Not a good sign for the prosperity of esports, as i doubt he left willingly. but it does say a lot about the communities effect on casters such as him.
hope he does well in LoL

I don't think this will be the last we see of moletrap casting sc2. With the new sc2 proleague rumors emerging him casting that isn't to far of a stretch. He also knows the bw scene so he would a good caster to actually educate the sc2 viewer on all the new faces.

I thought this was already known but wondered why no-one really wrote any news post on it. At any rate it's a great opportunity for him and TorcH (he's co-caster right?)

Best of luck to him.

I loved Moletrap's BW commentaries on Violetak's channel back when I started watching BW. I liked his Gom casting at first because he brings some good energy, but his game knowledge wasn't great and he didn't always have a co-caster that he fit well with (not his fault, just happens). Still, I never really had a problem with his casting and didn't think he deserved the copious amount of LR hatred he got. I hope things work out well for him at OGN.

Never been a big fan of him, but watched him cast LoL (not really fan of game either) few days ago and he was doing really great job there. He put much more love to his shoutcasting than in SC2. I wish him good luck!

I can't say I'm disappointed, not my favorite castor, but a decent one nonetheless, he'll make a good addition to LoL. Good luck.

Well, they really did not make a fuzz about it. Never really liked his casting, but the dude definately deserves more credit than the "kthxbai" they apparently gave him. no?

His LoL casting is actually not that bad. I still think that western events should adopt the three caster system that Koreans have. Gives each guy more breathing and thinking room to actually say meaningful stuff.

Wow this thread of full of ban baiters, so I'll refrain from posting insulting rebuttals to the ignorant posters in this thread and say good luck Moletrap. I'll be watching.

Well, I for one LIKED Moletrap. There, now you can all ridicule me instead. He doesn't deserve it.

watched him cast LoL awhile ago, he is much better at it. Actually he was really good at it imo, since LoL has more small engagements and ganks, he makes it much more interesting than his usual sc2 cast

Hmm... with Wolf away on holidays, does this mean that Khaldor will be solo casting both Code A sessions tomorrow?

I wasn't really a fan of Moletrap, but glad he's found something else with the OGN LoL thing.

LoL confirmed for never taking off as an esport now. I hear Kelly Milkies is already casting DOTA 2 now as well. At this rate the only MOBA game that serves as any threat to sc2 and bw is Blizzard DOTA. I just wish we got another substitute code A caster now.

Huh. I quite liked him if he was paired up with a good analytical caster. He always seemed so extremely enthusiastic about the game.

Glhf Moletrap.

OR its the return of Tastosis to Code A (dun Dun DUN).

Ontopic:

Not a friend of Moletraps SC2 casting (can't say anything about his BW background), but good luck and have fun with LoL @ OGN.

Moletrap did a pretty good job casting, and I must admit that I will miss his "NOOOOO" when a hatchery is barely saved or something. I always laugh to myself.

I actually might miss a bit of Moletrap in GSL. He often went out of his way to bring in out-of-game knowledge about the players and their histories and statistics rather than try to ramble off topic to fill the time. Also, I respect the passion he had when casting, which was more than what I heard from other casters despite his rather controversial casting abilities.

This is the rest of how I feel. It's why I never understood all the caster hate on the guy.
