Couple of things
- Should really stop saying whats REALLY obvious like - Haypros mutas are now trying to scout for information (repeat 3+ times), Zergs gona get banelings. like... we know. Its good to state it occasionally, but repeating it a couple of times in each game on a similar screen? Just no.
-If your commenting on a players style etc, dont use words like "always". use "most of the time or likely". "always" makes any commentators sound stupid.
- Try not to cut off Tasteles when he says stuff. unless its really important. So dont state the obvious when his saying something.. its really annoying (no offence). You'll notice that Tastees doesnt cut off you unless its rally important.
Basically should just watch your own casts on GSL. And well... criticise yourself.
Good luck.
To address some of your issues. The terms I use have been discussed prior to the cast. I am suppose to say blue / red zerg because for people it will be easier to see on the screen. As viewers, there is always going to be 2 side, example "Why does she keep saying leenock, I have to scroll over to see what their names are."
^ example shows that there is going to be different response to how I call out the players.
I will keep in mind not to use Toss if you feel it's such a big issue. That can be fixed easily.
As for self marketing, fuckslits was my old blog name and mostly only my friends read it. I have since changed it to my nick name.
For Milkies, I am sorry. I don't see what the big deal is unless your mind is already set on it to be something other than a nick I used to use for a MMORPG named RoseOnline which then stuck.
It is not meant to be what you might be thinking it is -o-"
My friends all decided to use the nick name ****ies.
There were Drummies, Smarties, Yukies, Panties, Cookies, and I decided to use Milkies -o-
Hope that clears up some issues

well it may seem alright to you, but as viewers, we have to take the initiative to find out who the red zerg is, which imo, isnt nice
note to improve :use the players name instead of their colours/race
Also, im not sure if its professional to use the term "toss" ie "the toss is getting his expansion" for such a big event like the GSL. then again, if u have used the player names instead of their race, problem solved.
At the same time, your self marketing is a major concern. your image isnt very nice due to the milkies/fuckslits. how do u reach out to the people outside sea, how do u gain their support/love? there are young kids out there playing SC2 as well, mind you.
Sorry if this sounded harsh, but i do hope u take into regard

Great opportunity for you; congratulations. It is good to see someone flying the flag for our region, especially now that the NASL has been announced. Whether or not your casting brings increased attention to SEA SC2 is neither here nor there; the important thing is that we keep involving ourselves with the rest of the international community if we want to grow. We are never going to have the same pull as the Korean/North American/European scene.
Your casting has taken a bit of getting used to so far (even though I'm from Australia and have several friends from Singapore and Malaysia) and I'll confess that I've joked about your first few casts a bit with my other SC2 friends, but live it up and enjoy the experience of being in the thick of the international game.
The chemistry that Tasteless and Artosis have is something that would be nigh-on impossible to replicate or transcend. Just keep on doing your thing; haters are always going to hate. What anyone thinks is immaterial; the fact is that you have a contract and you're honouring it. It's an added bonus that you're trying to get feedback and are listening to ideas of how to improve and be more accessible to westerners (i.e. the target audience of the English-speaking GSL casting); can't really ask more of anyone than for them to strive for self-improvement.
So why do they call you kelly instead of kellymilkies at Gom? Are you saying you have effectively changed your ID, and if so why is it not changed here?
This is the 3rd or 4th day I hear Kelly cast. So far I think she improved a lot since the 1st day.
I'm fine with her accent (guess because I used to study in Singapore.. feel so sad because I have to play in NA server now). Yea, I agree with some people that sometimes she mispronounce. Professional commentator is a tough job, especially if it's international as people expect a lot from her.
One of my friend streamed HQ GSL today on TL and 700 people watched it (unfortunately it was blocked by GomTV in 3rd game). And the only things they talked are how bad her pronunciation is. Well, at least there're 700 people love her
I have to agree with ricemuncher above.
You do tend to overstate the obvious.
Good effort on the casts, you're no tasteless- But then again he's been doing casting for a hell of a long time.
With time I think you'll make a great caster when you're more relaxed and comfortable.
Her doing an interview with moonglade. Moonglade seems like a pretty decent guy and I wish him the best of luck. Kelly on the other hand is abit awkward at times.
'How do you feel about the initial flaming on TL?' 'I feel very happy about it!!'
'How have you prepared for your code A match on friday? Brian you are like the worst question writer on earth. Of course hes been practicing.'
