I know every caster does that to a degree, but Tasteless takes it to another, annoying, level to me. DRG finally getting a win over MKP, after meeting in 3 consecutive MLG finals is a strong storyline by itself. But neither player are legends. Nor did DRG dethrone MKP as the best player in the world, yet Tasteless kept emphasizing this was the biggest deal ever. There can be strong storylines without made up storylines. After this, MKP is not dethroned as best player. DRG is still not a legend. He's just a very good player who finally overcame his rival after meeting him 3 times in the same tournament's finals. Not to mention, all the MMA DRG hype from Blizzard Cup. And before that, the GSTL meetings.
Yeah, exactly, Meeks. Especially since DRG finally beat MKP in a finals after losing to him in 2 MLGs, and also the Blizzard Cup. The two have had a LONG storyline already. GSTL, Anaheim, Providence, Blizzard Cup, Winter Arena, Winter championship, and now Spring Arena. Instead of emphasizing that, it become some sort of "DRG IS NOW A LEGEND BY WINNING THIS ONE MINI-TOURNAMENT". It's not like MKP appeared absolutely untouchable either. He was certainly the best player in the world right now, but beating him wasn't the equivalent of even beating Nestea/MVP/MC back in their peaks.
MKP wasn't in the Blizzard Cup - MMA was, and it was MMA who won over DRG. MKP also wasn't at either Anaheim or Providence - MMA was. Do you actually think that MKP and MMA are the same person?

Woops, sorry, brain fart for a sec there, confused MMA and MKP. Regardless, the core point remains. DRG is the best zerg in the world, and has been for a while. He already has a storyline established. He has a rivalry with MKP, dating back to GSTL last year (including winning GSTL for his team by beating Marineking last year). He lost to Marineking in the AoL finals, then beat him in the King of Kongs earlier this year. Indeed, until Winter Arena, he was 12-5 against MKP. Then MKP won Winter Arena and also a major tournament (Winter Championship), solidifying him as currently the best player in the world. DRG faces him in the finals for the 3rd time in the same group of tournaments, after having lost twice in a row, despite previously having a winning record. Over this storyline of revenge and also the two current best players of their races, Tasteless started going on about becoming a legend, when it's obvious that neither of them are, nor would they become one by winning a small invitational. Not to mention, it was really grating to hear about how DRG is proving himself when he's already so good and well known. It's not like he came out of nowhere. Both of them have graduated from their Kong line status already.

I don't think anybody denies that Tasteless is the weaker link in the Tastosis duo.

I hate to keep nitpicking but this didn't happen, either. DRG didn't play in the finals that MVP won. He did beat MKP in the group stages of the same tournament, though (when he all-killed Prime).

he did prove he could beat marine king in a finals after losing to him twice in a row recently.
and if we have any 'legends of sc2', mkp is one. It certainly makes it more fun to me if we do, I like to think of it that way. and I think this is sort of a bigger deal as far as DRG's status than beating genius even if that did give him a GSL and more money.
I dunno I just can't see getting worked up about it. He tried maybe a little too hard to get people hyped about the games. not that you can't say something that bothers you, by all means, just compared to a lot of what's out there getting overly excited about a certain angle on the story that maybe isn't the ideal one just seems like a really small issue.
Also people use "how are you" as a substitute for "hello"

narwhal: he used the word 'doona' in a public place? hit him
She probably just heard someone use the word in the comfort of their own home, thought it was weird, and had to tell the internet
He was like, "my doona's on the floor right now so you can't see it" and I was like wtf... my mind was trying to substitute possible objects as to what it could be referring to until he told me. I finally realized he was probably talking about his comforter, and he was like wtf is a comforter?
You guys have a lot of strange ways of saying "blanket"

I'd like to see artosis and apollo cast. I think that would be good.
Basically apollo and anyone else turns out to be good though.
they did at dh winter or some other event
and yep, it was p. good
It's okay. I told him which foods to eat and which were poison.
And without crocodiles.
And you guys think "sook" and "doona" are words.
there isnt much difference. America is basically Australia with different brand names.

turns out it's a duvet
who knew
Who says duvet??
America, only country that says 'comforter'.
At least here in Aus we know we are the only ones who say 'doona' and say quilt or duvet for everyone else's sake most of the time
So what are they called in Sweden?
We do in the UK.
The Australia and SC2 threads have merged into one
ok, this made me LOL

We just need more Aussies and less non-Aussies.
Starting with Mig. Mig, gtfo.
It doesn't get in anyone's way as none of you have noticed it there.
Nor the proxy hatch.
On that note, when the hell is HotS coming out?

They are actual things though.
But did you tell him about the box of pain?!
If he pulls his hand out we have to kill him, fear is the mindkiller!

A quilt is another thing alltogether.
A blanket is another thing as well.
The truth. I tend to just refer to everything as a blanket. Why complicate things?
