I dont like the feel of the new Starcraft-community, if we want E-sport to hit global we cant just have american casters with american accents. Also, try looking at SuperDanielMan, that guy has an even "worse" accent than Kelly but he was still very appreciated for his positive sides and his enthusiasm and not getting shittalked by nobodies on the internet just because he was born in Korea. Peace out yo. (Also, great interview haha) | ||

Overall I feared it would have been worse and was positively surprised by her first day of GSL. | ||

Like I said earlier, it seems like a lot of the people that can't understand her are more to blame than her accent. She may cast whatever the hell she wants, but GomTV should have hired a person who actually can speak English properly instead of her. I don't need to be a hen to recognize a rotten egg. I can speak English too, but you probably wouldn't understand half of what I say, is it OK to say "you don't understand, so it's your problem"? | ||

This has got to be a troll post. Her knowledge of the game is pretty low. I had written this to a friend of mine while discussing her casting. + Show Spoiler + The first game of Losira versus LegalMind shows this dramatically. Crevasse is a large map. That puts a burden on a zerg going hydras no matter what. Protoss knows this and goes blink stalker which almost forces hydras. If he does go hydras he can defend into colossus and still be at an advantage in the tech race, ahead of the corruptors. If he doesn't go hydras, well 2 base vs 2 base against blink stalkers, you pretty much have to have hydras, or the toss has to make a huge mistake and not use blink well. The fact that this angle was not discussed at all proves to me that tasteless and milkies do not have a high level understanding of sc2. The fact that they never discussed why someone going roach ling baneling versus pure blink stalkers on 2 base wasn't going to work, and was slowly going to put him behind over time, is a huge analysis misstep. | ||

You're the one that used generalizations ("why should we have to pay for it?") like if you're speaking for everyone ("we"), and I never said you paid anything, but you're the one who spoke like anyone is forcing you to pay ("should we have to pay?"). And then again, you wrote like GOM was actually forcing you to pay ("I just dont agree with gom basically just charging us for their mistakes"), when in fact you're not even paying for anything. Except for this stuff I pointed out, I can agree with what you said "hmm agreed on the attacks but reasonable for you may not be reasonable for othersyes i think hiring her was a mistake due to the fact that a lot of people (not including me) cant understand her english well/generally dislike her casting style)" That sounds more like a constructive post //tx | ||

Let's be honest, the people complaining aren't hating her because she's a non-native English speaker. We're criticizing the decision for GOM to put a non-native English speaker who has a limited understanding of the game at its highest level as a professional English language caster in the premiere SC2 event. If she was an emergency replacement caster, no one would post any serious complaints. Instead, she was deliberately chosen to be the caster for all of Code A. Frankly put, a caster only needs to be able to do two things. He needs to accurately analyze and describe the on-screen action, and he also needs to do so in a clear and pleasant manner. Under these criteria, I'm almost positive there are several more qualified casters available who would have jumped at the opportunity. Based on this assumption, I can only assume they chose her because either it was more cost efficient for them to hire and fly her to Korea, or they believed that a female caster would've been more popular. | ||

Yet another one of those "lets never ever find anything wrong with anything" posts of people who are satisfied with anything. Do you really think that people have difficulties understanding Tastosis as much as they have problems with Kelly? We know we can get something better and the GSL is supposed to be the best (highest paid) tournament in the world. If that is the case the organizers need to take care of the quality of their service and having someone do the commentary who is incapable of pronouncing several letters clearly is not going to do that job. Maybe you should try to think about the people who do not speak english as well as you probably do. For them it is almost impossible to understand her commentary. | ||

I really don't care about accents as long as you can understand what they're saying. Some words may be pronounced slightly differently with an accent and that's fine - my problem with Kelly is she'll occasionally have an entire string of sentences where you can't make out what she's saying. (I'd be more upset if I was watching live, but since I was watching the vods I just backed up a few seconds and relistened a few times.) I have no problem with her calling Hellions race cars if she can't pronounce the word properly, because we'll know what she's talking about so who cares. | ||

Between the two you quoted, I'm the only who has 60+ posts, and I fail to see where my ponctuation, grammar and spelling failed. I hope you're talking about the other guy lol =P //tx | ||

Edit: Her calling Hellions, racecars was brilliant and hot. Especially cool if she has a hard time saying hellion. Anyone remember her saying hellion? | ||
