Very one-side. A lot of drops from fantasy, microing 3 places at the same time with good macro, NesTea couldn't handle the multitasking and just gave up and had a terrible final engagement losing a load of banelings with no trade.

Think MMA in his prime against Zerg.

In what promises to be the biggest most-hyped tournament in a long time....and they get Moletrap to commentate the English stream. Sigh


what is wrong with Moletrap?


He has little game knowledge.
He frequently misses obvious occurrences in game "He has no infestation pit" as we see Infestors being made in the production tab.
His sense of humor doesn't fit with many viewers.
He frequently interrupts his co-casters (obviously not a problem today).

I will be watching the Korean cast despite not understanding any Korean because I don't see the point of listening to Moletrap. He doesn't add anything to the cast for me. I feel like I pick up on what is happening in the game better than he does.

He also criticizes players often for obviously mechanical errors (I don't know why he's not doing x) and says what they should be doing (and he's often wrong)


He did that just now too, I can't remember the instance, but it seems like he has nothing to say, so even when someone loses a zergling he wants to point out that it was a terrible mistake to lose that zergling, instead of saying that zergling loss was well worth it because of the scouting information gained or whatever.

I don't like him as much as other people, I really hope OGN snipes some good casters and that Moletrap never casts ANYTHING relevant ever again.

A steamroll . Actually that was my most predicted result . Nestea was good and all in the past , but the level of play has risen so much that i don't think that we will see him win anything else with his sloppy mechanics . Nice showing from Fantasy .

But if Grubby went to cast OSL he could also train by playing the korean ladder (the best practice there is). I don't think casting OSL takes that much time :o

I must admit that its kind of nice to be able to watch the entire show in just around 90-120 minutes. As much as I want the system to be fair for the players, its not practical to have to dedicate half your day to the show. The GSL shows sometimes takes up to 4 hours and i promise myself to just watch a few games but always end up watching the whole thing, while irl responsibilities suffer.

Most impressive performance today was Fantasys play imo.


The players have at least a week between games. With a week to prep for a single player on a single map, Bo1 isn't an issue. If you fuck up, it's your fault. It also creates more tension, because every single game matters.

And, going from 4 games a day to 8-12 wouldn't really be viable when you broadcast on tv.

The tricky thing though is not many qualified to cast such important matches are willing to move to Korea. I totally would move there, but I'm just as bad as Moletrap when it comes to commentating. So I can't hate him for taking an opportunity that good casters don't want. With so many foreign tournies now casting in Korea is no longer "the dream".

8-12 games starting from 7:30 PM.... nope I would want to cast that.

What I said has nothing to do with his reputation. MMA was good at SC2 a year ago, Fantasy is new to SC2 and that game looked like an old MMA game, that was what I was comparing it too.

Edit ^^ nvm :D

Back from work, I missed the first day. Couldn't find vods on the first page and didn't really want to browse the whole forum due to spoilers. Can someone please tell me if there're any vods available (and where :D)? Free or subscription does not matter.

Well in bw it could have happened that multiple tvts come up. That can end in 4 hours broadcast as well even in a bo1. In sc2 that won't happen making bo3 really the best choice, otherwise you can end up with a 30 minute show and have to fill in to much. But they will find out ^^.
