 Sad to see him go, I thought Doa was a great fit at IPL.That said, super excited to see Doa in Korea again, with OGN no less! edit: Oh wow horrible comments in here. | ||

I think Doa is supposed to be the analytical caster with Moletrap being the play by play HYPE caster. Edit: And in all honesty, Doatrap was a pretty good duo. And that was without Doa's experience. Now he has a ton. I'm definitely looking forward to it. I don't know what it was about Doa and Kevin, but they managed to anti-hype even the best of matches. They just sounded boring as a duo. It was probably Kevin's super smooth voice that didn't allow for much HYPE. | ||

I saw the title and was kinda sad and wondered what he would do next. I was pleasantly surprised to see that he was leaving one gig for another. Hopefully they find him a suitable partner to cast with. I'll be honest and say that I didn't hate moletraps casting but I think it would be to much for him to cast two completely different games at the same time. Would be crazy if they somehow got Apollo to cast with him! | ||

Most proleague followers love the korean casting and the ones that don't enjoy it watch Sayle instead, which has a pretty big following from both "BW" and "SC2" people now. And it seems like OGN are going for DoA and Moletrap(?) and thats a duo the community didn't like when they were at GOM. So unless they are going to hunt down restreams (or if Sayle stop casting live) it just feels like the offical english stream will catch the short end of the stick here. As far as I know, Teamliquid only features the restream because OGN did not provide an English stream before. So the whole Sayle restreaming the event will (probably) stop after OGN introduces an English stream. The other point is, when it comes to a foreigner audience, OGN probably does not care about the pre-existing watchers. They are putting up the stream to market to the SC2 foreign audience, not the old BW foreign one. Personally, I don't like casting in a language I don't understand, and don't particularly enjoy Sayle's style either. Looking forward to the official English stream. | ||

I always thought they both fell somewhere in between in the whole analytical vs play-by-play debate. Besides, how many purely "analytical casters" are there out there? I can think of three with Artosis, Apollo, Day9. Bitterdam deserve a mention that they can do pretty deep analysis both while still doing play-by-play. You have to consider that those 5 guys can't be everywhere at once. | ||
