It's also technically grammatically incorrect ;-). When you make a positive claim, it should be 'sometime soon'. Example: He will expand some time soon.

But then when you negate it, you use 'anytime'. Example: This game won't be over anytime soon.


Haha, I'm a non-native english speaker, and it's been bugging me every time he uses that - I couldn't exactly tell what was wrong with it, it just sounded wrong to me. Now I know why =) Thanks

I wonder if the NICE STORM/EMP/FORCEFIELD/FUNGAL thing is them being fake and trying to hype the play up, or if they're just being stupid and not really thinking about what they're saying.

Either way i wish they'd improve this. Because its blatantly poor, low level casting.

"Huge storms"
"Epic battle"
"That was all she wrote"
"Melted away"
"like slicing through butter" (referring to zealots)
"Great forcefields"

I basically can't stand the use of "huge" and especially lame buzzwords like "epic".
If you lose the stick, you'll always have theBALLS.

Artosis likes to begin sentences with "And..." as a transition, even though it is grammatically incorrect and the previous statement by Tasteless is completely unrelated.
Some casters also begin sentences with "As...", but I've noticed this especially with Gretorp.
I know they're not terms, but those habits are prevalent.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lots of casters have got into this habit of when depicting how many units were lost or gained they say several even if it was clearly like 2 units. Casters that have started doing this Husky, djWheat, Day9 and Wolf. Also JP seems to say Factor alot all these things are very little and they are great casters but when you notice it, it really bugs you sometimes especially when you are aware of it and it makes listen out for such things.

Anyways still awesome casters

Day[9] needs to stop saying "but is it enough?"

He has a lot of banelings....but is it going to be enough?
The Terran took down all those hatcheries....but is it going to be enough?
Those are some great feedbacks....but will it be enough?

"outplayed" and "outclassed" are both so overused words and most of the time it's just false and really harsh. i allways facepalm when a minor thing in the early game leads to and uphill battle the whole game and then someone get's "horribly outclassed"...

Basically; all the hyping.

Yes, all the pro players are 'really good players'. That's a given. Stop saying it.
I love.

For me the only thing that kinda starts to annoy me is the usage of "oh so". Like in "He can now take out this expansion oh so quickly". I dont know, just starts to annoy me a little bit.

Thanks JP for starting such a thread =)
If you are reading this you are awesome.
