SC2 is a more modern game. Gotta live with your time. SC2 and LoL are pretty much the same generation of games.

Edit: Plus, SC2 is still a Blizzard RTS, like BW. I guess if Warcraft 4 were to come out tomorrow, quite a good number of SC2 people would indeed switch.

I'm a little frustrated with Moletrap's inclusion in OGN's LoL coverage. His game knowledge for LoL is pretty low. Really savvy move on his part though, OGN is massive exposure. Hopefully he keeps improving!

I guess we all know that his decision is influenced probably because of the money, correct? The fact that he moved to a game he knows less of. I'm not saying that is his reason, he might have other reasons; LoL might be a much more comfortable game for him.

And guys...we should see this as a possible sign of things to come. To be truthful this is a trend that's already been happening for those of us who have been watching.

More and more players and commentators are making the switching to LoL. Moletrap is only just one of many...

It's a sign of things to come guys...

ok cya

I love you too.

Just calling it like I see it. You need to see the trends and adapt to them accordingly. Destiny...FruitDealer...Moletrap...how many more names can we list off, who have made the switch.

FruitDealer: Has progressively gotten worse and worse in SC2. This is his last ditch effort to remain in the eSports scene as he can no longer competetive in SC2. I love the guy and I love his part in SC2 history but this is the sad truth.

Destiny: I don't even know who this is: not important to me whatsoever that this guy is leaving. Is he that BM caster that has an amateur (non-professional) casting show?

Yellow: He failed at his run to get into Code A SC2 and decided the effort wasn't worth it. He instead chose LoL. Why did he do this is the question you are asking. I will tell you he is doing this because he couldn't succeed in SC2 with the amount of effort he feels like putting in. I am thinking he thinks this amount of effort will let him succeed in LoL.

MoleTrap: People didn't like him casting for GOM SC2. This was an issue for a year now. He finally decides to leave to cast elsewhere. Why the big conspiracy theories that "he sees into the future and sc2 is not there"?

Your comments on Destiny are hilarious, you are oblivious to one of the most prominent community members in SC2 and then act like your input means something, really good stuff.

Your input is really great too! Thanks for the personal attacks! I can only wonder what you will resort to next

Personal attacks? Not really.

I agree with your post but really you are unaware of Destiny? D_K_night was either making a joke about Destiny or is also blissfully ignorant of him, as Destiny is still in the SC2 scene.

"Destiny...FruitDealer...Moletrap...how many more names can we list off, who have made the switch."

Apart from Destiny because he hasn't switched to LoL, please, carry on and name some more. I'll throw in Yellow for you as he has already been mentioned. Beyond those three, then please, carry on and list off some more names.

The post I originally responded to was trying to point out that there is a trend of SC2 icons moving towards LoL. I posted as to why this is not a trend and that these icons moved to LoL because they were simply forced to. I'm not sure how you interpreted my post as proving this trend was true. I have no one to add to this list. I mentioned Yellow in there because someone had mentioned them in this context a couple posts back.

To clarify my position in this: All the people on the list were forced to play/cast LoL (besides Destiny which I don't know much about and have no inclination to find out more about as he is not permanently associated with a professional event) because of their recent lackluster results/popularity in SC2. I am firm on my position that this is not a trend. SC2 is not dying. LoL is a different game from SC2 just like CS. I do not see LoL's popularity threatening SC2 whatsoever. SC2 competition has been awesome in the past couple of months in tournaments like GSL and MLG.

I'm pretty sure all other casters liked him, specially the code A casters, because he attracted all the bad criticism and made them look good in comparison.

Now that Moletrap left, the new weakest link is Tasteless...

Best of luck Moletrap. Youll always be one of us. I particularly remember you from the BW days.

Wait what? He seemed pretty knowledgeable about LoL to me (I was so surprised he was casting it)

I have a feeling that Torch and Moletrap will be doing both LoL and SC2 casts for OGN when they start broadcasting it, what other english casters would be available?
and there may be some bridging between GOM and OGN since both torch and moletrap have worked for GOM. At least I hope

imo as long as tasteless is with artosis, he can't be the "weakest link." the two of them together are just too entertaining.

Basically this, its really cool for him. I wonder if he ever imagined working for OGN one day back when he started doing commentary over the Korean OSL vods.

Too bad it isn't scbw :/

I didn't think you were a bad caster at all <3
It's too bad the people who had no problems Moletrap weren't as outspoken as the people who nitpicked at him.
