Also, stop using the word play after every single thing, Robo-play, 2gate-play, muta-play, drop-play, storm-play. It doesn't mean anything! It's just annoying. </rage> | ||

An overused term I find annoying and unclear is to go down. It's used either for a building being constructed, or something being destroyed. To combine the two: please, please, I don't ever want to hear "one colossi goes down, second colossi goes down..." during a protoss battle. Day[9] and TheGunRun said it on multiple occasions just yesterday. | ||

The goes down thing I don't understand, I mean if it was just audio yes, but how can you not understand it or be left confused in the context of the video you are watching The collosi thing I suppose comes from "I" being a personal pronoun, you think of it as singular in the heat of the moment. That's my theory anyway. | ||

"He does appear to be taking his third." "He does go on the attack" "He does make another colossus" Doesn't really bother me, and I know how hard it is to think up intelligent things to say on the spot, so I can understand why a lot of casters would buy themselves a few extra seconds by using "does" in every sentence that describes a player action. | ||

With all this time casting, I've started to notice lines that myself, Diggity, iNcontrol, and Day[9] constantly repeat. Since I'm always looking to improve my casting and I think the community in general wants the best casting possible, I decided a thread of 'overused' lines should be created! THE LIST OF SILLY OVERUSED WORDS AND PHRASES :
Please help out all casters improve their skills and tell us what we overuse! I will add them to the above list if this thread becomes popular. If you can cite specific VODs or casters and phrases (without flaming) that would help too as I'm fairly certain everyone is open to criticism. If this thread turns into 'Who is the better caster?' it will most likely be closed -- so don't! How about "OHHHHHHHH GOSH" "OHHHHHHHHHH MAN" "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" *SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH* Can anyone guess who does this about 100 times per cast?! | ||

..of team EG, a great team that I recently joined Guess who? But seriously, what bugs me is when casters blatantly copy other casters. Blunder isn't the standard term for any mistake ever made, but somehow it is these days. Also, everything isn't a 'sign of a good player' or 'what separates the good players from the great'. Sometimes he just got the expansion because his macro was godawful and he was bathing in minerals. I kind of don't get how any micro at all is 'some fantastic micro by X'. I'm talking about stuff like moving one stalker who's low on shields to the back. Yeah, it's good but people do that in platinum. Hardly worth of any note when there is 2 stalkers, 1 marine and 1 marauder on the field. | ||

Tasteless: (Seriously) High level play Both of them: Rush. No need to call every single build a rush.. because it's not. | ||
