Don't worry about the trolls moletrap. If life was fair, you'd be one of the biggest casters in sc2.

To me it's disappointing that with so many good casters already in the SC2 scene OGN had to go with a LOL guy. Grubby, Apollo, Rotterdam etc.would all be better choices and would bring bigger audiences. I guess for them it's a 'two-for-one' deal though- having someone to cast the other game as well.

Man some of you guys are fucking assholes.

When you do half as much for Starcraft that Moletrap has done, you can sit here and talk shit about him in a "farewell" video.

Moletrap, good luck in your future endeavors. I'm glad you got a chance to fulfill your dreams.


What moletrap has done for starcraft? LOL. Look at what Starcraft did for Moletrap. He was the least talented caster in the scene after maybe HD and Husky, and was pretty much derelict when he landed a miracle job with Gom. I have to believe that pity got him that job, and convenience/low cost got him the job with OGN. I think it would be safe to assume that he was the lowest paid caster in Korean SC2. He had the exact same reaction from the fans as Kelly Milkies did, but somehow managed to dig his claws into the scene anyway. People have been hating his casting since the day he began at Gom, but he stuck around like a parasite, ruining game after game with his overzealous shoutcasting. I think that this was a desperation move in his life much more so than anything he really earned or deserved.

He was the sidekick to the best English caster that BW had to offer, which really isn't saying much for those days. This should have happened ages ago when hundreds of complaints rose about his casting style. He rode that title WAY further than it should have ever been ridden.


Sorry Moletrap, your passion was there but that doesn't translate to casting ability. GL finding an outlet, or possibly a marketable skill, within the world of e-sports.


How about, cast videos, bring interviews with professional players, give news on non-streamed/casted games, and move to Korea where he does not know many people to try and bring more content for fans of the game?

What the fuck have YOU done for Starcraft?

Best Sc2 Moletrap moment. Good luck with everything Moletrap, hopefully you'll move to a game with a less terrible community where your casting will be appreciated.

Your casting was great in BW. You knew what was happening, and were actually into your casts. SC2 I was/am still not a fan. I really do hope though, that you get a job in esports, and live well with your family.

best of luck, it takes alot of dedication and commitment to do what you did, even through all of the hate you receive. Hopefully more people will appreciate and realize how tough it is to sometimes follow your passion, instead of taking a safe route. Good luck to you

Moletrap is such an open, friendly guy with so many great stories to tell about his time in Korea. He helped out a lot when I was there earlier this year and my trip wouldn't have been as interesting or as fun without him.

It must be tough to let Korea go now but I hope you do well with whatever you choose to do now, Moletrap.

Not going to be missed by alot.

I was thinking this was what would happen after one of the ogn admins said on the stream chat that they're changing the english casters.

Really glad this happened, as I couldn't even enjoy the osl finals with molecrap casting.

Same. Moletrap basically ruined the OSL finals for me with his screaming and squeaking and crying onstream. It was very much ridiculous; I love the OSL and it needs serious English casters for people to take it as seriously as it really ought to be taken. It was sad to see the OSL be this great, awesome tournament with amazing games trying to compete with GSL but just failing miserably because GSL has Tasteless and Artosis and OSL had the biggest joke caster duo of all-time in moletrap and doh-uh.

My god, do you people really need to post in this thread just to bash Moletrap? He's not casting OSL anymore. Why are you still bitching? What's wrong with you people?

Remember in those youtube days, moletrap is the only one constantly casting for many years, always presented great passion, friend with almost all those youtube casters. Some of the other casters are much better than Moletrap, but they stopped casting after 1 or 2 years. He's the leader of youtube casting at that time.

the shit some people have always gone through the effort to give to moletrap has always seemed to me like an extent of cyberbullying and bandwagoning meant to attack him as a person at least as much as it has seemed like legitimate criticism of his work. the way some people are jumping into his farewell thread to gloat and shit on him makes me sad to feel right about that.

i have you to thank for originally getting me into BW. good luck with your future endeavours, moletrap

The first Iron Squid didn't make community news but one of the worse caster I've ever heard (nothing personal, just my opinion) moving from a country to another does. It's not sad, he did not say he had a terrible disease, he's just moving for Pete's sake, who doesn't?
Ban me all you want but this is just weird.

As much as I may have disliked his casting, the guy still deserves all the respect. He had passion that I think a lot of current people in the industry lack. Good luck in the future man!
