This, basically. It's really sad to see so much hate on the poor guy because of stupid reasons like not liking his voice, etc.
There are a few people with legitimate reasons for why they dislike him, but it's mostly full of "LOL FINALLY."

watched a little bit of the lol games today. not really a lol fan, but i thought he did pretty good. still has a habit of cutting his co-caster off a bit, though. good luck with lol. at least he's living his dream of casting.

Hm, I don't see how not liking to listen to a SC2 commentator because of his/her voice is stupid (or radio host, or sports commentator, or phone interviewer, or anyone else whose sole purpose is to convey information via voice) . I think the voice is very important in this case and liking or disliking it is entirely subjective. Calling the opinion of others stupid is stupid though 
"hating" is a different matter ofc.

Moletrap is a better League caster than a StarCraft caster. But that's not sayin' much since most League casters suck unless its a pro standin' in to cast (Go watch Dan Dinh cast IPL4 compared to the other guys, he knew exactly what was goin' to happen compared to the commentators who couldn't guess an invade when it was starin' them in the face...). Personally I was not a fan of Moletrap's duo casts for GOM, but for his solo castin' he was much better. I felt he was tryin' too hard to make the next castin' archon with whoever he got matched that it really was holdin' him back and makin' him look stupider than he actually was. His solo castin' was nothin' special, but it was amazin' in comparison to his duo casts.
Anyways, best of luck to Moletrap in his career with OGN. (And replace Torch please...)

Think im going to resub to Gomtv now to celebrate, I didn't get a new subscription cause i knew he would cast most of it.
Gone is the caster Saying stuff like " OmG did he get Templar Archives before cybernetics core". Not to mention the general annoying tone and no synergy with cocasters. If you think a caster is good when he does stuff like that then i have no idea how a person is ever a bad caster.

Was never a fan of Moletrap, but his BW casts and even his solo SC2 casts were much, much better than what you saw on GOM. Not to mention that the guy really loved interacting and the game. It's one thing to dislike his casting, but half of these posts here are way, WAY overboard.

I don't think I called anyone's opinions stupid. I used the word to say that bashing someone over a personal preference is usually unfair.
It's perfectly acceptable to dislike someone because of something like that, but to openly rejoice that the man is leaving a job that he worked so hard for because you don't like his voice? Not cool, imo.

So if Peewee Herman started casting NFL matches, then the fans said they didn't like his voice, but then he clung onto the job for another 6 months despite what the fans thought, would you think the fans would have a reason to rejoice after he got booted?
Most of us who dislike moletrap's casting don't care about his personal life, or how much he loves the game, or what he did in the past. We just didn't want him casting those games we wanted to watch (code A GSL).
I find it strange that people are so ready to call us a bunch of illogical haters without really considering that we may simply not like the guy's casting. Try to open your mind a little.

Which official word do you need? He was casting LoL earlier today. That's it. He's gone.
|
I really really really hope he didn't quit casting SC2.
|
He was actually starting to improve. He's still nowhere near Tastetosis or DayJ (WTF happened to DayJ, they were THE BEST casting team around... I say again, WTF?!), but he's tolerable now.
I say keep him.
|
He's a fantastic broadcaster, his sc2 knowledge wasnt quite "Up to par" IMO.
I'll be glad to see him stick to casting 1 game though, and hopefully he'll get right into it and study up more, i enjoyed him most of the time.
