I think now he's getting a lot smoother and coming off a lot less nervous. Overall I would have to disagree with people who say he is only an average caster, I think you would have a hard time not classifying him in the top tier of casters. Compared to Apollo, their casting styles, mannerisms, sense of humor, and slightly inflated confidence level, are almost identical, so it seems funny to say that Apollo is top tier and Wolf is not. Wolf seems to be getting better and better every season, the only feedback I would have for him is to be a bit more humble, and otherwise keep doing whatever he's doing...it's working. | ||

He's become a staple of the GSL just like Tastosis for me. He has become the voice of Code A and while other people have come on gone including Moletrap, Kelly, etc., he's stood the test of time. | ||

It's so obvious that much of his analysis is based on hindsight rather than prior knowledge. When he casted alongside dApollo for Dreamhack, the gap in true knowledge is apparent even though Wolf seems to be a know-it-all while dApollo was unsure in certain match-ups or certain styles. This is basically the Dunning-Kruger effect. Likewise Mr.Bitter is better at analyzing zerg while Rotterdam is better at analyzing Protoss. They don't pretend to know everything. They'll be cases where they'll be like "We've never seen this before. Let's learn this new style together." and that's better than using hindsight and acting as if you knew it all along. This is why when Rotterdam says that he knows a certain European player's style or has talked to him, I believe him but not when Wolf claims to "know" a Korean player. | ||

Him like everyone not named Apollo (and I'm including Artosis, Grubby who are amazing analytical casters) are not great at casting Terran games. He misses a lot and generally doesn't have great things to say when he is casting Terran not vs. Protoss. Saying Bio is worse than Mech and trying to hammer the point like Artosis is terrible. It makes them sound like they don't know anything when TONS of pro players think that both are very viable (including MVP). MMA has the highest TvT ELO (and is probably the best at TvT in the world) and absolutely never Mechs and dismantles Mech players routinely. Sure theorycrafting if someone plays perfect that Mech should be better is fine but these guys aren't Flash. Given the current crop of players Mech and Bio are equally viable and mostly Map and Player dependent. | ||

I also liked all the other gigs he did with other casters but i think he mashes really well with Khaldor, because they have a good mentality and try and help each other. He is funny and knows what he his talking about. keep it up | ||

I'm not going to vote till I see if he changes. I'd like to vote excellent, but the current level of player bashing makes me wants to turn him off. | ||

Love the awkward jokes with Khaldor sometimes. Edit: dammit, I keep editing because I forget about all the great casters... | ||

No doubt that you have to learn from the best and living in Korea, casting in that environment it's no doubt Artosis and Tasteless are a huge influence and would be to anyone in that position, but Wolf should be more comfortable putting his own personality out there and develop more of his own style, rather than making me watch a hackneyed Artosis impression. | ||

also the Ladder skill level of a caster does not mean he knows nothing about the game, he spends time watching top level players play, and its his job to understand and watch , not play at a masters level it's totally different, just because "polt is the best terran in the world" doesn't mean wolf should never say when he thinks he does something wrong, he probably understands the game just as well as some of these players. | ||

Extremely solid casting and funny, nerdy banter, that's exactly what I want. Keep doing what you do, you're awesome! | ||

1. Stop mimicking Artosis's mannerisms, it's awful. 2. Stop calling battles's you clearly don't know the outcome of. Khaldor calls you out (indirectly) on this sooo many times. 3. Stop incorrectly rating players or calling the game before it even starts. You just confuse noobs who don't watch enough to know better. other than that, you can be a great analytical caster... just try being yourself a little more and being more objective instead of trying to skip ahead to whatever predetermined result you think will occur in various situations. | ||
