I think Khaldor has improved a lot, I really really appreciate how he's toned down the criticism towards the players (I suspect being around Wolf who is himself kind of negative has made him realize that being too critical can be annoying and not really fun), which was my main gripe against him.

Overall you gotta love his enthusiasm and passion for the game, now if he could improve his english even more it would only benefit him I think.

Khaldor your casting is great, when you replaced Moletrap when casting with Wolf I finally was able to get into watching Code A and GSTL. The only thing that seems off is when you say things like:

"things aren't going well for the terran player" or

"we have 10 infestors coming out for the TSL player".

I don't know why this bothers me but otherwise your casting is awesome!

I have just stumbled upon this thread and thought I'd throw my two cents in.

Khaldor, you are one of my favourite casters and your partnership with Wolf is one of the best in the industry. You guys compliment each other perfectly! I used to not be so interested in watching the GSL Code A or the GSTL, but you and Wolf have made it so exciting and interesting that I find myself watching every game you guys cast.

Keep up the good work, and thank you!

There are quite some things that bother me about Khaldor, from his unclean pronounciations against which - as a professional caster - he seems to do nothing, to his frequent botching of player intros.

However he is such an incredibly dedicated caster, always out there covering so many great events for us, most of the times at horrible times for him in Korea, that it is impossible for me to have any hard feelings against him. I've rarely seen as outstanding commitment to casting as from him, except maybe back in the days when moletrap was casting in the back of his car.

Also the chemistry between him and Wolf is unbelievable. I am glad to see another great casting pair forming after my sadness when DoA left Korea.

Khaldor, I gotta say. I really enjoy your casting now. In the beginning I didnt like your casting that much, but I dont know if its just because you werent comfortable yet, or if it was because you didnt have a consistent co-caster (or maybe you have just really grown on me). Now I actually enjoy watching Code A, and I dont mind that it isnt tastosis doing the GSTL. You are doing a fantastic job and I look forward to your continued success.

I, too, was one who wasn't too fond of Khaldors casting some time back(didn't hate by any means, but wasn't terribly interested, but honestly in the last few months he has really flipped my opinion on him. He's really one of my favorite casters to watch now. I can't pinpoint exactly what changed, but whatever it was is really doing it for me. Awesome job Khaldor, keep up the good work.

In the beginning I would have said, pretty ok, needs to improve, but now I say you are AWESOME! Your banter has improved, your level of excitement rises to just the appropriate peaks at just the right times. You talk clearly, and emphasize points and help us get inside the mind of the player, not just read off the production tab as you were more inclined to do before.

Also you stopped trying to do math or figure out brackets on stream. LOLOL

I give you an A. Keep going strong.

PS: I think a big part of it is you have a good cocaster that you really click with in Wolf. As with the Casting Archon, the right cocaster can make a good caster into an unbelievable caster.

Khaldor (& Wolf) are rapidly approaching Tastosis levels. He's really improving in both humour and analysis

Really? That is kind of sad, since Khaldor + math = awesome.

Khaldor, I must say, back when you joined GOM it was during a period where the non-tastosis casters were being cycled every 2-3 months and many people were never content with the alternate casters -- including myself. When you first joined you were a bit hard to understand (not terrible) and not my favorite caster, but when there are non-code S games being aired I no longer find myself regretful that it's not tastosis. You have improved a ton, and I legitimately have no advice to improve your casting. You do a fantastic job and you should feel proud =]

Well the one bit of advice is the same I would give to ANY caster -- play the game more, practicing with as intense focus as possible, so that you will have more insights from experience (and game knowledge from getting good + speaking with good people) to offer during the cast.

Overall you are an ace caster, great job improving. Your english is easy as fuck to understand and that can't be easy to pull off.

No my favorite, but really awesome. Makes Code A something worth watching. In the past I actually would avoid it because the casting was so bad despite the great matches.

I kinda have to second this,

I reallllly enjoy it, after you put an end to the Code-A (mole)trap, i actually watched it :D

The only downside is the one i quoted, maybe it is your style then it's fine if you can stop it, you'd be perfect!

You sir are doing great,

I love the no bullshit style, the little stories from behind the scenes and honesty especially, like "no I only met the guy once, he seems fine and no he's not my friend after seeing him once" as opposed to other casters who always seem to be friends with everyone, like everyone gives a shit.

Thanks for giving up your night's sleep to cast on other tournaments so often!!!
