Tasteless: Good. Very close to excellent tbh, but i had to distinguish him from artosis somehow. Solid casting, very funny but could use some more game knowledge. Also "Tastosis" has like the best chemistry of any caster-team ive ever seen. Kelly: Bad. What she said was not actually bad, but i can not help it if i find her dialect incredibly annoying. Sorry Kelly! :< DOA: Average. Haven't seen too much from this guy, but when ive tuned in to GSL code A hes been OK i suppose. Moletrap: Average. Pretty much the same as above (DOA). | ||

I could understand Kelly's accent, but her voice was not too pleasing to the ears, to understate it. Sometimes she casted with some knowledge of the game, and other times not so much. Not particularly great imo. | ||

She is a girl so you hate her She is foreign so you hate her She *insert stupid here* so you hate her This is the main reasons people have issues with Kelly. Please note I say issues because nobody really hates her, that is just a convenient(but terrible) fallback for you to argue with. She has a heavy accent, it is very noticeable She gets excited and her voice goes up in a high shrieking pitch She has very general and average game knowledge She very often speak in absolutes, she is predicting things wrong based on the information she has yet she will carry on this idea until the cows come home Now don't get me wrong, i am not saying this just so i can bash Kelly, I'm merely pointing out the facts here. I think she could be a great addition to casters if she works on her English and game knowledge. And as far as i know from watching her stream, she is trying to improve and she is even taking English speaking lessons, clearly she is trying and that is great. If there is anything this community needs it's more females taking charge and showing that this is not a male only esport. It is just a bit unfortunate that the first girl to get a big break happened to also have some major flaws that the majority(please see the polls) say cannot be discounted simply because she is female and should "catch a break" for it. All in all, i hope that more girls do casting / pro gaming, it will do wonders for the community as a whole. Moletrap looks like a cuddly little mole, he is adorable how can anyone not love him. Artosis is probably the most passionate guy i have ever heard cast a game of starcraft, bar none. Tasteless is funny, has great play by play and his analytical bits are picking up quite well. He is my favorite caster right now. Doa has a lot to learn i think, his analysis is too often wrong, he too often say the wrong things. But he can only improve, and from watching him do Code A the first time with Kelly, he has noticeably improved. | ||

However... Tasteless is horrible and takes the quality away due to premature GG. Same with Artosis, but he does it to a much smaller, restricted extent. | ||

But I guess that he is just showing his love for the game, so I am not going to fault him for that | ||

 DoA = boring = bad. Moletrap = Excellent. Not that insightful (he sometimes overlooks some things visible on the screen) but extremely entertaining. Plus he is the reason I started reading TeamLiquid this 2 years ago, maybe even more. | ||

The high pitched shriek is what burns my brain. But he does look like a mole, there is no denying that. And i can sorta stand listening to him, because his voice is not horrible. | ||

Kelly was bad or horrible for lack of game knowledge and the voice was terrible DoA I think is average, he doesn't know a lot about the game but enough to be just a caster not a commentator Had to vote horrible for moletrap but maybe he should just be bad. The reason is he often just takes over the cast and his knowledge of the game seems very limited. His voice isn't exactly easy to listen to either, leaving me muting the stream/VoD and playing the terran music and watching for myself. He's not hopeless and can improve, but he seems to be more of a caster rather than a commentator. I'll be looking forward to seeing if Wolf can fill the analytical commentator role that the code a duo lacks. | ||

You mean: " Moletrap is the guy who reads all the stats." I noticed that his knowledge on players is very poor actually and most of it comes from reading the stats that GSL displays before each match. Calling jookTo a bad player and making fun of him is just one example. People who actually had knowledge on jookTo predicted that he will put up a good fight vs Anypro. | ||

Tasteless reiterates the same basic things so many times that it can get annoying. Artosis early GSL casting was very biased (s1/s2 zerg whine), it still shows with his huge hardon for players like Nestea. Kelly has a very thick accent and shrieks when there's action going down. Moletrap talks over other casters, trying to one-up them. Doa is a bit stiff, needs to loosen up a bit. Day9 had the whole "Aha, mm, aha, yeah." deal going whenever the cocaster was talking back in the early tournaments. I mean, people seem to focus on the bad things when all casters have them. Most of the kinks can be worked out with practise and some work i think. Really dislike people that don't give casters a chance before creating a royal shitstorm. | ||

The "WolfTrap" dynamic was a bit different to what we've seen before and needs time to develop. A great start though, but then that's what you'd expect from a guy who's done a lot of casting before. He's a bit like Tasteless in his style I thought, anyone else think that? | ||

That's not to say I think Tastosis should be removed from their spot as you have to give them props for getting out there and waiting patiently for their time. | ||
