Kelly just doesn't speak proper English. Why should anyone who doesn't use English as their 1st language cast for those who do?

I think that's a little far, mate.

Not much to be confused about, just a TL user wondering what TL thinks of each caster through the polls. You can tell if someone is from GOM from their logo beside there name generally or they will just state it beforehand.

thanks ... I guess confused wasn't the correct word just more curious than anything

I enjoy watching Tastosis. They make watching fun, though lately I would like Artosis to focus a bit more on analysis, but only because he is very good at it.

DOA I did not like at first, but he's grown on me. He's a little bland but steady and he's improving. He just needs to find his own style.

Kelly I liked, though I can see why people may have problems understanding her. I work with a lot of people in Asia and didn't have a problem with her accent. Her enthusiasm about the game was notable and she did her homework on the players which is something I wish DOA and Moletrap would work on more.

Moletrap. Man, I really want to like him, but I just can't. His jokes are painful and not in the good way that Tasteless' are and he talks over DOA constantly. Not good. I could not watch the last games of Code A in May, it was just too much. I'll give him another chance, but by the end of the season it was just getting worse for me.

Overall, the casting has been top-notch and I'm sure that over time the chemistry between the casters will continue to improve so it's not a deal-breaker for me.

I don't understand the hate for Moletrap. He actually understands the game unlike Kelly and Doa. Kelly has an annoying voice, and Doa keeps trying(and failing) to be tastosis.

Tastosis for the win. But of those two I thnk Artosis being the leading force.

just throwing my opinion in, sorry if the sentiments have previously been expressed as i skimmed the previous 18 pages. Tastosis has been together for years, as far back as i can remember/google around 2008, and they have chemistry between them because of this. Especially since the onset of the GSL they've had to do it daily at points, what everyone seems to forget is that Doa and Moletrap have been casting together for just over a month so of course they havent created the chemistry that Tastosis has. Even if you look at Gretorp and iNcontrol they are in the same situation, and only time will make transitions and the dead space between games go more smoothly. Its unfair to compare Tastosis and Doatrap head to head at the moment in terms of chemistry, the right thing to do is give Doatrap constructive comments that will improve their casting, of course if you hate one of their voices then they cant really change that as much as some may wish. Either way im just happy we have an english stream and the ability to watch these great matches regardless of the caster and i'll continue to chip in money to watch

Honestly All other casters fail to compare to tasteless and Artosis, I have zero interest in code A/ any other tournament because simple play by play casting is boring and obvious (IMO) Tasteless and Artosis not only give me the play by play but they keep me laughing and engaged on their words as well as teach me why ppl are doing what and not simply telling me that they got it.

Tasteless showed me how to play and improve on BW and let me climb the Iccup ladder and now he is back with Artosis literally giving explanations on builds that give me trouble in master league.
If Gom replaced them they would lose 1 viewer.

I mostly enjoy tastosis because they are not really "nerds", they are handsome nerd ballers. Tasteless is a true nerd who knows about games and such, but he shows off as a person whos cool and strays away from the stereotypical "nerd". I also heard he knows how to party hard. When you hear moletrap, it just sounds nerdy to anyone new to video game casting. When you hear tasteless, you just gayfortastless

I really don't understand how people can find a guy who's both a nerd and a heavy party guy so frigging cool. He's fun but the amount of hype and pure adoration from fanboys sometimes freak me out.

Ah, the art of being a fan my man. If idra asked me to jump off a bridge I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I find myself really hating DoAtrap lately. It's not really logical, they're not bad casters by any stretch, but it just feels as if they've robbed me of the awesomeness that is the GSTL cast by Tastosis.
So now every horribly bad joke by Moletrap or stupid call by Doa just pisses me off that much more.

Sorry you guys, you probably don't deserve the hate but I can't help it.

Your statistic provides far more valuable insight than this poll could ever wish for.

tastosis is great. maybe it's just, that I'm used to them, but their commentary is simply the best (out of the GSL casters at least).

artosis really knows the theory behind pretty much everything.
tasteless has a lot of experience casting and is well rounded commentator.

but please... cut down on the gay and nerd stuff. that's just weird and embarrassing.
I kind of miss the jokes tasteless did in back in the days. gom TV classic etc. there were way more awesome metaphors, statements and overall jokes. And it seems like he did something with his voice^^

kelly. sorry, but I just hated the voice and the accent. she said in an interview, that she could do a LOT of accents. the why the hell did she always talk in that weird high pitched, sqeaging asian accent. and not the cute kind of accent, the I wanna stuff my ears with wax kind of accent.

doa is ok. good voice, no crap and a decent amount of knowledge.
i disliked moletrap so far, but that's just personal preference. so I voted average.
