"Guess I won't be watching Code A"

Am I the only one who watches for the games?

I will definitely be watching the matches of my favorite players, but if Moletrap is casting I'll be less inclined to watch everything else as well, which is what I do now with Wolf + anyone casting.

Sincerely disappointed in GOM's decision...

Things he absolutely has to change about his casting:
- Stop talking over your co-caster. This isn't the Moletrap show, let your partner get some words in.
- Stop trying so hard to be funny. Super serious caster with no jokes is better than a caster throwing out 10 jokes a minute of which none are funny.
- Stick to the play-by-play talk if you don't know what you're talking about with predicting builds or unit compositions. He didn't even seem to be able to recognize a 4gate until the 4th gateway was built.



Even if all those things were improved, I'd still rather listen to nails scratching down a chalkboard than his voice. I don't know what it is about his voice but it severely irks me. In my honest opinion he should stick to solo casting.


Doa and Wolf are awesome together, Artosis and Tasteless are awesome together. Why Moletrap
Watching Code A muted then I guess.

I mean no disrespect, but the moment I hear Moletrap's voice on any stream, I switch it off. His voice is so high-pitched it actually annoys me. He's got zero, nada, niente charisma, no synergy with any caster and he's just not funny, no matter how hard he tries.

I know he's very passionate about the game, but some people are just not meant to do certain jobs. The best code-A casting post-tastosis has been Wolf during his solo days. Everything else has been completely sub-par, especially when you've got tastosis casting Code-S.

If only they managed to get day9/DjWheat or Day9/DiApollo to do some casting at GSL..

Definitely agree. I'm hopeful that at one point, there will be GSL tournaments hosted outside of Korea. I'm certain that if it weren't for moving, lots of European casters would be happy to do GSL. Its a really weird situation right now. All the best players are in Korea and yet all the fans are in EU/NA.

Wow so much QQ about casters. We get it ok, you guys have favorites and w/e but no need to bash on the caster for doing what his employed to do.

I don't mind Moletrap, but he was pretty bad with Wolf. Interrupted him too much and they didn't have the best chemistry. Hopefully he has learned from his run and is better this time. Too bad DoA/Wolf won't be the main team; they have the most chemistry of any of the Code A combos, barring the Wolf/qxc team.

i like him. for me hes the 3rd best caster at gomtv at the moment, although the others are also good (tastosis on 1 and 2 obv).


if you want know how a REAL shitty caster is like then just tune in to homerj (or even khaldor).

Its not a thing of "favorites" its that many people cannot stand him. Its not QQing, it is the opinion people have of him as a caster.

In the SC casting world casters seem to never be able to be properly criticized because everyone stating their "negative" opinion is automatically deemed a "Troll or Flammer". I really hope Gom listens to their fans because Moletrap is hurting their fanbase.

I hope he has taken to heart some of the criticism that came of his casting for GOM last time around. Hopefully he will be all the better. Moletrap is still one of the best english commentators for BW, really want him to succeed more in SC2.
Do you really want chat rooms?

If people don't complain, the people running the tournaments never know. Consider the alternative: People dislike a caster enough to where they feel discouraged from watching an event. They stop watching the event. No one knows why and nothing can change.

If someone from GOMTV or if Moletrap were to read this, they would be able to know a couple things.

1. Moletrap's voice is aggravating to some people.
2. Moletrap has a tendency to interrupt who he is casting with.

Both of these things are valuable information to someone involved with the tournament. Sure, some people are really immature about how they present their concerns, but not everyone is

I'm sure he's a nice person but personally I just can't stand the way he talks over his co caster and all of his unfunny jokes. Hopefully he has thick skin, sees this and learns what the majority of his audience wants.

Wolf was never confirmed to be permanent, all he said was he wanted to be.
