Hmm I would prefer a caster who is at least in diamond and ideally mid to high masters so they cant make more accurate judgements and comments about what the players are doing. Nothing against the guy though, good luck.
Trust me, ANY caster that are just diamond would get ripped to shreds by people. (Except totalbisquit)

Given that you can get to Masters based on mechanics alone doing 4gates (I imagine), I don't really agree that we should be rating casters on their in-game rating (although to some extent it is true). If you watch/observe enough games, you can understand tactics/strategies but maybe cannot execute them because you are just not a good gamer, mechanically.
Therefore, we should judge people on their casting, and not their ladder rank.

My first thought was, "Any relation to Verne Lundquist?"
But its off by 1 letter.
|
Went to his channel and yeah, his got the voice. A little soothing to listen to.
|
Good voice. Best of luck and ignore the haters.
|
I would have voted for:
heard him cast, not bad at all.

Trust me, at this point, any caster including Day9 and Incontrol would not be able to satisfy the whiners.

GREAT voice. This is a big improvement.

He's got a nice voice, but I've never really heard of him before this.
What happened to moletrap?

Moletrap was only a candidate. Several would have been interviewed for the job, this bloke is the one who got it.
|
Guys that are saying that Moletrap is out of it, it's my understanding he's not. DoA has let me know that all casters are basically provisional pending a job well done. They are going to have a couple of people doing code A until the final selections are made. He may jump in this thread and correct me, but that's my understanding.
|
DoA's pretty good, one of the better casters that I hear from sc2casts.
|
He has a really nice calm voice, good luck!
|
|
|
bah I wanted moletrap! But this guy has a nice voice and it will be fun to see him live today.
|
He has a good voice, not sure about game knowledge though.
|
Definitely one of the better youtube-casters out there - though I've never heard him do anything live, hopefully he won't be too nervous.
On the whole league/rating/stuff: it's getting really annoying. Game knowledge has very little to do with execution. A 14 year old could probably execute strategies he doesn't understand much better than people with 30+....who actually told him these strats. We/you should really stop rating casters based on their ingame-playing-performance, that's ridiculous.
Oh yeah, and for the record, Tasteless has a terrible understanding of the game, I'm not even sure if he follows the scene at all besides GSL anymore. Let alone playing. Still his chemestry with Artosis is enough to make it entertaining (more or less).
|
I'm going to be asleep halfway through Code A listening to his voice, I skipped through a few videos and and couldn't find any instances where he sounded excited about what was happening. He doesn't have to be TotalBiscuit but some enthusiasm is warranted sometimes.
Though his voice does sound pretty good.

His English makes sense so goodluck as a commentator Doa.

+ Show Spoiler +A new commentator, Erik "doa" Lonnquist will be joining us today! Erik will be commentating with Kelly for Code A matches. Erik has live commentated matches involving many of the top North American players such as Drewbie, dde, and Fenix. He has also casted live matches featuring some top EU server players such as HayprO, Sjow, and Bly. Some of the events Erik has worked for include US Craft Cup, Alert Open Cup, Prototype Cup, and tQ Open series. Don't forget to tune in at 6:10PM KST (+9 GMT) today to see the new casting duo in action. Thank you. http://www.gomtv.net/2011gslsponsors2/news/62192
This statement says that Doa and kelly are the new casting duo. Does this mean that moletrap isn't getting the job, or that they are trying what casters have the best chemistry?
