Tasteless is good and very funny. Kelly is average, I just cant understand alat she says. Doa is average, pretty normal guy. Moletrap is horrible, I literally have to mute the stream if I want to watch code a, screams like a little girl hrrrrr. But I must say moletrap can be a good solo caster but with doa it just doesnt cut it. | ||

2. Tasteless - Good. Honestly, he's not that great by himself, but when paired with Artosis, their chemistry bumps him up to excellent. He sometimes goes off in really awkward tangents, but most of times sets up great dialogue between the casters. 3. Kelly - Horrible. Nothing against her casting content, but the accent is both distracting and grating. 4. Moletrap - Good. Great excitement, won me over with the whole 'the nuke is going to drop on his armeeeeee' bit. 5. DOA - Average. The two needs better chemistry between them and pick up each other's cues. | ||

The only reason Artosis is such a good caster is because Tasteless enables him to take the analytical side of the discussion most of the time. There needs to be an interchange between the two casters for things to line up truly well and Tasteless sets himself up as a platform for Artosis to stand on. Likewise, Artosis sets Tasteless up for some very humerous moments. Lots of give and take between those two, but I would actually have to rate Tasteless higher than Artosis, both are excellent though. | ||

DoA/Moletrap aren't the greatest at analysing, but their random banter is quite entertaining if you don't take it too seriously. Same here. I tried watching that season's Code A, sincerely, but it was just impossible for me. On top of that, she later admits she actually think's she was excellent and puts all the guilt on external factors (mainly, she pulls the racism & sexism card to belittle her shortcomings). That just made me lose any respect I had gained for her after noticing her great effort. Ah well, at least it's fairly certain she'll never get called back. I hope. | ||

I think people are right when they say that Tasteless isn't all that great as a actual caster. He is awesome for the fun he brings but i feel that Artosis more or less brings 99% of the pure analytical sense in the duo. | ||

I have a dream that Tasteless will be as awesome as he was in the BW days :S Although that is quite the expectations for even a nerd god :S I love him anyways, I think he brings comic relief to the cast and knows when to let Artosis analyse and when to do Play-by-Play. TBH they are the best. Only team that comes close is a sort of mix between Day9's knowledge and charisma and Djwheat's professionalism and awesomeness. d9/dj are great and there are a few others like diggity and what not who do well too. But lets face it, Tastosis are on the biggest stage | ||

Tip to doa: Please be yourself and create your own style of casting, don't ape someone else! | ||

 But, it makes sense to give them a break with code A and team league and I have been mostly OK with whoever else they've had cast when Tasteosis doesn't. It was only after Tasteosis stopped casting some events I realized a large portion of why I watch the GSL is for them. | ||

Pretty sure most of us non native speakings understood her perfectly... and lets be honest, if to get better a language thats not your native, want to know whats the only solution? Practice it... Tbh, there are more native english casters who annoy the crap out of me and make me want to go off streams then kelly... Yet those casters are seen as great casters by the native one's! Now explain that to me.... Greetings Drakey Dear Drakey This is a forum, not the 17th century, everyone can read your name above the post since every post is signed with your account name; Drakey. I'm swedish, I speak english fluently without any accent or problem and I feel anger at any swede who does not do the same because it's such an obvious flaw and easily removed. It's not like it's a speech impediment, people just need to arse themselves to pronounce the godamn words right. I'm not saying nobody understands her, sometimes not but mostly yeah we do, it's just horrendous to hear her call stim "steeeaam" or push "pooosh". Yeah practice it, she can do that outside the major tournaments that I fucking pay to watch. GSL is not a godamn training yard for casters. Why does one exclude the other? Does me saying kelly is a bad caster make every other caster good? Ofcourse not, stop having the roundabound arguments: There are other equally horrid or worse casters, but they're not usually on the major tournaments and there is great reason for that. Also you didn't name a single caster that the "native" english speakers find great but annoy the hell out of you so what the hell are we suppose to explain to you?... Your dearest penpall, Krehlmar | ||

ie Artosis is very good caster but together with Tasteless is excellent I'd much rather vote on duos than just 1 person | ||

Same goes for DoA and Moletrap. I feel like they miss some events from time to time, but for the most part are always on top of things. Certainly an entertaining casting duo. I remember listening to some of Moletrap's broodwar commentaries on youtube, which struck me as terrible, but I think he has improved greatly and I actually enjoy him. I don't remember with whom Kelly was casting but for some reason she didn't manage to grab me with her casting. She is simply not my taste. Evaluating them individually is harder but for me it would be something like this: Artosis>DoA>=Tasteless>Moletrap>>>Kelly | ||

You don't see this between Artosis and Tasteless, because Tasteless doesn't try to have opinions, he lets Artosis do the analytics of the game... Tasteless provides Artosis the opportunity to do so. DOA and moletrap tries to one up each other... and I can sense how moletrap hates it. To me this is annoying. Both can't be humble enough to facilitate each other. When Doa opines, Moletrap just shoots it down, vice versa. Both of them are trying to do the same thing while Tasteless and Artosis comfortably snuggles each to their own role that's synergistic. | ||

I perceive the exact opposite actually. I feel like they don't disagree with oneother enough. Especially, when both try to comment on a certain situation, DoA often times gives in to Moletrap's evaluation of the situation even though it is obvisouly wrong. I feel like DoA doesn't want to contradict Moletrap too often in order not to be rude (even though he would be perfectly right to do so). I completely agree with your assessment of Tastosis though ^^ | ||
