After the censor of Jinro interview about the soundproof-ability (is that a word?) then this?
Makes you wonder how trust-worthy is GOM T_T Technically, GOM could terminate Kelly's offer due to a breach of contract. Kelly made the announcement on her twitter without an official word from GOMTV.
You don't know the terms of the contract and if there was a breach

The statement is just saying that we will going to make an official announcement about casters and at that time information will be available. It's as simple as that.

Ok you obviously don't know the Aus and NZL relationship and my post was obvious sarcasm.

The thing is that Kellymilkies has already announced that she will be commentating for code A, which is what the uproar is about.

I am quite well aware what the uproar is about.
What I am saying is you can keep talking about this until 2012 (should be the end of the world) or wait till we make an official announcement and have everything served on a silver platter for you.

I was quite suprised when I saw the thread end up in the Community news section as well. I mean, basing news around a twitter announcement instead around something official is rather...well, discreditable.

Come to think of it, that Kelly might be trolling all of us!! sif GomTV gonna sign up someone like her lol. i think she along with TB and everyone could be larfing at this two threads atm..
or GomTV did really employed Kelly, but she stuffed it up with twitter which backfired big time and GomTV has excuse to terminate her contract.
Anyways, GSL is next week peeps! anything can happen, i already got my premium pass! :D can't wait for some Singlish PWNAGE!!!! lol
She and incontrol have been getting along pretty well, according to twitter... He's behind this somehow!!
No but actually, I bet that the secret information we should wait until Gom's announcement for is that they're going to have a set of three to five casters rotating around for the first season or two of code A.

If there are incredible co-casters then that's obviously going to be a good thing.
But kelly casting at all is what everyone's worried about. =/

Don't exaggerate. The term "everyone" includes me, and I can tell you that I am not worried about Kelly casting.

GOM is the best. I love you guys! <3

I have to agree. Exaggeration doesn't help to make your opinion any stronger. I am fully aware that many people think her commentating needs work, which I too,agree.
Regardless of me being a Singaporean, the fact i can understand her fully, but it is true she has quite a accent to her English compared to most of us. I am awaiting with abated breath on the news for the GSL Code A Casters. tomorrow seems like it would never come right now.

The kelly bashing is so disgusting. You only know about a couple of her casts. If she really goes to cast Code A games then GomTV has alot more information about her. Maybe she has a really impressive background. Maybe she has the will to learn and adapt. If someone starts casting for a living then he/she will improve much faster.
Or maybe not. But either way, I find it pretty tasteless and even stupid if you trashtalk and deny her before you know how the result is.
My prediction is: If she goes to Korea and is surrounded by the pro-scene and two of the very best casters all the time, then she will be a good caster in no time.

I trust in gomtv to find suitable casters and whoever they are we'll just have to see how they develop and what they make of it.
About the analysis of terminus re......LASER TOSS!! :D
man that is such a crazy name for a build, I immediately get a mental picture of a zealot with lasers coming out of it's eyes doing disco moves under a disco ball :D

When did TL-ers become so serious...

Oh reerri? Well...
My prediction is: she goes to Korea, and SURPRISE - she's exactly the same caster she was when she left Singapore.
A really really difficult to enjoy one.
See, that's how people judge other people. Based on what they've done before. Isn't it? Or am I missing something there?

The majority of people, or the vocal minority?
perform a proper survey of at least 10k people please.

You do not have the right to generalise other people into your opinions.
I am serious because your using your generalisation as a means to bash someone who's putting effort into the SC2 scene(stream,casting,commentating) when you,yourself arent doing anything to help besides hanging out in a forum throwing YOUR opinions out(in bold) as the gospel truth by generalising others into your view.
So thats why i felt the need to correct you and your "generalisation". back on topic:- My personal opinion of Terminus is this. Terminus's 16expansions i feel is too much for the current game state. It practically states its going to be a endgame fight where both Zerg(strong endgame macro) and Protoss(incredibly strong unit composition with huge AOE damage) Even the review was basically comparing to what the terrans would face now(weaker in all matchups) haha.

Something interesting I didn't know about Terminus RE before I saw this:
Rich gas exists (second expansion)

Fanboys need to stop being ignorant about Kelly. It's clear that (like any male caster) she is being judged on her merits not her gender. Having watched/listen to her cast numerous times for events on the SEA server, its safe to say that her analytical skills are completely sub-par, this is mostly what aggrieves the majority of people with her being selected as Code A commentator. In addition her English is not fluent either (a skill of which is absolutely necessary especially when you're playing the non-analytical role). This might seem like a huge bash, but this is my honest opinion like it would for any other caster out there.
There are plenty of other good alternatives whom I believe would've been better suited to this gig, namely the likes of Raelcun or RotterdaM if it were possible.. but it seems this was the most attractive option for GOM.
Best of luck anyway!
