They already have people of similar quality. Their names are Torch and Moletrap. But I would not mind HD replacing Torch as not only is HD a better caster than Torch but better than Day9 or Artosis.

Dear god please no. Please, please no. I hated having to stop watching Code A when he was casting and I am really looking forward to this...Please god no. nooooo ;(.
|
Most likely just watch korean cast. :/ I like moletrap just not his casting.
|
Come on, Moletrap is now casting LoL and LoL>SC2 in Korea. LoL viewers are also large outside Korea too. I don't like his casting in SC2 but his LoL casting is one of the best, so I don't think Moletrap will be casting SC2 so just chill.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
|
i want korean casts with english subtitle dat would be awesome
|
If it ultimately happens, honestly what I'm hoping for is that some caster or pro player would stream his audio while watching the game.
That way I could just have both streams on, mute the OGN stream while it doesn't violate any restream restrictions.

I feel deep pity for Moletrap. The amount of jumping on the bandwagon of hatred people have done to this guy is atrocious. Give him a chance. If he's serious about doing a good job, he would have practised and improved a lot since leaving GOM

Which similar quality commentator to Day9 is:
1) not tied down to other organizations (Tastosis) 2) knows both BW and SC2
That basically eliminates everyone notable besides Moletrap and Apollo

But there's no way his SC2 knowledge has improved while casting LoL.

Really, he just sound difference and delightful in LoL. He should stay with LoL since its is bigger in Korea anyway.

You forgot about HD.

As pointed ot on State of the Game I think he's perfect for the first season. Just cause he can both cast Sc2 & BW.

He's with IGN

Moletrap started off pretty horrible in BW as a caster but imho became pretty dang good, at least I enjoyed watching his videos on youtube back in the day . Give him some time to learn the game better and his casting will improve . Then again I was not watching the Gom streams in question that everyone " raged on him " for in the first place .
Still if Kespa was going to do both BW and SC2 the point Artosis made about needing caster's that can do both is more than qualified

Well if OGN pays him more, he should leave IGN. They both sound similar anyway. A little typo could turn IGN into OGN and vice versa. But I digress. He belongs with OGN because OnGameNet only hires elite casters. He is a top 5 caster, people love him why not hire HD?

I agree, he improved profusely at BW casting over time
|
I REALLY hope he is done with the SC2 community. He got driven away from GOM, hopefully OGN see's that and won't bring him back, but I truly hope the LoL community is liking him. Seems like a nice guy, just a terrible SC2 caster.

Tasteless and Artosis will probably be available to cast both GSL and OGN.
The Korean's know those two are just as popular as Starcraft itself in the West, they have ALOT of pulling power when it comes to this audience.
I imagine GSL will begin to slow down to accommodate OGN's OSL and Proleague, similar to their setup with the MSL before it. Actually, if presented with the choice between GSL and OSL, Id say the pair would follow the money to OGN, especially Artosis who hasnt got as strong (long running) relationship with GOM as Tasteless does.
This could be the one thing that splits up Tasteless and Artosis, because I have a feeling Artosis will be casting on OGN no matter what happens.

Why would they want Tastosis if they have a better caster in Moletrap?
