Ugh dont like grubby at all. hes a mediocre player at best and less than sub par caster. Tastosis is getting a lot of off time now why won't they cast anyway

They won't cast OSL because it is a direct competitor to GSL. Tasteless has stated this in 1 or 2 interviews i believe.

Calling Grubby "mediocre at best" is also a pretty "meh" statement :D

Sweet, Grubby is one of my favorite casters. It's always nice to have a caster that knows what they're talking about. ATM, the only caster that fits this bill is Artosis and other player-casters. And as far as player-casters go, Grubby is probably the most charismatic and articulate caster out of all them. And I love his vocabulary. I usually learn a new word each cast he makes.

Grubby casting in OSL is a great idea. Paid to be in Korea. Excellent chance to analyse top players during casting and practice outside hours.

For a long time Tastosis was the only caster duo I could stand watching. However with the recent decline in their enthusiasm (check out "Tastosis highlights" on YouTube, and compare them to the way they cast now), as well as the awesomeness that is khaldor/wolf, it made me think twice. And that was that it is very much possible for new caster duos to surpass the archons them self. Grubby / Doa could be the very birth of something really fresh that the community needs. Till then, wolfdor always leaves me satisfied with their enthusiastic and synchronised "GG" at the end of each match!

I agree with everything you said!

WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Maybe, just maybe the insanely great cast of Grubby can overshadow the complete (sorry, but i have to say) trash Moletrap produces so maybe we can have some great casts

Always love hearing Grubby cast in Homestory Cup, and commentate on his stream. Best of luck with this Grubby!

I've really enjoyed the commentating Grubby has done so far. Him casting for the OSL will be a great addition. I hope that he will have time to participate in tournaments in Korea when he's not casting.

Grubby is one of my favourite casters, this is great news. Hopefully if he points out and corrects every bs that moletrap talks, then the overall cast could be watchable.

Haha poor grubby. The curse of the gifted.

I always find it hilarious how in every interview, everyone asks him about casting, and he always says that yes he would consider pursuing a career in casting, after he's sixty years old and can no longer compete as a player.
But he is just too gifted and everyone wants him, because he is one of the most eloquent and charismatic dudes around, and he knows what he is talking about.

Good luck grubby! I hope you can continue to play and compete!

I honestly don't understand how anyone can hate Grubby as a caster.

Good choice by OGN. Going after the European market since Gom has the most popular American casters.

Grubby is an awesome caster and the OSL casts are surely gonna be awesome.
But I still hope to see him become one of the best as a player rather than a caster.

I think Grubby has proven many times he's good at whatever he puts his mind to. This can only mean good things for both Grubby and OSL.

His analysis is top notch, and insight is tier 3.

I wish people would finally stop using these types of arguments. We as viewers are perfectly entitled to critic casters. We do not exist for them to use as practice audience, they exist to entertain us and are we not entertained then they should not keep their job. Moletrap as far as I can tell is not entertaining the majority and alot of people chose not to watch because of him as a caster.

The silent minority is who hates him. Saying that most people aren't entertained is stupid and baseless. A couple hundred loudmouthed TLers is not a majority.

As far as I can tell. I have to base it on something and if everyone who likes him keeps quiet on the forums I read then thats an unfortunate coincidence but still remains true. Out of all the comments ive seen sub 10% has been moletrap friendly. What conclusion should I draw? Im not saying its THE TRUTH, im saying thats what it looks like. If people really like him they should start defending him instead of keeping quiet.

This thread (as an example) is over 40% Moletrap friendly.

and the comments below every gomtv VOD ive read that he has casted has been completly anti moletrap. I do not know why we are discussing this anyways, that was not the point, if it makes you feel better thinking that moletrap is generally approved as a caster by the community do so. Hes most certinly a very nice person and all and I dont wish him bad things I just dont want to watch things he casts in SC2.. But ive besides kelly milkies ive seen no caster getting so much hatred as moletrap and certinly that says something? We can argue % here and there but it doesnt matter, none of us knows anything for a fact.

Im leaving this now, I was only tired seeing someone yet again whining about casters getting bashed, if people dont like them it should be perfectly fine to say so.

Look at the title of this thread. Look at what you're posting.

Can't you at least keep this shit in the right place?

Are you stupid or what is your problem? I responded on a post in this thread that was about the way people critic casters and wether or not it should be done. I was in no way intending to start a discussion about moletraps be or not to be. You are the one who started that part of the discussion by claiming my "information" (that I never ever said was anything but personal experience). was false. Then after keeping that topic alive you whine on me for doing so? Get a grip.

As a huge grubby fan I have no problem with him casting the OSL until he gets his beta key. Once grubby can teleport units like in wc3 these x starcraft players gonna seem like scrubs, grubby is gonna bring the noise big time. If he can escape from fungals and emp's with the help of teleporting back to nexus, gg grubby gonna dominate.
