Counterstrike before all of that, after SC2 she never really got into casting she was hired by own3d and still works there. She has been a part of a 'team' with those girls that have scrim'd in a bunch of in house leagues for a few months but Kelly never really took it seriously she just likes to play the game. Sayuri on the other hand is super intense about the team so I don't know why everyone is putting it all on kelly. Sayuri is the person with the influence, she tried getting Merlini Kuroky and a few others to get sponsorship from like TSM or some shit like that, and she was one of only two people you could realistically go to, to get beta keys early on in beta (along with merlini). Basically everyone who was in beta pre-NDA got a key from merlini/sayuri or got a key from someone who got it from those two. Also, Kelly is Singaporean yes but she sorta lives in the US now. Sorta being a very open term. On to another topic though, why is Purge featured on TL? The guy is a caster and not particularly entertaining, engaging, nor good compared to the pros that have been featured so far. Blitz is better in every aspect and he still has yet to get featured.

Come on, these are such basic things that casters should know. On top of that, in the past he alwyas says 'hey i'm not the expert thats what i have draskyll for' yet he starts blurting out stuff like "This Carry ES build by Dendi is going to change the metagame, people are going to start doing it" but no, dendi can do whatever he wants, its not going to change the pub metagame at all, that just isn't how dota works. People need to stop complaining about Tobi's casting, its fine, he at least has knowledge of the scene. | ||

Yea I don't mind purge if luminous isn't on. Also purge and Godz are quite a nice team. | ||

Since those were pretty high quality matches and he was the only english broadcaster, I guess they deemed him worthy. edit; who complains about tobi!? he's p4p best caster in all of esports, by far. most of people who speak 2 languages and play dota b4 the international dont like tobi cast... his play by play back then was no where close to what he is right now and is analytical casting is quite lack... Personally i dont like purge either, have blitz on my steam friendlist but i have never check out his stream... The feature thing is quite questionable bc he is the 'only caster' doesnt mean he is a good one and should be featured. But TL does has some funny conditions into their featured listing so i dont think they gona remove him anytime soon... | ||

Tobi also needed years to get xboct name right, and how should he have researched that? In the famous "how to pronounce dota2 pro gamers" wiki? Also tobi can't get names like "korok" right, and this name is not even "weird". If you want to bitch about those nonsense things you can do the same for tobi or any other caster. Also ofc when Dendi does something it also effects pubs game, suddenly people go for exort invoker or pudge. This statement wasn't wrong at all, also it was more a joke than a real statement. | ||

Purge has a neutral cast (not fantastic, not bad, and at least informative), and he has a correct obsing, which is really rare in the dota scene where the average observer is terribad. | ||

Yes ayesee is not an expert, but he doesn't need to be. He does a good job calling the action and letting Draskill fill in the details in the down time. The problem is, you dont really understand what you're missing. if he misses a gank you just miss it. if you saw a good caster/observer casting the same game as aysee you'd understand | ||

It says on the left who killed who. I'd say that in the recent casts that has happened less. I did go back and watch a few of the first Monthly Madness and I could tell that he has gotten a lot better. What I like is that they both understand their roles and concentrate on them. That is when they don't try to bring bulba in. Tobi to me is harder to listen to. I guess to each their own. | ||

New players wont notice it, because they don't know if what the casters say is true. Where even just an average player will cringe inside when someone calls, for example, dark seer, low armor. | ||
