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. When kelly already ruined your season ticket, you could accept any decent caster. The good casting archon would be a HT + DT HT : Makes a psionic stoms of houha ha , wow, damn, … Husky would be okay for this. DT : A stealth killer of sc2, who knows everything about the game. Idealy he is a programmer with nice personality like Incontrol | ||

Great addition non the less. | ||

Cons: Lacks excitement, less in-depth knowledge of player backgrounds or the game itself, lack of a striking personality. I think this guy can work well with any kind of caster. What I like is how he can talk, pause, talk - and every pause Kelly can come in and it's smooth (without sounding like she is interrupting him) but if Kelly didn't say anything on the pause, it sounded like he paused for effect. Not an easy ability for a caster to have. His voice lacks excitement and he comes off a more neutral caster, but that might not be a con :D -- it might actually be a strength since he comes off as instantly complementary to any type of caster that comes his way. GSL comes on when I'm at work, so I wouldn't want anything OTT with commentators that are screaming their heads off, unless something happened that was totally amazing. He complemented Kelly well, it was quite pleasant to listen to. In short, I like him, a lot! | ||

He said that he would be going to Korea sometime this month and staying there for a few weeks, and according to a post from one of Doa's friends (probably in this thread), GOM has yet to make a final decision about casters until they're done with an extensive evaluation. It seems that Doa's recent casting with Code A is just part of GOM's evaluation process, and considering that Moletrap said that he's staying for a few weeks in Korea, I wouldn't be surprised if he randomly shows up one day to cast Code A. | ||

I am one of those that immediately didn't like Kelly because of her voice/accent while speaking English. The only way I can describe it is that while I can understand her, I feel like I'm constantly decoding morse code. I just don't want to do that while I'm trying to relax and just watch some good games. It'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..... 100% agree with everything. Great job Erik. | ||
