That's what I thought! Husky and HD, from watching your videos for a load of months, how on earth did you get all that money together?

At a guess I'd go with the fact that they could tell tell their sponsor that they have 80,000 subscribers on youtube between them.

Though that does double count people subscribed to both, which would be significant

Well, that is a fair point. I didn't think of it that way, I'll be interested to watch the games. ^_^

Oh yea, StarCraft II has really gotten off to a great start, especially with all these Tournaments, I watched the Team USA vs Team Canada today and man that was fantastic, and with the HDH Invitational even more great games are going to show up, I cannot wait :D

I'm surprised so many people think Orb will beat IdrA. I clicked that spoiler expecting to see >90% votes for IdrA (not that I have anything against Orb--IdrA's just really good).

Yeah. They're both really strong personalities, so it should be an exciting match. Straight up play I don't think orb is quite at Idra's level, so some funky weird stuff has to be pulled off just right.

Agreed, I think most people haven't seen IdrA's dominance in the last few tournaments but in terms of fanbase Orb's is bigger.

LOL the part where HD and Husky pops up in that video is just hilarious. Looking forward to the whole US vs. EU hype.
