If I wasn't used to Tastosis I would say Moletrap and DOA are great casters but I just don't get anywhere near as much enjoyment out of them as I do the Tastosis casts. I have paid for every GSL / GSTL since season 2 and was set on paying for this new GSTL until I realised it was Moletrap and DOA doing the casting. Because of that sole reason I decided not to bother to pay to watch any of the games. It's a shame because I feel Tastosis have given me such a high expectation of casters I can't enjoy those who are not on the same level. Another great commentating duo is Demuslim & Rotterdam, the next best thing to Tastosis. and i'll also happily watch any commentary including Day9 or Idra. | ||

The Plott commentator clan is simply amazing and Artosis by himself is out of this world. | ||

I really don't understand how people can be so invested in the casters that they don't even watch great games just cause the casting isn't done by Tastosis. Also the money spend is so little that i bought a ticket for the regular May season even though i didn't watch any matches. It's for esports and the development of the GSL so i'll happily pay those few dollars just to support them. | ||

If they stay on together. They could be called the MD cast. Or maybe "Do-Trap" ? Mole-A? IDK. I'm sure as a community we could come up with a more definitive and agreeable nickname for the duo. Edit: Also I'd like to see KlaZart + Diggity casting combo next up. | ||

Kelly wasn't that bad, but I guess that's just because I'm used to listening to all kinds of accents. Her game knowledge is greater than DOA and Moletrap. DOA and Moletrap are unwatchable for me. Moletrap has an extremely high-pitched voice and yells constantly, and DOA says a lot of jokes, which are funny because they aren't funny, but really doesn't bring much knowledge to the game. | ||

" (back to awkard silence) "how do you deal with a protoss who try to slip his cannon in your backside ?" But seriously what I really liked about Jason Lee is that he was effin professional with the interviews even when he lacked game knowlegde almost completely. I really would have liked to see a Jason Lee paired with someone such as IdrA... and in fact, they did a cast together and it was oh so incredible. Regarding the votes: Artosis: Excellent Tasteless: Excellent Kelly: Bad - this is due to reasons already mentioned such as accent plus the fact that I found her annoying, I know that it's not objective so I'm just gonna leave it at Bad. Doa: Average - the guy is not bad but can still improve Moletrap: Excellent - he's great, the only thing I regret is that I don't feel he makes a good co-op with Doa... not blaming it on either side thought. | ||

What? He's talking about that the poll refer's to kelly via "his", when it should be "her." Unless I totally misunderstand you, I believe you are just misinterpreting his post. As for the casters, I like each caster for different reason. Do I have a favorite? Of course I do! That doesn't mean others can't shine in their respective areas. | ||

Personally I enjoy Doa's laid back humor, I think he adds a lot of entertainment with it. I feel that if the same jokes were coming out of Artosis or Tasteless' mouth people would be praising them for the jokes (though they already are hilarious.. I am not saying Doa is funnier. hopefully my point was clear), but everyone has to look down on the other casters so.. yea. I never thought too much about Moletrap but I don't think he is awful. | ||

No they haven't. It's subjective you commie. Let's put it simple and easy for everyone to contemplate; If Kelly was a fairly average looking guy from the same country as she is from, he would just be a guy with a bad accent, subpar analyzing (she thought 200/200 infestors were going to fungal drones instead of just mass infested terran and kill the whole godamn expansion etc etc), bad pronunciation and 1000% less white-knight nerds who defend her for no reason. Yeah she does her best and yeah it's all good and dandy, do it somewhere else not at the major tournaments. I'm not trolling here or trying to be mean, but in all godamn honesty, if kelly wasn't a girl nobody would give two shits and there had been no one to vote "Excellent" on the poll for her. | ||

It's for esports and the development of the GSL so i'll happily pay those few dollars just to support them. Casters can make or break a broadcast. In college basketball, Exhibit A-Z is Dick Vitale. To put it lightly, he rarely brings anything useful to the table apart from slobbering over players and saying "PTPers" or other random catchphrases designed to annoy. Sure the game is unaffected if I mute the TV, but then I'm losing the rest of the sound as well. Wouldn't it be something if we could mute casters as a choice? Now of course that's never gonna happen for college sports, so I doubt we see that in the SC2 world either. But my point is that casters can very easily damage/undermine the viewing experience. I think the issue is that the bar is set so high (either meet Tastosis or exceed) that no casting duos have much of a chance of meeting those expectations. Now there are clear omissions to the thread at hand (no mention of TSL casters, who are excellent), so let's not get carried away here. We are just discussing the GSL casters at the moment. | ||
