How the hell are you confused? A person's voice is by far the most important aspect of an occupation that involves talking for 2 hours straight. I mean seriously, would you want to listen to an emphysemic 90 year old woman who learned English 5 years ago even if she happened to have triple the Starcraft related insight of Day[9] and Artosis put together? I wouldn't mind reading about what she had to say but listening to her for entertainment? Be honest with yourself.
If you wouldn't listen to this you're crazy.

I find Erik to be a much better caster than Artosis. I would love for Erik and to be one the casters of Code S.
you don't care about game analysis?
don't get me wrong I think erik is a fine caster, but in terms of game knowledge he doesn't even come close to artosis

They should grab a relatively high level player to cast with Doa, that'd be nice. I don't really mind Kelly, I just think there should be someone who can lay down some real knowledge casting with either and I happen to like Doa more than her.
Wish Psy could come over to Korea and cast. Good caster and a surprisingly good player.

Judging from the first vod of him he acted and talked kinda like Artosis (in the beginning). I guess he was OK, way better than Kelly and it seems that English is actually his mother tongue.

Big part why I enjoyed watching GSL was Tasteless and Artosis and now when they are gone I'm noticing that I'm slowly losing interest in games. I still watched Losira vs HuK, but it's mostly because there was a foreigner involved. I don't really have that urge to watch the other games. I don't even really know why this is. I'm sure I will watch the good games and games with foreigners but I guess Tasteless and Artosis was a big part why I enjoyed GSL so much  Doa did a great job, it's not his fault. Maybe this just needs time to grow on me. I'm sorry I don't have any specific way them to fix this but best I can think of his get more loose. Tasteless and Artosis had that fun factor with them that even bad and boring games were watchable.
this is so true, but what can u do? the world keeps spinning^^
i just hope tastosis will be casting for long as possible TOGETHER

Doa seems pretty good. I thought he did extremely well for his first time.
I only watched the Huk games though - I really don't like Kelly's casting. Her game knowledge is too weak to justify her grating casting voice. Though I am Asian-American myself, I her accent thick to the point of parody. I would like to be supportive, but I would rather see her gone. I don't blame her, but rather the person who hired her (if that's any consolation).
|
He seemed to do a great job, good solid voice, I have no issues at all with kellys casting, although many people seem to jump on that hatewagon.
I'm completely content with these two casting together. But as more and more foreigners drop out and leave Korea, I'll be finding myself only watching code S anyways.
|
Kelly is alright, I love her casting, but I really can't stand Doa. '3 times 150 minerals is ... I can't add 150 three times (not multiply) I come from a liberal arts major ...' Quick somebody gag him.
|
I know I'm getting flammed and probably banned for this but I can't watch code A any more because of kelly. I tried watching HuK play last night but her voice really annoys me. I know how bad that sounds and I understand and acknowledge the fact that she has a really strong understanding of the game and its mechanics but I will rip off my ears if I hear her cast again.
|
He's good for play-by-play. Wouldn't mind at all if he stays on for that role. He needs an Artosis or equivalent think-tank beside him though to lay down the analysis and facts. Some nerd jokes wouldn't hurt either. Him and Kelly together just makes the in-game casting very uninformative and uninteresting. Sure, it's kind of an unfair comparison as Artosis is the best at what he does, but something like TLO at IEM or Demuslim/Hasu at the Homestory cups. Basically, instead of Kelly, a high level player that knows his shit and isn't afraid to tell it like it is. That would be ideal.
|
So watching last nights matches, I actually enjoyed him and kelly together, sure they don't have the same flow that kelly and tasteless had together, but that will come. Although he doesn't seem to have the extreme game knowledge that artosis has his voice has a very nice flow to it and he seems to reasonably understand what he's saying. All in all it's probably to early to tell, but I think he'll turn out being pretty good.
|
He is doing a great job, he is very natural. Good choice from Gom.
|
Guy has a pretty nice voice but not very exciting. Being a humanities major I find it hard to believe he couldn't add 150 three times... but it could have been nerves.
|
Once again people shouldn't be so quick to judge casters. This was his first day so it doesn't count anyway. Wait until he's done this a couple of times and then talk about his game knowledge or lack thereof and how good or bad he is compared to Kelly, Artosis or Tasteless.
To the people complaining about him emulating Tasteosis: Of course he does. So does Kelly. He's sitting there on his first day in front of cameras and a huge audience and he'll obviously stick to what he knows, what people know and what has proven to be a reliable way of casting. If he has a style of his own it'll show sooner or later once he doesn't need this crutch any longer. If he doesn't have a style of his own and indeed is just copying our beloved Archon then the community may judge and Gom could eventually react. Again, we'll see about that after he's done a few cast and made himself comfortable doing it.
And the inevitable comparison with Kelly: Well ... it's hard. The debate about Kelly has been quite a heated one for various reasons. I won't talk about casting skills in general because both are lacking compared to Tasteosis, and that comparison unfair for obvious reasons.Kelly's voice, however clearly loses to Doa's. I got used to Kelly after a few casts and didn't have that much of an issue with her pronounciation, but Doa's smooth voice once again made it obvious how difficult it is at times to follow Kelly.

going to have to agree with you there, neither him or kelly fill the role artosis gives in the GSL
they hired 2 tasteless' and 0 artosis'

Sounds good, don't know about his game experience, but right away I can understand everything he says = better pick up from Gom.

150+150+150 = 150*3
I didn't watch any of Doa's casts before today, but I think he's pretty good. Especially with Kelly, the two of them go really well together in my opinion. Kelly has a lot more game analysis knowledge than a lot of people realize, partly because that role was more left to Tasteless and Artosis when they would cast with her. Now with her and Doa together they should each be able to shine.
|
I actually really liked him. He seemed nervsous but who wouldnt be. I wish our new Code A team the best of luck.
|
I'm impressed with how comfortable doa was for it being his first day of casting. I think doa and Kelly will get some good synergy given some time. I doubt they will be able to match Tastosis, but then again who can? ^^
