I think someone either mistook him for Chris Kattan or it was a joke since they do look kinda similar Edit: i got beat to it =( | ||

With the amount of bigotry and pure hate that Kelly has been receiving despite her efforts, it really goes to show just how long the foreign community has to go before e-sports can really "explode". Not saying her casting is top notch, but to take her as a scapegoat for all your frustrations instead of giving positive feedback so she may improve is completely childlish... On that note, Kelly, if you read this, try to speak slower so you can properly emphasize and ennunciate certain phoneme you seem to have the most problems with. For example, [r]. | ||

Kelly is cool it's just... it's like this: Artosis HAS to be there. We NEED his fucking amazingly insightful commentary; as a Zerg player I don't know the complexities of any nonZ MU worth SHIT, so when I see some weird attacks I don't know how to gauge who comes out ahead as well as he does. Kelly+Artosis would probably not get that much complaining AT ALL. Tasteless + Kelly is just like, two funny/cool people but it makes the games way more boring. Frankly I'd go as far as to say that Artosis makes the GSL as interesting as it is because you get everything from a VERY informed/pro perspective.

Indeed, can't believe there's not a caster available that speaks fluent easily understandable English with a pleasant voice. Maybe one day. Her perceived improvement in casting is due to her not speaking as much as she did before. | ||

First of all, shes doing fine. Secondly, its all about who is doing the judging for recruitment. Clearly the people who recruited were not "american" or "australian" its a korean company recruiting after all.. Kelly has a huge asian backing and for ppl to sit down and just start bitching about her when they didn't apply for the job themselves is ridiculous. Honestly guys.. grow up! | ||

Not saying her casting is top notch, but to take her as a scapegoat for all your frustrations instead of giving positive feedback so she may improve is completely childlish... I think only a few people have criticized her on the part of gaming knowledge, but all the people who say "she will be improving rapidly" are wrong. You can NOT weave a wand and have good enunciations and an acceptable talking speed within days or weeks. That takes months of practice, but I dont see her twittering about going to a lesson to improve that; all she seems to do is sticking around the GOM studio.

For example, [r]. /sarcasm on Stop this Kelly-hating! /sarcasm off Seriously, if you call the comments of others bigotry and hate you should refrain from doing the same OR stop using these words to describe the shitload of constructive criticism. People simply cant stand her accent and that is an opinion they have to be allowed to voice. People describing her as having "just an accent like every other accent" are soo wrong, because accents use the whole alphabet. Someone should tell her to go and watch "My Fair Lady" ... that is the best advice I can come up with on how to improve her casting. This kind of improvement takes time and effort and the only way she thinks she needs to improve is to adapt to Tasteless and Artosis in her casting style and jokes. In german we would call people like that "beratungsresistent" (immune to advice). People in the eye of the public (musicians, singers, moderators, politicians, ...) have to acknowledge that they are held to a higher standard than your average Joe. This must be the case because they are role models to the rest of society. Our societies need role models which are above average or its quality will stagnate or even decline. Having the decency to admit "my english isnt good enough YET to cast for a worldwide audience" and not applying for this worldwide job would have been a first sign of decency, but getting professional help for speaking clearly would have been a second. I dont think she did either of those and this makes every criticism totally valid and NOT hatred. So I would advise Kelly to withdraw from commentating after this season, get a professional speech coach (maybe in England so she gets away from the community which speaks just like her) and come back in half a year or however long it takes to be able to pronounce r and l and all the letters of the alphabet clearly ...

Honestly ... its the GLOBAL Starcraft League and the job is to commentate in ENGLISH. It is fine that she has a huge asian backing, but then GOM should start providing a second international stream in Singlish (or whatever her way of speaking is called). Let the viewers decide by giving them the choice, right now that is not the case. | ||

Your accent slipped through into your post  . It's to wave a wand, not weave it. Also, why does she have to twitter about getting speaking lessons? Just because she hasn't does not preclude the possibility of her doing so. | ||
