pretty much exactly why i didnt lol

I must admit that I do have trouble understanding Kelly but that's mainly because I'm hearing impaired (hopefully a much more legitimate reason than pure unfamiliarity!), which makes unfamiliar accents a lot more difficult to determine.

I think it's great that Kelly's managed to secure such an opportunity, and I wish her the best of luck! I do feel that everyone has space for improvement, so if most of TL dislikes her current state of casting, I'm sure that with professional feedback from GOM she'll gradually improve.

I'm not a fan

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.

I would rather prefer HDpheonixx over kelly, or maybe Benji/Unstable can take her place.

Official Announcement out. She will be casting with either tasteless or artosis. I think its awesome that a sea caster is out there casting Code A.

Starcraftmazter · Fri, 18th-Feb-2011, 2:43 PM

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?

This decision I simply do not understand.

lol GSL just got hilarious.

I, for one, won't QQ about it.. instead I'll just tune in to laugh at how bad it is.

Lol also selling you're house with like 4 days notice, assuming Kelly only just found out.

Why would Kelly have a house?

I was thinking more along the lines of rent, but I guess I'm too ignorant.Clearly you make a lot of money from your casting and have been able to afford to purchase a house, sorry I did not forsee this possibility.

That's a pretty pathetic argument to further someone's qualifications as a professional caster. I would go so far as to say it's sexist.

That's really what such silly arguments come down to isn't it, "hurr durr group X can't get laid, that is why they are hating, etc". No offense, but that attitude pretty much devalues any real debate.
