EPTIt's sad that Tastosis won't be casting Code A anymore though. One of their best qualities was making a lackluster game enjoyable which Code A tends to have more of. Oh wells.....

Theres page up, page down about his sweet voice and flaming kelly, but no one seems to have noticed how he blatantly impersonates tasteless and sometimes artosis. I mean its not just that he uses the same jokes - that i could have gone along with - but he also uses the exact same pitch in his voice. It is like he's some sociopath which thinks his success as a shoutcaster is directly related to him sounding like tasteless. I can understand him being nervous as it was his first day and all, but this is something he has obviously practiced and memorized brooding alone in his dark room. He seems to have no indivduality, no soul (maybe he was born ginger) I dont mean to be overly critical. Yes his voice was good. He handled the limelight pretty well. But people whose role model seems to be The Talented Mr. Ripley just doesnt sit right with me. Its shoutcasting, not an impersonation contest. Hopefully he will develop a personality over time.

Unless it's causing too much strain on their vocal cords. In that case, I totally understand. | ||

Instead I was pleasantly surprised, while there isn't too much analysis of Tastosis caliber (which isn't saying much, considering they are probably the best of the best) his voice is really relaxed without sounding boring at all. I'm usually critical of voices, often ending up simply muting most streams but as I said, I was pleasantly surprised. | ||

Girl with a bad voice and no game knowledge = community is up in arms! Guy with a good voice and no game knowledge = perfect fit for GomTV! I mean come on. Yeah the guy is very professional and he's a born MC/radio personality, but so is Jason Lee and I wouldn't have supported him getting the job alongside Kelly either. There was zero meaningful analysis of any of the games played. He doesn't have an incredibly vibrant personality. What does he really add to the cast? He's just kind of "there". An improvement over Kelly to be sure, but this is not the caliber of casting that we should be expecting from the biggest SC2 tournament in the world. I can't believe there's so much hate on these forums for Husky, yet someone with less knowledge and less personality is instantly embraced. | ||

But people whose role model seems to be The Talented Mr. Ripley just doesnt sit right with me. Its shoutcasting, not an impersonation contest. Hopefully he will develop a personality over time. Thats a bit harsh but I agree with the general point. At first I was really glad he had excellent intonation, nice voice, looks good etc but then I started to notice exactly what you are pointing out now. It's a bit of a hit or miss though, on one hand he really did his homework and it does make it quite solid but on the other hand the similarities can become a bit too much, so I get what you mean. However a big part of this is also because while doing so, he takes long breaks because he realises what he's doing and he knows you are gonna come on here and say that!  The thing with that is, its his first day, when I get nervous I can't think at all! So for me it's no surprise and not a big deal that he falls back on what he has planned. When he settles in more, gets less nervous, is able to think and implement more things on the spot, I'm sure his personality will make its appearence and he can start to create his own style. Similar to what we have seen happen with kelly, and the gom observer, within days they make tremendous progress and this guy will do the same and probably improve really well, like to a new level. I really think so he actually seems skilled at casting and I think that's what Brother DJWheat always preaches with the Church of eSports  , there goes a lot of thought into the actual casting process and that is very important to play and expand upon, and he knows it and that alone makes me really curious to see where it will take him. Best of luck btw! | ||

I think he sounds pretty good overall, and he while he doesn't seem to have the highest caliber of analysis, he knows what he's talking about. I'm interested in how he and Kelly will handle casting together. Who's going to analyze, and who's going to play-by-play? Or will it be something else entirely. | ||

I can't believe there's so much hate on these forums for Husky, yet someone with less knowledge and less personality is instantly embraced. Two basic things about a caster. One is the voice and the other game knowledge. If you have one of these things only, then working with a second person (male or female) with the other is a perfect fit. And this is what we have seen in EVERY sport. But if you lack both, people are not gonna be happy, and it's just not gender oriented. | ||
