Moletrap, Klazart, Diggity, these guys were the reason I started watching pro BW and realized just how awful I really was at the game

These guys are who got me back into SC1 after a long hiatus. They are amazing casters.

I really want Moletrap to get the job. Hes very deserving of it.

Congratulations to Moletrap and best of luck! I was introduced to competitive BW when I stumbled upon Klazart's videos and the Violetak account. When klaz went inactive moletrap and Diggity were the ones to feed my growing fascination with the scene. Probably wouldn't have gotten to my level of interest here without those dedicated Youtube BW casters back in the day.

I cannot believe what I'm reading in this thread. Most people are giving moletrap his due. But the people questioning his ability? People not knowing who he is? Thinks there are other people more deserving? Hate on youtube casters? Continue to wish it was Day9, tasteless, or artosis? How can you call yourself a fan of Starcraft and a member of TL and not bask in the awe that is this news?

This is the guy that casts games when there was zero profit and zero fame. You think he is rambling a lot? Because he is casting to his friends, he consider us, random nerds on youtube his buddies and like friends he keeps us up to date on his life. Consider yourself lucky.

This guy was broke, working at a temp job and was about to be penniless and still casted. He spent years saving for a chance to go to Korea, scraping pennies BEFORE there was job opportunities there.

There is a an OSL finals between July and Best...internet not working at home, 2 am in the morning...hmm NO FUCKING problem, drive to university and steal wireless from the library from his car. Hot girl walks by? hmm...roll up window, still look cool. He didnt even mention it until one of us co casters notices something in the background and asked moletrap about it.

To all that doubt moletrap GTFO, uninstall starcraft/starcraft2, you are not worthy.

and yes, it will be an HONOR to be banned for defending Moletrap

If you don't know who moletrap is, do yourself a favor and find out, watch some games. He deserves this.

i saw only one game of kellymikies (losira vs legendsomething) she wasnt that bad.

i dont understand why there is so many flame.

btw it was very funny that tasteless was always saying to kelly 'you are correct' 'good analysis'. and so on

but another point, the korean casters are sooooo bad. please change them.

Please replace kelly with him, one of the people who actually got me into watching BW a couple years back. Some of the other old BW casters would be superb to have on the casting team as well, fingers crossed.

I think Moletrap might have been the first caster of Starcraft I ever heard. And he's awesome. At first I hated his voice, but I was starving to watch BW games so I started listening and now I adore him. He let's you know a lot about his life, I appreciate his live casts.

This man is AWESOME.

But Moletrap, I must say I'm not a new fan of the logo, sorry.

LOL.

Moletrap would be a tremendous asset to the GSL. They would be insane not to let him cast.

Yeah seriously; wtf is wrong with people. Some of the best casts I've ever heard are on the Violetak account with Cholera, Moletrap, Rise, Diggity and Klazart. I wish Moletrap the best of luck.

Pretty cool seeing the first gen youtube casters getting chances to cast SC2. Wish him the best of luck. Unfortunately, I never followed Moletrap- Klazart was my man until the GOMtv classics with Tasteless.

As much as TL tended to turn their noses up on the SC2GG guys, they definitely introduced a whole group of us to the Korean proleagues. At the time, I had just heard there was such thing and was trying to find something other than Korean commentary. Very cool seeing these pioneers have another chance.
