I don't get why so many perople are hating Kelly so much. She broadcasted... 10, 12 games? IMO she did a good job with her commentary, and even if her english isn't "American" you can understand it, its not like she isn't speaking english, its just a different accent.

I never saw Moletrap, but I'd love to see a different set of casters for code A and code S, especially when one of the main casters has a flu or something like that - think about Artosis - and having different casters for each will just be a increase to the proffesionalism.

gl for moletrap to make into it.

While its freaking cool that another caster is getting sent out, moletrap is probably the only caster I cant stand besides klazart.

good luck, still hoping for klazart. Someone described him as having insanely high wpm which is so funny and true :D

Great , Gom taking the right decision and replacing kelly next season. GL.

Where did they say that?

God damn people, even if you have the most raging hatred for Kelly, you can still at least read the OP / posts...jumping on the RARARAR HATE KELLY GTFO BLEEEH when the article has nothing to do with Kelly leaving or getting replaced...well, I shouldn't have to tell you how dumb that is.

This is like the most annoying thing to ever happen on TL.

It's even worse than a room full of rabid bisu fanboys. D:

Hmm, So is Moletrap taking Kelly's place or Tasteless' ? I'm going to assume Tasteless'..

Should be interesting, I kind of stopped watching code A due to the quality of games / casts however I wish moletrap the best, he was one of my favorite youtube casters along with cholera and diggity.

Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand the guy has a lot of experience and 'paid his dues' casting bw for a while out of love for the game but on the other I find my deep hate for all youtube casters, regardless of ability. Someone has to cast though and I guess it's better him than a number of others I could think of. Best of luck.

KwarK why do you hate youtube casters?

Oooh I really hope moletrap does well and gets a job as a caster. Reading through some of the posts here it seems like he wasn't that good when he first started, but let me assure you that he has since improved leaps and bounds. Definitely one of the most exciting commentators out there and he is very knowledgeable about bw. Haven't heard his SC2 casts but hopefully his skills have translated over well. His mousy voice can be off-putting at first but you get used to it after a while and it becomes part of his charm. Go Moletrap!

Gratz to Moletrap, but honestly I don't really enjoy his casting because he tends to wander off topic a lot and he just doesn't really know what he's saying most of the time.

Wow, I remember before HDH in SC2 it was Moletrap, Rise, Diggity, Cholera, and all those sc2gg guys casting BW. So epicccc. I love that he still commentates BW games to this day

PS: I don't think he's replacing kelly, they'll probably rotate these code A casters in to commentate with tastosis then eventually ween them off of tastosis completely so that we have a rotation of code A casters, adn Tastosis dealing with code S

Thats just my thought.

I can't believe some people don't like Moletrap's casting.
I like him because:

1) He makes me feel the adrenaline during battles, 100% of the time, he gets so excited that it passes his enthusiasm to the viewers.
2) I love when he goes off topic. Cmon, first 5 minutes there's really nothing to talk about, specially on bw when everything has been said.
3) He did really good casting couples with Diggity, Rice.
4) He knows about the game from the player, the gamer, perspective, nothing too analytical.
5) Ocassionanly he has those "oh crap" moments which I personally find amusing and funny. One recently I remember: During OSL semifinals (Fantasy vs Calm), "SIEGE THE TANKS!!".

That being said, I think he needs to improve his sc2 knowedge/game sense. Not too worry about it since sc2 is so young yet.
