Tasteless = likes to repeat obvious shit in a overdramatized fashion like "here we can see him building a supply depot by his ramp, which is very useful because blah blah...." every. single. cast.
d.Apollo = judging from iem this guy just rarely makes any sense what so ever. Makes a lot of stupid predictions and super obvious statements, take this gem from tarson vs. dimaga: "reapers against roaches.... reapers can actually take them down because they can actually move backwards, forwards, left and right... and they do a lot of damage."
and I hate his accent.
Day[9] = talks overly abstract about simple things, goes on for thirty minutes about the importance of proper overlord scouting patterns. Makes weird noises.
Husky = well I'm not really sure about this guy but from what I've seen he likes to start out every game by declaring "I have so much shit to talk to you about today; number one... etc".. By midgame he might start commenting on the game anyway he's kinda funny I guess.
Chill = "uhm, I'm not really sure what's going on right now..." usually indicating the player is doing something horribly wrong. According to chill every player in every game ever played are deviating from some strange norm that apparently only chill is aware of.
Thegunrun = is equally as clueless as tasteless but makes up for it by sounding like an early morning jazz radio dj. Scan actually fills in with something relevant every once in a while.
Artosis = Perfection. Is so passionate about starcraft it shows through in all of his casts. Brings lots of relevant insightful comments on the game all while keeping up perfectly with the minimap.
what else?

HD = "this is HUUUUUUUUUUGE", "if this goes down it's gonna be HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE"
Incontrol = so good I don't know why he isn't doing more commentary. makes genuinely funny and witty jokes and knows what he's talking about
raelcun = has a minor case of the uptalk. sometimes when he's speaking it sounds like he's talking to a baby and makes me quite uncomfortable actually.

These are pretty accurate imo. Unfortunately I think there are a lot of casters who have annoying verbal tics.
But hey, I'll give them a little leeway if their actual casting is good.
|
True, why explain such simple things as walling and overlord pattern? I mean, people who aren't in diamond league aren't supposed to watch streams, right?
|
i think its nice that not all casters cast the same way, it's like different flavors for your sc2!
|
Tasteless = misusing the word "metagame"
SDM: likes inserting random quotes from "Sun Tzu Art of War" and apply it to the game. =D
|
Dustin Browder - "terrible terrible damage!"
now, on a more serious point, i have only really seen Day9, and I don't haven't found much of anything to complain about the way he casts other than how he stresses the significance of one tiny "blunder" of decision.
|
Day9's abstraction is why he's worth listening to.
|
Cholera - Random Reach story that makes you gay.

how fucking dare you diss day9, how fucking dare you, who the fuck do you think you are? you think you know shit? you know nothing, your not worthy to fucking lick the ground where that man has walked so just stfu and go back to 6pooling every game in gold.
but ya tastless really is just there for the "panda bear guy" and the "OMG" stuff
|
SDM/Artosis: bla bla bla *talks about something important about the game*
Tasteless: That is very true.

Calm down. It's just somebody's opinion, even if you (and others) feel it is a misguided one.
I really appreciate the "abstract nonsense" day[9] gives (i.e. overlord scouting patterns). This gives a lot of people insight into something that they would not normally think about. If you take time to analyze a statement like
"Normally a player would send their overlord to position X, but Jaedong send it to position Y because of this and that. This helped him defeat player Z in the past, etc. etc."
This not only shows the hard work players put into the game, but why Jaedong has it "figured out" much better than a lot of other players. If you don't appreciate insightful things, then just don't talk about it - instead of saying IT SUCKS CUZ I SAID SO.

I figured since it was posted in a freaking live gsl thread during a game no one would have read it. The point of this thread was hearing other peoples remarks anyway ^.^

Tasteless personally has become a lot less interesting to listen to, but he started out so high that its still good, relative to other casters. I forget his name, and this is gonna sound really obscure, but maybe someone knows who I'm talking about, but there was a cast done a little while back with a caster who didn't specialize in SC2, he was mainly involved in something like HoN or something. He made a lot of mistakes relating to build orders and shit, but he had a really nice balance between excitement and trying to make relevant statements. With a little more experience in SC2 he'd be really good I think. Anyone help me out here?

Thanks man. Really appreciate that. I am going to probably start a youtube channel and do my own commentary there... once I get my graphics card and new case (2-3 days) I will start streaming with this kind of stuff in mind as well.
basically I am working on it! hehe

Sweet... I was always impressed with your "poise" when you do interviews... although I haven't heard many/any of your commentaries... any links hanging around?

I swear I've seen this thread before, but search returns nothing.
I really think that I remember the 'artosis = perfection' bit, but I guess I'm just crazy :/
