I remember the good old times, when SC2 was so fresh and fun for all of us. Husky and Day9 were super active and we were all having a blast!

Thanks for the good times, Husky

I don't get the weird 2010 vs 2018 argument. whatever is inappropriate now, it also was inappropriate back then.

duh.

I'm disappointed about his departure and I understand why his fans feel like he betrayed them. I mean he - like HDStarcraft - just abandoned his channel without so much as a farewell or explanation then let it rot.

This isn't about Husky 'abandoning SC2' so much as it's about him ditching his fanbase entirely to be the producer of a girly baking channel that does not fit at all into his own fan base's demographic. It's not like Day[9], MaximusBlack or Destiny - former SC2 personalities that have branched out into other video games whilst at least trying to maintain their fan base.

Then again, I also understand the whole 2010 vs 2018 argument. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Husky felt like stuff he posted years ago would come back to haunt him. With the internet becoming more vindictive and toxic, that is probably a legitimate fear on any public figure's mind. After all, that's exactly what happened to James Gunn and Dan Harmon...

Not to go too off-topic but today's audiences are far different.

See for example, Friends recently making headlines because millennials watching the show were getting offended by some of the storylines. These were storylines that entertained viewers and made Friends the hottest US sitcom back in the 90s and that kind of material wouldn't fly with today's audiences.

I still remember the HDH invitational. Crazy hype about SC2 release around the corner. Husky was just a bit too annoying to me he wanted to be the PewDiePie of Starcraft 2 I think. He had his moments though. Gl to him

WRONG. SJW are triggered by everything these days, what was hilarious in 2010 is now misogynist, bigoted, homophobic, nazi, transphobic hate speech. every day on fb i see some article about how x/y/z is a nazi. i mean if aziz can be accused of rape and #MeToo because he went down on a girl and received a consensual blowjob, then positive uplifting husky, a cis white male, a favorite target of SJW, can easily be taken down

same reason why comedians dont perform on college campuses anymore

Can you please stop with that angle? You tried at least twice before in this thread, and it didn't get a lot of traction. That should give you enough information to realize that other people do not agree with your take. Not everyone is in your right-wing bubble, or is interested in making everything a discussion about "SJW!!!!!!"

Kind of surprised that everyone thinks he did it to prevent a possible slander campaign or something else that dire.

Maybe he just doesn't identify with the content and person from back then. I wouldn't want to be remembered for the stuff I did on the internet from 9 years ago.

Without Husky saying why he deleted the channel, one theory is as likely as the other one. It could be to prevent possible slander from trolls/sjw in the future or because he doesn't identify with Starcraft anymore. It could also be because he believes a zerg invasion is about to happen and he doesn't want the Overmind to know he was a Protoss player... . All equally likely theories, because we have no information to go on.

Whatever the case though, the channel is gone and with it an important piece of SC2 History. It is truly a sad day for sc2. I can understand people getting upset about it, even more so, because there is no explanation offered from a credible source. People are desperate to know why he never said a word of good bye and why he deleted the channel. Its a mixed anger/confusion comment section along with the usual trolls in this thread.

I personally chose to believe, that it was not an easy decision for him to delete the channel. He still worked hard on it and whatever his feelings towards the end were towards the community and the game, he still brought entertainment to many and to delete all this work, this piece of history and in a way part of who he used to be and meant to others, must have been hard. Whatever may have been the reason on why he closed the channel, it must have been a personal choice, either for his future or to let his past behind. I wish Husky all the best for a future outside of StarCraft.

Exactly. I just found it weird that some people immediately jumped to so extreme possibilities for his reasoning behind it, one post even mentioning the case of James Gunn, when there are plenty of other sound feasibilities that are not that immoderate.

Never followed the beta but he was still very active when I got involved in the game. Far from my fav caster, but I always appreciated his enthusiasm and he seemed like a decent guy. I remember when he got added to the MLG circuit commentary team and all the Teamliquid "experts" got butthurt, but he held his own.

It may have been inappropriate back then, but many people would have accepted it as a joke or as an off the cuff comment.
In today's day and age, people want to voice their indifferences with certain opinions and make it known to others that they are heard.
With the reach of social media being as wide as it is, this is far easier now than it was back in 2010.
So if someone says something inappropriate now, the ramifications are far greater than it was 8 years ago. I believe that's what the argument is about - the consequences of your actions now are worse now, than they were back then.

Anyway, we digress.

Back to the topic at hand.

Husky (and HD) were my introductions to the SC2 world of competitive gaming and esports.
Had I never found their channels, I would have never discovered TL, the GSL, MLG, Dreamhack and so forth.

It's a shame we didn't get an official sort of comment, but if you had followed Husky for the last few years, you would have expected something like this to happen. He is heavily invested in Ro's business and channel and has been for a very long time now.

I hope he does stay somewhat active on his social media platforms, as Mike Lamond, going ahead - it's fascinating watching these pioneers of the content creation move ahead into the unknown with their careers as time goes on.

Unrelated - I actually queued up Banelings with Kurt Schneider last night on our discord channel.
A weird sort of foreshadowing in a way.

Good Luck Mike. If you ever get to see this!

Even though he left the community a while ago, I can't count the number of times of heard little references of his creep into the lingo of casters. I consistently hear people refer to the fleet beacon as "bacon," so even when he's gone, his influence is still around.

Like other people, the HDH invitational was my first big introduction to competitive Starcraft, and i remember the early MLGs he did.

looking forward to a strong performance by husky when he re-emerges. i'm sure i showcased something from his collection on facebook a while back. pretty inspirational but bad news that his channel is down. i wonder if this is some kind of glitch or error.

Husky moved away from producing Starcraft content roughly 5 years ago as he moved into a managing/director/producer role for Rosanna Pansino.


When clicked on that link and attempted to watch one of her videos, I felt sorry for the man he has become. I also cannot believe that channel has 10 million subscribers.

To everyone saying Husky 'betrayed' the fan base, y'all sound like a jaded ex boyfriend who got dumped.
Just be thankful there ever was a Husky & enjoy the memories & content he provided to you.
He obviously has moved on to other things that he feels is best for him. You can either support that & be happy for his success or flame him or say he's this or he's that. Just remember the world is what we make of it & it starts with you. If you want to be bitter, then thats your choice, but given a lot of these responses, I can't blame him for one second.
