People have higher expectations now and prefer white guys it seems. There's koreans that can cast in perfect english. I guess Gom rather have the viewers choose than just find someone they like.

I just listened to that SDM, who supposedly got a worse accent than Kelly. He doesn't. Next to that, he has a low voice, not incredibly high-pitched and I think annoying as Kelly's. I think Kelly knew a lot about the game, but she's not good as a caster.

I thought the accent was ok but am happy to see her go. Cute girls are awesome for TV, but that's just not why people watch Starcraft. My main issue was just how little she seems to know about the game and how many other casters there are out there that are easier to understand. Maybe if she improved a lot and came back that would be fine, but as of now this is great for the GSL.

Secondly, she lacks the interpersonal skills or proficiency of the English language to interact with her co-caster synergistically. Oftentimes, she has disregarded a conversion started by her co-caster and proceeded to say something completely irrelevant. It leaves her co-caster hanging and makes for awkward transitions and moments. In that way, she does not provide support for her co-caster in the manner that Artosis and Tasteless often do, saving each other from awkward silences due to overly lame jokes or completely off-topic statements. Her deficiency is not due to a lack of time to gel with DoA, as DoA does his workload of the "gelling" fine enough. Crucially, her mistakes are often very basic. She oftentimes ignores what DoA (or Artosis or Tasteless) has said and just recites a line that she had clearly conjured while her co-caster was trying to dialogue with her. This is commentary symbiosis 101. In fact, it is also plain good manners.



Thank you for arguing my point better than I could. I was beginning to think I was the only one that noticed that her ability to listen and engage in actual dialogue was pretty poor.

To be honest, I think this critical flaw would be more apparent if she looked less like a cute girl and more like Husky or HD.

He was a coach for a BW pro team (don't remember which one), which he stopped doing to cast for GOM, so he was/is very knolwedgable. Not a fan of SC2 though...

Okay, look.

She's a nice girl, a nice person. GOMtv is a Professional Organization. Okay, we got that out of the way.

Look, it is not a "Rexus", or a "Lexus", but a NEXUS. It's not a "Race-Car" or a "Herron", but a HELLION. Paying customers should NOT have to perform real-time translation while watching a match. Its that simple. I was one of those rooting for Kelly, but come on people, yesterday was worse than ever. With her determination, she will do fine in other ventures, but casting isnt her gig. It just isnt. That is not sexist or racist, or anything accept fact.

I wish her well, and I wish GOM had the foresight to have not divided the community in this way in the first place.

I liked Kelly, she was enthusiastic, and her accent really wasn't too bad. I've had lecturer's way worse.

There are a ton of nasty comments related to this thread, I am surprised it didn't get shut down.

I for one am glad that she is leaving GOM as it obviously didn't work out. I wasted far too much time trying to decipher what she was saying that I was missing all of the action happening at the time.

That being said she is not getting fired as she was never hired on permanently, GOM is just trying out different casters for Code A and getting a feel for them and how the community reacts to them to get an idea of who they should keep, so keep supporting the Casters for Code A that you enjoy on GOM's forums and keep providing our feedback for the Casters that you do not like but in a professional manner.

Should work itself out.

If your job is to communicate in real-time with a large audience, you might want to stick to speaking to an audience in your native language.

I'm not harping on her accent; English is a hard language to master if it isn't your first... but I wouldn't try to provide commentary for things in French when I only have a very rusty basic ability to speak the language. Why should the rest of the world feel obligated to do that very thing when it's English?
"power overwhelming"... work, dammit, work!

Did you hate Tasteless for calling Ursadon "Panda bear guy?" Because when it's an American Male they can be as cute as they like, right?

lol yeah, you have to be fair - casters are allowed to nickname units.

Although it's usually better when an established caster does it, because the audience isn't new to them in general.

People who compare Kelly to SDM are grasping at straws. SDM's english wasn't top tier but he didn't shriek when the action started to get heavy. The worst part of the last code A matches has been the monotone high pitch screaming from Kelly whenever there is something epic going down.
