this.

khaldor just ruined round of 8 code s  by constantly talking, I mean he never even stops to breath.

tasteless barely had any chance to even speak today, someone needs to tell him to CHILL.  Casting does not mean that you have to constantly talk.

another thing that should be said, this negative casting is even more annoying, harping on every single mistake a player makes.

OK, some people just need to get a life.  There is no merit to this post whatsoever, nor to the few ludicrous comments in and amongst the real comments below.  Of course nothing can come close to the Tastosis casting archon and I doubt we will ever see anyone do any better.  However, what? We want another Tastosis duo for Code A?  The world is about VARIETY people! And it is nice to have a change when watching the Code A.  Wolf and Khaldor have a different casting relationship which is still great and has its unique qualities.  Khaldor is superb at analysis, he seems to be always available since i have never seen him late or miss a schedule and he gets dirty with statistics which many try to shy away from but I want to hear those statistics, they give great insight!

And what was that silly comment about him getting too excited over tense moments in the game??? I mean c'mon, what you'd rather have a monotonous caster casually remarking that marines just happened to have picked a good moment to sneak into a base and are ripping it to shreds??? Of course you want them to get excited, and a good commentator does, it creates even more tension, it brings me even more into the moment. What boring fool wants a standard cast in moments like that.

Oh, and there was some complaint about his use of swear words while casting. Well sure he does let them slip here and there but its only minor ones, he doesnt use the F word.  And in European countries (except England) they dont see these words anywhere near as bad as America and England. I have been these places and they play dirty versions of songs on the radio uncensored midday.  Nudity is no biggy either.  Im just saying the culture is more liberal and less prude.  Lets not get our knickers in a twist over the occasional sh*t or p*ss which to be fair, is used in what I would call suitable places lol. I mean its not like he uses these words for the sake of them like some rudeboy wannabe.

I like the Khaldor - Wolf casting relationship, it is banter without being too disagreeable and it can be funny and sometimes not, which actually, dare I say it, can also be the case with Tastosis (although unfunny moments are indeed very rare with them) but still c'mon give them a break, they do a great job and analyse with such precision the situation, scenarios, the builds and show good knowledge, Khaldor in particular with this, of the two.

Man, there was some other dumb comment about Khaldor over analysing pointing out every mistake and comment goes further to say that the players are only human and will make mistakes.... Well of course!! We know that, but we still want to know every mistake they make under analysis from the casters for every one they can pick up on, it helps us understand the game that little bit better and it helps improve our game that little bit better. How can you critisize a caster for picking up on too many mistakes from a player???

Sheeesh!! what is up with some people in this world??

Khaldor is an excellent caster and thats it.

Artosis>Tasteless->Khaldor->Wolf->others so far

Tastosis are perfect when they cast together but Khaldor and Wolf don't fit each other. Wolf seems confused sometimes like he would just say so it wouln't be silence while Khaldor seem to understand builds and try track game more into depth.

I think Khaldor deserves better casting arcon. Wolf is tryyyyyyyyyying too much sometimes and it often don't work as well. I  got feeling Khaldor saves him many times by his focus on game. Wolf is like random talking and then speech don't turn out well. 

I don't mind Wolf for Code A since I don't watch it. But in code S and in Up and Down Khaldor should have someone else to co host with Day9. Pleeeeeease ... I would love to see him casting.

I would also love Artosis casting with Day9 ...at least onceeeeeee. Or maybe at least Tasteless...or like Korean casters does: have 3 Cooooooolest casters same time!!! Omg pleaseeeee GOMTV put Tastosis+Day9 please please pleaseeeeeeeee.. <3

Sure you may be right that he like sc2 alot. Are you a kid in high school or something? Have you ever worked before? Khaldor is WORKING. This is his job and hes doing a SHITTY job about it. You can have all the passion in the world for sc2 but if you are not doing your job well theres no point. You think when you are working your boss cares about your passion? sorry bro in reality its results that speaks its best. Khaldor is still casting because a few reasons and one is mainly because hes in charge of the GOM house for foreigner.

Tasteless vs Khaldor as co-caster

sry but tasteless is still definately better then khaldor. he dont scream like an idiot. he knows he dont have the observer seat and always ask Artosis to check things out and it is actually good information for the viewers because its not shown on screen (e.g how many xxx he has etc etc...). He dont talks in super long sentence in 1 breath filling us with nothing but things we can see on stream. Tasteless knows how to entertain the viewers. Best of all, hes the only one that can make artosis go crazy.

Khaldor was great when he first joined and hes getting himself too comfortable and getting worse.Hes not near moletrap yet but i can see the gap closing with every cast. One more thing to add, "This is what we talked about earlier." sentence is always being heared from him at least 10times everycast(trust me and go count) as if hes predicted everything before the cast. Maybe he should seriously go be a fortune teller after all.

Khaldor is freaking unbelievably amazing. I must admit I did not like him much from the beginning, but he really grew on me.

He LOVES SC2 so much and has such a strong passion for it that this in itself makes him an incredible caster. You always know you're going to get real feelings when you listen to him.

In my opinion Tasteless has completely lost his passion for SC2 and doesn't even know the names of players sometimes, I find it really annoying that it is your one and only job to cast Code S and you can't even remember who is playing.. like seriously? He almost always states the most obvious things and when games are about to become "GG", obviously its going to be GG, we don't need a confirmation. ARGH. Tasteless the one guy I can compare Khaldor to because I much prefer Khaldor over Tasteless, purely over his knowledge of the game and being kept up to date with the game.

For me, Khaldor is the epitome of what an SC2 Caster should represent. Surely his accent is not the best, but he can't help that. His sheer love for the game and knowledge for the races (especially Zerg) far extends many other crappy casters out there that I have seen who are just doing it because they have it.

You see Khaldor WANTS to cast games, he WANTS series to go to the last game and is always shattered to see that a seris ends in a striaght 3-0 or 5-0. That to me made me fall in love with Khaldor and his passion.

Ignore these trolls Khaldor. You're doing a brilliant job.

I very dislike it when he raises his voice during fights only to mention obvious actions over a long long time. He also keeps saying stuff like "there are no collossus around" but you can clearly see on one screen, or "killing every single hellion" when the player only manage to destroy barely two and the rest escape without a problem. In this situations he NEVER corrects himself and he is doing it over and over again.

Its really a shame that i have to mute the sound over most parts of the games, cause Wolf making a fantastic job. Very enjoyed his solo cast  he have done not too long ago (was it code S?). In my opinion he and the cast itself doing much better without Khaldor.

I made the mistake of buying a GSTL pass after watching a game where Tasteless was filling in for him. Now I'm worried that they think I like his casting. I wont be spending money on team league again :(

Some of my complaints include:

Constantly talking, like he feels he has to be saying something while rising the pitch of his voice even if it's uninteresting, unnecessary, or just plain uneducated (if they pay you money to do this, you should probably know more about the game than I do). I really don't need someone yelling incorrect information at me. I want to watch these matches, but if I don't take off my headphones I feel like punching someone.

Especially when the game is clearly over. I've seen a few matches already where there clearly should already have been a GG, but he's talking about it suspenseful like it's still neck and neck.

He also refers to both players as "he" even when talking about them both in the same sentence. This is super confusing and annoying. Or he'll say "the <teamname> player", which is better. But seriously, if you do this as a job, learn to use their handles. Maybe just write them on post-its and stick them to your monitor.

totally hate it when khaldor bitches about the things why players never do. "Why is he not doing this?" and "Why is he not doing that?" kind of sentences coming from a caster is totally unacceptable. Hes saying this quite frequently. Seriously, tell him to try doing the thing he mention sitting in the booth. He thinks that the players have the observer view like him and can see totally what their opponents are doing at the moment.

respect for wolf able to cast with khaldor. khaldor talks like 80% of the time not because wolf dont talk much but this guy is not letting him talk and he talks in SUPERLONG SENTENCES. No chance at all for wolf to talk and everyone knows its rude to interupt people while they are talking. Hes also saying stuff that is on stream that we can see. so much for being captain obvious. screams like a maniac when big battle happens. I can just imagine how much worse it will be if hes taking the observer seat.

Still better then moletrap but i can really see him catching up or even surpassing him if this continues. Cant help but think that anyone here can do a much better job then him. Think about this. Hes so irritating enough that someone had actually created a thread about him.

There are lots of different opinions. For instance I think that his tondem with Wolf is very good and I can't imagine Code A without them.

What disturbes me, is that STBomberjuice's post is very opinionated and bares nothing constructive. It simply reads that you don't like him (sorry, but world doesn't revolve around you).

There has been quite a lot of hate around Kaldor, and very little constructive criticism. Just sounds that people had enough of him..

From my point of view:

1) He should be careful with swearing during air time

I strongly disagree with some posters here who said that he shouldn't talk about his personal life, soccer, etc. This is just selfish comments of some ignorant individuals. Casters - are people and not some mindless puppets. It is interesting to know about them. On the other hand, everything has to be done in moderate way.

Thnx,

PS: Khaldor if you read all this, I'm sure you understand that you are quite a personality and involved in something big as GSL. Hence, all the attention (not neccesarily good one, but I'm sure you have plenty of both). Keep up the good work.

The interaction between him and Wolf is really off putting, the way he talks Wolf down, and disrespects everything he says or likes (everytime Wolf says "I like X, what about you?" you can bet your money Khaldor will say something like "are you kidding me, it's crap!"). 

I really feel for Wolf to be honest, he takes it without ever complaining, and Khaldor takes it as a sign that he's ok with being treated like crap when he's just being too polite to tell him to fck off.

It's not entirely Khaldors fault though. I'm Austrian and I have a lot of german friends that are exactly like him. So I'm guessing it's a german thing.

Nevertheless he should really work on his attitude and stop with the swearing. I don't know why he does it, maybe he thinks it's cool somehow, but the swearing really has to stop! I would love for Starcraft II or III or maybe XI?! to one day compete with traditional sports and swearing is not the way to go about it!
