While we're here, whatever happened to Klazart? One of my fave all time casters, excellent and insightful analysis.

Klazart was an incredible caster. Last I heard, his wife was giving him a hard time for dedicating time to SC instead of his writing career. No idea about Moletrap, though. Guess I haven't missed him.

All of the casters of the foreign scene left bw in 2008-2009 like , moletrap, diggity, greth, nukethestars, ranshin, rise, and never came back to the scene. sucks cus i think the korean pros were aware that america was watching what they do and it made from better match play for people to watch. Now english speaking bw players or fans have to suffer through artosis or tasteless shitty analysis and unspirited efforts from the boys of korea. its a shame really. possibly its related to the death of sc2gg.com and most of the real people behind these online personalities entering their late 20's/ 30s an stopped caring cause it does take some time and effort to cast bw games.

Klazart, diggity, moletrap, cholera, nukethestars...

What I liked about klazart is I felt he was like a Korean caster but in English lol. He spoke really fast and when games got crazy he got crazy as well

Moletrap went to cast sc2 in korea, was hated by almost all viewers. He left gom and did some stuff with OGN for a while. But that must have been like 3-4 years ago now, I don't know what he is up to now.

I do not want to share too much as I respect people's privacy so I'll just give brief blurbs of what I last heard about most of the YouTube casters from back in my time casting. I still have contact with some of them.

Klazart left to focus on his writing. Diggity was the one who had last contact with him I think.

Moletrap is currently living in California. He misses casting. He's found another line of work I believe.

Diggity is focusing on his work career and his family.

Cholera became a lawyer back pre-2010'ish I believe.

Not sure where Nuke went his last video is only 5 months old. I'm sure he's still around.

Vaul is a ? for me as well. He was around and then suddenly was not anymore.

Greth is still putting out stuff.

Klazart was the best one, followed by diggity. I never liked Moletrap that much, cholera was ok.

He went to SC2, got flamed, and left the scene.

Cholera was my favorite, but i actually remember Rise (FBH fan ftw!) casting that cheesy KDS Kwanro vs Mind finals in 2015

Didn't mind moletrap, was subscribed to him on youtube when he was active in BW.
Cholera was good.

If you guys have ever seen Klazart's last video he sounds so tired. I'd definitely say though he was one of the most colorful casters with his background in writing.

I remember thinking he had just been crying or something tbh, but that was years ago

Klazart and diggity were the best. Klazart was the closest we had to Korean commentators in terms of intensity and passion. Though later on (2010?) you could tell that he was not following the scene very closely any more and he was not up to date.

But I did enjoy watching moletrap and cholera's commentaries too.

I really enjoyed Cholera and Greth, for vastly different reasons. Nuke did some cool hype videos for starleagues + Show Spoiler +

though I felt his casting was aimed at more of an entry-level audience. Klazart was fun to listen to and a massive Savior fanboy, so that might have also contributed to him leaving casting behind.
