Hopefully with the addition of this (just fine and dandy) new caster, GOM will realize TL isn't just railing against change from Tasteosis. The majority of us have a legitimate problem with another caster.

He did a fine job for his first time. He can only get better from this point going forward.

He is an awesome caster, nothing negative to say at all. Its strange how he is unheard of, seems like he has been casting a long time.

Erik is great, but he replaced the wrong commentator.

This is hugely relevant to the caster decision. It's John's Q&A about Code A Casters.

So the rumors that Kelly will be leaving after this season might be true in a sense, but she probably is not fired as of yet. I'm going to guess that moletrap or some other individuals are also going to be sent to 'test out'.

I voted before I watched him. After watching him I think hes really good.

I think him and Kelly make the mini-Archon

I was confused by the lack of tastosis, they really make gomtv great imo. I didn't know they were only doing code S, that's cool I guess

Not sure if this has been addressed already, but with Tastosis doing Code S and new casters for Code A, who will cast the Up/Down matches?

Personally, this new caster seems good at first. His voice is great to listen to. But IMO seeing him cast for the first time, I got the sense that he didn't know that much about the game. This might just be due to the fact that Kelly was assigned to be the analytical caster and he was just 'play by play', but I never heard him say any analytical statement about the game that wasn't blatantly obvious. Somehow, I got the feeling that his game understanding is not that in-depth..... yet. I hope he proves me wrong during the next days of Code A!

For me, I can tolerate the voice quality (or even the accent- even though this doesn't bother me at all right now) just as long as the casters are informative and offer good analysis of the game. What really annoys me is when they just always state the obvious and offer no analysis whatsoever. Just my 2 cents...

Tastosis is just more entertaining.. theyre funnier and seem to know starcraft better. Gotta love the running jokes they throw out

I think he did very well on his first day casting GSL. We can't really understand how it feels to be put in front of a camera during a global broadcast. Considering the pressure + nerves he did a great job and it should only improve from here. I really wonder what GOM has planned for future GSLs. I suppose Tastosis will have dibs indefinitely on Code-S but we'll have to wait and see how and if they cycle casters for Code-A casting.

not for me

great voice, he seems to know enough about the game and probably be more comfortable with time and show some more enthusiasm

but still kellys there so its code A with music, code S with awesomeness sponsored by testosis

This is the main point. He's great but it's only just about enough to carry the duo.
