guys, guys, why not wait for the casts to be out and enjoy it rather than whine about it.
different people have different preferences. obviously enough people have liked kelly enough to pick her.
my personal favourite is novawar from lifesaglitchtv, but not everyone enjoys his brand of commentating.
Does anyone else think that GOM is being sexist here? There are plenty of good casters in SEA who speak fluent english, have much more in depth analysis and don't whine about protoss and terran being OP - and yet GOM picks Kelly...seemingly only because she is a female?
This to me just seems a bit sexist.
Please tell me how many of these other casters do you know for a FACT applied for the job? If they didn't apply, they can't be expected to get it.
Congrats Kelly. Your casting from what I've seen seems fairly good. And, for anyone who hasn't read the GOM announcement yet, she will be casting half the games alongside Artosis, and half alongside Tasteless, giving them both a bit of a break. Should be great experience if nothing else.
Is this some sort of a joke?
Edit: Not a joke it seems.

I know I didn't apply (selling my house, belongings and taking a lower paying job? Really?), and I assume by Unstables response he didn't either. I'd say she was the only SEA caster to apply, although there were some US ones that apparently did.
I should have been broader and said there must have been better applications from any corner of the world.
In particular I am rather puzzled why there is no Torch anywhere in that announcement?? If they only needed one person to rotate with each of Artosis and Tasteless, why not get Torch to do it?

GL kelly!!! i will deffinatly tune in to the code A now, most of the time i would b like meh code A but now im tuning in for sure!
and dw bout the haters they will probably end up tuning in anyway and see how good u r then eat their words
make sure ur extra biased towards glade
You guys can hate on Kelly all you want. In the end, she had more than 5 times the audience of any other caster I've had.
Is she the best caster in SEA? I'd agree with the majority here and say no. BUT, yes, being a cute young woman caters more to the SC2 demographic (nerdy young men, many of whom can't get laid).
She has a Singlish accent. However, it's not THAT bad. As far as SInglish goes, her Singlish accent is fairly mild actually.
Basically, give her a chance, see how she does.
Good luck Kelly.
