Final warning before posting in this thread

If you want to critisize do it constructively, like unstable and rielle/froadac(after i edited them) have done in their long posts on page 7. Insulting her is a below the belt / douche thing to do and will only get your post edited/delete or your IP address banned, and when that happens you wont be able to even view the site anymore.

GOM has already made the decision to hire her and shes not going anywhere soon. So if you wanna help the situation you should be providing proper constructive feedback which she can use, obv if you insult her she will tune everything out and not even read it.

From this point unconstructive criticisms / needless insults = site ban

Make the critics eat their words Kelly! Gogo! Glhf in KR

[AcTiVillain]

woah I shit bricks when I heard about this

This will make Code A - interesting,

[Satu]

Comparing this thread to the TL one is funny as.

Americans: I CANT UNDERSTAND THAT ASIAN. WTF. CODE A WILL FAIL! It has begun...

Us: Yay! Code A is gonna be SOOOO good now! Wonder how wow'd out glade will be!

[Makra]

The irony of that thread..... It's not just americans, but a ton of europeans complaining about her accent.

[Disadvantage]

Awesome, go you Kelly.

[Aean(:]

I dont like her accent either, it isn't professional to me. Not hating or anything, i dont mind it now (heard it too much) but yeah, might be uncomfortable for others are first just like it was for me at first.

[ETL.Santi]

When I read title I just said jesus...

[mOOnGLaDe]

who cares if you think she doesn't have the right accent for it, shes going, its going to happen regardless of your negative opinions. Support her regardless because shes representing SEA, our community. Go flame on TL if you feel like it with the rest of them -_-

[Ryukku]

haha. i guess for once, understanding the singaporean accent will help =DD!!

good luck with the GSL! =D

[Dandelion]

more SEA love.

congratulations Kelly!!! Have fun & good luck :3


I have no issue with her accent, Starcraft is something I want to see big globally, different accents & culture are gonna come into play with such a widely spread event.

Agreed, sc2 fans should be embracing diversity, it shows how widely loved the game is! Instead all those TL fags just want a homogenised, americanised approach to professional starcraft.

Statements like this make me annoyed. SC2 is going to be a SPECTATOR esport. so regardless of personal feelings whether you like kelly's casting or not. The majority voice will win. IF you take the time to read that entire TL thread yes you have the few retarded 1 liners but the majority are legitimate complaints about her style which they are allowed to have. Like it or not, the majority of SC2 Players at the moment ARE from the USA (according to sc2ranks.com)

Some things she cant change like her accent (well technically she can but w/e) some things she will need to work hard on like the points brought up in that TL thread. she will have a season of code A to show us what she can do and like her or hate her. GOM is a business and they will go with the direction that makes them the most $$ if people stop watching because of it which is possible then they obviously will change their mind.

Yeh I didn't want to really say anything about her accent but it is quite a problem. She doesn't speak fluent English and sometimes it is rather hard for me to understand her. I don't normally have problems understanding foreign accents since I grew up around people with a range of different accents. Since she is now becoming a professional commentator and will be doing this (hopefully) for a living, I believe she should take steps in order to correct deficiencies in her English which would most likely make her cast far more enjoyable to listen to. I think she should have received speech therapy earlier if this was the career path she wished to take.

No matter how great her ability is to break down what is happening in a game, it is worthless if she isn't able to communicate her thoughts effectively to the listener. I believe a professional commentator has to bring something to the table that others can't and I don't believe she really does that.
