Khaldor is a great caster. I was disappointed the other day when he didn't know that you can steal a tech lab as Terran, but there are gaps in everyone's knowledge. One of the benefits of having him back in the GSL this season is that out of Moletrap, Artosis, Tasteless and him, he is the only one who looks great in a suit. Everyone else looks like a nerd in a suit at their grandmother's funeral. Khaldor looks like he kills stool pigeons and goes to the opera after the GSL ends.

I am looking at Khaldor's german casting for Iron Squid, and he definitely seem not to "hover" on sentences as he sometimes does on GomTV/KSL. I assume that he happens to do that because he is casting in English, which should mean that by practising this particular defect will disappear.
Keep it up and you will be an even better international caster!

Main annoyances are just when you say something different to what went in your head, like player or unit names. Seem to make this mistake more than other casters. Its barely a problem though, I generally like your casting, have watched most of your KSL games.

Honestly, I rather enjoy your casting. You seem to play very well off of your co-casters, and scale in a unique way with them in a qualitative way.

I think it would be interesting to see you casting with someone else. Someone who isn't Wolf/Moletrap. Sadly a side-project of mine has me avoiding almost all non-GSL eSport right now, so I haven't heard any (I assume there are some) examples of you with other casters is out there.

Its very refreshing to see a caster truly care about their own performance and ask what they can do better to improve.

In any event, I have no real problems with your casting. Game knowledge is acceptable, you could try and be a bit more exciting at times, but I think the language/accent barrier is what is holding you back there, so no real qualms. average-above average caster, and one I will continue to enjoy. Just for comparison, the only casters I consider truly A game are Day9+Wheat, and Artosis+Tasteless, but all of them have been doing it for a lot longer than everyone else I think.

Now... + Show Spoiler +

Why can't Moletrap make one of these...????#??#?#?#

Not too bad.... but you probably need to sharpen up in terms of game knowledge. Still though, 100x better than Moletrap at any rate.

If i remember correctly he is Master in Korea. Doesn't mean to much about game knowledge i guess... but at least he has the foundation to build upon! =)

I think you should improve your English. Seeing as this is your profession you should consider a speech coach. You want people focusing on the game, not your language. Not saying that you shouldn't have an accent, just work on it a more

Other then that I think the part I love the most about your casting is the fact that you're very positive. I'm constantly annoyed by Moletrap, especially lately since he seems so critical of everything. As far as I'm concerned you're really carrying Code A!

Keep the spirit and enthusiasm up!

And you need to learn your Star Wars quotes! (ref Moletrap joke that fell flat the other day)

I think you go too fast sometimes and say inaccurate statements which can annoy me. I definetly am not against you though, and would consider you a plus to any tournament you cast. I think you can be better though, if you just slowed it down a little bit sometimes. Silence is OK, Khaldor!!

You know a lot about the game, and you're good at casting, but you come off as pretty mean when you talk about players mistakes. Sometimes you get pretty aggressive in criticizing players, and it doesn't come off as constructive at all.

Points:

1. You need to do something about your oily face. I'm sorry, but you're the shiniest caster I've ever seen.
2. Talk faster, without sacrificing quality.
3. Interrupt/assert more, when you have an important point to make. I think you defer too much.
4. Fake laugh more. It's so obvious when you think your co-caster's jokes aren't funny. Your honest reaction makes things awkward for everyone. Give it a fake laugh.

Anyways, that's all, in addition to what everyone else said above, you're doing great, and add quality to every game.

Lol, I for one, like Khaldor's shiny head.

Good caster, but like this guy said it is obvious when you think that your co-caster isn't funny. But besides that, Khaldor is one of my favorite GSL casters

You need to never use this construction again: "I repeat, ...". It's grating on the brain and is the only major thing that turns me off from you. Other than that, you're not bad!

Hi Khaldor, I really feel that your main problem as a caster is that you apologize too much when you make a mistake. All you need is a quick correction and then just keep rolling. No need to correct yourself more than once, mistakes are really not that big of a deal.

But, an even bigger and more important problem is that they won't let you tear the arms off that suit to show them big muscles <3 lol
