Moletrap + Doa won't work, not because they're bad casters or anything, it won't work because they're both play-by-play guys and won't really have much to say in terms of analyzing matches. I'm hoping it will be Doa + someone else.

I also hope for the sake of OGN's promotion to the west that whoever the casters are, they do a good job at knowing players and their shit. Obviously Moletrap's got some really good BW knowledge, but a lot of newer KeSPA rookies have come on since he shifted focus to LoL/SC2, and for goodness sake I don't want him calling another player a "scrub" like he called Sculp.

Ouch, just read in Doa's AMA that he's getting divorced. Sad to hear man. Good luck at OGN!

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.

Good response. ^^ I hope so!

Hope it goes well. I always liked the terrible Star Wars jokes snd stuff when he casted GSL with Wolf. I haven't kept up with him too much since he transferred to IGN but assuming he's been playing a lot and bringing up his game knowledge, I see no reason why this wouldn't be a good pickup.

Doa, what's your history with BW? I'd prefer casters with extensive experience with both games, so they understand the Kespa celebrities that have entered the scene and their careers and brands. That said, I'd prefer other casters over Moletrap.

I've always suspected SC > Marriage, and this only serves as confirmation.

Good for him, OGN and us as viewers .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

When will he start casting OSL? This current season? Or not until the next one?

???

I'd like to hear why you think IGN/IPL isn't putting on a good production. Because this just sounds retarded.


I'll ignore your post seeing as your reply sounds like a fanboy who states that it's retarded at the slightlest dislike.

Good luck in Korea once again Doa! Keep up the passion and keep on improving. I sitll have my doubts about your casting but I'm more than willing to be proven wrong! Fighting!

I just dislike Moletrap's casting. I'd take you with anyone else anyday.

Waaaah. Doa + Kevin were like the new Tastosis. Very sad to see IPL lose such an amazing duo.

Interesting development. Looking forward to seeing what OGN will have in store for us.

All the best, Doa and IPL!

I'm curious as to who will be Kevin Knocke's new partner at IPL. Knocke is one of my favorite casters on the scene alongside Tastosis, TotalBiscuit and Chill, and I hope that IPL keeps on delivering top-tier content in the future.

On a different topic, isn't OGN content mainly targetted at Korean audiences? I have very little interest in what OGN has to offer based on what I've seen from them so far (SC2 and LoL-wise), so it kind of surprises me that they keep absorbing english-speaking casters... I miss Moletrap

You don't want to watch OSL?

Now that you mention it, will OSL admit non-KeSPA players next season? I'm under the impression that OSL = KeSPA players only, but I'm not sure. If they admit outside players into the OSL and we can see some top-tier play, then I might be interested


Yes, you can see that in the current OSL groups for the upcoming season.
