You know whats going to suck? I bet Doa/Moletrap(or whoever B Team is) will be casting the Super Tournament as well. :(

With Day9 heading to Korea very soon and something "unannounced that Artosis couldn't announce on SotG" I believe we will see Tastosis + Day9 casting the super tournament.

Moletrap is terrible, The other guy is fine. Need Day9 and DoA and like Tastosis as the other crew. Now that would make both watchable. I hate that Moletrap guy, he tries way to hard to oversell the 'awesome moments of the game' and he never seems to shut up. I liked the girl I couldnt understand better.

Moletrap has his moments.

But I agree, it does seem like he tries really hard to be funny.

no

I don't feel the same about the moletrap hate- I think he's fine and he & doa have a bit of chemistry together. I'm pretty sure doa will be gone before moletrap though

He also seems to have a problem where Doa will make a joke, and he.. doesn't get it.. and says the same joke but in a less intelligent way..

Kpop is a go.



It feels like Moletrap and Doa are the "same person" when it comes to casting. They both want to 'take charge' during certain moments in the game / intro / outro(TWEET US X ON BREAK) / etc. They really need to get that analytical person like Artosis is to help out, Kelly was smart about the game but sadly her accent was just so bad and made it hard to understand what she was saying lol.

It also comes down to the fact that a large reason why I watch the GSL is due to tastosis, them not being there makes me lose interest very quickly.

The best analytical commentators are going to be players or ex-players and there just aren't enough of those commentating let alone willing to go to Korea purely for commentary

Yeah, they really do need some with the great knowledge that artosis has and to a lesser extent, tasteless.

That's one thing that is missing in the NASL too. Hopefully with Idra casting some games this week will bring that in. I don't play SC2 much and i suck, so it's great to hear why a player is doing what he is.

Yeah, one of the problems is Moletrap and Doa are both color commentators. Neither play the game at a level where they can comment like Artosis or Day9 do.

I think Incontrol would be a fine analytical commentator if he could gain a grasp on the English language so he wasn't correcting himself or walking all over what he's saying half the time.

That's probably true. He's gotten much better. Just get rid of gretorp ffs already. He's incredibly boring, ugh.

haha, I forgot about that. I usually tune him out, but sunday stands out as being so, so bad. I think incontrol called him out a few times too.

Almost go time! MVP woo

I hate his constant use of the word 'altercation'. I have no idea why it annoys me, but it does. As soon as he uses that word, I end up muting the stream.

Weird, I know.

Because the way he emphasizes the word to make you know he's using it, rather than being a normal part of speaking. It's definitely annoying, but compared to gretorp he's jesus frickin christ.

He's like a smart arse kid who has learnt some big words and wants to make sure you know he knows them.

Rather than some one who is actually smart and just uses them without thinking.

Watched vods, whooo Huk! Baller celebration. Held that first game very well and the second game MMAs build was ridiculously unsafe but well executed 4gate nonetheless.

The ZvZs were funny...

Did they need to rush through this all terran group? I thought the patch mainly impacted protoss.

Moletrap talks too much sometimes, totally cutting off DoA... That just looks bad.

That is exactly my problem too, they have little chemistry together in terms of casting flow and their senses of humour don't really mesh. But they both are solid commentators so it could be a lot worse.
