Agreed, Tastosis are excellent, particularly together.. not sure how they would go individually. Doa is okay, his analysis is reasonable but he makes a few mistakes.. and his reading of the game play is pretty accurate. Kelly, i must admit i haven't seen very much, but its good to see a woman in this male dominated industry she is pretty decent at casting... Moletrap however.. I dislike, he always cuts DoA off mid sentence, doesn't get DoA's jokes and makes the relationship between them awkward. Moletrap has zero analytical ability and makes a ton of mistakes.. sure he's a hype caster.. but he's not the best, when you consider this is the Premier international league, one would expect the premier of casters/commentators. You wouldn't see a substandard commentator at Super Bowl of World cup, why at GSL? basically, DOA is okay, Moletrap is pretty horrible and I expect better for the level of play that they are casting, surely there are better casters available?!

DoA and moletrap are great...but not together. Seems moletrap just acts like a dck to him sometimes with snide remarks or ignoring comments. I like them both but not together.

Artosis and Tasteless, best. Nothing else needs to be said.

Kelly = horrible. Throw away the fact she's a female and she would never even be given a chance. She might have some knowledge but her accent takes away from the quality of the cast.

Artosis is the shining light, even when I get annoyed with the "best I have ever seen" stuff from time to time.
Tasteless on fire is extremely quality entertainement that I wouldn't want to miss out on, but I think he has too many periods where he isn't "on". Watching him since 2008, sometimes it's genius and othertimes it's just plain bad.

The rest is doing a pretty good job in my opinion, though the difference between them and the best casters in the business is just too big for me to go higher then average. I really don't think that GOM has had a really bad caster in SC2 thus far.

Very interesting poll although the results are pretty expected. Artosis definitely is the best caster in my opinion as well and nice to see it in the poll too.

Not a huge fan of Doa personally. I can't really put my finger on it, but when someone like tasteless makes a stupid joke I usually end up laughing, but when Doa does it just seems painfully awkward.

Moletraps voice took a little getting used to, but overall I like him.

Don't get me wrong, Moletrap is good, but man i can't listen to him for more than few games in a row. He has nice energy but he cuts DOA off aaallllllll the time it's really annoying and I don't find him very funny either overall. I think I would like kelly over him to be honest, because she got along with everyone. DOA and moletrap are not working very well together.
Try another route paperboy.

I like Tasteosis....I also really didn't have a major problem with Kelly, I felt she needed some improvement, but she didn't do bad.
Who is this guy? ^

Nothing against Kelly, but I feel like as an English native speaker I want to hear casters/commentators that are fluent in English.(Nothing against her ability to speak the language) As in that is their primary language because they are better at articulating the action quickly in a good fashion while adding their own flavor with jokes, etc. ex. Tasteless taking those nerds ladder points!!

DOA and moletrap are good just it's just that I feel that there is some tension there behind the scenes it succulents to my screen and it makes me feel uncomfortable. On a side note I don't like moletrap's voice that much.

i wish NukeTheStars and/or KlaZart would be casters for GSL, that would be the most awesome thing ever and i would most likely vote them even over Tastosiss

Moletrap and Doa just more talk about whats going on, and not giving much insight on the game. While Tasteless and Artosis talk some about what we can see going on much go much more in depth. IMO making them wayy better casters. For me they help me alot with my gameplay.

Sorry I dont see the sense in making these polls.
You said you "just want to gauge opinions" well what for?
We all know Tastosis are unbeatable and that lots of people had problems with Kelly, so nothing new in that perspective. The only thing that will happen here is that just like before people will go nuts and start flaming all over the place.

Artosis: Excellent, good anylitical with subtle jokes

Tastelss: Average, he lost whatever he had during the golden days of his GomTV classic casting for some reason I do not understand.(Perhaps its the lack of Pandabearguy).

Together they are the best though.

Kelly: I didn't watch GSL code A back then cause I was busy, only S so I can't comment on this.

DOA: Average, nothing impressive but certainly not bad. Is rather akward with moletrap.

Moletrap: Good, he knows what he is talking about and really brings passion and excitement.

Only flaw is that he is a tad weirded out with DoA.

Very interesting polls. Curious how most people see the casters. Tastless+Artosis are perfect, Tastless alone isn´t my favourite but nonetheless very good (entertaining).
More a fan of Moletrap than doa but both are quite good, they seem to lack a bit chemistry.
Kelly was ok for me, sometimes hard to understand but not so much as many people make it sound (imo!)

Tastosis: someone above may have said better than me. irreplaceable
Kelly : dislike her at 1st but get used to over the time, her knowledge is pretty good
DOA : I like his voice, his dry humor, overall good analysis, but get overshadowed by his partners
Moletrap: annoying voice and fake emotion, 90% of his reference was wrong (watch GSTL)

Plz bring back Tastosis for GSTL final and Super GSL. Doletrap is going worse and worse and worse.

Many people should learn english before criticizing greate casters like the 5 gom casters.

The only reason I put bad for Kelly was because it is just so hard to understand it. I have a large enough issue understanding anyone with a reasonable accent, and she just makes it unbearable for me (may have something to do with my slightly hearing deficiency). Personally I really like moletrap and doa because they both bring an insight to the game, and moletrap I feel brings a korean style commentating, but in english of course.

And who can't love Tastosis XD.


isnt that an issue with you rather than her? Not trying to be mean or anything, but if you can't hear someone then why would you blame them?
