"Protoss ball = ARXXXX"

Mutalisk - Myoo-tah-rhee-sih-koo

Devourer - Dee-bah-oo-wah
Scourge - Sih-kih-jih
Queen - They pronounce this pretty close to queen

Protoss - Poo-roh-tah-sih
Probe - Poo-roh-boo
Zealot - Jee-roh-tih
Dragoon - Dih-rah-goon
High Templar - Ha-ee Tem-pih-rah (watch Hallucination reloaded by Kang Meen on GooDFriend and you'll get a good laugh when the anouncers are screaming HAHEE TEMPihRAH!!! THIS IS PROTOSS! THIS IS KANG MEEN!!!)
Dark Templar - Dah-kih Tempihrah
Archon - Ah-kahn

finally,
probe = prrrrrobaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy (don't forget to roll the r)


NO NO NO! Archon = ball, dark archon = other ball, lol, high templar = storm(er), shuttle = dropship, observer = detector. Others: drone/scv/probe = worker/peasant, zerglings = dogs, mutalisks = birds, scourge/infested terran = kamikaze, hydralisks = hydra, lurkers = spiders, ultralisks = elephants/mamooths, defilers = scorpions, vultures = cars, science vessels = spheres.

Scourge sound better as skorj, zealot as zee-lot and maelstrom as... maelstrom.
I'll call Nada.

Know some people pronounce things bothers me.

These are just some of the things I heard at WCG last year. I'm not counting any other pronounciations heard at other LANs I've been to:

Nay-dah for NaDa
as-ah-lay-ah for azalea
gay-ah for gaia
zee-lot for zealot
arch-ens for archons



I know there were more I can't remember. I don't really say anything to the people who do this, but it just bothers me. T_T As for scourge, it can go either way. Don't worry about it.
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature

Gaia is pronounced "guy-uh"
Scourge is pronounced "skerj"
Maelstrom is pronounced "male-strom"
Zealot is pronounced "zeh-lot"
