What happened to Torch? I like his casting

Oh well, guess I'll hope for the best.

I'll reserve judgement until after a few Code A games. But a heavy accent will kill the commentary very quickly for me.

I will say one thing... This community knows how to fucking complain like no other. The amount of vitriol that is spit at both Kelly and GOM actually blows my mind.

Also, for those talking about an accent... removing an accent isn't required, so long as a conscious effort to speak clearly is made on her part. You'd be surprised how much you can understand in almost any thick accent if they make sure to emphasize the right part of a word or simply try not to slur words much.

I'm much more curious to see how she'll work with Tasteless and Artosis than I am worried about her accent.

edit: That said. Everybody should chip in and have Chill move to Korea and start casting. Who's with me? And Chill, your consent is not required.

Just a quick spillover from the last thread because it got locked when I had a reply written. I posted the stuff because I've no other way to get it to Kelly but felt she should know WHY I think she's unprofessional so that she can actually take it into consideration in the future.


If she doesn't know why Singlish is a problem when casting to an international audience, she doesn't, honestly, deserve to cast for such an audience.

Note to some other people: Singlish is a choice. It's not some random accent they were unfortunately born with / cannot change forever.

imho they gave Torch other responsabilities.. as far as he told hes not "responsible" for the foreigners at the foreigners house getting in touch with the korean culture. showing them arround and stuff.

And give this girl a chance. I mean casting with artosis will be no problem, since he got skills to explain the situation etc.. she just has to fill the gaps then. Problematic could be the casts with tasteless where none of them is a sc2 genius.. (maybe im wrong with tasteless, because probably every1 would look like a noob when sitting next to artosis)
life is like fighting a dinosaur.. it's pretty hard.

I just realized that, Liquipedia tricked me.

I think this is actually her casting with TotalBiscuit. Doesn't sound so great.


Yup, that's the one I hated and just couldn't watch.

Edit: I guess I should clarify. If she came in with another partner new to the GSL, they would have time to mold to each other and develop as a team. With this system, it's going to create a culture of wishing for either Artosis or Tasteless depending on who is casting.

I agree. With this type of mixing it doesn't even make sense to add someone new. It's kind of half-assing it -- do it all the way or not at all.



Well..don't the Korean commentators act somewhat interchangeably?

Who? Not the ones that we watch. Tasteless and Artosis are always together. I have no idea about the actual Korean ones, though.

You should probably edit the video out of your quote of me so other people don't get tricked.

I liked Tasteless + Lil Susie. I'm interested to see how this turns out. I don't think that Kelly + Artosis would be very good, but Tasteless can really carry any caster to awesomeness. People are making way too big of a deal about this.
Edit: Typo

Does anyone have a youtube link of her casting? I'm curious what the big fuss is about.

Edit: Nvm, someone just posted it. Ugh lol. I understand now .

Her attitude will not change between last week and next week unfortunately


Well, that's where I'd argue that it actually might.
Last week: casting SEA tournaments
This week: finding yourself moving to Korea to cast GSL for GOMTV

That would change my attitude towards things.. suddenly a hobby has become a job! But then again that's just my way of thinking - and hopefully how Kelly is thinking about this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy0dSSPl2UA

The first 10 seconds are awesome, than she starts talking faster and faster, and her accent gets heavier and heavier, and no one knows what the hell she's saying.

Solution? She should talk slow, because English isn't her first language, she sounds more asian the faster she talks. If she does this, she'll be fine.

I hope she improves or this is going to be a seriously painful season for some of us paying customers. I would have been happier with the guy that substituted Artosis and Tasteless when they went to Blizzcon. He knew very little about SC2 but damn was his voice exciting! =D Great casting voice is a must for me, then knowledge of the game. I feel she has neither and I gave her a shot by watching several of her casting videos. Maybe if they get an awesome co-caster! Is she even in Master's league? Either way, let's see what happens this season. If its good, then great! If not, I hope GOM will adapt quickly =)

Personally, I can't stand casters like totalbisquit, husky, kelly; simply because they don't do any sort of high level analysis (just gimicky humour).I love Artosis simply because he knows the game very well and presents himself very well. I learn so much each time he casts, and it seriously improves my game. Tasteless just compliments artosis so well, I can't imagine kelly+artosis or kelly+tasteless being anything similar.

edit: also I hate TB's and kellys voices.

I have had a chance to think about it at more length since the first announcement, and while I still don't think Kellymilkies is the best choice from a commentary point of view, there may be other factors that we aren't privy to. Perhaps the other applicants tried to attach too many conditions to their hiring.

I don't like the "she had a good resume" line though.

She may have a resume stretching out through a lot of major tournaments but that doesn't mean she did a good job with those tournaments (because she didn't).

I will reserve ultimate judgement (and the purchase of a ticket) until I see the first cast by her. Being in Australia, watching free is not difficult for me at all because the games start at 5pm, and given that the HQ Stream is not THAT much better quality than the SQ stream, the advantages of the season ticket are much less for me than they would be for someone in the US who can't stay up late and who needs the VODs. As such, I am perfectly happy to leech off GOM's free stream and send them a message by voting with my wallet that I am not happy with this choice.

But, she may surprise us. So I will wait and see.

Well lets just give her a chance before making anymore judgment calls. If its bad as everyone thinks it is, they won't renew her for the next GSL. I'm pretty sure she will work hard to improve her casting skills as this is a big break for her. Not to mention with the help of Artosis and Tasteless, she could do a lot better than in her youtube vids.

Meanwhile you can still enjoy watching players like Moonglade, HuK and ret play on Code A and and badass Jinro on Code S :D

Folks, I agree that the wording does come off as ambiguous, but I think there's some confusion here between people who are interpreting it as "half of Code A will be Tastosis, the other half will be Kelly" and "half of Code A will be Kelly/Tasteless, the other half will be Kelly/Artosis". I'm pretty sure it's the second.

For the time being, Tasteless and Artosis will take turns casting with Kelly "kellyMILKIES" Ong Xiao Wei for GSL March Code A. Kelly had a good resume and showed us that she was willing to adapt and improve as a caster.


For now half of Code A will be Kelly + Tasteless and the other half will be Kelly + Artosis.

We will update you guys with any changes that might be made (of course for the better and not for the worse).

Any change that involves firing her will be an improvement. I would rather watch the Korean stream or have no audio at all than to listen to her. I can already imagine how awkward it's going to be for Artosis having to correct everything she says, or at least everything she says that he manages to understand somehow. It could be an even bigger train wreck with Tasteless if she tries to make jokes with him.

My only hope is that this is a temporary situation until better casters get all their paperwork approved.
