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 don't think GOM will ever fire Kelly, even with so many people on forums flaming her (most of which are way too harsh).
I think Kelly was only going to cast one season anyways. She said in an earlier interview that she was only going to cast in March, and I have a feeling that GOM's decision to have her temporarily on board for the Code A casts was due to most of the other applicants not being able to be in Korea during this Code A tournament.
Moletrap said that he was going to be in Korea for a few weeks starting some time in March, so I wouldn't be surprised if he randomly showed up one day to cast Code A, to the delight of many fans.

My first impressions were not necessarily great, but I do understand that I should take the first impression with a grain of salt. I initially didn't like Kelly but she has warmed up to me quite a bit, just by giving her a chance. 
I just worry about his game knowledge. I felt like Doa + Kelly was very light on the analysis, and although I knew what was going on in the game at that moment, there wasn't a ton of insight as to motivation or what I should be expecting.
I'll certainly continue tuning in though. Keeping an open mind. His voice is definitely great.

He's got a good radio voice.

I'd love Klazart to do Casting for Gom

Its weird. I never had problems with Kelly's accent but to me Both of them together kind of balance each other out. DoA has a very standard "American 70's baseball announcer voice" where Kelly has a think Australlian Accent
Interesting Balance in my opinion.

You've clearly never heard an Australian accent before.
But I have to say the new guy has an amazing voice for the job, and for what part I saw he seemed like a natural. Originally I couldn't imagine liking any other casters as much as Tastosis, but I'm quite keen to see how this works out now.
|
He has qualities of a decent play-by-play caster. I think he will form a pretty good pair with a good analyst. I hope GOMtv replaces Kelly with someone else after this GSL as she is just not an appropriate fit for this job. I found myself straining my ears to understand what she's saying oftentimes and while that's fine in everyday life, she is supposed to be a professional English caster. She may or may not actually have good understanding of the game, but her lack of good enunciation is holding her back.
|
He sounds so monotonous and when he tries to sound excited about something in a game it just sounds so fake.
Also his jokes are just lame. Guy is just so boring to listen to imo.
|
Good voice, keeps the cast rolling, I think he'll improve with experience
|
Good voice and quite funny. Needs a better co-caster though, Kelly keeps letting his jokes fall flat or talks over him before hes done. Game knowledge seems to be lacking though but that can be gained by playing more and just having more experience I guess.
He's no Artosis but much better than Kelly imo.
|
is it just me or Kelly's not "cooperating" with him, or at least much less than with artosis/tasteless?
otherwise I like him and looking forward to hearing him cast with someone else.

I kinda get a slight sense of that, maybe she's comfortable with him yet.

Yeah, I also got this feeling. But who can blame her, He seem like a competitor to her. When He ask something to her she just ignore it, for example the Nuke question of if the TLO vs OGSHyperdub and she just ignore him and talk about something in game, definitely need to work on their synergy.

You can't build up synergy overnight. I mean, Tastosis have been real life friends for ever and commentated some other stuff like WCG 2009 together.

No, I think they're more professional than you give them credit for.

Its ridiculus how little gameknowlege they both have. Watching tastosis is like watching einstein compared to this.

I have noticed that as well, her body language kinda gives it away.

Code A is awkward to watch, that's for sure.
And the games are boring.
