If you're going to troll you may as well say he's better than Tastosis too.

just because one's opinion differs than yours doesnt mean he is "trolling".

moletrap isn't bad he doesnt deserve the amount of hate that he gets

he is not a bad caster in the context of youtube videos or online streams (voice only) but if you are gonna hire a caster for a live, dual-casted televised series with live cameras, moletrap would not be my choice for a long term caster. You need someone with charisma and entertaining personality who looks good "on TV" and moletrap has neither of these qualities.

GSL casters arent just commentators, they are entertainers and hosts. Moletrap doesnt make a very good event-host because he doesnt have the right "Aura" nor does he appeal to a broader audience. Just like kelly was a bad choice because some people couldnt understand her accent, Moletrap is a bad choice because he flat out iritates people, lacks the social skills to participate in dual casting and gives an extremely "nerdy" (in a bad way) impression.

I share the same opinion as most people on this thread, and to make a point, I decide to waste 10mins of my life to re-quote the quotes again. (Wow there are more comments then I expected so the quotes below are just the sample size until page 12)

To Moletrap: Please try to work as a team with your co-caster (do not be overly dominant).

On August 08 2011 06:37 Deltablazy wrote:
I don't deny Moletrap knows his job, but he needs to learn how to teamwork. Cutting his co-caster/commentator to say what he thinks or to show his hype is not a good thing.

Hopefully he'll learn that this time around.

He also interrupts his co-casters quite a bit. Maybe it will improve with time.

Moletrap really needs to work with his co-casters better. Hopefully he'll be a good code-a guy^^ gl moletrap.

I like him. If he adjusts to his co-caster then Moletrap will be entertaining.

Loved his excitement at this part. But I do agree if you listen closely, it does highlight that he does cut off his co-caster at times.


On August 08 2011 06:43 Baffels wrote:
Yep. Just needs to realize he has a co-caster this time around.

Im still going to buy, i just wish there was a "casterless" version tho. No offense but moletrap was just randomly talking all the time over his co caster


On August 08 2011 07:02 Zlasher wrote:
The largest problem he had to fix was to stop interrupting and talking over his co-caster, when Wolf casted with Doa or Unstable they work together much more smoothly whereas Moletrap just couldn't seem to fix it after a season and a half.

Ehh, I feel like his cocasting is somewhat awkward. Very little chemistry with anyone he's casted code A with. I'll still watch though.

Moletrap didn't have any synergy with his previous partner, he just doesn't work very well casting with others it seems. Would rather see him solo cast if anything, but he just tends to be awkward and slightly rude/misunderstanding to his co-casters. Just my opinion though.

well this sucks..Doa Moletrap combo is not good. Doa with anyone else is.

Id much rather see Kelly/Doa

Moletrap has such a polarizing likeability.

I don't think he's that bad of a caster, but I don't like how he casted with DoA. He would constantly make it appear that he's the lead caster. Tasteless is in the driver seat for Tastetosis because he's the play by play commentator, but at least you see him acknowledge an equality between him and Artosis. Everytime you hear him interrupt the analytical commentary, he follows up with, "Sorry Artosis, I didn't meant to speak over you."


On August 08 2011 07:28 farvacola wrote:
This worries me, with Doa and Wolf I can show my friends and family the GSL code a games and not be worried about the commentating seeming overly cheesy or dramatically unprofessional. The way Moletrap basically bludgeoned Doa every time he opened his mouth made listening to the commentary really squirm-worthy. I guess I can hope he's improved, but I won't hold my breath.


On August 08 2011 07:44 HolyArrow wrote:
I enjoy Moletrap's enthusiasm, but I hope he works on his synergy with other casters. He has a tendency to talk over his parter a little too much. Here's to him improving as a caster and I hope he does well!

I hope he gets told to just step over his partners a little bit less. Can't do much about the voice, but overall i like what he does.

Personally I don't like his casting style very much, talks over his co too often and generally doesn't offer much in valid observations about the game that are not obvious. GL to him though, hope it works out for him.

Sincerely disappointed in GOM's decision...

Things he absolutely has to change about his casting:
- Stop talking over your co-caster. This isn't the Moletrap show, let your partner get some words in.

He's got zero, nada, niente charisma, no synergy with any caster and he's just not funny, no matter how hard he tries.

I don't mind Moletrap, but he was pretty bad with Wolf. Interrupted him too much and they didn't have the best chemistry. Hopefully he has learned from his run and is better this time. Too bad DoA/Wolf won't be the main team; they have the most chemistry of any of the Code A combos, barring the Wolf/qxc team.

Moletrap has *awful* synergy and that is imo why he fails as a caster. He doesn't try to work with the caster, it's very awkward to watch. I am unhappy with this decision -- wolf is great, qxc is great, doa is meh EXCEPT when wolf -- then he is quite good imo!

I'm really sorry if this is too harsh; but his utter lack of charisma, constant interruptions, misinformation and awkward casting force me to watch Code A muted. I would rather watch Code A without casting than Moletrap. It sucks because he's a really nice guy and he obviously tries hard, but his casting is just absolutely brutal to listen to.

Well lets think positive; at least they didnt bring diggity over there to co cast with him. that would mean the end of Code A for me. For those who havent watched diggity cast yet, imagine moletrap without the passion and the charming nerd-factor. He is basicly the achetype of a boring person with no aura, charisma or passion. Probably the only sc2 caster that sounds bored when he is casting.

Feels like Moletrap has improved somewhat, he has really cleaned up his cutting off of his co-caster, and seems more level headed in general.

Wolf/moletrap is great. I dislike Doa's casting. Wolf is like a moderate tasteless, and moletrap is like a moderate artosis. they are the perfect transition stage before code S. Where you get the entire blast of tastetosis.
