She wasn't casting LoL... she was interviewing players at IEM after their matches. And even then, she commentated HoN/DotA before SC2, it's hardly different.
Apart that they are complete douchebags, it highlights the fact that it may not be easy for a women to work in a (premature) male world. I think she needs brain-equipped people support. Go Milkies!
P.S: what's wrong with her accent anyway? (i am french = worst accent of the world)
Thing is the Singlish accent is a lot harder to understand than the french accent for people who've never heard it. Lucky for them they didn't get a rural Welsh accent ^^.
To be honest this is the result of poor organising from the ESL. They should have gotten someone who knows the game (unless Kelly does play LoL and knows about it quite a bit, in which case no offence^^)
It makes zero sense to employ somebody who isn't absolutely fluent (pronunciation and knowledge) in a language to publicly speak in that language. But she's here now, and once somebody is wedged in as a "somebody" in esports they're sticking around for awhile.
It's hard to tell whether there are legitimate concerns, trolling, misogyny or all of the above. My only concern is that every post match interview she conducts she loves to tell the player all the mistakes they made. Explicitly.

Not fair that they're judging her on her LoL work. She's a good SC2 caster, and a nice person too.
And just at some of their comments, i know you're supposed to know most of the players from the teams if you're going to be doing the interviews... but seriously... with 1/3/5 players on every LoL team, thats on average 3x the amount of names that you have to remember and a lot more teams.
Plus with all the sc2 knowledge, who has the time to think about LoL?
hmm wasn't me or kelly. might be because of database transition when host moving. We couldn't back up that new host DB and lost all the posts for that one day.
