she should try to take some english classes, and perhaps stop ruining the entire GSL tournament.

Koreans don't like having a woman caster for the korean part, english speakers don't want a woman caster for the english part, how complicated is this to understand?

It's clearly obvious that the only reason she was picked is because shes a woman, marginally attractive, and because she is asian.

Seriously, it seems that all these flames are about accent. However, the European casters accents are bad as well, hell but they are not speaking their native tongue. This is an international game. This is amazing that a game has touched the whole world. If you take that into account why not have a person who can cast this wonderful game in the best English she can. Hell people watched Khaldor and it was auf Deustch (in German). I wonder if the people who are flaming can speak another language. I wonder also if they do speak another language how much do you think that the native speakers can't stand your accent. Good Luck Kelly

Non-native speakers cannot understand accents well. I'm assuming that you as an American are a native English speaker, so here's an example: have you ever heard someone speak another language you know (like say, Spanish) in a non-Spanish accent? It's fucking impossible to comprehend.

I don't wanna take away Artosis' vocal skills, they are just insane
But you should listen to her closely
She really knows what's going on all the time and (without being able to observe the game herself) and has really good game-understanding

...so all you're attacking in this comment is her gender? ...why? There is constructive criticism and then there is blatant sexism. Get over the ovaries, bro.

And you are making some major assumptions here about GomTV's thought process. Until you know all the casters who applied and how they presented themselves in their applications, I don't think you are qualified to make that assessment.

Peace, love, and open-mindedness.

NERDS: WE DONT LIKE CHANGE, IT SHOULD BE TASTELESS AND ARTOSIS CASTING 300 GAMES A DAY!!!! LETS NOT GIVE HER A CHANCE!


Seriously nerds, life's going to change and you have to adapt. The reason your socially awkward is because you don't like change. She's good, her accent is a non issue, she commentates well. Remember how nervous you were on your first day of school, or your first day of work. Now put that in front of a huge international audience and you'll imagine how difficult it will be! Stop the whining and live with the change. She's better than the korean female commentator, and having a female speak in my ear makes me feel much less gay than listening than 2 guys all the time!

Her knowledge is very good, her humor will get more natural as she settles down, her accent will become neutral in time, her english is perfect. To those who say it's not, have you ever taught people who are learning english as a second language? Their lexical choice is often disjointed and their grammar has minor inflectional errors. As a language major and an english grammar teacher, I would say shes better grammatically than I guess 70% of native english speakers because we change the grammar to be more conversational and often its wrong!
