"Noone could ever reach his level" .. and Artosis did  So its not impossible, but a long and hard way. Yup, you just need a thick skin in the beginning and to work hard :p Artosis had the advantage of being a well known figure in the scene tho. @ ELA I'm coming from WC3 and I'm used to having a choice of different casters in different languages. You want someone who imitates creep sounds? Go for Bunny. You want to be entertained? Go for Khaldor etc. | ||

I think she did a decent job, the accent wasn't too annoying. You just needed to pair her with the right co-caster. | ||

I think the accent thing is dealbreaker to many people. I for one had no problems with it when she was calm and collected but as soon as games picked up in pace she slurred, shrieked in a high pitched voice and was very hard to follow. | ||

I'm a native English speaker, and I could barely follow Kelly when she spoke at normal speed, let alone when she was excited. I found that it wasn't so much the accent but rather the way she constantly slurred/ran words together; I don't have any problem understanding anyone I know from Singapore. I shudder to think how a non-native speaker managed to follow her casting :/ | ||

Moletrap and Doa are good, nothing wrong with them. Kelly had a pretty good understanding of the game and such, but as a non english native speaker, it was really hard to listen to her. :/ | ||

I love Tasteless' casting, it's smooth most of the time, he notices things that Artosis misses, and throws some jokes here and there, just the right amount. Excellent. It's the opposite for Artosis, the more time passes, the more his casting tends to annoy me. He's great when he's actually focusing on the game, but his jokes are not funny to me anymore, it seems to me that he's only recycling jokes he already told, and spend way way less time commenting the actual game than he used to during the first GSLs. It's just my opinion, but I liked it better when he spent more time focusing on the game and less time telling not so funny jokes (or initiating 3-minutes jokes) and stories about his ladder games. Average. | ||

Excellent Good None (Haven't seen her cast) Average Bad Artosis casts fine by himself, he's awesome, tasteless makes it even better but tasteless wouldn't be nice on his own. Doa is very "meh", he has a good voice but he says a lot of n00bish things and pull many crappy jokes. Moletrap is like doa, but doesn't have a good voice. | ||

Indeed, it's gonna cause nothing but drama. Still interesting. imo, Artosis > Tasteless > Kelly > Moletrap > Doa. When it comes to looks, Tasteless > Kelly > Moletrap > Artosis > Doa. no homo | ||

Tasteless: excellent. <3 Kelly: good, I don't get why everyone is so upset about her accent. I am obvious not an english native speaker and had never problems to understand her. But at least she seemed to be prepared for the games, which is the most important part for me. The only negative thing "mimimi Zerg is so up" (see Artosis). DoA: not so good but not average. He is really entertaining and seems to have good game knowledge. But please prepare for the games. Its just embarrassing to see how less he knows about the players. Don't wanna go into much details but just look some introduction to the code A players from last season. Moletrap: Average. Yes he is really funny. But he interrupts DoA to much. Then he just repeats what DoA allready said. He misses really much of the ingame stuff, i.e. the third expansion in the MMA vs SC game. And of course the thing with the preparation like DoA. In general they are all no bad casters otherwise the guys from gomtv would never picked them. Even if I call Moletrap average he is working to get better. So I would call this criticism on a high level. | ||

I do not understand why anyone would have to rate shoutcasters, because you can't compare one shoutcaster to another. Yes, you'll have "bad" shoutcasters, but none of the above are bad shoutcasters, they are all excellent. | ||

tasteless good (it's a casting duo, he's not inputting as much quality into the cast, it's how i feel at least - pretty hard one though, these two have been together for so long that it's hard to draw a comparison between them when it comes to how much they add to the GSL) kelly bad to average, voted bad though, she got decent towards the end but nothing above average with a hint of distracting, cool attitude and research though, so nothing to take from the professionalism, just the actual ability to deliver the knowledge within the requirements of commentating sc doa average, pretty funny at times, a bit bland commentaru, love his quirky personality though moletrap good to excellent, voted excellent since he does bring a lot to the table and is very entertaining to watch; his jokes remind me a bit of tasteless too in that they're usually strange or horri-tasteless-bad but with a notch of awesome to keep things fresh. casting opposite of doa and having the work ethic from bw carry over are huge advantages though, so he can get even better. -spelling- | ||
