Not sure what your intentions were with this thread. It makes me feel pretty shitty so... Good job I guess?

I'm sorry about that I wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad. In fact a few of those commentators that I listed are my all time favourites, you included.
I'm just pointing out a couple of small things casters do that annoy me, but overall day[9], tasteless, artosis and yourself are excellent commentators. I wish I'd get to hear you more often actually, day[9]/chill duo in tsl 2 was awesome.

What's wrong with putting emphasis on something like that?
It's really common in SC because you would be looking at a base and saying like "Wow he has a lot of units and hes going to moving out here in a minute. But over here at the zerg base he does have an expansion so we will see." It's just emphasis on the point that it's too early to call.
I think the main thing that bothers me about casters is just stupid buzzwords/phrases that are overused or just improperly used, or when the casters misspeak and don't correct themselves.

Day[9] = talks overly abstract about simple things, goes on for thirty minutes about the importance of proper overlord scouting patterns.
So true, I remember when he went on about destructible rocks for 5 min, periodically checking what the players were doing. Though, what else are you gonna do besides watching supply depots being built.
If tasteless didn't say "uh" every other word I'd enjoy his casts a lot more, reminds me of that one annoying girl in high school that said "like" after every word.
Raelcun - Monotone voice that makes me feel like I'm listening to a museum recording for the blind.
Husky - Starts screaming at stupid shit that could be inconsequential and I have to keep adjusting my volume cause I find out how loud he can really go.
HD - Latches on to something and then talks/hints about that in his commentary for a day.
I like player/casters or casters who are just honest. It's fine that the "pro" casters have to make the game seem interesting, but when it's true, sometimes the "yeah, toss is done, game's over why are we still here?" needs to be said, kinda like when chill/inc tells you to leave the game in tlatck, need that in real games when someone's (usually bad) is dragging a game out for no reason.

Fuck the haters, you're an A+ tier caster along with InControl, and second only to Artosis.

I actually thought that the comment about you was sort of oddly complimentary

It's annoying because they do it every time (think each sentence), for everything, not just when they want to emphasise.

Husky = i hate when he starts talking in middle of a game about RL ! god sake take it little bit seriously : )No really I cant say anything bad on Husky cause he did great job by casting games in Beta and i learn a lot from his casts.
HD = he stopped suiting up after HDH invitational ! : /
Artosis = <3
Day9 = sometimes when he is talking im loosing him and after 5 minutes monolog i have no idea what he was talking about i didnt see much of his shows so i cant tell

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. 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
You are just naturally funny. Im looking forward to your channel.
