Yeah I think it would be really awkward to try to cast a game without using pronouns when the use of them is so ingrained into your regular casting style.

saying " they " doesn't work in a 1v1 starcraft match when attempting to refer to one person, it would sound extremely awkward.

They in a multiplayer game would confuse the crap out of viewers, especially in a mirror matchup. Also, I really don't like when casters use terms or phrases like "the Protoss player, our blue protoss, etc.". It's kind of annoying. and not using pronouns would make this more of a go-to sentence filler.

DeMuslim doesn't usually do that before the final game of the series. Forgetting his English Manners.
Seems appropriate, given Puck's level of BM I love how you bash your respective countrymen. Thats diplomatic level of manners. I don't see the problem. Can't tell if serious.

Exactly that, its not about balance, but the easier mechanics that protoss provides. I remember watching puck stream and see him go 1a get all of his templars sniped and then complain. It seems like Protoss has it easy with people who have inferior mechanics, but seems to reward player with good game understanding. Usually we hear 'smart' referred to protoss players like Squirtle, Puzzle, Yonghwa, Rain, Parting.

So only Korean Protosses are smart protosses?

And if you say 'it' that seems to make people furious so... I say tie goes to the genitalia

I think respecting the player and their wishes/identity is the more important issue here. Inconvenience isn't exactly a great excuse.

no, but i would say smartest. Most builds are designed in Korea. Also forgot Creator, i remember Artosis saying how he figured out perfect unit ratio for PvZ + his double forge play is showing of his intelligence.

Well yeah , I consider Creator the smartest protoss. God, every protoss used his +3 armor 2 colossus push for a little while.

So if you dont refer to someone as gender you would have to use "it"?

Its so inspiring too! You cripple protoss with small efficient trades harassing at 2-3 places while backing it up with strong macro behind, and at the end you attack with 20-30 supply more!

YEE huge snipes by demuslim.

Puck losing all of his HT's there. ouch.
