I think this process is getting ridiculous. If they just confirmed a casting pair, any casting pair, they would have already surpassed the level of any of the new people they keep trying out. I'm getting tired of teams reacquainting with each other for the first couple weeks. You do realise if they did that it would be kelly + doa. I actually like how they are doing it - but agree that they could keep the casters on a bit longer. I think it's been mentioned that doa wanted to go back to his wife anyway. I'd be fine with that to be honest. It's just my opinion, but the improvement someone makes with three months of professional experience will be way more than the chance you find someone better in those three months. They're just bringing in people cold and shipping them out when they just get warmed up.
I like that they're trying out multiple casters, they get enough time to sort of click, if it really seems to work then I hope they actually settle on those casters, but up until now I don't think we've seen a pair that we could point to and say, "It's not very likely that we could find a pair any better than this".
Also, I would not have been happy with Kelly casting permanently so I'm glad they're taking some time and gauging fan response to casters.
Also, to add on to this, I think around 3-6 weeks are generally enough to see whether the improvement in a duo is going anywhere or if they're getting better too slowly, or not at all. Just look at Gretorp and inControl, to me it feels like they've grown into an awesome duo and one that I really enjoy listening to.

As a solo caster wolf can be too unjustifiably critical of the players he casts. He's also very opinionated. Other than that, he's pretty good. We'll see how they fare together =D
|
Best of luck to both DoA and Wolf. Hyped for the Super tournament.
|
WOLF. Congrats man! This is Morely btw. We met at the live stream of the MSL up at Tech. I look forward to watching your casts! ^^
|
Good luck to wolf. Hopefully he is better than doa/kelly but I don't know man, I wish they got some older more mature people to cast games, like in the age of Tastosis (late 20s). People might think Age isn't a factor but it is to me lol. You don't see any early 20 year olds casting other sports.
I also agree with chill, changing the casters this much sucks. It also ruins Live Report threads. Everytime there is a new one it becomes live caster criticisms.

Wolf congrats bro you definitely deserve this.  you definitely have done enough for this community to earn this.
|
Only listened to about a minute total, but from what little I heard, he sounds pretty decent.
Still miss Tastosis for every and all GSL game

What's the rush? I see no harm in giving more people a chance and trying to get a great counterpart to Tastosis rather than taking two random people and shoving it down the viewers throats. As a paying customer, I'd rather GOM give a dozen people a chance and pick from a group that have gotten a taste rather than picking one, letting them get 'warmed up' and then finding out a few months later they made a mistake.
I have to imagine not everyone is cut out for living in Korea either, as doa probably found out it wouldn't work for him long term (unless that information is untrue). So in that case, you couldn't just 'confirm' him. And this would have to have happened regardless.

GRatz to wolf man.... he does a great job with unstable for the FXO events!
|
Great! Wolf is fantastic and this will be awesome to see, major congratulations to you sir!
|
wait wait wait wait wait wait. mini artosis leaving? ><
|
Wolf and Moletrap? Seems like it's going to be a terrible combo :/
|
Congrats but I hope you are ready to get flamed. Make one mistake... and then one person will comment on it, then another person who was about to also comment on it will agree with that person, then other people may notice it later on and keep complaining about it... and then you are officially a "bad" caster in their eyes no matter what you do, and everything goes downhill from there. Enjoy!
|
I miss Doa and my expectations about wolf isn't that high. If the videos posted by the OP is indicative about wolf casting style I'm a bit concerned... but I hope it work out for the best. The GSL action itself it so good that the casters must screw up big time to make me turn off the GOM TV player!
|
Congrats Wolf. You are incredibly deserving! Sounds like you don't have to be indirect anymore!
So this probably means no OWCs anymore too
|
It's sad to see DoA go especially when I like his casting :'(
|
I'm really looking forward to using the term Wolftrap.
|
Wolf is going to be awesome. Watched heaps of FXO invitationals with him at the helm and he's always great. I think he might be the first caster other than tastosis I'm keen to listen to at the GSL :o
|
Who is this guy? what has he done before except cast? former player in anything? ranking? connections? Just curious
|
Ahhhh so that's who MrStranger was in IRC ^^
good luck in casting!!
