I don't get the whole pandabearguy craze. It is funny every once in a while but not as a replacement for the name Ursadon.

I could have made my name Ursad0n and not PandaBearGuy, because it's funnier this way.
You make it sound like there's a correlation between what should happen and what actually happens. I mean, life is chaotic and it's often unfair. I know it is for me.

This needs to be stickied or at the very least sent to some commentators, especially the push definition, sometimes when I watch commentaries (for example HDH vods for SC2) I always hear push when they just mean attack.

Protoss Player
Lately commentators are saying "The Protoss player is moving in now!" instead of his ID. I really don't like that and it makes it seem like they aren't aware of who is actually playing.


This is the only one I disagree with. In writing, it's a common technique to say "he" or "Bisu" or "the protoss player" or "Kim Taek Yong" if you have to refer to them multiple times in a fairly short successions. The same can be applied to commentating. Repetition is annoying.

However, if they -only- refer to the player as [insert race name here], then it's just as bad as saying "Bisu" over and over again.

I think someone already mentioned this, but Jay Dong is a pornstar. Jaedong is a progamer. Jaedong is not pronounced Jay Dong.


I've never heard it pronounced any other way.

chaedong (Korean) vs jaydawng (English)

Yeah, I guess you'd have to say it, I read "ae" and "ay" as virtually identical-sounding.

It bothers me when people call everything cute. Like when a player does some cool thing to just rip the opponents natural or uses some psionic ability to smash a whole army.

That's not cute!! It's baller!!


That's funny, because I hate the term 'baller'.

Isn't baller decidedly a noun? When did it because an adjective?

That's even more funny because I hate both cute and baller.

lolllllllllll good one

But seriously, I guess a way you can look at JD's name...

이 = "ee"
제 = "jeh"
동 = "done (try saying the word dome but instead of an M, put an N in there) + g"

Now that you mention it, I wonder if I can get a porn video at my local Blockbuster (if I don't get too scared from the Jesus Is Watching You sign) about StarCraft starring Lee Jay Dong and his sexylicious mutalisk micro.

Back on topic, if you aren't Dustin Browder, please please PLEASE don't say terrible terrible damage in your commentary. It ruins the line.

Can we please add the incorrect use of "XXX needs no introduction"? Usually it's used like this:

"Y needs no introduction. He is a player on the team ... [followed by introduction]"

Most recent example: Idra http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=127046

Either don't introduce, or skip that phrase.

"ragequit" doesn't mean leaving without a gg.

Also, wtf is passive aggressive pressure?

The OP pretty much describes HD.

You could also add John Madden syndrome to this list, aka ' the team with the most points will win '
