The biggest thing I get annoyed by is how every storm/emp/fungal/forcefield is "huge", "great", or "incredible".

Jp I'm convinced that you have said "make some noise!" for every interview you've ever done at MLG's :p

Dunno if this has been said but how about "Hold that thought..." used quite frequently as a transition from talking about random stuff/game strategy to what is actually occurring in the game.

Just in general one thing that I notice in all casters is a ton of weird phrasing. It just makes it awkward to listen to.

"This hatchery trying to be taken down by those lings" instead of "[Player Name] trying to take down that hatchery"

Absolutely.

That pretty much translates to "I don't really understand what you just said but I'll agree with it".

The word "clutch" or "money
ex: He's going to need money EMPs to survive this. OR Those vikings were really clutch

I guess that happens because they have to say things before their eyes/brains can fully comprehend what is going on, so they see a hatchery under attack and say "This hatchery is.." and then have to fit in what they see based on that.

Are we just speaking of MLG guys?

I don't like when tasteless says to artosis: I think you might be right
or of course the: you might actually be right

And whenever he tells a phrase which start with: i think he may
and ends with: a little bit here


I think he may have over extended himself a little bit here
I think he may have stimed a little bit too soon here
I think he may have over reacted a little bit here

But what i "hate" the most is when Painuser ends a phrase with an emphasis on the word BUT.
He didn't do any damage BUT...he did secure his third.

"Miracle defense" and morphing in instead of warping in. But Day9 is still awesome.

Commentators need to stop saying how every EMP/psi storm is the most amazing thing ever.

"oh my god those were GREAT EMPS"... even if they are, we get it, emps are good. And often times theyre not even that great.

Same goes for forcefields and storms. ESPECIALLY the storms. a storm that lands on 2 marauders a marine and a medivac is not "great" or anything close to it. Please stop with the whole "great storm" thing.

I swear, today watching code S and artosis (no hate here buddy <3) said that about 5 storms in a row were great, yelling wildly the whole time. I get it man, but common. Not every storm needs to be shouted as the best play in the whole game >.<

"Holding/hold down the fort"

You're not holding it down, it's not going anywhere. You can "hold the fort" against the enemies that makes sense, but holding it down... that's just wrong.

My main problem is that sometimes casters get caught up in and view every accident as being a brilliant strategically ploy.
Everything I'm not made me everything I am.
