You know when he started I admit I was a moletrap hater but lately the little guy has grown on me and while I miss doa in so many ways I'm glad they kept moletrap on!

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



That's saying that the casting has only a superficial part to play in the enjoyment of these games, which I doubt very many people will agree with you. Casters have always been an in important role in sc2 esports.

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.


I'm responding to his revival of this thread after it was long dead. I additionally think the majority of people posting shit-flinging in this thread should do it elsewhere, but that's far less disappointing than the revival of a thread started with positive intent to talk shit.

As sad as it is, I could not agree more. I did miss most part of the previous season and did not buy a ticket for it (I had for all other seasons). After this period of absence, I was eager to have a look at the start of the new GSTL season. Moletrap greets me and my subconscious immediately decides that I have to close the tab and not buy the ticket. I do not understand GOM's reasoning behind this. They want to be the the best league in the world. For that, they need the best players and the best casters.

I hope this doesn't mean GOM is no longer looking looking for rising talent. There seem to be a lot of casters trying to make a name for themselves so competition between casters should only raise our expectations and standards. Personally I think Moletrap needs to up his game. He should be more careful when analyzing gameplay. Also when a caster consistently says things that are blatently wrong it makes it very diffucult to enjoy the rest of the cast (For example saying Forgg won an OSL). After saying a comment like that the viewer has to question everything that was said before and everything that will be said after. This makes it very difficult to enjoy the cast. Some casters make up for it by being funny or having a colorful personaility, but Moletrap doesn't seem to have those qualities.

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

Lol, you realize Dario played SC1 vs Nazgul at a special event back in mmmmm 2001? He;s played lots more than a year.


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).


WHat are you talking about. ARtosis knows terran better than eveyr korean player. Mech is good in tvp. Artosis knows that. All those stupid terran players just hasn't realized it yet. But Artosis is very smart, he played a lot of bw, and casted a lot of game, so he obv. knows stuff every other stupid terran player in the world hasn't realized ^^^^^^^^.

Is the GSTL going to be cast by Moletrap Wolf and Khaldor only from now on? No Tasteosis whatsoever?

I really liked him back in BW, nowadays not so much... probably should've gone the Klazart-route and just quitted while he was on top.

They used to split it, but I don't know about now since there are twice as many Code S days for Tastosis to cast.

I'd be surprised if Tastosis cast any of the GSTL games. There are only 5 casters though and Khaldor, wolf, moletrap already have all the code A games. So maybe they will split it. But I doubt it. But I hope I'm wrong

On topic: Moletrap is eh, idn, not knowledgeable but his play by play is pretty good. Needs to be paired with smarter caster. The fact that him and khalor are both play by play casters (khaldor is pretty knowledgable though overall imo) makes it kinda of awkward though; they both want to talk during the fights it feels like.

I´ll always love Moletrap´s casting, he has done sooo much for the foreign SC scene and deserves all the best for this alone!

Moletrap ruins the casts for me, downright. It literally goes from being a pleasing viewing experience to an annoying irritating displeasure. You can't simply attack me ad hominem and say that this is my fault and that I need to lighten up and change my outlook or ignore him. I can't. This how I feel, this is how others feel, I realize this because I take active participation in local starcraft Facebook groups where people aren't simply anonymous and troll excessively. I won't just shut up and not voice my opinion because that is not how I was raised nor do I believe that will better the situation for the community in the big picture.

That being said, he has improved a very slight amount in the annoyance level but it is still nigh unbearable to listen to.
