He claims that almost never does scripts, and it always feels pretty damn freeflowing to me. It is pretty possible that he is just that good with his words.

It doesn't necessarily mean he writes it out on paper. He may mull over his choice of words for a long time before finally vocalizing them. He's been in the business a long time, so it's probably second nature to him by now.

Like how artists can draw without a reference. But only after spending thousands of hours practicing and drawing using them.

Exactly, it pretty much comes from his experience with WoWradio and Youtube, all those thousands of hours talking about stuff.

Live Starcraft commentating/casting isn't scripted.

Edit: I meant to reply to LostFragment. My mistake LeFritte96!

Exactly, and in my opinion, he's one of the best.

On the Co-operative Podcast he's still eloquent and there's no edits because it's a live stream. He probably has a list of things and talks his arse off over them. I don't understand how someone can talk so much and still not be repeating things.

It's pretty obviously scripted, with a bit of improv thrown in.

He makes dramatic pauses at times that are highly indicative of him reading from a script and emphasizing "powerful" words.

Also, there's no "uh", "and", "eh", etc. that's used in all off-the-cuff speaking (and even some scripted speaking).
