Hey Khaldor, love your commentating!

When you co-cast with Moletrap sometimes the conversations sound argumentative. One of you will comment and the other will question the truth of it. If you two can work on this and brush things off that don't matter the cast would flow so much better.

Keep up the hard work man.

Examples: "This looks terrible." With a response of "No."

Or "It looks like he'll..." With a response of "No."

If the comments happen and brushed over everything flows better.

Second best caster after the superhuman Artosis.
With a right-left, right-left you're toothless, And then you say "Goddamn they ruthless!"

That's pretty much exactly what Tasteless does. That's what's infuriating about Tastosis to me. Artosis makes a few really sharp observations and then Tasteless tries to say them... Louder? Maybe Artosis just jumps on the cupcakes and knocks them out of the park so Tasteless doesn't have much to add but WAY too many conversations go like this:

A: Wow that was such a good drop!
T: That was actually such a good drop

A: Oh no losing that observer is just so bad for him.
T: That is actually so bad.

A: Perfect forcefields go down!
T: That is actually perfect forcefields.

E: Not trying to derail the topic, just pointing out that I actually like that Khaldor sometimes gets a bit argumentative because it keeps both casters honest and it's a hell of a lot more watchable.

I actually agree, if something is iffy, and one commentator seems to get the wrong idea, the other one should correct him. Not on typos tho (in action, if a caster calls a marine a zergling or something like that), that would be actually disturbing.

But i have criticism as well. You are really fast with jumping the gun ("thats gg", "that was a bad engagement" - even if it wasnt). Try to cast what actually happens, not what could be in 2 minutes. Of course you can give predictions, but often you just jump the gun and overestimate stuff.

At least it feels like.

Ah, and get your hardware at home straight, your mic actually gave me a headache. -.-

Ansonsten, weitermachen. Machst keinen schlechten Job, allerdings versuch Moletrap nicht unterzubuttern (aufn Kopp haun), das wirkte heute ein wenig unprofessionell irgendwie.

(suggestion about stopping stuff like smacking moletrap in the head and not "bully" him because it looks unprofessional - but i can say it more clearly in german)

You're doing great, although as people say, the way you tend to repeat things as you're stringing together sentences gets... a little repetitive. I would suppose that comes with the territory of casting live in a foreign language, and it's really not a big deal. Your combo with moletrap is highly entertaining!
good vibes only

Please stop using the phrase "creep slave". Its uncomfortable for me to hear, I think its unnecessary, and something about hte history of that word makes it feel misplaced in the context.

Also, hardy har har that someone with my name would be commenting about that, I get it.

Besides that, love your style.

It seems like when you cast with a cocaster you have trouble relaxing and the interaction between the two of you tends to come off hostile even. I don't know if you have a problem with moletrap, for example, but it sure appears that way when awkward arguments start in the middle of a cast. Maybe you guys are friends, but you definitely don't act like it when casting.

watched some of your casts in german already, and also saw you casting the GSL.

but im honest, i dont like you as a caster.
maybe its a sympathie-thing but i dont like the way how you appear during the casts for the GSL.
the german stuff was fine, but i dont think you fit in the GSL-casting area.

Ofc i should give you the chance to improve your casting, but i cant really tell why i dont like it.
from my point of view, wolf/moletrap/doa have been better caster. i dont compare your casting with their casting, but you cant just fill the gap that there is.

let me see more GSTL and Code A, maybe i can give a more d etailed explanaitio why i dont like your casting.
Ooooh, look at it go

I like your casting. You are not as good as Wolf imo, but you are way better than Khaldor, Khaldor is just not my cup of tea.

I think in general you are doing a solid job in my personal opinion - but pleaseeee don't use that "nani nani na na" phrase if you can help it, it just sounds so silly and childish T_T

Honestly you cast perfect until you have to cast with moletrap. You guys just dont compliment eachother as a pair.

I'd suggest they pair you with Wolf I'm 100% sure it'd be more natural. Mole trap seems to just make casting awkward I don't know how he does it but he does indeed do it.

No offense to mole trap but there's caster chemistry and then there's no caster chemistry.
Blame it on my A.D.D

Khaldor, loosen your tongue more when you speak and try to enunciate the endings of words better. Don't swallow the plurals just because it's done so in German (one marauder -> two marauders). Try to not use the same words/phrases over and over. Also mind the difference between this/that and these/those as well as much/many. Other than that, you're doing a good job.

I really like your style, u really try to keep things interesting even when they aren't sometimes. Also, it keeps me paying attention to understand everything :-) But of course I know English isn't your first language, although you are pretty awesome at it!

I always liked khaldors casting. I follow him as a caster since the dawn of shoutcasts in warcraft 3. I think he is by far the best european caster. So props to you khaldor keep it coming

I also agree with what he said. These are just some of the smaller things that are definitely noticeable, but are not huge by any means. Perhaps studying them wouldn't be a terrible thing since it just gets you that much closer to speaking perfectly :-D

I think you are doing great. The biggest thing right now for me is definitely working with moletrap, lol. Just more relaxed and friendly around him. There seems to be some kind of thread from european casters to have some hostility towards the americans haha, I dont know if Im the only one who thinks this... But us euros often appear rude.

Not a bad caster, but also not great yet. I feel that from an analytical standpoint, you don't add all that much to a cast outside of the what is being shown. It's a tough metric, but when compared to the GSL benchmark of Artosis (and Tasteless) there's just not enough in-game knowledge. To make a more realistic comparison, I feel that Wolf also provides a significant amount of information to casts and can also talk about the game even during lulls in the action. Comparatively, you are fine when there is action or there is an obvious build occurring, but when there is downtime the cast suffers more than it does with most other casters.

Your accent isn't problematic (at least for me) and I feel that you've made good strides in becoming more understandable and clear with your phrasing.

Props for putting yourself out there for evaluation and self-improvement. I know you'll continue to get better!

Hi Khaldor,

I'm sorry but there has been many an occasion where I have questioned your knowlege of the game. Sure you get the job done and keep up with what's happening in the game but there are a few aspects of your casting that could hinder your development as a respected caster.
For example, your tone of voice while casting is very variable, sometimes when something SIGNIFICANT is happening, your tone makes it sound like it's not a very big deal, misleading the audience, and sometimes when something INSIGNIFICANT is happening, you act like it's a tide turner in the game.

Just my two cents, iron out this kink and no complaints from me !
