From what I've seen and heard, he is a lot better at casting LoL than SC2. Plus considering the esports scene right now, I can only really see it being upwards from here for him in pretty much every single way.

I didn't mind his SC2 casting myself though, I think the sheer amount of hate he got was very undeserved. I really wish him all the best!

I'm very happy with this, SC2 has a lot of great casters, but Moletrap wasent one of them. But in a game like LoL... I'm sure he'll do great! :D gl Moletrap!

I don't plan on watching LoL ever again but I actually think Moletrap is a great caster for the upcoming BW/SC2 mixed league. Having extensive knowledge of the players and how they apply their BW strats to SC2 is pretty valuable. I'd prefer Artosis, but in the event that Tastosis can't be contracted to do both GSL and PL Moletrap is the next best step imho.

This is probably best ending, people who don't like Moletrap get to see him leave, but Moletrap also gets a sick position; fans of moletrap also get to follow him in his new position.

Maybe it's not the hero they want, but it's the hero they deserve

From the GSL General dicussion thread that Khaldor confirmed, that I commented:

Wow, from someone that followed him from his BW Youtube beginnings, I am quite shocked actually. I didn't even know he played LoL let alone cast it. He never casted any games on his Youtube channels either.

I am rather doubtful it was a case of higher salary. Even if OGN did offer more money, for a person like Moletrap to betray his passion for Starcraft... There had to be a higher reason.

Two reasons I see possible for moving to OGN for LoL:

1) He knows a majority or at least a very vocal minority of the SC2 community hates him a lot. So he decided to pack his bags and move to greener grass where he won't be heckled.

2) The more likely reason is that he hopes by working with OGN, even through LoL, it would give him a chance to cast Proleague or Starleague if they decided to start casting those games in English as well. For such a BW scene lover like Moletrap, that is truly a dream come true.


I don't like how he didn't make a formal announcement himself though. I felt like it was a bit dickish. Oh well

what about Torch?


Torch was no surprise to me. I knew he played LoL a lot. Also his job at GOM was to be a foreign liaison but that was when GOM actually had a decent amount of foreigners in GSL. With the number of foreigners we have now, he probably didn't even have anything to do.

This does raise the question of who the new Code A caster will be though, if anyone.

They will probably just stick to wolf and khaldor, the duo seem to be a popular in the community and they do a good job of casting code A and GSTL so no need to get anyone new (And if one is not available like wolf is at dreamhack they can substitute tasteless or artosis in).

There isn't a caster in the world who inspired me more than Moletrap. The guy went from nothing to casting games for the most prestigious tournament in the world. You don't have to like his casting, but you have to respect his passion and dedication.

I knew that he comments SC2 for Gom, but never heard Moletrap's casting SC2. But as I remember his casts of BW on his channel were really nice. Combo casts with Cholera, Diggity, Rise were amazing.
But casting LoL? I think it is more important for him working for OGN, than LoL itself.

Really hope so. The guy, who dedicated his life for BW and got so many people into it, can't leave it for LOL.
