I like Khaldor alot, however, his casting for GSL seems to be droning and monotonous and not too pleasant to hear to be honest. I've stopped listening at all because there is no REAL INSIGHT into RELEVANT game material. When Tasteosis cast (sorry to use them) they are literally forever talking about map balance, map strategy, what the players like to do for that map; Artosis literally has a boner over if the guy has put his factory in the north of his base. And it's awesome to hear. I love it, because I don't know these things myself.
Unfort, with Khaldor it tends to be dribble that comes out  Wolf has really improved to the point where he is giving player specific, "oh, he does well on this because he likes his build bla bla bla", which is really nice.
Basically, I think that casters should give you something that you cannot get from yourself or the game in front of you. Otherwise why bother with a caster? And atm, Khaldor doesn't satisfy that I'm not trying to be a dick. And I'm not saying you have to improve Mr. Khaldor to meet my specific needs, as you're making an awesome effort, but you're just not the caster that I can bear.

I kind of agree with what you're saying about him droning on about one specific point that doesn't really seem relevant. His inability to clever banter does detract from how much I enjoy his casting. That being said, he and Wolf are my favorite Code A team BY FAR in the history of Code A, and are coming close to my second overall favorite. I think Khaldor brings a lot to the casting team, and I have never not enjoyed a cast by him but you do have a good point.

Good really good Khaldor! Russia and swarm like u

Stop saying "he's dropping supplies like crazy" please, you've been saying that in almost every single game and it's get kinda dry.
|
I like Khaldor's casts quite a lot =D. Second to Wolf in my opinion! =D
|
Like the casting a lot, though have same issues that others seem to be having wrt repeated phrases and crutches.
One original inisght I would like to add to Khaldor's casting is that he often switches very rapidly between his khaldor serious analytics, and khaldor fast talking almost yelling play by play calls on the action at hand. Take a look at the korean casters and how they dont drop the excitement generated by large battles until well into the ceremony after the GG. Even artosis does this pretty well, were upon yelling GG, he continues yelling things until his co caster calms him down. Starcraft is exciting!

I have to say Khaldor, don't think that all your efforts are overlooked.
I am watching you cast GSTL with Wolf right now (oGs vs MVP) and you are really giving us your best.
I love that you do your research ahead of time and bring us player stats: such as the win:loss ratio of LiquidHero along with his last zerg opponent, who it was (Violet) whether it was a good series or not and casted by whom (catspajama and doa).
Absolutely amazed at your dedication!
Keep it up, buddy.
I'll gladly pay gom money just to watch and hear you cast.

Khaldor is a true professionnal caster with a lot of potential, cant imagine how good he would be if english was his first language. That means hes only gonna get better and better. The emotion in his voice shows the passion; and his knowledge of the game is not too bad either, and gettin better fast. He knows the history and stats of players, sees alot of stuff during the games.
Awesome duo with Wolf; sick combo that will developp sick synergy over time. The Code A Dark archon.

"He won with 2-0..."
No he didn't. He simply "won 2-0". The "with" sounds awkward, and it's pretty much superfluous.
|
Doing good, lots of information comes from your cast. Doing much better then moletrap and Wolf I think.

You have improved a ton. I enjoy your casting. Thank you very much for the twitter updates during the qualifiers. Keep up the awesome work!

You act between an analysis-caster and caster but the analysis often falls flat or is wrong which bothers me (and I'm not that high up and I can tell when something is wrong). Although, in casting nothing bothers me more when a caster observes something wrong and then is confused as to why the player did that.

Stop saying Creep slave.
Stop saying Creep slave.
PLease stop saying Creep slave.
It is not an important word to your vocabulary and you could even say "creep queen". But creep slave ALWAYS rubs me the wrong way. I know your intention is not to bring up and practically make light of a word charged with historical meaning and it is instead to describe the profession of dedicating your life around something rote and mundane, but as an American and a South Asian with a history of indentured servitude and slavery, it ALWAYS bothers me when an industry trying to become as mainstream as "Esports" thinks nothing wrong about taking "harmless" problematic slang, and unquestioningly broadcasting it globally. If for no other reason, think of it as unnecessary and irksome to some of your viewership.
Besides that, awesome job.

Get moletrap fired and i'll love you forever

It is 'with' in german, so there is his confusion.

I think its awesome that a german fellow is casting at the GSL, but unfortunately i hate the german accent even though i have it myself =P

Great job casting! I think you've made a good deal of improvements since I started watching your casts. And as for the best casting duo for Code A, I would definitely say you and Wolf hands down (the other guys are really getting stronger too though).
As far as advise, I would love to see more honest casts. I'm sure you guys are told to act really hyped-up for each match, however, I really appreciated it when you mentioned how Yugio was done for and made no attempt to make a boring game exciting with fake enthusiasm. I think enthusiasm is one of the hardest emotions to fake and when casters do fake it it is ALWAYS transparent. This also makes the actually exciting games more memorable. Cheers man, and keep it up!

I don't know, I always liked Wolf/Doa, not for any analysis, but they were hilarious casting together.
Khaldor, you do a great job for the most part. I like the very specific instances you bring up about things the players could have or should have done, but I feel you stick on those points a little too long. Additionally, you should try to vary up when you say "He really needs to" seems like you say that too often and too consistently.

'Er hat 2-0 gewonnen' -> He won 2-0. I don't think
Er hat mit 2-0 gewonnen -> He won with 2-0 ... is better if valid at all.
You could argue that "Er hat mit zwei zu null / he won with two to zero (gesprochen / spoken) sounds better in German that is, but .. really meh. I'd just say He won 2-0.
