Imo Moletrap is a good pick to cast that!
He has Great Knowledge Of the Game and His voice brings the excitement.
I think He Is One of the most enjoyable casters to watch, at least he knows what He is Talking about, which i cannot say about Husky or HD.
Give him a Chance! He deserves it!
Husky and HD are in two different areas. At least husky brings excitment. HD is the worst caster like ever. He's awful. OH MAN HERE COMES A 2 RAX!!! with 12 13 14th scv all qued up in a CC first build.
HD is a joke. Awful.
And how exactly does moletrap 'know about the game'?

well, this is kind of a dream come true for me! i will finaly be able to watch broodwar with an english comentator, and actually understand what is hapening. as for the sc2 games, if his casting is worse than i remember, i will probably switch to the korean stream.
many new sc2 players(me being one of them) will have a reason to watch bw, and might actually understand and like it if he can explain the games on a simple level.

I don't like to bash casters because I like to think they all work hard at what they do, but please don't bring Moletrap back. He might get better with more time but the mecca of SC2 tourneys is not the place. GL to him though.

Man x.x Moletrap is so nice but I just cant stand the dude as a caster.
|
I've been watching SC2 since the beta, and Moletrap is the only caster who forces me to mute the stream during his casts.

You guys are being way too harsh. Moletrap is a top 3 caster. He has a lot of insight of Starcraft 2. he knows the metagame very well. His calls are 99.9999% spot on. His analytical skills can be compared to Artosis, Apollo, Day9, etc. He has a golden broadcasting voice. I wouldn't be surprised if Moletrap is top 16 GM in Korea with random.
Edit: He has TONS of passion for the game. You can tell because of how excited he got; especially in that one Code A game where BoxeR nuked the Protoss.

Plz no Moletrap, his voice is like Justin Bieber to me. Like teenager that hasn't hit puberty yet.
|
Well, I'm not really sure how should I vote.
When Moletrap casted Code A I stopped watching it, I simply couldn't stand the quality of his cast. He has no knowledge of the game or understanding of really basic things.
On the other hand, he does a good job at OGN casting LOL. Maybe if he learned more about SC2 and put some effort in getting better at casting it wouldn't be such a bad idea. I also don't really see any other casters that could do it.
Apollo has a lot of work in EU, Rotterdam is doing Razer Academy, same goes for MrBitter.
Day9 is Day9, Husky ain't that level I guess.
TB doesn't really know SC2.
InControl? That would be cool. Also someone mentioned Grubby, great idea.
Maybe some other foreigners that are in Korea right now? ToD?

Isnt Moletrap busy casting LoL or have I just misread?

This ain't Moletrap, just a non-biased, objective person who can look past superficial values and see the great caster that he is. 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.

I don't have anything aganist the guy itself, but i think as a caster, there are many better casters out there.

Moletrap was like gold last time I saw him stream?? You overrate him a ton imo. He doesn't have a good casting voice either. And that he called that they would send out Ryung might have been a coincidence, pretty weird that that makes someone a good caster maybe he knows the Korean scene I give you that Mr Unbiased...

When trolling meets hyperbole?
There's no possible way you could substantiate any of those claims. And that scrub is platinum league by the way.

This thread is already a piece of s**** but I guess it was expected... Anyway, I think Moletrap is actually one of the few people that would be able to cast a broodwar/starcraft 2 hybrid league. He lacks a bit of charisma, but Torch can make up for it.
I'm happy for the guy, casting a broodwar game for OGN must be a dream come true for him.

I really don't understand why this community has to bash great casters like Moletrap and HD. I think for the SC2 seasons that OGN are doing, they should hire HD and Moletrap. Both have extensive knowledge and understanding of both BW and SC2. Like Artosis said, there really isn't that many people who know both BW and SC2. The only people are Moletrap and HD because they both have experience, dedication, and skill. Both of these people know what they are talking about when casting more so than most other casters in the world. They are on par with Artosis, Apollo, Day9 in terms of game knowledge and analysis. Hater's gonna hate I guess.

There's a difference, between
(a) Moletrap happens to be the only available and willing person capable of casting BW and SC2 for OGN.
and
(b) on par with Artosis, Apollo and Day9 in terms of game knowledge.
One gets you the job because you're the only choice, the other gets you the job because you're good.
You honestly believe, if Day9 and Artosis applied Moletrap would stand a chance?
|
LOL I guess OGN doesn't really care about the foreigner scene if this guy gets the job. Please send over day9 or someone of similar quality, thanks!
|
hey moletrap have fun casting LoL cus you ain't coming back here! (LoL)
also not TB :D

Quoted for falsity. If you think Moletrap and HD have good enough game knowledge to satisfy paying customers you are dead wrong. Honestly your standards are too low, it's too bad there are probably so many unknown casters that are great but don't get much spotlight.
