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. I'd never have gotten into RTS or SC or SC2 at all if it wasn't for Moletrap and those like him who casted BW when no one else did. I'm not alone in this, I assure you. You should spend your time doing things other than spewing hatred. | ||

Moletrap really loves sc2, but he's just not a great caster. Even though, still better fail at trying than regret for your whole life. And I don't think he failed at any aspect, he is a successful caster. | ||

I can't believe he said that Husky/HD are untalented. They get me really hyped up when I watch a game. The only think I dislike about Husky is his community. Other than that, I've never been a big fan of moletrap. I hold huge respect for him though since he's had a lot of haters yet he kept on trucking doing his job. Hope the future bodes well for him. | ||

It might also have the fact that he has big shoes to fill, especially with Artosis/Tasteless/Wolf/Khaldor. I think the hatred is quite immature to be honest. | ||

Translating interviews for KeSPA players Get a small tour of OGN studio/Intel stadium Get to know OGN staff Work for OGN during TVing OSL Finals Get to know players/coaches. People open tend to criticize him because they don't like his voice. However, what people don't realize is that Moletrap sacrificed so much for eSports (i.e. sometimes waiting all day long at the preliminaries, hoping that he gets an interview). And for that, I thank you. Hopefully I can see you casting and/or interviewing in the near future. Thank you for everything. But like what OGN said, "It's the new beginning, not the end." Right? | ||

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. It's always so easy for someone to say this. But have you ever considered how much of a change in life that would be for the people you named? All of these have personal relationships, friends, jobs, or other commitments in their respective countries or places of residence. If they really were up for it, don't you think they would have come forward by now? If someone came up to you out of the blue and said "Hey, why don't you move to the other side of the planet tomorrow and stay/work there indefinitely? Don't mind the much different culture and language, but leave everything behind." I'm sure you wouldn't readily agree to that either. People sure lack empathy these days. | ||
