Hadn't heard of this guy before, but after watching a cast or two of his, there is a lot of quality there. Great voice, calm style very entertaining. May not have the knowledge that some pro-gamer casters have, but then again, most pro-gamer casters don't speak half as well as this guy.

I think he'll do well.

Fantastic voice, my god. Like Tasteless before all the cigarettes.

Yes, that is a great voice.

I'll have to watch a few more casts of his to properly judge his game knowledge, but the voice is already a big plus.

Hadn't heard this fellow before, but from the vod's posted he ought to do alright. Voice is fine at least, now it's a matter of is he fact or funny or both? All the best to him.

Just watched a couple of code A games. I think the new casting duo is good. Doa is good..

I just wish Kelly would stop calling protoss ground upgrades, gateway units upgrades

DoA sounded awesome, especially for his 1st time. I want to see him with tasteless or artosis

I don't know if it was because he was casting with Kelly, something they haven't done before, but it was kind of boring to listen to the games he casted. No jokes or intereseting tid-bits given, really.

That, more than likely, will come with time and the development of the relationships to his co-casters, as Tasteless and Artosis have been together for so long.

I think he could be pretty good in the future.

Never heard this guy till last night. Gotta say, was pleasently surprised. Unlike the kelly trainwreck. Now we just gotta get someone to replace her (lil'susie anyone?)

Him + Moletrap would be a nice combo that I would like to listen to, hopefully they do that at some point.

i agree with most of the comments regarding his calm voice. but i think he does need some casting training from Tastosis. Putting 2 rookies together so early isn't the best idea. I think they should've gotten Artosis to train up Kelly abit more before they find a new guy. Now Kelly might not improve as fast without the Casting Archon by her side.

He actually is right now (I don't know his KR account off hand). And he's got this cool month inbetween GSL's that he said he's going to take advantage of and ladder a ton.

That's awesome, glad to hear it. Maybe he can convince Artosis or the Liquid guys to give him tips.

Very good caster based off just the first day. I had an impression Kelly had an elitist attitude towards him since he was new, which is too bad because his game knowledge is leaps and bounds ahead of hers.

Remember it was the first time apperance. I think he did rly great and it was good that he diden't try to analysis too much as it was his first time commentating GSL. He was probably nervous and when he overcomes that he can start to take more space, show his personality and start to analysis more!

I totally agree to this, I felt like it was this way too. (BTW, anyone that has played HoN that can read Leaps and bounds ahead w/o valk voice? T_T)

i was really impressed, after not hearing about this guy before i thought he did really well, especially concidering this is his first big casting gig. Now he just needs a good co-caster.

Oh wow, what an excellent voice and perfect annunciation. I like him already ^^
He has fun with the commentary and doesn't speed up too much and start eating words. Great choice by Gom! The only thing I would like is an occasional second break between sentences. (EDIT: But then again, I only listened to a solo-cast, with a co-caster this won't be an issue. Also, him casting with Kelly I imagine will only serve as a foil and make her English sound worse <__< )

Thank you Gom for this one, fantastic choice!
