EPTAnd I swear, some of the criticism I have seen so far is extremely unfair. Tasteless and Artosis both say really obvious things at times to help fill the air. Don't give her shit for doing that.

i can understand everything shes saying without a problem, but she just sounds annoying, and they aren't funny together. also there's no "flow" in the casting, but that may get better over time. | ||

I dont know if it is reasonable to expect her to completely drop her accent like some of you seem to think she should, nor do I think that it is necessary. If Daniel can go on and on about monkey milk and people find it endearing, why cant she say "zee-lots"? | ||

 I understand you might like doing it but due to your accent it's not something we can enjoy as watchers. | ||

Really didn't mind at all, after the first set was wrapped up it felt like both she and tasteless relaxed into their roles a bit more and the banter got going and things went pretty smoothly. As for in depth game analysis, she's there for play by play casting and her role is to talk about what is happening. It's Tasteless and Artosis that will be going in depth and talking about why it's happening. Perfectly happy to see how this turns out, it at least makes for a refreshing change of pace and will hopefully keep Tastosis sharper and more switched on during Code S. Also props to Tasteless for being a good guiding hand through the broadcast today too. (Oh and I know Artosis can get a bit snippy so I hope he doesn't throw her under the metaphorical bus at some point xD) | ||

Everyone saying 'derpderp well I can understand her just fine, what's the problem derp derp' - yes, I can understand her (for the most part) easily, but that's because: 1. I speak english natively, and 2. have been around fobs all my life. These two points should not automatically be considered true for everyone that will be watching her cast. Is it a matter of not being able to find a suitable caster? This makes no sense. If at any time the viewers have to 'fill in the gaps' by actively listening, you obviously have the wrong person for the job. | ||

The accent was a non issue for me, I could understand everything just fine. The only thing i missed was Artosis^^ All in all, it was way nbetter than I initially feared it would be. | ||

And I feel like Kelly may be fine as long as she's like the secondary caster, she's too much energy to be primary and definitely too much energy to be solo. Her game knowledge is good enough that if the primary role is being filled by someone else, she will be able to make insightful comments on what IS happening, however she is not insightful enough to commentate on what is GOING to happen. | ||

There have been numerous replies in the threads about her with screenshots and proof that she is quite self-centered, doesn't take criticism well (there was this one guy with such a well-constructed post and she basically told him to fuck off if he doesn't like it) and looks for attention every opportunity she gets. The accent, ok, it might be tough for some people, but we can get over it if she was really a good and likable person with a sense of humor and added something to the casts. Which she, simply put, is not; and that is not going to change, because people don't change their personalities over a week, a month, or a year. Right now the only thing she's adding is "she's cute/female" and some people obsess over that. She was also very unprofessional with Tasteless today, going as far as touching him when he was obviously uncomfortable with it. I'm concerned about the image of professional casters when I see her name associated with the profession. It's not about her as a person, I could really care less and it changes nothing in my little nerdy life. It's about the bigger picture and the image of eSports. | ||

Are you fucking serious she has nowhere near as must knowledge about the game as Artosis, Artosis Can analyze a game better then pretty much anyone stop trolling. | ||

Yes, she had trouble pronouncing some words. That is certainly a problem. But I'm sure she is working on it. Who's the interviewer chick, by the way? | ||
