I am officially retiring the GSL Casters Fan Club. I think it's time Khaldor and Wolf respectively recieve their own fan clubs.
Thomas "Khaldor" Kilian
Birthday: August 15, 1981
Who is Khaldor? If you just asked this question, GTFO! I'm serious..... This HANDSOME/BUFF man is a BALLLER caster for the GSL. He casts Code A/GSTL/Up&Downs along with his trusty teammate Wolf almost every week, and he does every cast like a baws. But oh no my friends, he doesn't just stop there. He casted for KSL as well and he's casted for tons of foreign events! How many? Take a look at this:

This should convince you that this dude is nothing short of an absolute baws. (And look how buff he is Oo) Khaldor continues to cast for the GSL to this day, and let me tell you, GSL wouldn't be GSL without Khaldor!
This section is dedicated specifically for the fans to see Khaldor's pet peeves/information Khaldor wants you to know/information relevenat pertaining to Khaldor.
Most of us do not realize how much Khaldor casts for us. He shared stories with me about casts he's had to do and it blew my mind. There were times where he literally (and I mean literally) casted all day and had to grab 2 hours of sleep in intervals. This dude is a fucking baws,
Do NOT ask Khaldor how much he can bench, I personally talked to him, and he thinks anyone who asks him this question is an idiot, Bench pressing is NOT how you determine someone's work out regime or how strong someone is.
Do NOT ask Khaldor what the name of the song during the break time for GSL is. He will punch you.
Do NOT tweet Khaldor insults or retarded messages. He'll just block you and then you'll NEVER find out any more new information regarding Khaldor and his activies. (and then you'll just have a bunch of people laughing at you)

There's a bar/club where women get free entry and some drinks on thursdays. They also offer this to all the guys that dress up as girls So at one point about 20 of the guys who stayed at the hostel I lived at that time went for it xD Was actually one of the funniest nights out I ever had
Thx to Seeker by the way for creating this fanclub! Also a big thank you to all you guys supporting me, I really appreciate it!

"Until the very, very top, in almost anything all that matters, is how much work you put in. The only problem is that most people can't work hard even at things they do enjoy, much less things they don't have a real passion for." - Greg "IdrA" Fields
I still remember first time tuning into Khaldor stream...
It was Assembly (or other Skandynavian tournament). English cast for this event was terrible. Or maybe it was also laggy? I think I remember that there was consensus in community that casters were bad.
Anyway that made me look for other streams. With LT calendar it was pretty easy, aye? So there is german stream. I don't understand german - good, I will not understand caster (usually casters doesn't have anything smart to say anyway right? play-by-play is not required, and I usually analize game better then them*), while still hearing caster voice let me feel better tension of the game.
There is but one more problem. I hate german. I had to learn it in high school, but still don't understand even a tiny bit. The only dose of german I can stand listening is via Ramstein.
So I tune into stream of some bald german, and... it is a blast. I would never expected that, but listening to german caster was soooo much better then just muting a stream. Khaldor, altho I did not understand what he said, added so much value to stream and whole tournament.
Since then he is one of my favourite casters, purely of fact that I can listen him casting games in german Sign me up plz
Bonus: If you want to experience Khaldor casting in his native language (from WCG final Moon vs Grubby)
(I hope it's casted by Khaldor, can't check right now )
*talking about "community" casters, casting mostly online tournaments, most of them faded away by now

Sign me up!
Also, google image search Khaldor and you'll find Vin Diesel, Natalie Portman and this.
Khaldor is a very good caster, he is very nice and interact as much as possible with viewers. Moreover he allways have a positive attitude and provide a lot to the community.
