Of course he isn't perfect, but he does outstanding casts of Starcraft games. | ||

Now that he has experience - he just makes gsl worth watching and its no surprise big tournaments are flying him everywhere to be their main caster. I think you will find you are alone with you opinion about Wolf - the man deserves WAY more credit than he gets, nevermind criticism | ||

Wolf also provides a good level of analysis, sometimes he might be a bit too critical of a players decisions, but anyone who has casted at all knows how easy of a trap this is to fall into. It's easy for even a silver league player to criticize a pro's decisions when he can see the entire map (much like someone commentating poker) and also when he can talk about things and decisions after they have played out and the caster has the advantage of hindsight as well as being able to see how each player stands after the engagement. Also it seems more common that professional games are lost by 1 player making an error or bad call, rather than the harder to detect subtle good decisions that player made up until that point that are basically irrelevant at the end of the a losing game. People will also criticize a caster for being overly positive about a player as well, so it's a tough balance to manage. If I'm being 100% honest, a major detractor to Wolf's casting for me (and I realize how stupid this is, I feel stupid even writing it, but since this is a feedback thread I will) is his terrible posture. He is always so slouched over in his chair, it looks kind of childish and unprofessional. Still, Wolf is a good caster and it is obvious to anyone who has watched him since his early days at GOM that he has made leaps and bounds on his way to becoming a better caster, and it has helped to have him with Khaldor as opposed to Doa and Moletrap. | ||

he has good casting skills, but his comments on gameplay have many flaws. its painful to listen to him for anyone who has above silver league knowledge imo | ||

I find his commentating very fun, but when i watch games commentated by him i have no clue what is going on the map. GOM doesnt really seem to understand that a large part of their viewers actually want to learn something from the games they watch. For me id like them to get some good player(Catz would be pure gold for GOM imo) to do the analysis and have Wolf do his thing. I've heard that Wolf ladders a lot and is masters on KR/TW actually. | ||

 Oh, and the biggest issue I had with Wolf was him always going on about how he created x protoss build on the ladder in beta, but I don't think he's done that so much recently. | ||

What bothers me is how annoying his laughter is and how he constantly laughs at his own jokes. | ||

"He really should be moving his army here!" (know what I mean?) When I first listened to Wolf on GSL, I was really glad gom chose him. He has the excitement, the voice, the looks (kekek), and pretty good at the analysis thing. | ||
