As for Khaldor, I think it's a shame that GomTV still keeps him, and he is the main reason I haven't bought a ticket so far this year. EDIT: grammar/spelling | ||

It is really too bad that they do not have a good cocaster to go with him right now. However, I do think that Moletrap has been improving a ton. Give him a little more time, and I think that Khaldor/Moletrap will be a great casting team. You've got to realize he's been commentating for almost 5 years now. He's not going to suddenly improve in the casting department. Yes, his game knowledge might improve, but his casting won't improve in just a few months if he's not improved at all in the 5 years he's been casting for. I disagree completely. Yes, I know he has been casting for a while. I saw his stuff from the BW days. However, I disagree with both the claim that (1) he hasn't improved and the claim that (2) the fact that he hasn't (remarkably) improved his casting in the last 5 years entails that he will not. Regarding (1), if you watch his casts when he first started in the GSL, they contained a lot more painfully failed attempts at humor, egregious misinterpretations of the games, and poor chemistry with his casting partner. Regarding (2), he is in a different situation now than he has been for the past 5 years. Now he is casting for the best tournament in the world. This will provide significantly more pressure to improve than he has faced in the past. | ||

The solo black and white stream casters from MLG are 10x better than moletrap. I just don't like awkward casters. The second I am thinking "WTF am I hearing", the quality of the casting is terrible for me. | ||

Stuff that other people really don't want to follow-up because its that stupid. Today somebody was doing a 1-1-1 all-in and he was asking khaldor to slowly count how many rax, factories and starports they were. I think he's decent play-by-play and does better solo than paired. But if he is paired rly needs to put him with Wolf or another knowledgeable caster. | ||

I think Moletrap needs to take in the input he gets from the community and work on his casting. | ||

After reading the comments here I went and checked out the free first game. I don't think that neither of them did especially bad today. Good, solid casting. | ||

He also comes off very condescending at times, which is very rude and I really can't believe Khaldor hasn't stomped his goofy ass on camera. It's very confusing as to why GOM kept him and let DoA leave. I can only hope that DoA left of his own volition because he wanted to be back in America with his wife. | ||

But people who say he hasn't improved his game knowledge just haven't paid enough attention. He's no Artosis thats for sure, but at least his passion and his desire to improve is clear - something that people blindly ignore when fawning over people like Tasteless. Stop applying double standards. It has nothing to do with any of that stuff. He is condescending and screams obnoxiously. Game knowledge you can fix, so whatever. That kind of stuff changes with the game as it evolves anyway, so whatever. He really needs to stop being a dick. | ||

EDIT: Another thing that I don't feel the current casters are able to do adequately is grasp and explain the outcome of engagements. Every engagement in SC2 is important, its result depending on positioning, unit numbers, upgrades, and overall strategy. I do not feel that merely describing the engagement itself without giving any thought to its long-term effect is enough. At least they should say who's ahead and why. I had the impression that often the casters just did not actually know who won an engagement. Sometimes they state one thing, but five seconds later it's the exact opposite. It's not a proper commentary, it's a laugh track. | ||

simple reason, if i wouldnt have the passion for the game, i wouldnt play it/watch streams, BUT as a normal gamer i might not have as much strategical knowlegde as casters like artosis because they dug into the game as deep as they can as for other casters like khaldor i feel like their casting isnt "as good" simply because they r non-english native speakers, so they first gotta breach that barrier in language before they can actually show their ful potential maybe they should just do the same thing that SC2 players do.... show replays to the pros and ask for help to improve | ||
