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.
Artosis has said on SOTG that none of the GOM casters have plans to leave GOM for OGN.

I havent seen SOTG yet, interesting, gonna have to hear it but thats not a denial of any sort.
OGN likely hasnt made any offers yet and with the first sign of serious competition for GOM in the starcraft 2 world, this is a great opportunity for all the English casters over there to negotiate better wages and earn a better living.
However if Kespa and GOM agree to spread out their tournaments and share casters/resources salaries will likely remain unaffected.

This is a pointless thread and nothing productive can come out of it. I do hope that major casters and the SOTG hosts make fun of this thread. Has no content other than it's poll since the OP has zero information to offer. What will be accomplished with this thread? It seems pretty clear to me that the OP is probably not in favor of moletrap and created the thread knowing that the poll would be heavily against him. What is the purpose of us having a giant poll denouncing moletrap when there is no realistic alternative for the short term? Do you want OGN to kidnap someone who does well in a TL poll and force him to cast for them? Who do you propose as an alternative to moletrap?

Do you remember that GSTL game between SlayerS and FXOpen where Oz was on a tear and nobody thought SlayerS would send out Ryung but Moletrap. Then Cella sent out Ryung and all the haters had to shut the fuck up. Moletrap knows more than you will ever about Starcraft.
that right call doesnt make up for 98% of the time when he called wrong builds, wrong strats, wrong moves, wrong results, wrong players, all wrong everything. Or the other time when he tried to mimic that one terribad song over and over again that made 99% of the viewers believe that human being shouldnt be born with hearing organs. Dont get me wrong, I usually enjoy most casters (HD, Jp,Husky included), although they make mistakes here and there quite often. But theres no one that is uniquely absurd like him.
Sad memories are sad.

Moletrap has stated that GOM made him choose either GOM or OGN, and as we all know, he picked OGN.

I would prefer the Korean broadcast over Moletrap.
|
i hope ogn makes their korean content available to people outside of korea.
|
Thank god I developed immunity against his high pitch voice and how he called players messing up scrubs. But still, god damn it!

If Moletrap casts i will watch a korean restream.

You are so unbelievably biased and you have so much anger in you. Mob mentality at it's finest in this thread. Someone in a previous mentioned that I overrate Moletrap. Well guess what? The things I listed above were all underrated qualities of him. He's not a top 3 caster, he's a top 1 caster. People just can't get over the fact that there exist a caster that is better than Artosis or Day 9 or whoever. You and a lot of other people are in so much denial it's atrocious.

He specifically said that if OGN/Kespa gave him an offer to cast for them he wouldn't accept.

Imo, Moletrap should just be banned from casting. He's horrid.
User was temp banned for this post.

Just stop. We get you're on moletrap's nuts. Are you just some diehard fan, or a family member? Or Moletrap himself?

Didn't really expect differently. Tasteless and Artosis have worked for Gom for years and years now, if they had a reason to leave i'm sure they would have years ago.

I kinda feel sad about Moletrap giving how many people here are showing direct disgust of possibility that he gets job with OGN together with how guys on SotG behaved when he got mentioned. :/

To put it in Moletraps words: "Oh noooooooooooooooooooo"

Ofc they say that. Doesn't mean things cannot change in the future. Regardless you guys have many options out there if you want to really see the games.

1. In jest
2. Isn't that true for typically any fanboy?
Give me a break.

Just ignore this guy. Obvious troll is obvious.

Moletrap knows the BW scene, most SC2 casters don't know much about it. He is actually a great choice for a transition caster. He always does his homework on players and he can help share the BW player's legacys to the SC2 scene.
