Man I love these threads, so many confused people giving pointless ultimatums.

I swear if Gom said " We are going to cut our prices by 50%" People would say the exact same. "thats it I am cancelling"

Its like a generic response and we know that the vast majority didn't:
A: Watch it in the first place
B: Buy a ticket to watch it
C: Actually cancel


Also goes along with the new trend of "What no koreans I am not watching" Check Bnet EU invitational

GL to Moletrap I am sure people that actually never watched him before will cancel their non existent subscriptions in pure disgust then add 30 pages to the Xcasternamethread <3 the internet it doesn't get me down honest

there are 2 variants for good casting at the gsl
- someone tells Moletrap to calm down while casting, stop with the bad jokes, stop interrupting the other caster, actually start playing the game and become good ( at least masters ) at it so he can provide some information to the viewers that can at least not make him look stupid while commentating, stop screaming please
- get Torch in the house

I found Moletrap very annoying. His jokes were abysmal at times and his game knowledge seemed to be restricted or he'd rather spend time getting overly excited about subtle things without adding why they might be important.

"OOhh NoOoOOoo, and he get's the zealot" ..... <proceeds with something random>

The funny thing is that i watched BW VODS recently and i really liked him there. He seemed calmer, more focused and more analytical. Maybe he improved since he casted with Doa the last time, but i almost always turned off sound, because i never gained any analytical knowledge deeper than "a tech lab....we might see a reaper pretty soon", or "he is still on two bases, while the other one already expanded, so he has an economical advantage".

But nvm, i'll purchase the ticket anyway.
the game is the game

The news that they are keeping Wolf long term is good enough news for me not to care that Moletrap will be back as well.

Happy about Doa and specially Wolf. Not very happy about Moletrap, he is quite annoying to listen to quite frequently.

Not a big Moletrap-fan but i guess i'll probably watch regardless . They could do worse.
I really like that they're keeping Doa and Wolf though i like those two. I wonder how Khaldor fit in with these 3 if he actually will still be going in September.

Goddamnit why couldn't they hire Torch? He's actually really good :/
At least they didn't hire the Aussie guy, his voice slays me, I can't endure that accent.


Lol yeah it's weird being around Aussies all the time, it sounds normal IRL, but when you hear it in a cast, its super irritating. Anyway was actually a fan of moletrap when he was doing solo casts, but I just found him annoying when casting with other people. Just seemed to hate his co casters (Always gave doa a death stare)



Yep Aussie accents are gross, especially on US movies and TV shows. It's just so jarring. Also moletrap? More like interuptrap :/ I didn't find his personality particularly warm compared to the others.

Torch / Wolf / DOA / Kelly / Moletrap - in that order
(Hey at least she had an awesome set of DSLs and being Australian, I'm actually capable of understanding people with an accent)

And then he sees this thread. Poor dude.

In this poll, with a lot of voters:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=224271

Moletrap got better scores than Doa, on average. He also got more "horrible" votes than Doa so it's obvious that here is a vocal minority here that doesn't like him. I think the poll shows that it's a minority though. He also got more "excellent" votes. Polls don't necessarily show the truth but threads like this one, with a lot of bashing, can be even more misleading. It seems most people, including me, like Moletrap.


Moletrap, ignore the haters in this thread and remember that poll.

I fail to see the relevance of a poll that's about three to four months old. Even if it were relevant, look at the numbers:

41% good
27% average
12% horrible
12% excellent
8% bad

I interpret those numbers as Moletrap being a pretty mediocre caster, especially when you take a look at the numbers of Artosis and Tasteless. None of the code A casters score particularly well in that poll, and then I'm still being nice. GomTV organizes the most high-profile tournament in the Starcraft 2 scene. They should be aiming for excellent commentary, not mediocre to sub-par.
How can you interpret 53% positive 20% negative and 27% either way as being mediocre? 53>20 by vast margin. 53 is almost twice the number of the average, where you put your final verdict.

Almost anyone would look bad in a poll versus Tastosis. They are just that popular/loved.

So you expect casters in Korea to be at least masters?
Did you know how many problems the FXO guys had in Korea to get to masters?

I'm not a fan of moletrap for various reasons already mentioned in thís thread: high pitched voice and a tendency to cut his partner short. I don't have a problem with his voice all the time but when he gets excited his voice cracks.

I actually don't care in which league he plays or if he plays at all. You certainly can improve your game knowledge by playing, but I'm quite sure you can also watch a ton of games and study them carefully. In any case as long as he is paired with a competent co-caster that also shouldn't be a problem in itself.

Practice makes you better... so I hope it will improve and I'm still looking forward to watching Code A matches.

First I'm pretty sure FXO guys are way above master league in Korea so what you said is funny.
Yes I expect the casters to be ÄT LEAST masters. Is it a problem? GSL claims to be the most high skilled league in the world. As such league GSL has to present the best gamers in the world in a proper fashion. That happens throught commentators who are completely capable of telling the audience WHY these players are the best. Exactly pointing out why the GSL player is better than the average mid masters player (just an example) although they both seem to be doing similar stuff. They need to point the small things that differentiate them. And to do that they need to have at least some understanding of the game. I'm far from the idea that if they are masters they can talk and know everything about the game but this is the absolute minimum in my opinion. And I continue to feel offended when GSL presents me this casters so much lacking basic game knowledge . Can't they find something better? Or are Doa and Moletrap so ignorant that they refuse to play and learn the game at a proper level so they can present the beauty of the game?
