Yeah, everything's 'fast' to Husky. Not just expansions, fast units, fast unit speed upgrades.

I think the big problem is that the casters aren't speaking Korean.

I think someone just needs to make a soundboard of all the top casters catch phrases so we can add their commentary to our own replays

"roast some drones/zerglings" (even with marines / stalkers)
"snipe the queen" (even with zealots / hellions)
"hero <unit>"
"horrible death" (usually for T bio)

Really? People don't like it when we identify the players and where they're starting on the map? I really thought those were kind of... you know... important for spectating.

I think the problem is with "spawning", because it's used for all races. Nah, none of these (in my view) are real "problems", just begin to sound funny after a while. A similar list exists for any sports commentary, and for sure for the Korean commentators, but that doesn't mean they'll have to ever stop using their repetitive jargon.

But those are all my favourite terms.

Opting to standards in terminology is the most normal thing in the world easily getting across exactly whats coming/whats going on/what the players are up to. It'll be interesting to see deviation, but one thing to note is what a blunder improvised cute/creative wordplay on the field can be. Terrible terrible damage he really should be getting this is awesome!

I think I love you.

But I think that many of the overused statements are just such simple phrases that it would be hard not to use them. Maybe some of them should be varied slightly every once and a while, but a cast without these phrases might be more difficult to understand.

I agree "most normal thing in the world" is used by day[9] frequently but I wouldn't say overused.

I get really annoyed at the use of "blunder". It's so incredibly overused, and I can't stand it anymore. I don't even know where it originated from but it seems like every caster uses it all the time now every single time someone makes a mistake in a game. I really wish it'd stop.

Basically anything Day9 says. His brother is a superior caster in every way.

Also, that weird Irish guy who talks way too fast and doesn't say anything important.

(caster speaking quickly, noticing something that is happening) Now X player is doing Y right now.

Stop it, please.

I recall Tasteless saying, "Hold that thought," a bunch during GOM.

After reading this thread in full and doing a cast I could finish my sentences so far ahead of the time in my brain with all the normal phrases that I've started to say whatever I wanted in simpler terms. It's helping! yay!

"He's using a very safe build" (though I think that might have been Tasteless' old commentaries, not the recent casts).

What an awful thread. A "push" need not be a freakin' tank push, man. It can be any major attack that isn't harass.

"Pop" is also perfectly okay.

Also, all you people bringing up "let us divine" reallllly don't seem to understand the point of this thread.

If this thread turns into 'Who is the better caster?' it will most likely be closed -- so don't!

Don't be discussing who's better than who in a thread like this, its completely irrelevant. Sorry for off-topic, but I've not much to add to the actual discussion, agree to alot of those phrases!
