I have been a fan of Moletrap since he started out in Broodwar, and I am happy say that I am still a huge fan

This is a person who has casted Strarcraft for years--and has now relocated his entire life across the ocean to Korea--purely based on his love of the game. It is plainly obvious when you listen to him that he is genuinely excited about starcraft. His casting style largely reflects the enthusiasm of the Korean casting style, and I think that is something that is lacking in many other casters.

Gogo Moletrap!

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.


Klazart was amazing. Never seen such a fluid speaking caster.

My 2 Cents -

Wolf + Doa - go really well together because Wolf is amazing and they can joke around and it's actually funny. ( I almost like them as much as Tastosis :O )

Wolf + Moletrap - is alright, Moletrap doesn't shit all over Wolfs jokes like he does Doa's but there isnt much chemistry

Doa + Moletrap - Oh my god, it's horrible. Every time Doa says a joke moletrap ignores him/ just doesn't get the joke and seems cross and every time Doa trys to say anything else Moletrap seems to just talk over him. I don't know if it's entirely moletraps fault, but I struggle to watch and enjoy it.

I sort of wish they had regular pairs so they could better develop chemistry as a team.

EDIT: Holy shit, It's my birthday in Korea already :D :D

I'm not one to hate, but I have to say I just don't enjoy Moletrap's casting, and it's a big part of why I rarely watch any Code A. He calls things wrong all the time (it's OK not to know everything about the game, but if you're not certain then don't make a prediction), he's never funny, he has bad chemistry with the co-casters and I don't care for his voice. Oh well. I watch too much starcraft as it is.

Moletrap doesn't have chemistry and he consisently talks over his counterpart. They don't seem to ever have the this is the technical break down of the build and then other guy fills in whats going on where etc. Its just two guys who keep talking over eachother.

Being as when Moletrap was gone... this was not a problem, I'd say they have some work to do. I think moletrap has potential. but he doesn't have the insight that Artosis or Tasteless (who has almost none at times it can seem)

They do research but they don't see to talk interview the pro's try to get to know them sprinkle any tidbits in like artosis does.

Wolf and moletrap is actually good but Doa + Moletrap is horrible. They shouldn't use that combo.

Moletrap is a decent caster, better than alot of them in my opinion. I don't like the fact however that they can go off topic for too long, I remember in a Code A match, there were alot of drops going on but they were only talking about that they haven't gone bowling in a while and about some good bowling alley in the neighbor hood T_T

Edit: I'm not sure 100% sure if it was Moletrap or not but I remember it not being tastetosis!

Wolf QXC was actually the best Code A imo, even if qxc doesnt know much about toss and zergs (which is kind of weird ahah), they really were conformtable, and funny, and both had a really good knowledge of what's going on, Moletrap is the only caster I really cant stand watching tbh, I mean it's kinda shocking to me, I could handle Husky even if i kinda hate his voice and dont think he's got an amazing knowledge, but that didnt make me turn off something, and well, lets say I didnt watch most of the recent Wolf/Moletrap casts. Yes of course, we are here for the games, but seriously, if we're watching this and not replays, it's also to just sit back, let some guy observe the game for you, and to hear some commentators talking about builds you dont know, or make you laugh, and Moletrap wont ever do one of those 2 things, I mean 80% of the diamond and master players would do a better job... So com'on Gom, listen for once

Edit: And to the people saying that "Oh but he loves the game!" nah, if he would love this game, he would understand it, not watch it with a silver league understanding of what's going on, this is GSL, best starcraft level out there, he just isnt fitting

I just recently went back and watched some old moletrap youtube bw casts, I used to watch him a long time ago regularly when I came home from school. After listening to them it made me remember I absolutely loved those casts, the problem I have with his sc2 casting is mainly the co-caster. There is no denying that moletrap/doa/wolf make some terrible jokes, fake laughs ensue sometimes and whatnot. Also sometimes his hype seems to be played up just for the sake of it (not necessarily true, I know he cares). In his BW casts he didn't have anyone to bounce jokes off of so that part is instantly cut out so there is none of that and also when he gets excited you can tell this is just some guy spending his free time that is genuinely excited, and I love it. I honestly think he would do better as a solo caster then with 2 people, I wasn't the biggest fan of moletraps sc2 casting but after going back and remembering all the videos I used to watch just because he put in the effort made my mindset completely change. Just randomly felt like typing that out, came to my head.

He's only stating his opinion, what is wrong with that? Just because his opinion isn't in agreement with yours doesn't mean he has any less right to express his opinion.

This, of course, is my opinion though. Maybe you disagree and think only some people's opinions should be expressed.

I didn't like Moletrap much in his first GOM run. I believe I posted as much earlier in this thread.

I think he has gotten a lot better recently. He has loosened up tremendously, laughs at his co-caster's jokes, and in general has a more "fun" tone, as opposed to earlier when he had a more "serious" tone. This jives with both Doa and Wolf much better.

I now am quite happy with Moletrap as a Code A caster. I think only Husky has surpassed him in "most improved caster for a big tournament".

I don't get why everyone thinks moletrap isn't helpful. He helped me find the mute button in seconds.

If you actually were around during moletraps BW days, how do you not know that he was basically always paired with klazart and diggity...? I've heard like 150+ moletrap casts, the overwhelming majority was at LEAST a duo. Your right though, Moletrap has no chemistry with his co casters, but honestly, I dont think they have chemistry with eachother either. Wolf talks over and [imo] condescends to doa constantly, just as Moletrap talks over him and just kind of ignores him. Wolf and moletrap talk over eachother and their comedy doesnt mesh. No one in code A works with anyone else. I guess they picked up these casters more on a basis of, are THEY good rather than who are they good with.

I like Wolf and QXC casting .... never a big fan of moletrap .. i find him awkward .. he doesn't seem to fit in... but nevertheless he's there for esports and at least I understand his English.
