I went back through a few of the older GSL VoDs from when you first started casting, and you've gotten tremendously better. Your passion for the game and your sense of humor really make for a great caster

Honestly, I've come to love you and Wolf just as much as Tastosis. Since the thread is specifically about you, I should just focus on you... I think you do an excellent job. I pretty much agree with the first post in the thread: I think you do a great job, I love listening to you. I suppose you could always find something to improve on, but I honestly wouldn't even know what that is, haha.

Keep up the great work!

I loved you ever since your legendary wc3 commentaries!
At the beginning of your sc2 casting career I felt like you were lacking some knowledge as well as the ability to express your excitement that well in English. However, you have been improving constantly and for quite some time you have become one of my favorite sc2 casters. By now, I'd even say that I prefer you&Wolf over Tastosis.

Khaldor, I think you're really a very good caster. My one tip is one that also goes for Wolf and many other casters: please don't say such and such is "very annoying." Like.... ever. It is a way of describing gameplay which tends to diminish the epicosity of whatever little thing happened, has been overused to the point of cliche, and only works if you are describing the comic rage of a nerd gamer; which in itself is pretty hackneyed. The other tic, which I would like to mention is the phrase, "cleans up," as in "the drop was cleaned up." This one makes a little bit more sense, but again it equates epic gameplay to just a mess (thereby removing credit from the player doing awesome and/or cheese gameplay) which is a little bit boring, but more than anything else it is just one of those phrases that has become the absoulute go-to for runbys and drops--any cast which removes these two tics will be a more colorful and thoughtful cast.

Anyway, sorry if this comes off as a negative rant, but I like what you do. Love the enthusiasm and your slightly strange relationship with Wolf. I'm sure you guys are friends or what have you, but for the most part I like the way you two are kind of an Odd Couple--sweet in the end, but not exactly at ease. Cheers.

Code A without Khaldor would be a travesty in this day and age

Love the casting, don't really have any major qualms except when sometimes you refer to "the Protoss player" or "the Zerg player" during matches rather than calling them by their names. Other than that, it is a joy hearing you and Wolf cast.

And what happened to that girl's number I asked you to get the other day? PM me.

They should call it Code Khaldor, really.

You're doing great, your english has increased vastly and you're no longer stumbling

As the thread should contain some criticism, sometimes you talk too much about the obvious. Give wolf a chance!

Ich freue mich dass wenigstens ein deutscher an der GSL teilnimmt, auch wenn es bisher nur code A ist ;D

Hi Khaldor!

During todays match between Bbyong and Sniper, called Bbyong dumb for calling down mules at his natural instead of his third. I think he did this to hide the fact that he had a third, and thus the play was very smart!

I think it's important that a caster doesn't judge the players that hard, especially as the players most often have more game knowledge than the casters. It's very rude and makes the player seem bad. Also it doesn't really do anything for the cast.

Keep up the good work, and hope you enjoy the new studio!

Khaldor, you're AWESOME, and you're an absolute machine with your commentating! I love always being able to tune into one of your casts!

The oooonlyy little thing that's started to bug me a bit is that you repeat yourself a bit too much. Like you'll say something like "...his drowns are all dying, HIS DROWNS ARE ALL DYING", always repeating a sentence in a more critical way. A few times is fine but I think you do it a bit too much xD Not sure if it's a language thing, but yeah...anyways, you still rock :-)

LOL i really love how you speak like a german! its fun to listen to.

I know it is offtopic but any chance that you will cast the Warcraft finals for G-League?

Hey I just watched your cast of Byun vs. Madbull in the GSTL and I was blown away!!! Awesome job dude!!! It has been some time since I have seen any of you folks from GSL

but I am so glad I tuned in-- you and Wolf just brought the game to life for me. It was a positional game, and you emphasized all the fascinating nuances of the epic game Byun and Madbull created. I loved especially that you and Wolf never downplayed the interest of those details--the patience of Byun, the persistence of Madbull....

It was just great!!! Keep it up and thank you!!!
