She really got chucked in the deep end by having to cast instead of Artosis or Tasteless, she settled in nicely by the end of the day and once she has had time to grow a connection with the two I don't see any problems. People are obviously going to be against her given how she is technically replacing one of the most popular members of the Starcraft community but with time i'm sure she will will grow on all the Tastosis fanboys | ||

I don't see how it's any worse than hearing people from the UK butcher the English language, or their derivatives (Australian, various European ones). | ||

I don't think it's fair to rip Kelly for incorrect statements when Tasteless makes them all the time as well. And now you have two casters without an analyzer. I come to watch GSL to learn also because it is the highest level of play. I do play the game and i know what is going on but i am no pro to know the reasons behind those actions. Hence i need an analyzer like Artosis. | ||

Though I wish she improves her catchphrase bank a bit, and avoid saying 'Oh my god' and 'he's like'. Still, it's her first day on the field. It's one hell of a nerve-wrecking position to be in. I am definitely very keen to hear more casts from her. | ||

I don't think it's fair to rip Kelly for incorrect statements when Tasteless makes them all the time as well. I do think Tasteless can analyze the match. He did a good job in BW, and he is in master. He is no pro but he can analyze the match fine. When he casts with Artosis, he just lets Artosis do that job because Artosis does it better. Kelly just does not have the knowledge to do it but she tries to do it and that is when i have problem. Everyone has their job in this casting, just do it well and dont try to be smart. | ||

Kelly was fine even though her nervousness did show through (often, in fact). Sometimes she had issues with over-explanation, sometimes her humor seemed off. I'm sure she'll find her comfort zone. | ||

Lack of game knowledge however is annoying. It's not as bad as Jason Lee (who had NO game knowledge) but i hope they find some1 with game knowledge to cast with her. | ||

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. To be honest Seltzer, aside from her gender, she is just not fit for casting something like gsl. hate to say it, but its true. i would be thrilled if there was a women caster on the english casting team (teach the female korean caster english maybe?) but not her. her english is not the greatest, nor does she grasp the proper way to pronounce things/units in starcraft. she may have some game knowledge, but its her accent and her personality that will not make her a good caster. Though both can, and most likely will be improved. but for now she should not be casting GSL. GSL is the higest level tournament right now, and she simply does not have the experince. i'm sure if she dedicates herself to casting for a few months, she could come back to gsl and do well. To be honest there really are not any good english female casters yet, there are some who have ponential, but none who really do well. The only women english speaking caster i could see doing well would be anna, and thats mainly because she has the pulbic speaking experince, so she is able to present her thoughts clearly and well, and with having personality. its not a matter of gender though, its a matter of gaming experince and personality. for now the female casters do not have the same experince. i'm sure in a couple of years we will see more english casters who are female. | ||

UK butchers dont cast sports ... they are busy in their butchery. They would be as inappropriate as anyone else with such a heavy accent. Singaporean may be "normal" for Singapore, but listen to it with the ears of someone who is NOT used to several letters of the alphabet being vewwy poowly pwonounced and you might see where the problem lies. Try to listen to it through the ears of a non-native english speaker ... | ||

This entire thing really shows why there are so few female casters and players, i looked at her blog and she's getting harassed through messages etc. Some have constructive criticism and that's all good but most are just straight out harassing her. I would guess she's pretty used to it though, but it'll probably go to a whole other level now since GSL is so popular. | ||
