EPTDoa and moletrap are okay,but they can improve. The way they interrupt each other was the worst part, but seeing them in the gstl, moletrap seems like he actually acknowledges the presence of doa :D. They tend to miss a lot of things and don't seem to know a lot about the game, and are clueless about the strategies used, but then both aren't players so you don't really expect them to know about it. They aren't perfect, but I don't mind them, maybe more casting together and playing the game can iron out these flaws.

Doa is okay, he occasionally gets things wrong but i can deal with it. He isn't too bad at casting but tries a little too hard I think sometimes. Moletrap gets annoying, he often says a lot of wrong things and jumps to conclusions way too often. As said by posters before, I hate the way they try to undermine each other. I find that Moletrap especially tries to one-up Doa and corrects him as often as he can and ends up looking like a bit of a kid. I don't really feel that Moletrap has a deep enough understanding of the game to be in the position that he's in (im not saying that I would be better.) Kelly - She was okay, I didnt mind her casting but thats because she was alongside Tasteless <3 (and Artosis) | ||

The only reason Artosis is such a good caster is because Tasteless enables him to take the analytical side of the discussion most of the time. There needs to be an interchange between the two casters for things to line up truly well and Tasteless sets himself up as a platform for Artosis to stand on. Likewise, Artosis sets Tasteless up for some very humerous moments. Lots of give and take between those two, but I would actually have to rate Tasteless higher than Artosis, both are excellent though. Not sure about that, have you seen Artosis' Youtube? I love his solo casting, even though of course he is much better with Tasteless. I don't think Tasteless would do as well on his own, based on when each of them were paired with Kelly, Tasteless basically had to solo cast and didn't do a great job. | ||

Well, moletrap seems to know more about the players than Tasteless does. Both seem to know not enough about the game to shine by analyzing the gameplay. Both have a deep history of casting: Tasteless officially casting big tournaments apart from the most prominent leagues in Korea and moletrap (illegally) casting the games of those prominent leagues on youtube. Tasteless's cast can be incredibly funny, moletrap's cast can be amazingly exciting. At least that was my train of thought. | ||

Tasteless - Excellent! Same reasons as Artosis though, if he's with somebody else I think he drops down a little bit, but when they are casting together they are both excellent. Kelly - Bad! But, I feel this is a giant preference. I personally thought her game analysis was very poor as well as it was just way to hard to understand her when she'd start talking too fast since she has such a major accent. If people were use to her accent and could understand her easier I could see her being Average or Good, still doesn't change the fact I thought most of her analyzing was god awful. Lucky she's a girl because if she was a guy Gomtv wouldn't of chance her a chance. DoA & Moletrap - Average, Both DoA and Moletrap could jump up to excellent or good I think if they just kept casting together a lot. They both could be stellar casters but since they are still kind of new casting with each other there are many awkward moments as well as pauses in their casting that just doesn't feel right. | ||

Both seem to know not enough about the game to shine by analyzing the gameplay. Tasteless is a progamer who has not played for a while, its just his mechanics that are not up to part. so please don't try to think radically just to get everyone's attention. thats what i assume you are trying to do here. he was up there with huk and idra just 4-5 months ago. | ||

One guy it loud, friendly and mostly shouts about the pretty things he sees, but overall doesn't know what the fuck is going on. That's Tasteless (Actually Tasteless knows his shit pretty well, not like Artosis, but this is still the role he fills). The other guy is more quiet and reserved, but when he says something it is insightful and has a deep impact on how you view the game. That's Artosis. When you match up two guys who don't know one another and they start commentating they won't fall nicely into a role right away. They'll interrupt one another as they both try to analyze the same thing, or both get distracted by the action and not catch something important. This happens all the time with DoA and Moletrap. In the old days when Tasteless controlled the camera he had to focus on what people wanted to see, because he saw what they saw. This left Artosis free to look at engineering bays and the like. Naturally with this setup they fell into their roles quite well, and now they can fill the same roles with someone else manning the camera. Sure, they probably talked and agreed beforehand it was the better setup to have Tasteless focus on the action and Artosis the analysis, it plays to their personalities, but DoA and Moletrap are just two guys who don't know one another. They can't pull it off by winging it. They either need to decide who gets which role, or GOM needs to hire people specifically to play one role or the other. | ||

Nobody is questioning the effort...but there isn't that added draw. When I hear Tastosis, it adds additional interest. The other casters just don't have the draw at the moment. Maybe with additional practice they do in the future though. | ||
