I guess it's good for anyone who likes him..... but I'm not one of those people. Personally I'd rather to just have Tastosis cast the majority of the games and whilst variety is good, Moletrap isn't exactly one of my preferred casters...

Im not too against moletrap but I don't take to his voice and he doesn't feel like he works amazingly well with other casters. The code A caster I have liked the most was Wolf, Doa is not bad either. I feel Wolf and Doa work better together as a whole, feels more natural. Moletrap as a whole just looks and sounds out of place, even when they are trying to make jokes.

I do feel harsh about it but I almost never watch GSL when Artosis and Tastless are not casting. There was a combo (I believe Wolf and QXE) a while back and I really enjoyed them a lot, but I can't help but feel off when Moletrap is casting (and sometimes the case with Doa) despite their knowledge of the game. As a whole I probably hold the bar too high considering Artosis is one of the most technical casters going and Tasleless is so natural with his casting and they work so well together.

yeh and everyone says he will improve. he claims hes been casting for 5 years how much improvement can you expect....

he will continue to not know how to use the proper volume levels for a given scenario and he isnt insightful strat wise... if he was he wouldnt be plat league. i know ppl with 30 apm in masters hes just not good for casting....

At first I didn't like Moletrap's style, but I realized it was just because I was too used to the Tastosis style and so I was judging him unfairly. I enjoy his gleeful nerd style now though. It is good to have diversity in the casters and I like Moletrap because unlike Wolf who I feel changed over the months to sound more like Tastosis, he's kept his distinctiveness.

Firstly, I hope I am right in bumping this and that this is the right place to discuss this.

I feel that Moletrap's casting has gone from bad to worse and its so hard not to caster bash in LR threads when he just says utterly wrong things. People who watched today's GSTL would know what I mean.

Khaldor isn't the best caster imo either but he does good play by play without screaming into the mic and giving me an earbleed. I would really like it if gom paired moletrap with Wolf or another more knowledgeable caster.

The thing thats most troubling with him is that he isn't improving and knows so little about players and the game


While it's not my place to determine what is a good bump to a thread or not, I personally think that bumping a thread regarding something that a person is reasonably excited about only to shit on him is pretty dick.

I'm indifferent to his casting, but feel that he's a pretty genuine and decent person, and doesn't deserve that kind of action. You want to bitch about his casting start a new thread, or more reasonably, PM him with suggestions.

I don't care if someone starts a thread bashing someone for doing something poorly, that's the internet and it's not my place to judge you if you want to spend your time doing that. But I do care when a thread is made for a positive reason for one person is derailed into something like this, and then revived after it died off naturally.

I think it's kind of obvious that moletrap is such a disliked caster that there'll be a good amount of criticism/hate in any thread about him. You're responding to that guy's post as if he's the first person to say anything critical in this thread.

Hmm? IMHO their game knowledge is far superior to Artless, the last claim that going fast obs is good in PvT (LOL) .


Moletrap's game knowledge isn't anywhere near Artosis', who honestly might know more about Starcraft than anyone else in the scene except maybe TLO. Neither is Khaldor's. Wolf is a pretty good player in his own right so he does know quite a bit about the game, but Artosis > Wolf and Tasteless > Moletrap/Khaldor, simply by virtue of the fact that Tasteless was a Brood War pro while Moletrap is a plat league SC2 newbie on NA.

After finding out my yearly "premium" ticket for some reason doesn't include GSTL (greedy fucking GSL bastards) I was on the verge of purchasing a season ticket anyway but then I decided to check and make sure it was tastosis casting so I load up the first vod fast forward through a bit and am greeted by moletrap. I was immediately happy that I decided to check before purchasing because there is no way I am paying extra after already buying their damn yearly ticket to watch such a fail caster.


I guess you are one of those poeple who buy products depending on the picture and not what the actual text on it says lol

Well, my personal opinion regarding moletrap is:

I'm fine with his casting. At first I didnt't like it that much. Now I do. Sure a little less screaming from time to time wouldn't hurt. Still, there are way worse casters/ caster combos out there. Im a little sad that Doa left. But its okay.


and btw do you guys know of this video where moletrap is showing off some hardcore acrobatic skills in the gom house?


people who can do that are sort of awesome

Artosis', who honestly might know more about Starcraft than anyone else in the scene except maybe TLO.


What? TLO has played starcraft for 1 year (ish), Artosis for 15 (ish).
Only some koreans have a greater knowledge of starcraft than Artosis.

Moletrap definetly needs more understaing of the game but, I, for one, like his shouting and screaming. Maybe because I shout/scream the same time he does (probably even more often), maybe because I miss that "Jilot jilot jilot/riba riba riba/playguu" stuff.

And I really think GOM should make Wolf commentate everything (Code A, GSTL) alone. Pay him triple, do everything he asks for - I JUST WANT MORE WOLF. Even if he goes insane from this (two DTs).
Only way to know the future is to make it.

im pretty sure there is some current progamers, even in the foreign scene, who know more about sc2 than artosis does.

Considering that we're just now closing in on the 14th anniversary for the SC1 release it would be slightly difficult to have played the game for 15 years unless you did really early playtesting for Blizzard.

Listen to Jinro.

Also, I say TLO because he's played all three races at a very high level and clearly understands all of the matchups extremely well. It may be true that other progamers are more knowledgeable about their own race, but I haven't seen anyone else who understands every matchup on the level TLO seems to.

Artosis is great, but I feel his knowledge of Terran is a little lacking (not surprising given that he's never played Terran in SC2).

at this point it's GOMs fault for keeping him, he's obviously not improving in popularity on their forums. Looks like 9 out of 10 people want him out, just leave pls?

Wow so much hate, yes he doesn't know what he is talking about most of the time, and if he casts solo I can't stand it, but I think together with any other casters it's atleast bearable. Also he is one of the few who is really going crazy when the action gets insane, which reminds me a lot of korean bw casters and I do like that. Also it's not like I'm watching this for the casters, I watch it for the games and I did enjoy todays GSTL a lot, I obviously would have prefered tastosis or even khaldor/wolf (and especially doawolf :'( ), but moletrap being there didn't "ruin" my expirience or anything.
Also I like that he is actually giving background info about the players almost every game.
