Rotterdam has a few but i love him for it, for example: "any time soon" (this is used as pure filler with absolutely no meaning attached to it) day9 likes to repeat himself like 3 times, especially in his dailies | ||

Personally I think that not the phrases themselves are the problem. Of course there are things that you hear over and over again until the point where it gets a little annoying. I mostly realize this in the casting of Day[9] to be honest, but I don't watch a lot of the lesser known casters. The thing is, that most casters seem to feel like they always have to say something and seem not to realize, that short times of silence are not bad. If I watch German soccer (which I hardly do but anyway) and listen to the commentator(s), they stop every now and then, just letting the viewers relax a little, because it's veeeery exhausting to listen to a voice for a long time, especially is it talks very fast (e.g. Day[9] tends to do that but almost every other caster does it too). I think it has a reason why Tastosis are considered the best casting duo at the moment. Have you paid attention to how they cast and how different their style is actually from EVERY other caster in Starcraft II? They do not talk all the time and don't feel like they always have to comment on everything and fill every gap of silence. If there is nothing so say or if there's nothing that comes to their minds, they just don't say anything for a few seconds, instead of filling the time with some of the (sometimes annoying) standard phrases. This is very nice to listen to, I have no problems to watch GSL for some hours, while I always need a break every now and then at other events because the caster are aaalways talking and always so fast. The calm way of casting that Tastosis show is really something, other casters should try to aim for. There are casters, who do it already also quite well (for example djWheat has such a calm style but of course he's always casting together with Day[9], who starts talking as soon as he stops; also Rotterdam has not that kind of "in your face"-style of casting). If casters stop their way of "talking in turns as fast and as much as they can", this will be a huge improvement and the amount of those standard phrases will reduce automatically. Of course I don't want to say that everyone has to cast the same way but there are a lot of variations that do not include "talking all the time and comment on every little unimportant thing". | ||

Most of the time it ends up making what he tries to say sound like it means the complete opposite! | ||

I realize that this is sort of unrelated to the discussion, but since you, a caster, made the OP and title, it also sort of fits. I whole-heartedly support the formation of the thread, and your motivations for doing so, but I also feel too many people think their threads are official when by definition, they aren't. | ||

Tasteless: "Here's the thing about ..." (he can't say that often enough though <3) Rotterdam: seems to think "nexi", "collossi", "feni" are all singular form Wolf: "UH UH UH UH" JP: "LETS TALK ABOUT MLG" | ||
