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! well said, I agree 100% | ||

I dont care if the GLHF casters are worse, they arent the one casting gsl... People who cast GSL need to be the best casters alive, as it is the best players alive playing aswell... | ||

I think its the koreans you are referring to.. Observer was terrible but improved o.o I want to say new commentator girl needs time and is going to improve, but cant since those kind of things probably will take a long long time. | ||

What I don't like from watching the first few games she has casted in GSL so far is the lack of analysis that there is now for Code A matches. In the Tastosis casting archon, Tasteless did a great job of keeping the viewer engaged about what was happening on screen and the general game play. Artosis complemented this very well by offering very deep game analysis and a fundamentally sound and excellent understanding of builds and general gameplay. The problem I have with Kelly is that now she and tasteless are filling the same role. Both casters are now more focused on the onscreen action rather than what the players are thinking and planning. Maybe she can improve, but it is hard to argue that she can match Artosis's understanding of the game | ||

Very good plat player knowledge. I'm a plat player myself. Why am I not in that chair? Because I don't deserve it. Artosis is one of the best minds of SC2, him and tasteless were a perfect combination. What is the purpose of putting in someone that has less than, or limited knowledge compared to someone who has been there, and done that? The job is speaking. If you've got an accent, then you probably wouldn't want to get a job that focuses on displaying that. Why couldn't we fly JP or someone else down there? Not sure why GOM would chose a plat player/casted to do that job. I don't know. Why bench Artosis for newblood? | ||

Wow, nice stereo-typing bro.. Herp derp nerds.. Its retarded to think we are all socially akward shut-ins who just sit around shouting at wierd change -.-" There are also the educated among us, and there are also people who have good reasons not to like the new caster.. And that rediculously annoying highpitched voice is a legitimate reason to not like her. | ||

Her game-knowledge needs some serious work, but I think she's just supposed to be the caster anyway, and should be told to do less analysis, and more just telling us what's happening. It's really awkward having Tasteless and Kelly cast together because they both fill the same role, you really need someone like Artosis in the seat next to either of them to provide proper and accurate analysis of the game. | ||

Perhaps he is busy enough that he wanted more time for himself or just wanted more break. Casting every day for several hours for as many as 3 weeks in a row can be quite a drain I would imagine. I do agree though, as you would know from my previous post, that I prefer Artosis. It would be pretty cool if they flew like Day9 over for a little bit to have the ultimate casting duo. | ||

And what do you mean as a liberal, her grammar is equal to that of a native speaker if not better. And I say nerds and you flame me, tastosis say nerd and you take it as a compliment. I didn't mean it in a bad way but serious gamers tend to hate change more than any other gamer demographic! I think its because in the hardcore scene there is longer life on games, but you have to accept that at some point something has to change. You don't complain when John makes grammatical errors in the translations. It urks me at times when he makes silly small mistakes, but Kelly makes 0 and if you think she is making mistakes then you are mistaken. Anyway I'm pretty sure she has English as a native language, alas it's an official language of Singapore, and as far as I know its taught the same as US English, so chances are she just speaks with a different dialect/ accent, live with it, americans have different accents, allow the rest of the world to! | ||
