Awesome combo. Doa really shines without Moletrap (no offense to Moletrap). This is the best Code A caster combo so far by a long shot. I think that when they get used to each other, they could easily be as good as Tasteless and Artosis.

Wolf and Doa both bother me with their insincerity. Also both have a tendency to non-stop crib Tastosis jokes and mannerisms.

Either one would be tolerable with an analytical straight man sidekick, more annoying than usual to pair them with each other.

Liking it so far.. I mean there have been times when I have not watched some code A games b/c of casters. These 2 don't make me instantly miss dan/nick so thats a good thing.

Wolf: Passionate about the game, biased as hell, and a decent player makes for a superb caster. One small irk of mine: please stop using the word 'impossible' in your casting.

Doa: Great casting voice, works well with other casters, makes 'safe' observations about the game without getting too technical and running the risk of being wrong. Could work on your energy a little bit at times. Would love to see you take a similar approach to Day9 in the way he lowers/raises his voice to match the tension of the game, as I think way too many casters are monotone. HD/TB are also good at this.

Keep up the good work guys.

Wolf and Doa by themselves aren't a problem but together was an endless vortex of bad jokes that was impossible to escape from. @.@

I would have to agree they tell too many bad jokes. Stories are ok, and insight on players (wolf has a lot of this) should be the main focus, they need to try and trim the bad jokes all the time. That said even though there is room for improvement I'm not sure who you would rather have in their place? Kelly, moletrap, gunrun lol? They were all much worse in basically every aspect and made terrible jokes all the time as well (gunrun only had one broadcast to be fair, but personally I thought that was the worst performance of any GSL caster ever, no offense to him as a person or what he has done to encourage growth in the community, just talking about his casting).

Dolf sounds like a dwarven name lol. But no I like the underlying synergy of their casting style. Wolf and Doa are both individually good casters, and together, they don't really lose any of their appeal.

They rule though.

I picked: "Pretty cool, GSL have done much worse"

Doa is already a permanent caster since he moved there and they brought him back, so he's not going anywhere I think. I like Wolf a lot, he kind of reminds me of Artosis. Doa can get a bit too chatty for my liking but he's above average and better than past casters.

As said in the previous post, I find Wolf similar to Artosis as well especially in terms of insight and game knowledge. Except, unlike Artosis, I find he does not give his co-caster enough respect as several times he tends to cuts in and interrupt his co-caster as he's about to speak. Reason why I think people appreciate tastosis so much is because of the well balanced chemistry they have on camera.

Wolf tends to laugh at his own jokes a lot awkwardly and has trouble following on from his co-casters humorous remarks or critical game insight, overall ending up with a slightly awkward tension between the two. I am purely going off from what Ive seen of his casting on gsl and gstl and not his previous tourneys.

I'm pretty sure cutting off Doa is because they haven't been co-casting with each other that long so they don't know when the other is going to stop talking like tastosis does. I'd be surprised if that didn't stop once they have more experience with each other.

Maybe it's just me, but I always found Wolf's analysis kinda weird. I can't really explain it better than that, but it seems to me like a lot of his analysis doesn't make intuitive sense (especially the toss stuff). Maybe it's just my lack of experience with playing toss, IDK.

Doa + Wolf did a good job together. I could hardly tell them apart since they sound so similar though. Only through Wolf's "accent" (for lack of a better word) could I tell lol. I still like Pirate Wolf the best, though I wouldn't ask QXC to give up playing to cast for that reason.

2nd imo, right after artosis. unless im missing someone...

I agree, tasteless do NOT have better knowledge than wolf for the simple reason that he doesn't even play sc2 that much from what i hear.

I am going with "Not the Worst". I like Doa quite a bit, but Wolf, I like his points, but not his manner of speaking or presentation. It is just a bit awkward to me. Overall, good though.

As for the name, I like Dolfa.

I hope they keep both full time. I really like their chemistry (doa/moletrap not so much). I didn`t really like Doa before but I seen him cast some games without moletrap on streams and he is a lot better.
