Moletrap has improved a lot, but I don't think he's made for tv because:

1. awkward and doesn't understand humor
2. has an amateur level knowledge about the game

Almost every other caster combination was good. Moletrap just doesnt seem to work well with others. Not just that,his voice isnt really cut out for broadcasting.

I want qxc back instead of moletrap

I really can't stand listening to him. He constantly makes wrong calls(Not due to incorrect guessing but just lack of knowledge of the game). Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but it is very apparent with Moletrap.

His synergy with Wolf and Doa is basically non existent. He isn't as bad with Wolf, but I feel him and Doa just hate each other. He constantly talks over both of them(Doa especially), ignores jokes, etc.

I really wish Gom would stop having him cast so much. Doa and Wolf were amazing, and now we haven't had them in god knows how long. Every night seems to be Moletrap + someone else.

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.

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.


" If you actually were around during moletraps BW days, how do you not know that he was basically always paired with klazart and diggity...?" You are completely disregarding my point, I know he did tons of co-casts, he did wayyyy more solo. The 2nd part of your post is what I'm getting at and more to the point.

moletrap is passable with wolf because wolf is very knowledgeable and 2 is better than 1. doa is better with wolf because he has a better voice and doesnt randomly scream. neither have even close to enough knowledge to be the color guy and gsl is truly hard to watch when they are paired together. moletrap seems like a good guy and is enthusiastic, but you have to have 1 guy in the booth that knows what the hell is going on.

I don't know if it's entirely moletraps fault, but I struggle to watch and enjoy it.


Agreed 100%, seemed like it was in full effect in the finals too. I think it was the first time I've heard Doa noticeably get irritated on cast.

Moletrap makes me really miss Kelly. Coda A casting is quite ugly atm. This shouldn't come as a shock, but you do need a good voice for casting. And then you need to use it correct.
I actually really liked Jason Lee. I still laugh when he said "terran just destroyed his own bunker, why would he do that?". I just loved him, and the voice and the way he used it, was just professional.

Would be cool if Husky casted code A he's improved a lot, I've noticed moletrap has been trying to improve by apologizing when he cuts people off and then lets them speak but it's much harder to learn how to be funny. And trying to poorly imitate tastosis makes it worse(many casters are guilty of this though).Yes it's subjective but I find it hard to believe people find moletrap's jokes funny.

As a subscriber of each and every ticket since season 1 i spent around 150 bucks for all gsl content and like many others i'm really disappointed with the current state of code a casting. I won't even go into detail but i think there should be way higher standards in terms of game knowledge especially and casting skills to a lesser extent.

Especially the current gstl ticket is pretty overpriced and had i known that tastosis would cast as little as they do now this would've been the first time i passed on something.

I like Doa and Moletrap, they seem to be really nice guys, but their casting just isn't good unfortunately.

Because any criticism of Kelly is attributed to sexism by her and her "fans".

I can't stand any GSL Code A casting at the moment just because of Wolf/Doa/Moletrap. Sad thing that is

I have too been purchasing every avaliable gom ticket so far, and I couldn't agree more. The quality of Doa and Moletrap is sadly not as high as one could have hoped for. They are likable in their own ways, but their lack of game knowledge is sometimes frustrating.
I'm willing to listen to Doa though if casting with Wolf, because Doa is an excellent co-caster asking Wolf a lot of interesting which lets Wolf talk about the game.
Moletrap is a character, which is both completely fine and a lot of fun, but I think he is limited both in game knowledge and dual casting skills.

Makes sense, since Doa's obviously not going to do it long-term because of he has a wife.

I personally like Moletrap, but I can see why people don't like him.


I think Moletrap's improving. The problems weren't really with him specifically, he just didn't gel with Wolf or Doa right away, and he's starting to. Doalf was pretty in-tune from the get-go, though.

Will we ever get three casters at the same time?

Really awesome.

Obviously, DoA and Moletrap can't quite compete with Tasteless and Artosis, who have been colleagues, friends and lovers for years now, but I like his weird nerd humor, his enthusiasm (THE NUKE IS GOING TO LAND ON HIS ARMYYYY!!!") and his general casting.

Go moletrap!

Also, bring back that cute Asian girl.

Doa and Moletrap's casting of the code A finals was awesome. I loved every second of it. I really enjoy Moletrap and would love to see him cast in the future! :D

This would be awesome.

DoA, Moletrap and that Asian caster whose name I don't recall for Code A.
