I have to mute everything you cast and that's really frustrating. You know what helps me sleep at night? Knowing that voices like yours are a tiny vocal minority of unpleasant individuals. Nothing helps one sleep at night more than cold hard numbers and facts. For every person like you, there are many more than think the exact opposite. It's not like the criticism of someone who doesn't even listen to my casts is valuable. If or when you're gone people will be saying the same things about you as they are right now about moletrap. If you believe me to be only a tiny minority then I guess it's no wonder you sleep well.
As he said, cold hard numbers. Shoutcraft viewership disproves what you are saying. Regardless of TB's casting knowledge, people still want him at events and want to watch events he is at.
Also to the guy saying this is a SC2 forum - no shit. Doesn't mean people have to bm games they know nothing about. I don't care if your friends play other MOBA's, doesn't make you right.

I won't lie by saying that I liked Moletrap's casting... I wish him the best of luck nonetheless on his new endeavors!

It must be somewhat valuable since you decided to comment on it.

If you never respond to stuff you yourself think is complete bullshit, then you don't want the silent readership of a website being fed nothing but that. Because some people will be convinced by that and thus it's better to voice your opinion on crap from time to time.

It's always like that with TB, he always answers to random comments he then quotes as "invaluable". I'm surprised he's always there when someone dares to say that he knows little about the game he casts. He's so defensive about it...makes the critics all the more true if you feel like you have to respond to them.
While not one of my favorite casters, at least TB doesn't try to call things when there is a co-caster with him (which should always be the case), like Moletrap did. I remember when TB was predicting forge fast expands against Terran, not so long ago, but he really improved on that.
I still like the "non-SC2" things he's doing much more tbh :D (like the gameplay videos on GW2's beta)

Never minded him but hopefully this opens up the spot for someone legitimately good. I disliked his lack of game knowledge, tendency to talk over his partner, and derogatory manner towards extremely good players who spend all day playing, but he had alot of energy so.

I think comparing Moletrap and TB is pretty unfair. We'd be missing out on quite a few tournaments if TB wasn't in the scene each year, not to mention the fact he pays players pretty damn well, and sets nice standards for players. Some people don't like TB style, personally I really don't mind it. He knows his place very well and him and Apollo make for a very good well rounded casting duo.

OH HEY THATS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow this is pretty sad. Hope it works out for the best Moletrap!
where can I watch him cast LoL for OGN?

Now I can sleep tight as well)
Please keep this thread on-topic. This is not a thread about TB's casting ability.

Sad day for me, probably my favorite code A caster.
I never quite understand the caster hate on this site... I personally have enjoyed every caster that has gone through GOM so far (I thought Kelly was awesome as well). For me, I just like a constant rotation to keep things fresh. One 4 hour broadcast is usually enough time for me to start looking forward to a different set of casters.
While Moletrap may not have known the most about the game.. I'll miss him running circles around Khaldor in the humor department (not always Khaldor's fault.. as often times a joke would be meant for an American audience) and watching Moletrap trying to hold back as best he can to not make fun of him. When he did though, it made for great entertainment.
I also consider Moletrap one of the pioneers to consistently bring stats into the cast when needed.

It baffles me that anyone could tolerate Kelly, let alone think she was "awesome." I thought Moletrap was grating, but he was still miles above Kelly in my books.

Also, I think eventually the casters who are clueless about the game (like TB, etc) will disappear, once esports become more popular and standards are raised. 99% of casters in "real life" sports (like cricket) are those who are ex-sportsmen, and can explain the intricacies of the game. Bullshit. As eSports becomes more popular play-by-play will be required even more. The hardcore who want analysis and nothing but will become marginalised just as they are in any other mainstream sports and that kind of content will be relegated to specialist shows. Cricket is a pretty terrible comparison, try sports like American Football or Soccer where there are plenty of professional commentators that never played the game. This is how it works - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_commentatorNote the guys in the picture, major Rugby commentators. One of them played at club level, one of them did not play at all, his background was in broadcasting, just like every other play-by-play sports commentator. Just one of many examples of exactly this team. Some of these guys are paid millions a year. I just wanna point out as well that these same comments were being made back in the beta of 2010. "The play by play guys will fade away very soon". It never happened. As more and more people stop laddering (as we've seen by the shrinking number of leagues and active players on a season by season basis), we'll see even more demand for articulate play-by-play/analysis combos rather than hardcore analysis teams. Ex-players are less interested in learning how things work than active players who want to get better at the game.
You sound worse and worse the more I hear from you. Care to explain why cricket is a terrible comparison, or are you just plain ignorant? American football cannot even compete with cricket in terms of popularity in the world.
Your behaviour is pretty much the same as Moletrap. Just dismiss all criticism, and continue to believe what you believe. If you really believe speaking English is the only skill that is required to cast, then good luck for the future 
EDIT: And, by the way I actually really like your style of casting. If you had great game knowledge like other pros/ex-pros, you will probably outshine almost every other caster in the scene.

Do you have anything to say other than "I'm right, you're wrong"? Your posts about LoL have no substance.
