Husky's opening is the only thing I don't like. It's just makes me cringe. Everything else is peachy tho (Other than day9 making me feel guilty that I'm not working out and drinking mt dew and not his god water... ).

Crota: "Going to go ahead and figure out what the strategies are"
No, you're going to watch the replay and tell us what their strategy is as they do it. Although I do like his random chats / attempts at sillyness.

HD: "bolster" - also those intro videos were very annoying.

"Going to go and destroy these destructible rocks" - do they ever destroy the non-destructible rocks?!

Psy is one of the best for straight up commentary (ie not counting day9)...

8m:00 - Ram!

1m:20 more Ram - pretty funny.

I hate the term "baller", though I can't really hold its use against casters. Just a personal annoyance. Also, "abuse" seems to be used where I would say "exploit". Husky's trademark "Thor is here!" has gotten really old for me.

Forgot about "without further ado" - it's definitely overused!

I don't recall if it's HD or Husky or both, but constantly saying "here" at the end of their sentences like they are from Fargo or something. They aren't using it to emphasize a certain part of the map or a location, they just say "here" for no reason and it bugs me a great deal

The day9 tournament has made me loathe him saying "huge blunder/what a blunder" 10 times per game.

HD also says he is "live casting" when he casted a game at the time it was played... it's still prerecorded when you watch it though so the misuse is really annoying. I pretty much abandoned youtube casters though, at least until HDH 2.

Obnoxious

"Leery", I can live with. "Obnoxious" every 2 minutes is a big NO.

"Looks like he is building a pylon"

"Looks like he is losing his medivac"

"Looks like a lot of probes are dying"

"Looks like he is making more zealots"

"Looks like <insert anything actually happening on the screen>"

God I hate when they do that :<

It seems like this thread has turned into "let's write down every single thing every caster ever has said."

they should talk more like korean casters

basically you refer to both players as super heroes and you marvel at their intricacies be it blunders or sparks of inspiration

add drama like there is no tomorrow too

Boo for this thread. It's only overused if it's overused. Just because it's used a lot doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be stopped or scaled back.

Some of the best commentators in the world of sports have sayings and phrases that they use all the time. It's just personality. It's overused if it's a habit of saying something irritating or meaningless. If it's part of someone's charm or schtick, it's not overused.

Personally, I have to laugh whenever someone is "killing as many SCVs / Probes / Drones as he can / possibly can."

It's like... the player could have just killed a couple of workers and then told his Hellions to hold their fire, but no. He's gonna go the extra mile and kill as many as he possibly can, because that's what sets the pros apart.

Whenever Husky casts a game where TLO plays zerg he'll say "TLO puts the fun in fungral growth"
