- "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhh" - "aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh" every single time a psionic storm goes down, even if it happens 20x in a single game I've seen couple casters do this -yeah the effect looks nice, but c'mon  also annihilated/annihilation is slightly overused sometimes- at least for being such a fancy word, it def. is  | ||

I do like a lot of the things people have posted, regardless of if they're being funny or completely serious! The poster talking about how casters need to improve their banter is spot on in my eyes -- this is something I definitely need to improve on. I'm pretty surprised by the amount of responses in the thread though! | ||

"And now the Roaches... of Idra are going to just slaughter the Zealots... of Nony" Just say "Idra's Roaches" and "Nony's Zealots", it sounds much more natural and it doesn't sound like filler for dead air. Most of the time you don't even need to say which units belong to whom because they play different races. Just a personal pet peeve of mine when I hear it. | ||

I'd rather they just said "...and those roaches blah blah blah to those zealots blah blah blah..." There really is no need to call out the player's names after the initial introduction. | ||

The best players are as good as they are because they have an entire repertoire to choose from when playing. This comes from having seen everything before through practice. I bet casters could benefit from that sorta thing as well. | ||

If not, I think this could go a long way to improving casts. Players practice a ton for the tournies, why not casters? I'd think it would force you to come up with new material for the same things you see in game, and would let you sorta pick at random which material you use so you don't repeat yourself for an entire tourney.

I bet casters could benefit from that sorta thing as well. I do this every now and then, but not so much as of late. I have been casting on late night streams in less of a 'spotlight' just to kinda joke around and generally I find myself to be better when I'm not trying to be 'professional' if that makes sense haha. | ||

Of course. Like most things, when the pressure is on it's harder to perform. I guess how much time to put into it depends on how far you see it going. If SC2 as an esport really takes off then there will certainly be a demand for quality casters. Whether that actually happens or not is anyone's guess. Though the excitement generated by a great cast really helps push the entire esport idea so I suppose it's a chicken/egg thing. | ||

Don't mind it to much but after 100+ episodes of "let us divine" it's getting a lil dull still love his casts though. Its just used as a noise filler.. Like some people use "ummm" or whatever. Would you rather someone would just shut up and sit still like a statue when they are trying to pick out a question? | ||
