Because Moletrap was a huge part of western RTS eSports BEFORE it was cool. Jealousy, ignorance and the usual internet forum shit. What I don't understand is why mindless caster bashing isn't moderated into oblivion. I'm not talking about TLers voicing a criticism, I'm talking about the "If Moletrap casts, I'll pull my ears off" type posts.

The hate on moletrap is disgusting. Worst thing about this community. Like Tastless says downright embarrassing at times.
I love Grubby as caster and a player, will enjoy hearing him cast.


I agree, i don't understand why he gets so much hate, there are much worst caster out there. And even if you don't like his casting, there are ways to say it...

OT Grubby is an amazing caster and it will give him the opportunity to play on the Korean ladder, maybe he will try to qualify for GSL :p ?

Of course you´re right, there´s no reason to hate. But you have to be allowed to say when you don´t like a caster. He chose to earn his money by doing a job that is highly dependant on if his audience likes him. If it doesn´t he needs to improve. And I´m not talking about his voice or bad jokes. It´s just absolutely annoying how he has no idea about the GAME. There are so many things he seems to don´t know. Like today when he told us that 2/2 is halfway through for Mvp and in the next sentence speaks about that his armory is just finishing. Or when he didn´t predict at all the immortal push for Flying which was very obvious to anybody who watched some high level SC2 the last year. Instead he talked about an Robo exp or soemthing like that. I absolutely can´t tolerate stuff like this. It freaks me out.

Good games are exciting by themselves. I for one want a caster who makes the game a bit more interesting by EXPLAINING (not guessing) what might be the next move or what´s going through the player´s heads. Moletrap often predicts and acts like he knows anything. This actually makes it even more difficult for me to tolerate his complete lack of knowledge.

OT: Obviously, I love Grubby´s casting. Big gratz to him for a great move.



I trust you voice the same criticism for Tasteless.

If he's so bad at what he does, why did the biggest SC2 tournament on earth fly him to Korea and pay him to cast?

Because he's bad, I guess.

I've only heard Moletrap casts recently since OSL (I started sc2 in march and mosty followed korean bw casts before then) and I have to say I like his casting. Grubby should be a nice colour commentator to go with him.

Wow, what a dick move, are people trying to get moletrap to quit casting? I mean its fine to not like someone but bashing someone who is dependent on a particular job to get people to fire him is kinda a dick move.

I think it's the other way around, Moletrap is more the color guy.

Mixed feelings about this one...

Grubby is an awesome caster, but he is one of the few foreigners who can take on Code A/ Code S koreans..

They didn't fly him to Korea. They picked him because he was the ONLY non-korean guy in Korea that could do the job.

He was already in Korea.

And riddle me this, why is he the ONLY caster in Korea that doesn't get flown to other tourneys to cast?

It really is a sweet deal for everybody. Grubby gets to train a little in the korean ladder and watching high-level strategies may also help him and hive him ideas. Grubby can also promote a little more his image in the asian gaming market. OGN gets a very good caster, with a good follow-up in the international community. It also shows they are not completely oblivious of the foreign scene.
