Grubby is a really amazing caster, one of my favorite english caster.
But I hope it will not take him to much time, so he can continue to reach the top of foreigner level.

Grubby is a player first, caster second, afaik. He won't take it if it infringes too much on his practice time.


From a career viewpoint it makes more sense to just go full time casting. More popularity, less stress, more stability and long term financial potential. Grubby is a good player as well as caster, I think it would be a wise move to take the job.

I am all for it. Less Moletrap and more Grubby is good news.

Well juggling between playing and casting can be difficult, however no matter Grubby's decision, I will support him.

btw Moletrap is a decent caster I think he did a fine job. Personally I find it hard to believe that people refuse to watch a tournament just because they don't enjoy the commentating. Also afaik OSL has korean casters too so it's all good. All in all, I think that a true Starcraft enthusiast is here to watch games, regardless of the casting quality.



i watched the games, i just watched the korean cast instead this morning. Now while this isnt a bad thing, if many people start watching the korean cast the english stream viewer numbers go down. If osl starts to think they casting for just a odd few people, they might not even bother with english cast.


So its in our interest to get the english cast viewer numbers as high as possible to show OSL that we do infact care about the tournament. Sadly moletrap will only run viewers, myself included.


Hoping to see grubby/doa combination. But if grubby cant go because he is player first i understand. He also has a wife, so this is a huge decision for him, Does he bring his wife? does she stay home? . I dont think there is any denying that going to korea to cast will be helpful to both his casting and playing career since he will get the korean ladder to train on.

I hope grubby won't stop playing, my fav player since something like 2007 when I first saw him play.

I don't know if I can see this as a good thing myself. I love Grubby's casting, but as evident from all those behind the scene GOM videos, there's a lot more to casting then just showing up for a x amount of hours and talking.


Tastosis said they decide their plan on the train in. I'm not sure what this extra time-consuming process could be.

I hope that he will still be playing if he takes the casting job, he still needs to be the first foreigner to win Code S championship.

I would love it.

Grubby would probably make lots of more people watch OSL. Whenever he casts a lot of people compliment him.

Even if Grubby would cast I don't think it would take that much from his practice, in a way it would help him as he would analyze games for his own good as well.

Would love to see Grubby casting the OSL, his voice is soothing and he knows his stuff.

Don't be so nasty against Moletrap, he's doing his best to bring us some exciting commentaries and I bet that most of you aren't able to cast better than him... Talking trash of people is so easy when we're behind our keyboard...

Antway, I really wish Moletrap to stay, and i find that he got better today. Note that he was alone and casting the OSL is not easy. Plus, if Grubby joins it would be very cool, but don't throw away Moletrap... He's fine imo.

Grubby's casting is great! But he's getting so much better at SC2 that I don't know if he wants to become a caster all the way in Korea though...

This is potentially awesome, that said I hope it doesn't affect Grubby's rise as a player. Also genuinely don't think Moletrap is that bad, gets a bit of a hard time here

Moletrap's issue (to my ears) was that he sometimes ignores his co-casters. Other than that he's great, esp. with DoA.

Nothing against Grubby, I just don't think that makes sense for him unless he is looking to retire as a progamer. But that's obvious his decision so I have nothing to say either way. I just post here because some people spew unwarranted hate toward Moletrap, while being blindly fanboys thinking anything will make Grubby happy.

That would be pretty awesome. He's a fantastic caster, and I don't think covering the OSL will take too much time out of his practice. In fact, it might give him some extra motivation and insight into his own play!

I have heard Grubby a few times and he seems OK. I would like to see Incontrol there though
