Okay kids, look:

Whether you like this girl or not, a few facts:

Whenever you work for a professional organization, where there would be an official announcement, YOU DO NOT jump the gun with your own announcement. It is considered bad form, and a sign of poor discipline. Right now, when many people are deciding whether or not to purchase the premium package, is NOT THE TIME to make an announcement that could be considered controversial, or impact someone's purchase decision. It is likely, that GOM is now forced to make an announcement before they had hoped; AFTER more signups had been banked.

Another fact, whether you like the voice of the girl in question or not, her streams do not display the kind of game-knowledge and insight that we are used to from Tastosis. That is a fact. There are aspects to the game that I learned ONLY from listening to those casters. She adds nothing to a viewer's understanding of the game overall, or the strategies employed during a particular match.

I feel for the girl, because it appears the whole situation is turning out to be a huge cluster fuck, but GOM is a business, and Starcraft 2 deserves the opportunity to grow worldwide. Poor decision making in business, is just as bad as getting supply blocked in the game.

Good luck to her, but were I her at this point, I would gracefully exit from the controversy before being asked to leave the position. It would serve her well in the future to resign now, rather than risk an embarrassing firing over this.

Wow I can't believe all you ignorant fucks. We put up with American accents for EVERYTHING, even the god dam Australian Tennis Open has an American commentator. Get over the fact that you are going to maybe have to strain you're precious ears a little bit to understand what she is saying because she is a great caster and if she doesn't get this spot it will be total bullshit.

GOM if this post is about Kelly not getting the spot then that is a fucking disgrace on you're part.
