My biggest gripe with your casting is as follows:

When a Protoss or Terran player is losing an engagement, you are very critical of them. But when a Zerg player loses an engagement, you are often silent as a stone.

When an engagement takes place, you shout out mostly what the Zerg player is doing and largely ignore the Protoss or Terran player.

Suggestion:

I think you should stop playing only Zerg and play random if you want to become a better caster. Your bias as a Zerg player shows too clearly. It's not entertaining for non-Zergs viewers.

If you notice, everyone is mentioning the same things over and over... granted your casting has improved a lot from before, there are still really annoying points.

1. Over criticizing of players. IE: MVPSniper vs KTFlash game 2... you say "... and he's leading the charge with banelings! Why the hell would you EVER, EVER do this as a zerg player?"

-Instead, you could just mention it as a mistake, rather than calling out the player as if he's just bad overall.

2. Zerg bias - this is glaringly obvious as you seem to have extremely limited protoss and terran knowledge and cast everything from the Zerg player's POV. I get it... I'm a Terran player and my Zerg and Protoss timing / build knowledge is definitely limited in comparison, however as a caster you should definitely be more open. Just imagine if ST_Legend were observing from Player 1's vision only.

3. Cussing on broadcasted TV... just seems extremely unprofessional and I don't see how it adds anything to the viewing experience.

4. Word variety: I don't really mind the bad pronunciation (IE: Flesh's Hairess iz good and it puts heem ahad), but you should show some phrase variety. I think in one cast you used "at the same time" and "once again" about 30+ times.

As someone who pays $260 per year for GSL viewing (as I'm sure everyone else does), I feel we have the right to want a better performance on your part. Put some time into actually playing the game and you'll be able to see it from a starcraft 2 players' point of view rather than what you see on screen. When one player scouts early on, you should be able to guess what builds may be coming and how the scouting player might analyze what he sees.

if you can just tone down the 'AARRGGGHHHH' after someone lose an engagement

I think it's the way that Khaldor calls mistakes out that bothers me. Other casters are critical as well but Khaldor rants FOREVER on the one mistake that he latches onto while other more important things are now going on. It's almost to the point of whining especially when they're going over the match after it ends. He dedicates way too much time on the mistakes even when they occur in good games and it kind of kills the mood. Better prioritization of what needs to be said would be nice.


Agree with this as well.
