EPTI didn't watch GSTL 3 because of no Artosis
I feel a little bad giving Kelly a horrible vote. It's not because of her demeanor or her voice, I simply can't understand her half the time, and that's a horrible thing on an English stream.

You should probably be watching because of the games, not the casters. Too bad too, cause you missed an amazing GSTL. | ||

G A A A Tastosis is awesome and probably the best duo out there but I didn't give them an excellent just because there is not really a very large pool to pick from. I can't tell if I really like them or just like them because they commentate like 90% of the things worth watching. Still great nonetheless. | ||

The general opinion is that she's not good as a caster for whatever reason. If you think otherwise that's fine, but I'd assume you already voted. | ||

In a way this is true but if the game suck the caster are there to make it seem amazing to the public so if there are no good casters casting it well makes the games just look bad so in a way GSTL was ok i mean Tasteless....funny lol | ||

I watch the games because of the games and mute the sound because of the casters. Someone should actually make a survey about how often people watch tournaments without sound because of poor quality casters - I'm sure there's plenty of us. | ||

So they have a reason to hate her, Why would anyone be stubborn and hate her anyway? -_- You're just throwing around glaring generalizations about hate and stubborn people, it's just a loaded accusation intended to provoke even more pointless heated debates about this. It's the only reason people get angry over this topic in the first place, not because they hate anybody. | ||

Oh get over this attitude, it's as annoying to me as the other end of the spectrum with people who went ape-shit over Kelly... There are a ton of people who have good reason not to like her casting, it's not because they're stubborn, it's not because they're dumb Americans, it's not because they're native english speakers or not native english speakers or whatever random fucking label you give them every other day of the week. Her game knowledge was sort of questionable, even if she knew what she was talking about, she couldn't articulate it in a manner that wasn't distracting, her slurred speech, her awkward accent and her shrill voice made for an unpleasant listening experience, in addition, whenever something exciting was going on on screen, her voice became a shriek. Additionally, after the initial negative response to her casting, her attitude towards the response(at least the attitude the community saw) was rather disappointing and dramatic which resulted in people not liking her casting and subsequently some people not liking her attitude. It has nothing to do with being stubborn, people found her voice distracting or annoying, they aren't stubborn for wanting a better casting experience, there are plenty of casters with light accents, or even somewhat noticeable accents, but they have something that either compensates or works with it, like a nice sounding voice, or amazing game knowledge and observation, or a robust vocabulary and flow of speech, Kelly had none of those... | ||

My theory is that people were so used to the voices of Artosis and Tasteless that a female voice threw them off. I have been speaking English my entire life too. I had some trouble understanding Kelly. The sound of her voice to me though is like nails on a chalkboard (kind of like that Fran Drescher lady from "The Nanny"). I don't know why exactly, but that's just how I felt listening to her. It was so distracting for me that I chose to stop watching Code A all together. I want a caster to make me more excited about what is going on than if I was just watching it as a replay. I want to hear high level insight into what is going on in the game. Tastosis gives me that. She was the polar opposite for me. Tastosis- Excellent Moletrap- Good DOA- Average Kelly- Horrible | ||

I think they're just bullshitting or else the majority of the people who watch the GSL speak english as a second language. It's not that anyone couldn't straight up understand her, it's that it took a little more focus than anyone wants to allocate to simply understanding caster, particularly when shit gets intense and she goes into shriek-mode. When she starts slurring her words, it takes some genuine effort to understand what she's saying, it's nothing ridiculous and in a conversation I wouldn't give a shit, but when you're supposed to be casting a game, it's noticeably irritating. | ||
