Back in the day (2007) I had forgotten about StarCraft, giving the game up to early in my youth after all my friends that I had played with moved on the Warcraft 3 and DotA. When SC2: WoL was announced I felt the urge to research the game I had been waiting for so long and then I stumbled across something amazing on YouTube, people commentating Korean pro games in English. I got hooked and haven't looked back since.
But of course the passion of YouTube commentators was contagious, I had to get into it myself. So enjoy this commentary I just realized I still had lying around on my YouTube channel. And if anyone wants to go all zulu on me feel free, this was my one and only cast. Its like a 30 minute long game so if you can make it through all my babbling props to you!
Shout out to the YouTube commentators that got me into this community - Klazart, Moletrap, Diggity, Cholera, Rise, NukeTheStars, Ranshin, etc. I'm so glad to see Diggity and Moletrap doing what they've been doing on the larger stages of GSL and NASL, you guys deserve it!

but i guess he was the husky of sc1 ? everyone else seemed to dislike him
Klazart had the passion and speed of like 5 casters combined:
He lacked in strategic knowledge of the gameplay that he could narrate so well and that's why many people didn't like him. Tons of people got into Brood War through his commentaries and enjoyed them, and there were many who didn't care for his lack of insight and criticized him for it (and a small minority flamed him for it leading to his parting with TL for the most part).
There were also many who appreciated that he was opening a door for so many new people to enjoy BW, but didn't particularly care for his commentaries and agreed with the criticisms (this probably goes for the majority of TL members at the time, who would prefer a Korean cast to Klaz's English ones) while not endorsing the harsh flames . Eventually after I watched many live Korean commentaries and VODs I grew out of watching English commentaries and joined this group myself. So yeah, his situation was very similar to Husky in SC2 though he obviously didn't have quite as many fans/subscribers as the legions of Husky fans.
i miss Klazart i remember the first ever BW game I ever saw was FlaSh vs Jaedong on Zodiac, and Jaedong went 3 hatch before pool and flash bunker rushed him, and it looked over until flash was macroing/looking at his base or something when jaedong surrounded it with dronees and lings for a final attack and killed everything, then won the game flash was in tears though afterwards was a really epic game for a noob like me ^__^
i remember i was really upset when i realised people were hating on klazart on TL.. but when i actually learned more about the game i realised he didn't have a good game understanding... i guess he is similar to husky in a lot of ways (on a smaller scale, as you said)
EPT
flash was in tears though afterwards
