A lot of bad use of "warping in", "morphing in".

Correct me if i am wrong but:

Protoss player is warping in a gateway
A roch warren is being morphed in by the zerg player.
The terran player is constructing a starport.

Protoss cannot morph any kind of buildings, ...

gateways "morph" into warpgates afaik. a templar merge is also considered a morph i believe on the progress bar.

either way, "over used terms" for commentators is usless, we use the terms all day long while explaining to another player what happened. why bash only commentators for using a tool that helps us on a daily basis?

"Blunder" should be the word topping everyone's list. Day[9] does great commentary, but this has to go. It's a silly, archaic word, and you could just as easily say "mistake" without sounding like a try-hard.

God I hate when they do that :<
100% with you. I thought HD was the only one that overused this but Day 9 does it too.

"And it looks like..." then proceeds to point out what everyone can already see anyway.

Day 9 makes up for this by doing predictive commentary or descriptions of general strategies but HD focuses way too much on what's going on on the screen at the moment, just to keep talking.

"Blunder" is the worst. Easily.

Being overexcited at rather normal things or trying to add extra tension and drama by saying "ooh will x unit make it out alive!"

Every time I hear "H to the usky, Husky", I want to mute the sound immediately. It makes him sound like a huge tool.

I never liked his and hdstarcraft's commentaries (i mainly watched HDH)

They just lacked experience in everything besides plugging sponsors and getting that event started in the first place.
The coverage of hdh was just... bleh... i remember more than a few cases on where they talked for like a few minutes guessing randomly what is going to happen without having any clue what is actually going on.
I just hope they improved and will do better on hdh2.

Since I am aware commentators watch this thread, I ask you take this "constructive feedback" with a grain of salt. Similar to product reviews, it seems the opinions expressed here represent a vocal minority.

While I think everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, I would hate to see commentators drop catch phrases that entertain 110k subscribers because 5 individuals, that already didn't like their style, decided to post here about them.

Personally, I watch a handful of commentators, Husky, HD, Day9. Of those, I thank Husky for introducing me to commentaries. He has the best enthusiasm.

"Oh my God! How many hydras was that!?" after 12 explode to a spider mine. "Storm!!!" "Thor is here!" and his Intro/Outro phrases, all keep his videos entertaining.

To all the commentators out there, keep up the good work.

Hey JP, during KotB, you often said "the terran player" or "the protoss player" or "the red terran"; I think it'd be better if you just used their nickname.

Day9 : easiest thing in the world. Every. F*cking. Time. I can even see him waving his hands and making THAT one face. "Pfffah ! Easiest thing in the world".

Blizshouter : this guy LOVES prepositions. "Move on in" in every single of his videos. In his latest video, I heard a "move on in through..." Very preposition intensive guy.

Love them both, though.

This one is actually really annoying me at the moment;

'and its going to be.. [eg player x spawning in the top right position]'

'and we are going to have.. '

'and we are going to see'

Watching the gomtv stream now and one of those casters used the above phrases no less than three times in about two sentences. RIDICULOUS. STOP IT argggg
