He's definitely not the greatest caster out there but I just don't see how people can make him out to be that bad. My vote is that his casting is average now and he has to improve, one thing for sure is that he needs to improve his knowledge of sc2, I find some of the things that he says are not exactly right and unlike other top casters his insights are not up to a certain level yet. He casts LoL as well, his SC2 analysis will never be on par with casters who focus purely on SC2. | ||

But over time his casting has deteriorated significantly. I think maybe he just got burnt out on the game. My best advice would be to take a vacation or something, and seriously consider if he wants to continue this as a career. His youtube casts were great back in the day, but nowadays he seems so exhausted all the time. And he makes a lot of mistakes in his casts because of it. | ||

I'm reserving judgement until he casts with grubby. Thing is, Moletrap has always done much better in a solo cast environment than a dual caster environment. He's said himself that he is much more comfortable solo casting than dual casting. I think the only caster I've seen synergize with Moletrap well is Doa. | ||

The trouble is that there isn't much of 'the best' to choose from. Tastosis is with GOM and that isn't going to change, and there are very few english casters who will dedicate their lives and go to Korea to cast - it is a huge commitment. Given these circumstances Moletrap is the natural choice. ++++Grubby is coming and he is good man | ||

Moletrap was one of the most loved casters in Brood War, I'm not sure whether it's the community which has changed or his casting. He seems the exact same thinking on his casting before and after. He was really good at BW. Also here's Moletrap and Klazart casting that infamous MSL Flash vs Jaedong Finals: (Also Moletrap's thought on Jaedong given the win at around 24 minutes and 30 seconds. Basically he understands and makes the point it would have been unfair to Jaedong too if they did a rematch [in any case, it's a lose lose all around as it's hard to make the right calls].) As you can see in the video (they start talking about the game instead of the players a minute in), Moletrap is much better in BW than in SC2 (especially with co casting). Moletrap was good in BW. He knew all the players, he knew most of the strategies, he basically knew most of the stuff needed to cast BW. | ||

That said I hate when people talk over each other, and Moletrap had tendency to do that. It isn't nearly as bad as Painuser, but he had tendency to do so. | ||

Sadly he maybe just lacks the passion for sc2 idk. | ||

One major difference is that in BW, Moletrap definitely paid attention to every detail and basically memorized all the builds everyone used. In SC2, he doesn't do this as often. I wonder why's that? I definitely hope he regains his passion for SC. In BW, you can tell he was passionate for the game. In SC2, it doesn't seem he's as interested which is disappointing. | ||

So for me the whole "casters need skill"-discussion is absolutely useless. And everyone who "hates" a specific caster just tells me that his opinion is worthless. +1 Casters need to be good at casting and love it. I really don;t think a high level of skill is required at the game. Diamond / masters should be enough. | ||
