Hmm I would prefer a caster who is at least in diamond and ideally mid to high masters so they cant make more accurate judgements and comments about what the players are doing. Nothing against the guy though, good luck.

Well they pick someone with a CASTING VOICE this time. I think his knowledge of the game is enough, I mean you don't need to attend classes to learn starcraft and he seem know what he is talking about. Hope GOM will buy Kelly a plane ticket soon, wait ill even pay for it LOL

I agree on the voice. He's really easy to listen to. I'm also pleased that he seems to know at least a couple important things to look for (gas timing, tech buildings, etc). Unfortunately, from the few casts I've seen, he doesn't appear to really know what these things mean, just that he should be looking for them.

Anyway, he seems like an alright choice, but I'd like to see someone with more game knowledge. It'll be especially rough if he's casting along with Kelly. Having two descriptive casters and no one providing analysis is a little redundant.

Great voice, decent knowledge. We'll see how he does but I think this looks promising

Doa is awesome, I've cast with him before on The Rush Network. My fellow casting overlord <3

I'm really happy GOM is bringing in some casters for code A that can speak clear English like Doa and Moletrap.

He's from Minnesota where a lot of Swedish people emigrated to US went. So basically Minnesota have a lot of people of Scandinavian ancestry.

My only complaint is that he doesn't seem as exciting as other casters (tasteless khaldor etc.). That said though I think he'll be fine and brings in a nice mix with his smooth voice. Code A will be even more interesting now!

I want this guy to read me bedtime stories. He's got a nice voice! lol. I'll be checking more of his commentaries later--it will be interesting to see how he fairs in GOM

Why, what is his ranking? Do you happen to know?

I voted that I dunno who he is, but after hearing one of the games he casted, I somehow feel his voice sounds familiar. I can't seem to pinpoint who he sounds like though @_@

Never heard of the guy and probably won't listen to him, gotten into the habit of watching the stream muted since the casters are so biased that I find it really distracting during a game.

Just had a look at his channel, loved it. His casting isnt perfect, but it seems promising and his voice does sound really cool for a caster - looking forward to hearing him in the GSL.

@Galaxy77 : I don't mind a guy's ranking as long as you don't "feel" it during his casts. The guy can be gold himself yet have a very good theoretical knowledge of the game and therefore have an ability to comment on higher level plays. Football (soccer) commentators aren't always ex players and most of the ones who were usually were far from the best.

Listened to 10 seconds of one of his casts and he certainly passes in the voice category. I think him and Kelly would still be a disaster though. Him and Moletrap wouldn't be so bad although IMO Moletrap sounds like a 14 year old and his voice bothers me a bit.

Getting new commentators for Code A will make Tastosis better, as they will have more time to play and ladder which is pretty much key to being the top commentators in the world. Artosis actually having korean ladder metagame knowledge is far more interesting than having a good voice (he is blessed with both luckily).

This guy sounds great and seems to have a pretty good understanding of the game. I just don't know how he will fair with Kelly (not that she's bad, just don't see them mixing well).

Best casters, beside Tasteless and Artosis in my personal opinion are: Day[9], TotalBiscuit, Rotterdam, Chill.

Khaldor and DJ Wheat are still ok but the above are the best
