Husky and HD kinda disappeared.. was really weird to see them just leave without much of a goodbye. IIRC HDstarcraft just stopped posting videos in the middle of a series, just said i'l see you next time for game 3 and didn't come back


I really missed HD Starcraft for a while, loved his content.

Not just dating, he has a managerial and production role in her YouTube channel and has had it for a long time. The channel's success is the result of their combined efforts.

Huh... Loved his videos, same with a lot of my friends, I used to watch and now my sibling watches a lot of Ro. Sad all those video are gone (in whatever capacity), but GLHF to both of them.

Sad to see the old videos go, but it's probably the best for Mike. Better focus on the things that make you happy now

And a big thanks for all the effort that helped making SC2 big back in the day.

I'm a person who believes a celebrity isn't obligated to act a certain way to please his or her fan. After all, it's his or her life and he or she can do what he or she wants. Nobody forces an audience to watch him or her.

Still, that being said, it does feel a bit rude of him to drop off unannounced, especially since he occasionally makes a Twitter post related to Starcraft. At the same time, it isn't surprising since has hasn't uploaded a video in a very long time.

I wonder if he will change his Twitter handle.

I don't really have anything to say about his "disappearance" anymore because that's so long ago at this point. But both his channels and all the VODs getting deleted is very sad to me, I enjoyed rewatching those every now and again.

What do you know, maybe he's just restyling his channel and this is just a hint at his comeback ;p
I used to organize tournaments for ESL Italy and referee Go4SC2s, WCSs, and IEMs for ESL SC2.

He was a cool dude, helped me get into sc2 when I was still very much a hardcore bw elitist. Maybe not the most polished caster, but his enthusiasm and his side stuff was great. All the great times I had watching Code S, etc. are because of him, so I wish him well.

i don't think it's fair to compare TB to Husky here. a lot of the backlash against TB was related to him simply being rude to people who had done nothing but question or disagree with him, and many times it had nothing to do with gamergate or any of that. in fact, one time i personally witnessed was on Husky's channel, where a fan had asked Husky "would you consider uploading these videos to your second channel?" and TB himself showed up and replied to the fan basically telling him to fuck off and that Husky "doesn't have to do anything fans say". so whatever your views on TB or gamergate, it's not accurate to suggest the only negative views of him come from gamergate or social justice

not meaning to shit on TB soon after sad events, but i'm just trying to paint a fair and accurate picture here, and i don't think it's fair not to credit Husky for actually being a really nice, polite guy, which TB was not.

anyway, yeah, like people have said: starcraft fans treat their own like shit. it's because of the illusion that starcraft somehow equates to intelligence or value as a person - every one of us has had some kid on ladder tell us that we're "worthless" and to "get cancer" because of how we played a game. it's that exact mentality that pushed Husky out of the scene. he was a great guy and great for the game, and didn't deserve to be shit on based on "game knowledge." honestly, sometimes the whole SC2 scene feels like a clusterfuck of people trying to compete over who "knows the game best." who cares?

it's unfortunate, and it would have certainly been nice if he had been able to explain things better. however, i think anyone who watched husky could sense that he was a bit of an awkward guy who didn't like confrontation and probably didn't like to feel like he was letting people down, so i can understand why he would take the back door out.

also, even if he did something "wrong" in the way he stepped down, the response is not proportionate. when people say that him leaving without a word proves he's a piece of shit or that he never cared/only cares about money that's ludicrous. handling one situation imperfectly shouldn't be license for the public to declare you a greedy sociopath

i'm no expert in this area so if someone knows better please correct me....

i think people are claiming TBs criticisms "inspired" some crazy people to act like idiots and harass people on twitter and social media. Therefore TB is responsible for "weaponizing" these people. Nevermind that TB never met these crazy people and this group of random idiots thousands of kilometres away is just looking for any excuse and rationalization it can find to stir up trouble.

if someone has a better handle on why TB is getting labelled as a bad person after his death please correct or add to this. its a pretty sensitive subject.

Are you really asking someone to post to describe the personality flaws of TB, when TL cracks down pretty hard on such especially now that he is deceased?

nope, i'm requesting the RATIONALIZATION TB critics are using to create unfair criticisms and total smear jobs on TB.

TB was sometimes rude on TL, however, he brought so much cool stuff to the SC2 community I didn't care. We butted heads a couple of times on an anonymous forum board. meh, I don't care. TB was great. Was he rude to me online a couple of times? ya. Does it matter? no.

The reason why TB is getting labelled as a bad person after his death is because there are (a disturbing amount of) people on the internet who choose to live in an echo chamber where they only see and believe what they want to, with no regard for facts or objectivity, and once they are entrenched in their ignorant and fallacious positions it's impossible to reason with them. They saw whatever petty and pathetic narrative their own kind pushed against TB and never tried to question it or see for themselves how much good TB and his content have actually done for gaming. Let alone how many times and how consistently he has spoken out against the notion of using your fanbase as a mob or to "brigade" things, to do damage. He explicitly led his channel and social media in a way that tried to distance himself from his audience exactly to prevent the very things that these blind and ignorant buffoons are accusing him of.

Well the key point here is that you sound like a reasonably well adjusted person from this anecdote, whereas a lot of people online nowadays will hold a grudge for years if they ever feel something slights them and poison the well against anything and everything related to that person or content. I guess I'm trying to say "congratulations, you're not insane!" lol.

personally i try to be respectful when i post about criticisms of TB, and i understand that his recent passing changes the rules, but i don't like the idea of it being permanently off-limits to even suggest that he may have been a flawed person. i would understand if a mod came in and said "no TB criticism chat so soon after his death," but if one of his main patron communities can never ever have an open discussion about who he was as a person then it's not much of a community.

relative to my real life friends i know 1000X more about RTS than they do. These are some nice people, however, I can't really learn much from them about RTS.

i learn about RTS on TL by jumping into discussions and being wrong sometimes.

No, we just got to accept that there is a hidden rule that we can't really criticise sc2 media personalities, or at the least if we do, the odds will be stacked against the poster if that sc2 media personality or mods weigh in. An by stacked I mean mod action. We just got to accept that whilst you can freely speak your mind in real life, we cannot on TL. All it'll take is one mod to be offended. To invite others to do so in TL, is just to ask them to give themselves an opportunity to be moderated.

None of this has anything to do with Husky though. Husky never acted in a particularily offensive manner, so it's quite sad that essentially a part of SC2 history and videos are now closed to us forever. I enjoyed quite a few of his videos.

I doubt there’s much actual risk of his youtube channel harming his career seeing as the starcraft community is still fine with Stephano...
(Also, TB received criticism largely for his role in a large internet harassment campaign and hate movement known as “gamergate”, but perhaps you have never heard of it. I’m sure many will disagree as to his culpability in said movement, but that’s a disagreement you have with targets of gamergate that have talked about how TBs actions hurt them and others)
