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. Shouldn't be bashing her. I know that much, but when you look at SkCom's post, it makes it more obvious to see why she just isn't up to par. | ||

I wasn't so keen on her commentating today, I have to admit.... racecars... blah, poor joke given how people feel the lack of knowledge is an issue... and I don't mean to be hating but if it was important to have a woman on the show for GOM then I'd much rather have tastlesse's mom on there casting (no joke!).... because I know from Day9 talking about her that she'd do an awesome job and everyone would love to see an sc2 family talking about it on camera :D its be so relaxed, great chemistry, educational and funny...Do it GOM! save the show | ||

Are you kidding, you agree with that? Did you watch the cast She was also very unprofessional with Tasteless today, going as far as touching him when he was obviously uncomfortable with it. He is obviously just pulling shit out of his ass, or has no concept of body language. Tasteless was definitely getting along well with her, and there is absolutely no way he was feeling uncomfortable. Did you even notice at the end he was leaning towards her more than he was at the beginning. Yeah you must be really uncomfortable to lean towards someone. Unprofessional? You can't get more unprofessional than tasteless, its not possible. She acted shy several times when tasteless made some ridiculous joke, like she was embarrassed. Seriously WTF were you watching? | ||

And you all raged; GSL Season 4 (i think) - New Observer was absolutely atrocious and terrible in the beginning.. And you all raged; Both the above are totally awesome now.. GSL Code A - Kellymilkies isn't atrocious or terrible; just different.. Why can't you just give her some time to adapt to her new position? I suppose you need something to fill your time with :/ Time will tell.. | ||

The observer 'issue' (if you can even call it that) was a whole different can of worms. I wasn't the only one who pointed this out. Several of the old guys from the BW scene have tried to tell you guys. Having an observer control the camera is actually an old idea that worked very well in BW. It was obvious Tasteless couldn't handle both tasks and now he's better for it. I don't know how many guys have to say it before you guys get it. Likewise, people bitched and moaned about Artosis and Tasteless when the game just came out. Keyword, just came out. Everything was new. They are bound to make mistakes. Got to get your mojo going. Back in BW, they were pretty much the best we got in terms of English casters. So, you could nitpick at everything they say and you know what? Lots of people would make the same mistakes. Tasteless would stutter. Artosis and Tasteless would lose their voices all the time because they have no voice coaches, etc. Kelly on the other hand, is a whole different can of worms to the rest. You can try compare them all you want, it would still be wrong. | ||

Tasteless/Artosis combo is still sick though. GSL has been some of my favorite Tasteless casting. | ||

I don't know who is more annoying, the people blowing her accent out of proportion or the people who are acting as if she has no bad accent at all and that everyone can understand her 100% of the time. Sigh... Still gonna have to go with my gut: get Artosis back. With all respect to Artosis... how does casting GSL Code A and Code S take too much time? Is he doing other work on the side? Is his practicing to become a better player taking too much time? Maybe its studying up on each player and map individually? I just don't really see how it takes "too much time", but I may be wrong. | ||

I know, its like everyone jumped on this bandwagon and just spewing hate. The only thing I can agree with is her accent and fast speaking at times. But I have yet to see any examples of her so called VERY lacking game knowledge. I tried calling people out but they can't seem to respond. | ||

I suppose you need something to fill your time with :/ Time will tell.. Yeah, but the first two examples were improved because 1. Tasteless and artosis got more knowledge of the game. 2. The observer just needed practice. Her thick accent is going to be with her forever, and for the majority it's just not possible to look past. | ||

It's about the bigger picture and the image of eSports It's sad that esports sponsors like gomtv think that the viewers are a bunch of pimply teenagers who would fap to any asian girl. Listen to me gomtv: SC2 nerds knows how to load red tube videos on their browser. They pay 10 bucks to support the jokes of tasteless and the analysis of artosis. If they don't care about the casters and esports: they know how to load youku gsl videos into their browsers. http://i.imgur.com/nm9pv.png Btw her analysis of the new GSL maps in this interview is so bad. | ||

Unless she is making those mistakes consistently every game, then it is no big deal in my opinion. | ||

Even Day9, Artosis, any other "good" caster continues to make mistakes occasionally. Unless she is making those mistakes consistently every game, then it is no big deal in my opinion. But a lot of people ARE having problems wit her accent. Behind the hate people are spewing there is a legitimate problem. Is that not reason enough to reconsider? | ||
