so this thread is about venting the reasons why you'd rather watch the reps?

"Colossi" as a singular. "There's the first Colossi coming out." Please, please stop it!

(Would be much better to simply use "Colossus" for singular or plural alike - one Colossus, two Colossus. Ezpz.)

After reading the OP I have only one thing to say.

"TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE DAMAGE!" will NEVER be overused.

Period.

Tasteless and Artosis started this in the last GSL and have started to refer to it in this season is:
"Oh Clide...."
"Clide is sooo good"
basically when anything goes in his favor, "That Clide, so good."

"Baller"

Just makes you sound like some Wigger Turd

[image loading]

Best thing about Artosis / Tasteless going to Blizzcon is you can watch GSL and not have to hear "SOOO BALLLLLLER" everytime anyone does anything good for a couple of days.

Guessing it was used sometime in the 1990s and Day9 probably revived it and was then copied by everyone :<

Perhaps so, but using it in every other sentence makes it just annoying.

I don't know if it is overused, but it is stupid in any way, regardless. I watched the 5th match of Ret's king of the hill games and the caster had to add nuance to his premature gg. Good thing that he did. It's better to express opinion on winning chances without mentioning 'gg' and reserve it for when the fat lady's singing.

There are definitely some good suggestions in here... every caster has their "goto" words which you may hear more times than others. Why? Cause casting is fucking hard people.

If you don't believe me... I challenge you to just sit down and talk into a microphone for 8 hours. See if you can even do it. Then go back and listen. How did you do? Why don't you post it here for us to listen to. It's not like casters lack the vocabulary, it's that casting drains you mentally like you wouldn't believe. Seeing Day9 after casting every series at MLG... pretty much sounded and looked like he just walked off the short bus. ^_^

HOWEVER, just in case any other aspiring casters read this... HERE IS A GOOD TIP I TRY TO TEACH ALL THE GUYS I CAST WITH:

A good caster will occasionally go back and listen to his own work to identify the exact things JP brought up in the original post. When you find yourself using the same words or phrases over and over, then do yourself a favor and try this out.

Write down on a sheet of paper the words or phrases that you overuse. Under each of them, write alternate phrases. So for example, I might use the world "unbelievable" to describe something going on. So write down, "Phenomenal, Amazing, Astonishing, Awesome, etc." do the same with phrases or ways to phrase things.

If you are occasionally referencing this during your broadcasts you'll find yourself realizing it and quickly begin using your alternate words. I still do it today after 10 years of casting.

Artosis likes "Doing Tons and tons of damage..."

Chill: "I'm really nervous for... [insert name]"
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a
