WAIT WAIT WAIT, why have I not seen any comments on how hot the girl on the left is? Does she play SC o_o???

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.

She really has nothing helpful/interesting to say and some things are just wrong...

Is she really plat.league?

If you're not mid or high in masters, you shouldn't be allowed to cast!

Okay, if we're going to use that bar, who is allowed to cast these days? I don't think many casters are in mid-high masters. Heck, I'm not even sure if Day[9] is in masters, but that's also because he probably ladders on a ghost account. Are Chill, DjWheat, JP, or any other casters in masters? Only progamers that are usually playing in the tournaments are probably in masters.

Knowledge of the game comes in many ways, and I'm sure there are spectators that are extremely knowledgeable about the game simply by watching matches since people learn in different ways.

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.

Perhaps the best post in the thread. Sadly, I don't think very many people can be objective about this issue. It is too polarizing.

imo this has less to do with kelly's casting and more to do about GOM picking her to cast, you guys cant blame her if u think she's not qualified, the blame can really only lie on GOM for picking her, for those of us who didnt enjoy the commentary...stop complaining about the caster for taking advantage of a great opportunity! im all for kelly improving but GOM seriously needs to reconsider the amount they charge; i know its really not much money but for someone who doesnt work (school) and plays/watches sc2 on his free-time its not worth the money/time and that is really MY biggest problem with this whole situation(is it fair to ask people to pay to watch someone basically learning to cast? - this comes from basically everyone saying she has room to improve) GOM shouldve seriously thought this through and maybe even had code A content for free?....people should jstop with these personal attacks and direct all the anger towards something more deserving.

I heavily agree - very good post and probably the thing about her that I am not comfortable about as well, but couldn't detect.

Have you seen her teeth?
Not going to go any further here b/c her looks have nothing to do with casting.

Is it really that strange to expect professional casters, who get paid to cast the most prestigious tournament with the best players, to actually be good players on their own? I think you have to be at least near Master League level to really catch most of the stuff that goes on in a game, especially since higher level games often get decided by small details. Pretty much all decent casters can play at quite a high level, even when we are talking random amateur streams for those 100$ dollar tournaments and such. Almost all of the casters are mid-high diamond at the very least and quite a few are master and play a ton of games.
