It's actually quite huge mentally, because you know your opponent can just go and check match history. It screws with what you had planned and its just really not a position you want to be in. yeah merz is right, fortunately they did both go for the same opening but its the psycholigal part that matters, you might think your opponent switches it up on purpose etc, obv right thing to do is not to look at the game history and im pretty sure neither of them didI went over to both players after the series straight away and apologid, select said 'fu man!'. :D but he was kidding and said it was np, will just pause straight away in future which would have been the right thing to do, just got caught offguard, first games over here on the 2nd stream where I gotta controll everything myself and host the games as well, while on main stage you just get invited and go, ;( anyway happened cant change it anymore, did learn from it, will tripple check in future ;( | ||

I find it pretty strange that Kelly has to take a shit ton of crap every time she show's her face, but other people with worse English don't, cause they are not women. I'm listening to Kelly right now, her grammar and pronunciation is pretty damn solid. Yeah, Rotterdam's and Take's pronunciation is so much harder to understand and their grammar isnt half as good. I can understand anyone of those three perfectly fine, I'm just sayin... | ||

You can't expect everyone to speak perfect english. The fact that his might be worse doesn't mean that his complaint isn't legitimate. I can imagine people with poorer english have issues with certain accents they aren't used to. I agree but this is just making a general point. People whose English isn't so good will have problems with accents yes. But that's not particular to any one accent: it's accents generally. That could mean having problems understanding a lot of English speakers too. Lots of people in the US and in the UK have accents. You will find plenty of TV anchors in the UK who have northern regional accemts, for example. To this particular case: in my opinion Kelly's accent actually has very precise and sharply pronounced consonants. She pronounces every word very fully, never missing any components of the vocalisation. If anything that should make her English easier to understand. The only other slight part of her accent is her vowel sounds, which have a little bit of colour to them, that's all. Nothing that should significantly impede understanding. But then again it's a very personal matter. I just think it's unfair to criticise someone for having an accent. There is actually no one who casts who doesn't have an accent at this event. I suspect criticising an accent is proxy for some other more basic dislike. Possibly the only caster who comes close to something resembling arguably the most "standard" English is TotalBiscuit, who is well known for the clarity of his speech. Again, this is a personal matter. | ||
