New to thread - I read 6 pages of this and just gave up because it was stupid. There are pros and cons about everything. Obviously, Kelly has a different accent, unlike the ones from America or Australia. But as someone new to the "casting society in SEA" (which is me), I find that Kelly is one of the popular ones from SEA and again, sexism - LETS FACE IT - it's everywhere. And honestly, it is smart of GOM to make a change and add a female voice into commentating, because it definitely starts something new for the Starcraft community, also promoting girls playing Starcraft.
I KNOW - people are gonna shout at me and say crap that I'm NEW to SEA at casting or whatever, but honestly, I am proud for the casting society of SEA to have somebody enter the GSL. As we all love to hear, SC2 is an INTERNATIONAL game. So what's wrong with having different accents in a game that is played worldwide?
I stand on both sides, I agree and disagree with this decision, but as many posts before has stated, I believe that Kelly will rise to the occasion of being in a professional tournament.
