That's more of just a presentation thing IMO, where you want to be as correct as possible with pronunciation.

someone who speaks mandarin...can you explain why that girl sounds so strange....

Why would you say she sounds strange? I wouldn't even necessarily say "it's because she's using a presenter voice". Although she is, it's more so an "explanation" or "emphasis" tone to her voice.

My Chinese friends talk like that literally all the time, and some of my female friends have a similar voice to hers. Pretty much sounds exactly like what I hear on a daily basis...

She is spitting out those tones, most of my Chinese friends and/or random chinese I hear sounds like Ian did, where tones more or less blend down into each other while the sentences have much smoother transitions between each other, she sounded like there was a period between each word she used AND amplified the tones.

Gaaah, why would you invite mostly zerg players when mostly zerg players have already qualified for the tournament? Makes no sense.

It's just a good term. Also, it was pretty prominent in the documentary.

They invited 2 Terrans and 2 Zergs. They qualified the top 8 Taiwanese players over the course of the year in TeSL. They then held qualifiers, in which Leenock, Departure, Pet, and TRUE won seeds in the tournament.

I was playing competitive Smash at the beginning of 05.

The fact that it's picking up now is like 2 of my favorite hobbies setting in with reality together.

fun fact: I also actually met John when I went to Crystal City, TX to meet up with their 4 good players.

This is how it sounds whenever I hear announcements in Chinese, like for example on a plane or if you listen to the news readers.
