People really did complain WAY toooooo much. kinda feel the same way here. though I spent a few months in singapore listening to singlish, so maybe others can't parse her accent as well =/ | ||

Wolf joined FXO after that so I don't know if it really means something but still , you may wanna include that to your theory. I'm 99% sure Wolf was saying just wait about getting signed to FXO. | ||

Some of you really need to learn the history of Esports and know how lucky you are that there are more and more English speaking casters out there. I not loving this new Generation. There is a percentage of this generation that seem to think they are ENTITLED to everything. A lot of us watched Streams/Vods with Korean cast. Learn to appreciate what you have. If people "appreciated what they had" all the time, we'd still be living in caves eating raw snake for dinner. Striving for perfection and trying to achieve dreams is one of the defining characteristics of being human, why stop just "because it's e-sports"? Personally I want e-sports to keep getting bigger and better, not rest on its laurels and coast from now on. | ||

Indians speak perfect English grammatically, but would you accept an Indian caster with a thick Indian accent? | ||

Things that Kelly should improve on if she wants a better reception: 1. Practice your american or english accent. Plenty of actors have to do this to get better paying acting jobs in America. I am assuming, based on the comments I've heard in this forum and at GSL's forum, that a large percentage of the foreign viewers for GSL prefer american and english accents, someone correct me if I'm wrong here. 2. Improve your humor, you have to be funny when there's nothing going on (like in between matches, or when both players are macroing up) . There's been many occasions in which Artosis was working hard on keeping the casts interesting, coming up with great jokes, and he'd look at Kelly for help and she's either looking down at a paper or nodding her head at him. 3. Don't apologize profusely, it's very annoying when someone continues to apologize when they've already received forgiveness. A recent example was the first day Doa casted with Kelly, it was during a game in Shakuras and she interrupted him and then kept saying sorry for the next several minutes. Thankfully Doa handled that situation like an expert. You're supposed to say sorry once, that's it. | ||

I have talked English on skype etc. numerous times and needed to fully concentrate to understand what she was saying and it was really hindering the watching experience. This is a great point. I always thought she was easily understandable, but I am native born english speaker, i would imagine being non-native english would make it quite difficult | ||

It just wasn't made public by GOM until now. Edit: the video's date probably means that Kelly was never hired to cast Code A indefinitely. But the video doesn't establish that GOM had in place a formal caster trial system from the start. | ||

The fact of the matter is that I'm paying for my gom.tv pass and when I can't understand/stand the voice of a person casting matches that I really want to see I feel as if my money isn't well spent and I should just wait for someone on TL to post the match updates. I have great respect for her as a person but I do not think she should pursue a career as an English commentator. | ||

The funny part is that you can't see that I asked him a question on your native language. Also, Singapore speak english so I don't see how she has to learn new language lol. Obviously English is not your first language because what you did is the equivalent of calling someone dumb. I assumed the expression went across languages, but alas, what do I know. | ||
