Tasteless + Artosis > Any other casting combo ever. I'm not even watching the GSTL because it's done by bad commentators.

All i remember of one doa + moletrap cast is that a very intense battle was going on and one of them just screamed some loud, voicecracking and not unterstandable crap. This riuned the game for me completely, since then i have never watched them again.

Does anyone happen to know why Tastosis has taken the backseat for the GSTL and let Doa and Moletrap cast the whole thing? I miss Tastosis so much!

Tastosis both = 10/10 excellent
Doa = 7.5/10 better than average
Moletrap = 4/10 pretty exciting commentator just does not work well with others all in all pretty bad for GSL.

Reflected my thoughts, It sort of takes away from the cast if you can barely understand the caster T_T.

Kelly's game analysis is pretty good. I think people rate her wrongly because of her english/voice.

Tastosis is amazing simply put. To be honest i just cant understand Kelly a lot of the time and it means i don't get anything from her at all. Doa and Moletrap have their moments but to be honest i don't like their style at all and in fact have hardly watched GSTL or only watched it on mute because of this. Each to their own of course.

Artosis is an all round good caster
I have a personal distaste for tasteless (lol?)
He doesn't really add much to the casts and has a particularly dry sense of humour
Kelly, sorry girl you dont know enough about the game to get casting a top tournament like the GSL
Doa is a fairly average caster, knows what he is talking about some what, however he doesn't really give me as much inspiration as Artosis does
Moletrap, again is a very average caster

Not really, they rate her poorly because the option is "Horrible (takes away from the game)" Many people out there, me included, rely on casters being accurate and knowledgeable about the game. When you get a caster like Kelly slurring words and showing poor general knowledge, it really does take away from the game. I think she could be good, but right now she is not even close to ready for prime time.

I also don't understand how the "defense" of "they just don't like her voice/accent" is a valid retort when her voice and accent are extremely different from, well, every other caster that is in those leagues. (And not in a good way)

Casters rely on their voice being pleasing and non-intrusive in most cases to relay the information they know. You have to think about the big picture here, they need to capture a vast range of players. If you only attract a small niche then you just aren't the right choice for the task.

Really like Doa better than Moletrap, got a nicer voice and is not screaming.

I personally think that if you watch for the commentary instead of watching for the game, you're watching the wrong stuff. Go watch a comedian or something.

The GSTL has superawesome games, way better than normal GSL.

I agree, saying she's got good game knowledge like it's the only required skill for a caster is pretty flawed. She could have Artosis level analysis and i would still cringe att the slurry pronounciation and the shrieking whenever something interesting happens ingame.

Well that point kind of glosses over her often making bad calls and showing poor game knowledge in the first place.

Plus Singaporeans aren't huge fans either, so if some people 'just aren't fans of her accent'... then who is?

Yeah, tasteless is there to keep artosis down to earth.. but they are really the best combo out there at the moment imo, always loved moletrap vods back on BW, maybe i even like his solos better then his duos with Doa, not that i hate doa but i dunno...

.I think Moletrap and diggity could be GREAT !
maybe put moletrap with incontrol, or even chill... that would be some good laughs.

Tasteless and Artosis are the only commentators so far that are suitable for commentating competitions of GSL level.

Others are just not in that category at all. As I said in the other thread, GOM just didn't take this issue seriously enough - their selection of backup commentators makes as much sense as inviting a Diamond player into Code S.

I would try getting Apollo and/or Painuser.
