Best of luck to him. I wouldn't mind if HD returned. But if not HD then who?

Ya, Doa + CatsPJs was a petty good casting duo. Is that the reason they had random IPL employees cast with Doa and CatsPJ at random times the last couple of weeks? To sort of find his replacement?

Always liked DoA since he showed up in Code A. Congratulations to the sweet gig, man!

best of luck to Doa, i hope to watch him for the english OSL casts

i hope OGN can offer sayle enough money to cast for them too, that'd be hella interesting, Sayle+Doa casting
although i personally wouldn't mind Moletrap either

He left because he got a better offer at IPL. Him leaving GOM almost left them shorthanded mind you because Khaldor wasn't planning on staying long initially and Moletrap jumped to OGN LOL.


he left because of his wife. now he is about to divorce, which gives him a chance to go back to korea

How do you know that?


He's doing an AMA on Reddit atm and answered that question : http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/xmzmv/hi_im_erik_doa_lonnquist_current_ipl/c5nry77

That fucking blows for him

Doa, back to Korea! Yes! I always thought a real stage suits him more than the backroom casting set the IPL studio looks like!
No offence to IPL, their major events are bar none, even MLG. Their regular streams definitely pale in comparison.

To be blunt, this is a poor decision by OGN. Having doa, and potentially moletrap, casting simply cements their status as the secondary starcraft 2 tournament in Korea (as perceived by nonkoreans). And as such, I doubt this will do much in the way of helping OGN grow their foreign SC2 audience. They would have been much better off securing someone like Sayle which, at the very least, would have set them apart from signing GOM's leftovers.


I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm going to change your opinion on this.



DoA lays down the smackdown : ) I love the confidence, and I ahve faith in it

Since he is moving back to korea because he'll divorce from his wife, I'm feeling a bit sad for him now. Also I would've loved to see him casting the GSL again, since I really don't want to watch moletrap casting SC2 again, so I will go for the korean stream for OSL.
So best of luck and fun for Doa @ OGN!

Also I think, that Kevin Knocke and Doa are one of the very best casting combos we have right now in SC2. So it's really sad to see them break apart

he did such a great job casting with cats. he and cats were becoming my favorite combo. Will be interesting to see who they pick up. Hopefully another great analysis person.

Seriously that blows, sorry to hear for him, but glad he's able to pursue his other passion and best luck to him.

Those who are hating.... Doa was actually a very decent caster then but was still very 'new', if you've watched him cast anything at IPL since then, he's become only better, and I truly believe he'll be a good asset to OGN's casting staff, especially since he's been exposed to the scene for so much longer.
I now have autographs of both BoxeR and NaDa. I can die happy. Lim Yo Hwan and Lee Yun Yeol FIGHTING forever!

Great news. I feel Korea is much better suited for him. IPL really is CatsPyjamas and HDs territory (and PainUser, if he is still casting).

I remember the first time DoA casted on GOM. He had massively positive comments. Hope he carries on.

As much as I don't want to be negative, a good caster has to have either strong charisma and be a good entertainer or have top level in-game knowledge and understanding. DOA is just cpt obvious that is really predictable. Poor OGN :/

But good luck to him nonetheless.

I follow the IPL stream every day. Wouldn't mind seeing HD return now, him and Kevin could be good.

Can't really speak much about DoA. First time I ever listened to IPL was when him and Cats were spamming ANION PULSE-CRYSTALSUUUUUUUUUUU every 5 seconds for the entirety of a match while trying to be funny. I haven't watched an IPL since... Now that he's partnered with moletrap I doubt I'll even be able to attempt to enjoy his casting :/

Charisma yes. But over the top screaming, no. DoA is just a different style of casting. A nice, collective, easy to hear casting. It's the one hand-on-a-nice-cup-of-coffee while watching GSL , type of casting
