But I think the fact that moletraps still there means it's going to be the first time I'm skipping buying a season ticket. He doesn't bring personality or useful knowledge, more importantly he's just not nice on camera, one-upmanship has no place in a casting duo (or anywhere really, it points to insecurity and or incompetance in my experience). Talking about the up and down structure over bombers code A winner interview was pretty unforgivable too... I'd defintely choose a no commentary stream over one with moletrap given the choice. (I want game sounds at least, I'm not paying to mute it and sit in silence!) If HuK makes it by San I may reconsider, | ||

Moletrap is just getting worse and worse for me. I thought it was just he didn't gel well with DoA, with the constant interrupting and subtle rudeness but he's doing exactly the same things with Wolf. I think DoA/Wolf for Code A would work well, they have similar styles. | ||

It's not an easy task for GOM though, they have to find someone willing to go to Korea with enough knowledge, personality and confidence to be natural in front of the camera. Not a common skillset. On top of that the SC2 community can be pretty repulsive. But I think the fact that moletraps still there means it's going to be the first time I'm skipping buying a season ticket.

I think DoA/Wolf for Code A would work well, they have similar styles. I don't agree with the Moletrap comments - I'm seeing that Moletrap is integrating with Wolf, picking up the verbal hooks, catching the references etc etc. in the exact way I found totally was totally lacking from him when he was with DoA. I don't think this was DoA's fault though. Maybe Moletrap was nervous or else he didn't get on that well with DoA or for whatever reason they just didn't mesh, but it sure was painful when DoA would say something and he would just get <blank evil stare> or "....anyway..." from Moletrap. I do agree, DoA+Wolf would be my first choice combination out of all the Code A casters we've seen so far. In the short term, if someone could tell Moletrap that melee is pronounced "may-lay" and not "mee-lee" I would be appreciative! | ||

This is the first time I've heard Wolf, and I have to completely agree with this. Check my post history, I've always said that the problem with Moletrap is that Doa had absolutely no chemistry with him, and he couldn't help Moletrap out at all. Doa had a completely different knowledge set than M, they never connected when it came to calling strategies, casting battles, or joking. Moletrap has always needed a season casting with someone who can keep up with him to really show what he can do. Wolf is already my favorite code A caster by a long shot. Wolftrap has a lot of potential, lets see what they do during this tournament and during July's Code A. Keep an open mind and I think that you'll be surprised by how good they get by the end. I already think that Gom is going to keep the two of them for a extra season. | ||

Keep him around. He actually remembers old GSL games and seems genuinely into who wins/loses. | ||

Analysis isn't that great, but will do. He doesn't work well with his co-caster. The issue is it is just too hard to find good casters. You've really only got 5 that really know how casting works. Tasteless Artosis Day9 DJWheat JP Why did I add DJWheat and JP? Because despite the fact that they're almost noobs they speak on what they KNOW and work well in a communication environment. Anyone of those 5 could be paired with any Code A caster past or present, NASL caster, or random web caster and make that caster improve ten times over. Simple point they know how to talk, in an entertaining fashion, about the game, with cute asides. GOM really should put Tastless and Artosis on alternating days for Code A / Code A Casting group days for GSTL or Super Tournament. It just seems like that is what they'll have to do to give tasteless and artosis a break without killing the casting quality. | ||
