Grubtrap!?

Also, while I agree with many others Moletrap isnt my favourite caster, the hate he gets is completely uncalled for. To me hes just one of those (and theres quite a lot of them) casters who does his job well but without anything extra. Stop expecting everyone to have Apollos game knowledge while being a comedian and play-by-play caster all together.

Why does people hate moletrap so much -_-


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.

no people hate on him because he is bad at what he does, its no greater meaning behind it like you are trying to indicate


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.

because there is only so meny people that actually WANT to go and cast in korea


Who are all worse than Moletrap?

Why don't you name all the good casters that actually want to move to korea and cast there full time? give me 3? excluding the once that are there and doa that wanted to go there


How the fuck are you or I supposed to know who wants to go where? Give it up.

Haha :D its nice that you can't come up with anyone that have said they wanted to go there.. its okey bro also see what the guy under my last post wrote.. less stupid indications and more reality gogo

The hate on moletrap is disgusting. Worst thing about this community. Like Tastless says downright embarrassing at times.

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.

Actually, I didn´t see lots of Tastosis the last couple of months because of work times. The bits I´ve seen made me think they are stagnating or even getting worse.
But that´s not the point. I don´t think Tasteless doesn´t know (or forgets during casts) that you need an armory for 2/2. There are way too many examples for Moletrap not knowing about imo substantial things. Just one more example since I´m not taking notes on this stuff. Once on I think Shakuras, the overlord spotted that the opponent isn´t "close" by air, so he send a drone cross. Moletrap said "I wonder why he is sending the drone cross, maybe he has a special strat for that."

Also, what does Tasteless have to do with this? I already said I´m not hating on his voice or imo bad jokes. I really am mostly annoyed by the lack of knowledge.

i feel the same way, i dont think we have seen all that Grubby is capable of.
I would love for SC2 to "click" with Grubby and that he can show us all what he's really capable of as a pro-gamer.

anyway even if he does cast itll make me watch more. or maybe not if moletrap gets too annoying.

This is just as exciting as hearing that Grubby is going to Korea! Hope it really improves his already outstanding game and looking forward to hearing him cast once again, he's always been great at HSC and IEM.

Yeah, that happens if you scoll down so far in both threads, that you can only see the 'quick post' box :D

Glad that he doesn't skip WCS and I hope the casting doesn't hurt his ability to play, I'd like to see him as player for a little longer ^^

GRubby is really amazing as a caster. Plus this will give him the opportunity to train in Korea since his casting job won't take that much time. Great news !

sounds good.
It's a bit silly to bash a caster but moletrap is indeed quite bad. He just misses or misreads a lot of stuff and his jokes and comments are really awkward. In a duo it's not as worse but still pretty bad.

Tbh I'm not convinced the 2/2 thing wasn't at heat-of-the-moment misspeak/brainfart, but the reason I bring up tasteless is because theres a pretty common double standard when it comes to him and other low-game-knowledge casters. So I'm just curious to see whether would lambast moletrap on the basis of game knowledge but not do the same for tasteless who arguably doesn't have any better game knowledge. Tasteless frequently demonstrates a fundamental lack of knowledge about SC2 strategy and metagame.
