Doa has the casting abilities, his voice is ok, dedication, acting too, but he needs to get good at the game ( masters level at least ) so he can provide some good quality commentary otherwise its useless and annoying listening to someone who has no knowledge about the game

I think Wolf/Doa have been the best lineup for code A to date (save Tastosis). Not so sure they need their names combined though

The names Tasteless and Artosis go together like a high class cocktail, while Doa and Wolf are more like peanut butter and jelly. Delicious as hell, but they will forever be PB&J.

I mean Doa & Wolf.

I find them both remarkably bland. I'd often prefer music during intermissions, rather than the banter.

Neither impressed nor disappointed. Get Tastosis more often!

I personally dislike their style of humor and therefore often feel quite annoyed listening to their drivel when nothing important is happening in the game and/or between games, but guess that's just a question of personal taste.

But since their 'pure' casting skills like game knowledge, enaunciation, quality of the play-by-play, etc. are really good I'm quite pleased. Taking into account the other casters Gom went through in their search for Code A commentary I feel like I should actually be really happy, since Gom has done a lot worse ^^

(Still hoping that Khaldor gets a chance to cast Code A though!)

I'd like to see Wolf+Moletrap, i just don't care about the play-by-play commentary...Doa is fine but i never liked his style of commentating...

It was great. Shame Moletrap has to come in on it.

I'm disgruntled at GOM for how quickly I picked Pretty cool, GSL have done much worse. I wish they'd get their Code A casters down and stop rotating in new people that I'll like even less. Wolf was like a fuck all miracle and anyone paired with him (Except one or two I can think of..) will be a good casting pair for Code A.

They are good together except Wolf constantly cuts Doa off.

They're consistently dry it seems. They seem somewhat knowledgeable in comparison to some other casters out there, but their humour and delivery is just that of a dejected teenage couple. No chemistry whatsoever.

That is one thing I really don't understand. You would think if your full-time job is to commentate a game you would either have played or watched enough of it to be extremely knowledgeable. It is not like I would expect the commentators to be world-class players, but to not be masters or at a bare minimum diamond is just a lack of effort and has nothing to do with a lack of skill or physical ability. Wolf, Tasteless, and Artosis are all Masters players (or were at some point) and it shows when you compare their commentary to the others. If Doa wants to improve as a caster the most important thing he can do right now is just play the game (1v1 ladder, not other stuff), he has the other components.

Wolf needs to stop trying to be Tasteless (including stealing his jokes). They need to find their own style. And they need to stop dragging out terrible jokes. Better to not joke at all than to put us through bad ones. There are plenty of casters who do a solid job without forcing pop culture jokes constantly.

They need to stop going off on wild tangents for minutes at a time ignoring everything that's going on in the game. It makes it worse when they're like 'well nothing was happening, they just put up a baneling nest and a spire, the Terran took his expansion and is researching stim'. That's something to talk about :\

Doa is actually kind of funny. Wolf seems unable to detect Doa's obvious sarcasm.

Case in point: last night Doa made some joke about spoilers, how he didn't know if Frodo lives or what happens with Snape and Dumbledore. Wolf stopped the conversation to ask if he really didn't know those things.
