Of course they aren't. + Show Spoiler + ...... + Show Spoiler + /sarcasm + Show Spoiler + You honestly don't think there is a problem with units not being called by their actual name in commentating for professional Starcraft? Maybe it's just me... Seriously, it's not a long enough word where it needs to be abbreviated or anything. That's like called marines "gunners" and firebats "flamethrowers". Just doesn't work that well in the eyes of most people. | ||

Admittedly, it was funny the first couple of times: "He is building a proxy in the middle, only the pandabear knows" But now he is making that joke every time Andromeda is played. Just stop. And stop saying "pandabearguy" randomly when it appears on the screen. | ||

The first attack with less than one controll group, but more than 2 units, in the early game, its a timing push, even if its 4 goons trying to wear down the first terran PUSH. "Looks like bisu is doing a 4 goon with range timing attack, and at the SAAAAAAAAAME TIIIIME...AT THE SAAAAME --- TIIIIMMMEEEE, flash is doing a 4 marine, 2 tank-vulture timing attack" The first attack with 1 controll group or more, its the <insert names of units>-timing attack. "Bisu is doing a speedlot,goon,high templar-timing attack up saviors main now...AND AT THE SAMMMMMME TIIIIIIIME..etcetc" As the game goes on, each opponent are "replenishing their armies". It isnt that hard, guys! | ||

I disagree about the usage of the word push though. Push has a different meaning in Starcraft? If anything, using the term push for goon/zeals or hydras or whatever makes more sense than for tanks... The Greek Phalanx is a good example of strategic pushing. Two phalanxes would go head to head and...push. Literally. You didn't charge for a bit... Stop... Shield up... Leapfrog ahead some more... Turtle up again. You pushed. You pushed until one of the lines faltered, thus breaking the formation, thus opening the path to victory. Very similar to how a player will engage his opponents units and "push" them back into their main/expansion or what have you. Granted its a pretty literal take on the word, but it just never bothered me personally. | ||

This is a very technical build/map/strategy/game/rush etcetc. Apparently anything can be technical and I'm not even positive what it means other than very precise... | ||

As in the case of Flash's tactic to have Goliaths take down Interceptors instead of Carriers. Can someone with a better knowledge of the game confirm/deny this for me? I'm not sure but when you use hold position with goliaths often they will not attack at all. Attack moving is much more efficient against interceptors. | ||

These people are doing something in their free time for themselves and others, if they pronounce something differently than you (perhaps cause its the 'proper' way in their language or other simmilar reasons) or call something by the wrong name in the midst of things I just really think its selfish to complain about this.. Now if they are getting paid for commentary or are doing it for major community events (tsl, ect) than I can understand holding people to a higher standard. quit letting stupid little shit in life bother you or watch the god damn korean version. /rant *smile* | ||
