EPT"Sniping" everything is sniping, any kind of target firing is just called sniping and it's pretty universally overused by all casters.

Building placed: "A forge goes down." Building destroyed: "A forge goes down!" Expanding: "His expo goes down." Expansion destroyed: "His expo goes down!" Unit built: "Two marauders go down." Unit destroyed: "Two marauders go down!" Ability researched: "Psi storm goes down for the Protoss player." Ability used: "Psi storms go down all over the place!" Everyone from Tasteless to random people featured on TL streams does this, and it's driving me crazy. Please mix in some new verbs to your casts. | ||

His colossus are doing terrible, terrible damage. He just lost all his colossus. Those colossus are OP as fuck. Might not be "correct" but doesn't it sound less annoying? Doesn't it? (Colossuses is just awkward, I wouldn't wish that on the most annoying caster) | ||

I don't care if the internet says its correct pluralization, it sounds retarded. "Colossus" seems like a good plural for "colossus" in half the sentences I can think to use it in. His colossus are doing terrible, terrible damage. He just lost all his colossus. Those colossus are OP as fuck. Might not be "correct" but doesn't it sound less annoying? Doesn't it? (Colossuses is just awkward, I wouldn't wish that on the most annoying caster) Colloxen man, that's the only way to pronounce the plural of colossus. I don't mind these overused phrases because I feel that everyone should have a phrase that when I hear, I associate to that caster. | ||

Do not say "uh" or "um" a billion times. Stop pausing in the middle of your sentence. Do not start saying your next sentence until you have already articulated it in your head. I understand this is not easy, but please focus and concentrate. PLEASE! I stop watching casts sometimes just because of this. That's not about talking "properly" this is common among all languages to use filler words, and it takes a lot of practice to reduce and is hard to eliminate completely. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filler_(linguistics) Almost as bad is when two casters keep talking over each other. I understand it can be difficult to say what you want to say when you want to say it while allowing the other person to at the same time. ... It becomes a lot easier when you are right next to each other, you will see in a lot of those types of casts that the casters will be looking at each other getting more than just verbal ques. You hit the nail right on the head. It is a lot easier to figure out timing when you can get the visual cues through body language - perhaps the dual-casters should setup a webcam for skype/msn to help alleviate this? Lastly, we're all human. Doing these things sometimes is ok and I won't fault you for it. Just please don't do it too much or much at all. Practice, practice, practice. We're all human, like you say, so don't fault them for it | ||

"blah blah blah right now" redundant. no shit whatever you just exclaimed is going on right now! "anyway..." gunnrun kept saying this after day9's sentences and it sounded pretty rude, haha. as if day 9 was just talking nonsense and gunnrun had something more important to add. "um, uhhh" - tasteless has a huge problem with this, but i'm desensitized to it at this point and i don't think he can help himself. i like him though. stuff like OH NOOOOOOOOO and THIS IS HUUUUUGE! is really good when used appropriately. don't mind the exaggeration, makes it very sports-like. one thing i think tasteless and artosis should start doing is referring to each other by their real names. i think it'll make them appear more pro and legit. i want them to become famous sportscasters outside of sc  | ||
