Originally your game knowledge appalled me. You made wrong calls every single game, and never corrected yourself. You would say something about what was happening on screen that was blatantly wrong, then I'd be distracted by the disconnect between the gamestate in my head, and what was coming through my ears, and i would end up having to turn off the sound so i could enjoy the game. I no longer watch the GOM vods you cast without sound because your calls have gotten a lot better (though still not great) and there are no longer awkward pauses between you and wolf. The only thing that really bugs me is all the inside jokes you have with wolf. I don't watch every single one of your casts, I don't pay any attention to your twitters, or GOM news, or even half of team liquid, so most of the time i don't know what you two are laughing about, and it ends up being annoying. Overall you've improved a lot, and I can now happily watch Code A. Please keep improving. btw, Khaldor >> Moletrap | ||

It feels a little strange sometimes when you start talking about a different subject when wolf is done saying something. But keep up the good work and I admire your dedication to casting seriously around the clock it feels like. | ||

I think you do a great job casting. I don't understand why some people get hung up on the phrases you say, like you saying "probe after probe" or tasteless saying "this looks like it's gonna be GG." I guess you can't please everyone. All in all however I'd say that you're my favorite caster after tastosis, you actually tend to hype me up and get me excited or wake me up when I'm dozing off at 4am, even more than them. You do a great job being energetic, and I love that you are critical of the players. They are pros, they should be EXPECTED to be playing nearly perfectly after all. Thanks for your tireless work Khaldor, I saw you at MLG anaheim and IPL in Las Vegas, it was a pleasure to meet you. | ||

 Also, I want you to be aware of how often you use the phrase "<player> is dropping in supply!" I typically hear it from you a handful of times every single game. Casualties on both sides are expected when two armies clash, thus the phrase isn't particularly informative. You probably don't even realize you say it so often, though, which is why I wanted to bring it to your attention. Good job overall -- I enjoy you and Wolf together. :D | ||

Let me start this off by saying that your English is amazing. However, there are some things that I think could help you sound more like a native English speaker 1. For now, cut "already" out of your vocabulary completely, unless you're using it with a participle. 2. Present tense. "He is doing it" vs. "He does it" Use "he is doing something" if it's happening while you are saying it. If a player snipes a hatch, say "He snipes the hatch!" If he is in the process of sniping the hatch, say "He is sniping the hatch!" English speakers, and a lot of other speakers of romance languages from what I have seen, use the "He does it" rather than the "He is doing it" in many situations where both can be "correct." Even though the latter it is technically correct, the former sounds more natural and less awkward. This is kind of nitpicky since both are technically fine, but just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't know this. Your English vocab is pretty damn good! Cheers! edit: Wanted to say that for #2, I've noticed good improvement lately. Not sure if this is conscious or if you're just getting even more comfortable with the language | ||

You try and make up something silly to pass time and it's the most hilarious thing you've ever heard.. your co caster does the same thing and you look and talk to him like what he just said is the dumbest comment ever, something you'd never say or do, and then go on to do the exact same thing he did not a minute later while laughing and screaming hysterically. Oh and of course the age old gripe with you to please, PLEASE work on your in game knowledge. It is still painfully obvious that you do not keep up with most of the current meta game switches and just plain do not know near enough about what you speak when compared to someone like Wolf or Artosis. We can always count on either of them to have a good prediction early on in a game but you almost never mention and constantly miss those early clues in the game, likely because you just do not know what they are. Please work on this. Those combined with your habit of just raising your voice and random intervals without a clear reason make you close to unbearable for me.. which is sad seeing I've watched every GSL A/S and GSTL game to date just about. 40% of TL members apparently have a serious issue with your casting; please listen to some of us instead of jumping down our throats when YOU ask for feedback.. this is not your personal circle jerk thread! | ||

Maybe try to inject a bit of humour into your casts, though. If there was any particular area I'd give you for critique it would be regarding the over-analysis of some situations. Wolf occaisonally shoots some witty one liners your way and they end up falling flat on their faces! | ||

Not every game or end of a game is epic. Agree to dissagree? I don't think he yells too much. I could see it being a bit odd in the specific situation you mentioned, but I don't think he yells too much in general. | ||

Hyping up a game situation (FOCUSING DOWN STALKER AFTER STALKER, a line I like btw, but it gets repetitive if used multiple times in a single game) is where you could use more vocabulary instead of simply yelling ^_^ I love your stories from your WC3 past. I guess you should read more english? Something that utilises a larger vocabulary of words, probably literature that is a little older. Shakespeare? Edgar Allan Poe wrote a lot of cool stuff too. Mark Twain? Or just Ernest Hemingway. I actually feel you could learn something about narration from Hemingway since you are his type of guy.. I think xD. Best of luck! | ||
