The one which really, REALLY annoys me is when casters say "right now" when describing someone doing something. "Player X is in a really tough spot right now", "Player Y is getting Zergling speed right now", "Player Z is pushing the front right now". A lot of casters use "right now" every other sentance and I find it so unnecessary. If you are describing someone doing something in the present tense then adding "right now" is completely redundant as you have already established that the action the player is currently taking place.

I find this extremely annoying. It's like the caster is just giving up and saying, "i'm not even going to try to explain what's going on right now". That or in Tasteless' case it's just used as filler 90% of the time.

"Here in the bottom left corner we have... ... ... the one and only! .... .... ..."

seriously, I wish Tasteless would stop doing this every single match... it gets REALLY annoying.

It's unfortunate, but that's not so much Artosis's fault as a lack of communication from the AV booth and a need to fill dead air.

I really hope that none of the casters pay much attention to this thread. I realize it's very old, so they've most likely moved on if they've ever looked.

I really enjoy Day[9], Tasteless, Artosis, JP, and DJWheat. I enjoy them because they have incredible and interesting personalities. If they were to begin to moderate themselves based off the things mentioned in this thread, they would lose their charm to me.
THIS was your PLAN?

'This is really high level play.'

Getting so tired of hearing that at the GSL.

The thing I am most tired of in recent casting is Tasteless continuously finding a way to bring up how he is on EG and a teammate to IdrA. IdrA matches are almost unwatchable with him casting because he keeps trying to one up Artosis' connection to Greg.

Artosis: "Well I am really hoping IdrA wins because we talk a lot and are close friends."
Tasteless: "I really hope IdrA wins because he is a teammate of mine on EG. Since he is my only teammate on EG here at the GSL I would be very disappointed if he loses."

I understand Tasteless is proud of his team and IdrA for how accomplished they (and tasteless himself) are; but I am confident by now people know his background and it just feels like he is fishing for praise. I am pretty sure he just stole the phrase "My little nerd" when referring to IdrA from Artosis because Artosis was using that for a looooong time before I heard Tasteless use it.

Timing push, every single attack tasteless calls a timing push.
Now those games with idra and huk for the MSI competition this weekend? HuK really was going for an /actual timing push/

"____ goes down"

Please just stop. There are other words you can use to describe something dying, being built, or being destroyed.

"got chills down my spine"
"i'm pumped"

Generelly what I do not like about Tastosis, is their style of hyping everything up.

I think that a neat way to differ between races for the start is "Play X terran player landed at 6 oclock position" or "Player X zerg player spawns at 9 oclock" or "player x Protoss player, warps in at 12 oclock." I dont know but i do agree that there has to be differences in casting and adding a little colour to casting, You guys a great job anyway. So this isnt a big deal at all

I thought this wasnt a caster whose who, and whose better. It's a thread about over used phrases and Improving. Come on now, Artosis and Tasteless are excited about this game and IdrA.
Ideas are bullet-proof.

"This is HUGE!" - Artosis. It gets annoying when he says it in non-serious situations.
My friend and I start joking about this quote now. "OMG the scouting probe got killed! This is HUGE!"

EDIT: Also, this has probably been said before, but Tasteless seems to always refer an attack as a "timing attack" or a "timing push". Seriously, are all attacks really "timed"? I highly doubt that every game players would attack at a certain time for EVERY attack. Like I know there is a time when Zerg is vulnerable when expanding early or something like that, but towards the late game would an attack even be considered timed anymore?

Better than "at this point in time" though.
