I am proud to present you the Official (well, almost) Kelly Milkies Fan Club! In this thread we show our love and support for the third templar of the casting archon.

- Kelly is now the Community Outreach Manager at own3D.tv

- Kelly speaks about her experience in the SC2 community, what her role is now, and female gaming:

Kelly 'KellyMILKIES' Ong Xiao Wei is from Singapore and began gaming in 2005 playing competitive Counter-Strike with both male and female teams. Since then, she has been successful in multiple titles, including Guitar Hero, Rock Band and Defense of the Ancients. Now, as a caster, she has worked with World Cyber Games, Electronic Sports World Cup and some of South East Asia's biggest organisers.

Kelly's interest in StarCraft II arose from the complex game engine and add to that, the solo nature of the game meant that Kelly didn't have to "deal with team drama" of team-based games.

Kelly was recruited by GomTV networks in prior to the fifth season of the Global Starcraft League to serve as a caster for the english audience. She is currently working as a commentator of the Code A league alongside Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski and Nick "Tasteless" Plott.

[image loading]
*Professional commentator for HoN, DotA and SC2
*Her casting-style can be described as energic, observant and educational
*Favorite hero in DotA is Shadow Fiend
*Favourite hero in HoN is Witch Hunter
*Playing for clan aLt B-Team in SC2
*Plays Zerg in StarCraft II
*Her Birthday is 1989-12-05
*Shares Artosis love for Guinea Pigs
*Her favourite colors are gray and green
*Favourite animal is the koalabear
*Starcraft 2 is her favourite game of all time

Yeah, i do agree that Artosis+Kelly works much, much better than Tasteless and Kelly for obvious reasons. Their styles are much more compatible with each others

Finally!

Count me in.

I predict, in three months the haters gonna still be hating, but the overwhelming part of the community will have accepted her, and not out of frustration but because of her constant improvement that will make listening to her casting even more enjoyable.

For diversity! Kelly HWAITIIIIING ∞∞∞∞

This is a great thread and very professionally done. You should get the kelly-artosis high five fakeout gif up here as well IMO, just for a touch of humor to it.

Also, I'd even go so far as to say it seems to me that her game knowledge is actually superior to that of tasteless. Obviously that's not the only thing important in a commenator, but it is definitely a BIG one in my opinion. I'm not hating on tasteless either, I think his commentary, synergy with artosis, and humor still make him a "better" caster than kelly slightly, but the synergy and humor of kelly will grow as she continues to get more comfortable with her position. See the aforementioned hi five fakeout for evidence of this.

Go Kelly!

Edit: Any chance we could get this spotlighted? I think this thread does a lot for the community.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

She really is doing a great job with the casting this season I think. You can really hear in her casts that she plays/watches a TON of games and really is very knowledgeable on the game.
If the quarter was in your right hand, that would've been micro

Sign me up! (And can you remove "support group" from the thread title? It legitimates the silliness that went on here when she got the gig.)

Being a SEA player I was a fan of km before she even got to Korea, but even accepting this I'm really impressed how much of the (pretty harsh) criticism she has assimilated and how much she has adjusted her casting to address weaknesses. She obviously is really giving the job her all. Totally respect what she's doing.

Also props to Artosis and Tasteless for being cool.

Go Kels!

(Oh and go moonglade! What an IEM so far!)

(Oh and should we add or link stuff like the hi5 denial and the Rachael(?) interview and stuff in the OP?)

I am curious of GOM's selecting criteria, but I do support her and applaud her efforts thus far. I hope she gets better and raises the bar- she certainly has plenty of room for improvement and I look forward to seeing it happen.

1. She adds much needed diversity and colour to the scene.
This seriously isn't needed, you want to add asian diversity into a predominantly asian dominated scene? She isn't casting the IEM, she is casting in Korea.


I know some people are annoyed by her accent but i find it refreshing, energic and sincerley put; pretty damn cute.

So you are judging her merit not on her skill, but because she's a woman.

Most people probably dont realize this, but for being born and raised in singapore, her english is really really good.

But her accent sounds as thick as someone who has only been speaking English for a couple months and it is a pain to understand. This is the biggest factor of all about being a caster, if I have to focus on what you're saying then you're drawing my attention away from the game instead of augumenting my game viewing experience.


I dont think people realize how HARD it is for a person from her part of the world to learn to speak and understand english. As you might know, asian languages are fundamentally different from ours on the most basic level of speech; how you articulate speech. If you where to learn chinese or any other east-asian language you would pretty quickly understand the technical difficulities, because your vocal cords are not trained to the movements that those languages are built around, and it works the other way around. Listen to John for example, who is a very talented and hard working indivudual, but even he has a very hard time pronouncing certain words and phrases. I think its remarkable that kelly can speak and pronounce english so well and at such a fast pace (hehe) because most singaproreans could never come close to her level even if they trained for 25 years. SO WHAT if her pronounciation of some units/abilities is not perfect. She might say "Borrow" and "Steem" but its not like you dont understand that she is refering to Burrow/Stim.

Who cares. Zero relevancy to Starcraft. You are really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

You get the message, so why be bothered?

Because having to expend a tidbit of brainpower to make out what she's saying instead of it naturally clicking is a huge problem.


2. She has unquestionable passion and joy for what she is doing. She radiates energy and her voice is filled with excitement and enthusiasm wich is refreshing and in my opinion makes the game more exciting to watch, and her interest in the game and what happens on the screen is very convincing.

Really? My experiences are that she is incredibly monotone and the only thing she honestly seems to be enthusiastic about is Tasteless.

3. She has already proved to be highly Observant, Catching small details and paying attention to everything that goes on.

You're amazed by this when it's basically the only responsibility she has other than parroting the calls of Artosis/Tasteless?


4. She has Improved with every set so far and i think its safe to assume that she listens to feedback. Some issues are easy to solve (talking slower) other things require more time and training (learning how to pronounce certain words/letters better) but im pretty sure that this girl will be a top-notch caster in a couple of months if we just give her time to improve and adapt to her new life in Korea.

Her accent is still as unintelligible as day 1 and that is the reason people don't like her.

i mean, how often do you get the chance to hear a cute girl from singapore commentate a game that you love? just think about that for a minute or two ^_^

Posts like this further emphasis that you are blinded solely by the fact that she has a pair of tits and you're giving her an easier time because of it.

If we had a male caster who spoke with as thick of an accent, you would not be crusading to defend him right now.

Support Group? LOL. What is this I don't even.

This isn't even a fan page. There's no memorabilia, pictures, links. It's just you trying to shove a caster down our throats.

Do Not Want.
