Please talk about the games in this thread. If you feel the desire to rage about something, bottle it up inside you and lash out elsewhere. Thanks! |

Terrible is a bit to strong worded for me, but it's certainly not tolarable. To be honest, I could understand her *almost* perfectly, that being said, the other 2 issues on my list, her lack of knowledge and her high pitched voice are killing me(the latter especially). I agree : there's only one negative choice for three positive ones, so even if people are 50-50, the negative one will get a lot more votes than any of the other ones. Quite biased imho
At the same time it will get extra tolerable votes from people who don't want to say it's terrible but would use a less harshly worked negative option.

If she wasn't a girl, absolutely nobody here would be defending Kelly... and she wouldn't get the job to begin with (lets be honest.) I think it's more likely that she was able to arrive on extremely short notice. Kelly did pretty well in-game, but she needs to learn to look at the camera. She looks shy and a bit uncomfortable. Still, there's hope for her, I think. There isn't, however, any hope for that last game. So much waste into banelings, lol 
Have you seen her resume? If a guy turned up at GOM with that resume, I'd think Gom will give him the job the same as they gave it to Kelly.
Her accent is unfortunate but honestly her resume is pretty awe-inspiring. Most of the casters that applied probably didn't come close to her in this regard. And the guys that do probably didn't applied due to RL and other engagement.

awww,., she silently giggled

Honestly don't like the new caster...why they didn't pick Torch is beyond me. He obviously has the game knowledge to do it and has a fair personality, and from what I've seen is a pretty good caster.

stalker vs banelings
probably only thing worse would be immortals vs banelings
eh, her accent is fine, shes not american, so you have to expect that
as for her casting, remember how much we all HATED the camera man for gsl english?
he turned out ok
its her first day at the job, yea shes nervous, shes next to someone she doesnt know, imagine your first day of work
now imagine that on camera in front of a bunch of SC2 players, so i think shes doing ok

I wonder if they will try Artosis + Kelly. I miss the player-knowledge that Artosis brings.
Also yeah we are gonna talk about commentators when there is a 15 minute break between games!
I'm pretty sure that they're rotating the casters so yeah.

And you get people wanting to avoid a friendly bias so they simply err on the side of caution instead. It's a moot argument.
Whether or not she a girl, I'm happy to see different caster combinations, but I hope she improves since she seems nervous. It probably is a bit awkward to be a girl in what's a very predominantly male world. We might find something we like besides Tasteosis, but we will also appreciate Artosis and Tasteless together all the more for the games that "matter."

Nick is so flirting with her. Doing her hand gestures.......
They both have some of the sexiest lips I've ever seen.

Sigh I open the thread to read about the game I missed half of and I all I see is another 40+ page thread of people whining about Kelly. Fuck off!
So why did Losira make all those Banelings? Was LegalMind very Zealot/Sentry heavy to begin with and then capitalised with a tech switch? Or was Losira just smoking crack?
No legalmind just went Blink stalker. I dont really understand Losira's banes.
They seemed to do decently when it was heavy roach/ling and a couple of banes. But eventually he didnt have enough lings.

I kinda liked the defense with the banelings, though. Those that did connect did some impressive damage to the stalkers; I guess Losira just hadn't properly prepared for them to be blink stalkers. Just like he built that spore to defend against DTs that never came - bad scouting essentially ruined his game.
If you see that many stalkers with TC what else would you expect? Pure stalker army just for the sake of it?
Bad decisionmaking ruined it if anything, banelings work well vs. light, not vs. stalkers.

Lol, one person clapping :-/

It isnt just you though im simply using it as an example.
All in all, i don't find her that intoleratable. I mean sure I dont think her and tasteless are as good as tastosis. Of course her accent isnt helping either.
However, this is her first time here, i think people just need to give her more time to get used to things. And from her casting of the last game, you can feel she did her homework.
At least appreciate the work she put in it, and give her some time.

i think that she needs to take all her clothes off and don't talk.. that would be fine i guess:-)

It was just a 5-10 min break, not like the 50+ min to 2 hour delays in other tournaments (which shall not be mentioned)
At least Straat Fightah' voice is back!

are you kidding, artosis kept screaming for choya in the fou match, even though he should've known he was banned, both tasteless and artosis have been pretty bad with keeping up with the things casted should keep up with in terms of players

Tasteless goes National Geographic commentator style, lol. He should cast games like that.

Chill and artosis in the tsl quals was NOT instant synergy. They go waaaay back.
Yea that's a good point, I should have thought out my post a little better. I guess what I meant is that I'm sure there would have been someone better suited create that kind of synergy. Then again it's just the first gsl cast for her, so she might get better.

eh? i just tuned in where'd artosis go?????????????
who's this newb caster?
