Pretty sure most people (at least in Europe) under the age of 40 don't give a fuck about swearing or if their kids hear the occasional curse.
Don't get your jimmies so rustled, man.

This is again cultural difference playing in. In Scandinavia especially, 'swearing' is not really something that is scorned or filtered in media in general And protecting children from swearing is just hilarious when you hear the 10 year old girls averaging 5 f-bombs a sentence

So what exactly happened to Kas?

Professionalism isn't necessarily always good, look at the archetypal American news presenter, so godamn insincere it's unbelievable. Give me a bit of swearing and lapses of that kind any day over those robots.

stay classy Implying being 16 is a disadvantage? I'd say that's the best age for a player seems likely as i cant think of a single player whos ever peaked at 16 I think in theory its best age because your brain is at his peak aswell as physically, BUT at 16 you have school and in generell not so much time to play( parents etc.)
Physical peak is late 20s, and mental peak generally is mid 20s, even though some other functions like spatial reasoning peaks in your late 50s. The reason you see teenagers doing so well is because they have less priorities and responsibilities. As much as we might like to say that gaming is mainstream, it really isn't, at least not yet. Many people lose their passion also the more they play the game. Just look at NaDa. His abilities didn't decline because of some physical or mental diminishing, but because his priorities shifted.
Let's also not forget the fact that Korean gamers are interrupted for years in the early 20s due to conscription. I think it's a bit silly to say that playing Starcraft is more physically or mentally demanding than say, Nolan Ryan pitching at age 43. If major league baseball players can still be on the top of the world in their late 30s in such a demanding sport, what makes you think that humans can't play starcraft in their early and mid twenties at the top of the game?

Speaking of the real world, I wonder who is going to look at your comments in this lay report threads, take you seriously, and then decide that the casters are no longer allowed to curse based off the opinion of one person's opinion of "professionalism". Wait, nobody. Because in the real world no one cares about someone whining in a lay report thread, but of course you will continue to beat this topic to death when no one cares.

I'm 15 and I couldn't care less if they swear. The average 10-15 year old have probably heard a lot worse of tv etc in terms of swearing... and it isn't like parents actually know/can hear what you're listening to.
"Put yourself in the position of a parent, would you want your child sitting down watching people who swear?"
Wow you're making them sound like the devil. No, I wouldn't mind them watching something they enjoy that may rarely contain the ever so scary swear words.

Except that both mental and physical peak is more around early-mid 20s, (ca 22-25). Would be very intereted to know where you got the idea of 16 being peak at anything from.

I think organisations like ASUS ROG and DreamHack know better how to run their business than you ever would so I'll just let them make the decisions of hiring Geoff, 2GD etc for the job and allowing them to use this explicit language. Not that I personally ever have or have had a problem with that sort of stuff, but clearly they would know better than any of us if there's actually an issue with it or not. ^_^
