There is honestly not a single caster out there who really makes me rage - even the guy who commentated the Destiny vs Rain games (booblords lol) just made me laugh. I'm happy to part with my money with Moletrap casting, I think hes alright. I've said this in many threads, people need to cheer up and smile. We get a lot of content for our money.

Teamliquid does seem to be full of very self entitled people who just love to complain, remember that Moletrap is a real person - if he reads this stuff how do you think he feels?

Ps - in case you do read this moletrap I think your good, keep smiling, keep being yourself.

5. there are other casters out there.. why are we being subjected to moletrap when there are better guys like day9, DJwheat etc?



I wont go into the other parts but this one has been repeated over and over and it's a really stupid argument.

People seem to think that GOM can just pay casters huge money and fly them to korea for code a. From what i've read/heard not even Tastosis is getting a star salary so i guess code a is lower than that. Wheat, D9 and other casters on that level are doing great in the US/EU and i'm pretty sure GOM won't be able to match the kind of money they earn at home. Also alot of people can't just drop their regular life to travel to korea to cast.

What do people think of making moletrap a lone commentator?

It happens a lot in sports commentary, there are some really good commentators who were amazing by themselves but were really bad in a duo.

Moletrap has always done lone commentary and I think that's where he shines.


Moletrap used to constantly do duo and triple commentaries for BW on VioleTAK's youtube account (http://www.youtube.com/user/VioleTAK) He would do them with Klazart, Cholora and expecially Diggity. I think it worked better with them because they were all good friends so diolog was always a lot more natural.

I love the guy! He's awesome and a great caster I always get stoked when I see him casting code A, he brings so much life to it.

There's going to be so much hate on GomTV the more he stays on. People really, really have a problem with him. Maybe they'll eventually get used to it...realistically, maybe no one else wants the job. I don't know how many people there are out there who love starcraft 2 so much that they would cast games for a living

For the fiftieth page I want to shout out to BLinD-RawR who changed my mind on Moletrap. I hated him passionately at first but over time I've come to accept that he does have a place casting. I may not like him more than Tastosis or even Wolf. I may still pick at him every time he makes a mistake.

But for now I've stopped inwardly groaning at the very sight of him. I at least give him the benefit of the doubt that I may just want to dislike him from the vocal opinion of the community. He is undoubtably competent though I would never classify him as the highest, I certainly don't think he deserves to be at the bottom of the list. GOM may make .. interesting decisions but I no longer believe that Moletrap is a bad one.

I have nothing against Moletrap. I'm glad to have him be a part of the community, but I don't think he should be casting games for the GSL. No one can question his passion, but casting is definitely not one of his talents

No other caster makes me go "shut the hell up" constantly. He doesn't know the game on a basic level. At least DoA keeps up with the current trends in builds (ie. bfh openings, etc...). Everytime Moletrap says something, it is either some very obvious that takes him a lot time to comment about or plain wrong. Yes, you don't have to be grandmasters to be a good caster, but he can't even pretend to know anything beyond the unit's names. He tries to cover his ignorance (of sc2) by shouting at every situation he deems exciting.

Moletrap should cast Starcraft for blind people, they would appreciate it.

Moletrap is good! Just voicing my opinion because it only tends to be haters who bother clicking in these threads to post, so just trying to balance it a bit .

I love Moletrap's casting. He always gets so excited about everything, it's awesome. He doesn't have the best game knowledge, unfortunately, but I can live with that.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

I have not said anything that I wouldn't want him to read. I know that he is a "real person". I also know that the fanbase of the gsl pays real money to watch premium vods. At this point in time I will not be purchasing another premium ticket if moletrap is casting because I don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth. It isn't personal I just don't think that he is that good and when you take a job like this that exposes you to the public you have to know that if you're not well received that you will get a large amount of criticism. That being said I know that I have said anything about moletrap just to insult him like many who have preceded me.

He wasn't talking too you in person. I don't seem to understand why you would not buy a pass because of 1 caster. 1 CASTER. There will always be people that you dont like, but to take stuff away from the greater cause, just seems plain stupid too me.

Moletrap, Keep going buddy!

Yes, only 1 caster, but he's now in almost every one of the code A games, it's gg!

so many fanboys sittin on moletraps dick. besides the obvious trolls out there, there is a ton of truth to what people post here.

1. lack of game knowledge - this is the biggest factor for me.you have to have more game knowledge than the average casual sc2 player. if you dont, plz dont cast. moletrap again and again makes basic fundamental mistakes about the game that it makes me wonder if its actually disadvantageous listening to him.

2. his voice - god blessed people like catspajamas with a natural broadcasting voice. moletrap unfortunately wasnt. when he gets excited its absolutely intolerable listening to him squeal over the most standard engagements.

3. chemistry with co-casters - its neigh non-existent. its almost like he doesnt want them there. moletrap may be a good solo caster (highly doubt it) but gomtv games are dual cast. so if he cant be flexible enough to be able to co-cast.. its time to gtfo imo.

4. his 'jokes' - i get nightmares of him trying to make 'i smell epic with sauteed onions and garlic' sounds funny. revolting is not a strong enough word to describe how pathetic his jokes are.

5. there are other casters out there.. why are we being subjected to moletrap when there are better guys like day9, DJwheat etc?

6.i pay money for this. I want the best to be presenting.. not someone who has a shit ton of negative comments in each thread with his name on it.

Recently, Tastosis are taking their whole 'nerd' army thing to the next level. It is slowly getting fucking annoying as well. glad to see moletrap doesnt try any of that shit.. but i bet its only a matter of time before he gives it a shot for ratings.

in conclusion, moletrap, youve made some minor amendments to ur casting which is positive. but overall, its still the same hope you can take these criticisms and change it for the better.



moletrap contacted me personally just now and said that he loves your criticisms and he is currently hard at work. he has removed at least 5 fanboys from his dick already and he is trying to get negative comments removed from this thread so you feel better about your money

keep up the good feedback ericcartman and the rest of you ! for the community !


good to know that posting has an impact on life, because:

1. life is fun.
2. posting is fun.
3. impact is big.

in conclusion, thx moletrap.

Wolf is amazing. Moletrap is OK - he's definitely improving, but he's not quite at the level I hope for when I turn on the GSL.

Doa is absolutely awful, and he's completely hopeless IMO. I'd be happy if I never saw him on the GSL again. No game knowledge, not funny, and he just CONSTANTLY says dumb shit.

I don't understand attitudes such as this one. While I think Moletrap is decent, I completely understand the attitudes of those who choose not to buy a pass because they feel that GOMTV is taking a step backwards in terms of professionalism. I understand their desire not to financially support organizations which are regressing, in their eyes. It's not as simple as "it's just one caster".

nothing like keeping the most irriating caster imo... But if you enjoy it, go for it: P I won't be tuning into anymore Code A
