Not sure what the point of the poll is, but as Artosis also said, who else would you get? Someone that is willing to move to Korea and stay there. Someone that knows both Starcraft 1 and Starcraft 2. Someone that has lots of experience casting. It'd be pretty hard to find someone. Someone that knows alot about sc2. Someone that does not have an irritating voice. Someone that does not interrupt his co-caster .Someone that is at least a little charismatic. I agree that this is not easy, but I would be sad to see a "lesser choice" being chosen because there is "nothing else".. (edit : and I would not pay anything for that. In comparison I spent 200$+ on gom already, including the ticket for the whole 2012 year..)
This whole thread and your posts are basing everything off of nothing. We love GOM... but get ready to have GOM be a second rate league when OGN gets going. As I've already said, I'm simply glad they will even acknowledge the foreign audience. Let's give them a chance before breaking out the pitchforks.

Id suggest that they do a deal with GOM and share casters when they aren't busy. Other than that id say they should find someone awesome like Apollo or some of the other casters like Axel and bring them over to do it. Id hate if they have horrible casting. Actually id nearly stream audio of myself casting (not the video since that is wrong) if they do use moletrap.
taht doesnt benefit gom at all, and they wouldnt have gotten more casters then tastosis if they had time on there hands

Does this really deserve its own thread?
Anyways, Moletrap is pretty good. I'd much rather have an average SC2 caster than someone who has absolutely no clue about BW, and don't fool yourself, that IS the alternative.

Pay Day9 and Husky all the money in the world to go out to Korea and cast this! they could probably get Husky (hard to say havent seem at an event for a while so maybe hes not interested in full time casting) but no way they could get Day[9] to give up the Day[9] daily, besides is that the publicity they want? "hey SC2 scene, its us KeSPA, remember us? to show how much we love the community we jsut killed the AHGL and the Day[9] Daily!!!!"
I think Day9 is actually better at commentating than at analyzing games.

what does that have to do with Kespa killing the most popular SC2 show?
he can commentate on the side at MLGs and stuff but he cant do OGN and the daily

No, no, no, no, PLEASE NO !
I hope TorcH cast some sc2 for OGN 
|
I just can't imagine an event of Proleague's magnitude and significance being commentated by Moletrap. 
Didn't Assem do some casting for GOM? Get him.
|
I'd rather watch it with Korean commentary than listen to Moletrap's casting.
|
I don't know how much they know about sc2 but it might be worth looking at the current bw casters like nukethestars to see if they could go to Korea.
I wonder if it would be possible to have the official english caster not be in korea and just send them the video feed to stream it themselves on twitch. At least until they find someone who can move there.
|
Day9 won't do it 100%. I really doubt Husky's going to move to Korea permanently to cast for a long duration. I think Grubby would be a good choice for caster if they can convince him to do full time casting. It'd be his real debut and I feel that he would become immediately popular in the casting scene.
|
If so, then let him solo-cast like in the GSL Code A preliminaries (some months ago iirc) for when he does. He was way better without a co-commentator.
|
pointless thread. Not like there are heaps of english casters who are willing to live in korea fulltime.

The problem with grubby is he is a wc3 guy. How would he handle the broodwar games that are going to be half of the summer proleague?

He has casting experience in both BW and SC2; as well as experience in Korea in general. I don't see them changing him (if indeed he casts now, which is most likely) at least until October when they plan SC2-only PL.
I wonder why this is even a surprise, I saw it coming on the first day of his cast for OGN LoL, even before officially leaving GOM. I was telling people that it's very likely that he'll cast SC2 again when OGN come along. Smart career move by him.
As for the vocal lynch group against him - I've never seen sufficient arguments of substance that can't be said about other major SC2 casters too; so I had to conclude the root cause was strong resentment of his personality and voice.

Doesn't affect me because I will watch the Korean broadcast if available, if there will no longer be a Korean broadcast offered to the foreign community then I will be upset though.
Pretty sure the English broadcast will be on Twitch, while the Korean broadcast will be through ESPORTSTV on YouTube.

Please no moletrap. I know a lot of people can stand moletrap, but please get a caster that majority of the people like. and more accepted by the public.
Maybe work with GOM closely and get Tastosis to cast all the GAMES!!! otherwires, HDH, day9, djweat would be cool too.
Moletrap has this weird high pitch screaming that really bothers me.
|
I just wish the option to watch in korean is there. If that is the case then no problem with moletrap because there is an alternative.
If only the english stream is available then.......I will be a sad panda, no matter who the caster would be (almost).
|
I'd rather watch the Korean cast, than watch Moletrap to be honest. A company like OGN should have enough money to get one of the top duo's out there.
|
I actually think he's a great choice for the upcoming "mixed" season. He knows SC1 very well and he knows SC2 pretty well too. Aside from Tastosis, who are tied up with GOM, I don't think there's really any other reasonable choice for OGN to make.
