Please talk about the games in this thread. If you feel the desire to rage about something, bottle it up inside you and lash out elsewhere. Thanks! | ||

It shouldnt be about her being some sort of eyecandy for the camera. I watch GSL cause I enjoy top level SC2. I dont watch GSL cause I want to look at pretty girls. I can do that elsewhere. She didnt add anything extraordinary to the games, and that had nothing to do with her being female, singaporean or whatever else people has been bashing on, but rather that her understanding of the game is lacking. Disagree, I thought her commentary was fine. The fact that she is pretty is icing on the cake. The top level SC2 was there with or without her, and she isn't standing in the way of it like Jason Lee was (now that was annoying casting, though I appreciate the effort he put into it). She's not clueless, and she's clearly put time into doing this well. | ||

Did anyone really expect Kelly to deliver like a seasoned caster even though this is only her first pro TV cast? She did a good enough job imo. She is enthusiastic and tries to be entertaining. She knows enough about the game to be really good, she just needs some time to adapt. Does anyone remember Tasteless when he first started casting the GOM BW events? That was pretty embarassing. But he improved drastically over time, and now most TL members would kill for the guy to cast their games. Same for SuperDanielMan. His first casts were awful, and TL raged and screamed. But again, he got better fast, and the Tasteless/SDM duo became pretty popular. What about John the translator? Remember his first interviews? They were pretty awkward. Look at John now! Flying solo, confident enough to tease Huk on his mistakes, making jokes, and loved by TL. And the observer who took over Tasteless? How many TL members whined and complained during his first games? Yet today, he is doing an excellent job and nobody complains any more. Starting to see a pattern here? Give Kelly some time. She plays at a pretty decent level and she is paired with two experienced casters : she should be perfectly fine real soon. I am convinced that when she has found her "style" of casting, many on TL will like her a lot. And I personnally find it refreshing not to hear the same old worn out jokes by Tastosis. Kelly will allow them to find a new dynamic. Now about the games, I am really glad Huk won convincingly. Even though he can do way better than what he showed today, the series was not even close. Once he gets used to playing in the booth and with that extra pressure, he will really be a strong contender for those Code S spots. Go Hoodie Toss! | ||

Quoted for truth already found kellys casting quite good and I liked Tasteless today more than on almost any other cast with artosis. Some mixup will be good for everyone in the team. Huks first game was very exciting, I thought he lose after that first push, but it became a very nice and quite long game. Glad he made it, sad for Loner, wanted to see more of him befor TSL3 | ||

Anyway, + Show Spoiler + I'm pretty impressed with Losira, he played pretty well and managed to keep his cool after this blink stalker rape in game 1, Revival did pretty well too, lots of Zergs to cheer for! (at least in code A -.-') | ||

Edit : I wanted to add, I'm not by any means one of Kelly's haters, but I find it hilarious to see people mocking her accent (being Asian myself and not a native English speaker). Stuff like "baimrings" and "He's going to stop with his whoregate poosh" I saw somewhere (was it here or on gom's forums?) really crack me up, so keep'em coming! | ||
