My biggest criticism of you if you care (I am a person who actually watches your videos and has "liked" you on facebook, not some random hater) is that you don't seem to try to get people interested in esports beyond your own channel. When MLG comes up, even if you are not going to be there you could bring it up to encourage people to check out some of their favorite players that they have seen on your channel. That may help bridge the gap between people who solely watch your channel, and people like me who enjoy your casts but also enjoy seeing the big live tournaments and all the sc2 community has to offer. Meh... maybe it would be too over the top though, I'm not too sure. | ||

I wonder if next time you could bring up why Blizzard's patching in the past was pretty decent while now it is quite horrible. I personally think they did too much too soon. Just the map pool alone lead to perhaps some balances that were not good for the game since the "rushes" of the past are now delayed an extra 10-25 seconds. Also because strategies are not 100% developed yet I can see things that cannot currently be defended would be able to be defended with innovations by the opposing race. I am not sure how the "balance" team from blizzard works, but pooling data and using that to balance a game for 2v2  isn't a good idea. | ||

Meh... maybe it would be too over the top though, I'm not too sure. I hear people say this a lot and I dont really agree with it. It seems to be a 'talking point' as of late. The reasons I dont agree with this are: 1) I heavily promote any event that I attend. If I promoted every single event ever then people would stop being interested in what I have to say about the events. 2) I consistently mention Team Liquid in casts and talk about the players they have on their team (and even go out of my way to cast their games for exposure) 3) I have helped Artosis get his videos into much higher quality. I was able to help TB get to where he is now and he is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing gaming channels on YouTube. I have even given Day9 tips on how to make his videos render more smoothly (are lots of problems with Sony Vegas that take a while to learn). 4) I have also helped put PsyStarcraft on the map (a very good Zerg player) as well as recently helping Moletrap (old school Broodwar favorite) spread his videos to my fans. 5) I am working behind the scenes with tons of gaming companies (which is behind the scenes so obviously others dont quite know about it) for their upcoming tournaments, events, etc. There is a lot of cool stuff in the works! 6) I recently posted several replays from the IEM and have been supporting it like crazy, even telling people where to go for the stream and fully supporting Day9/TheLittleOne. Not saying there isnt more I can do, but I just dont understand why people think I'm not actively trying to spread StarCraft and eSports to as many people as possible. Thinking I dont know anything about the game, that I have an annoying voice, that I'm ugly (100% true), or I just am not the commentator for you are all valid critiques and should be voiced if its your opinion. But anyone who says I am doing this for reasons like fame and fortune and that I am not actively trying to support eSports I honestly think are incorrect. I too agree that everyone in the community should work together. Neither of us is a threat to one another (have heard rumors that other personalities see me as stepping on their toes or something, which I think is ridiculous). Contrary to popular believe I dont have beef with anyone, especially IdrA (who I love casting because he's A) good and B) a fan favorite), Incontrol (who is just an oversized and slightly disproportioned teddy bear), and anyone else who people think I have a problem with. There are lots of personalities in the StarCraft community (which is great awesoooome) and we all want the best for the game. We all have completely different styles and techniques for how we think we can help the sport get to where it needs to, but that doesnt mean we dont want the same thing. In the end, haters gonna hate. Edit: I also teamed up with TLO to explode his facebook and heavily promote his livestream. | ||

Don't know where the accusation of him being self centered is from o.o. Day9 daily is good for beginners(and pros) sure but not all casual fans want to listen to his analytical style all the time. I imagine one of his best daily ever in my opinion( 252-mechanics) must be very boring and pointless for casual fans who just want to watch the game. It's not husky's fault if his fans prefer his style. | ||

Although Day9 recently did a IdrA episode, stating in the beginning that he thought IdrA would lose because he downloaded the replays from a public site. To me and his surprise IdrA did win those matches. | ||

I'll let you find the reason through introspection. | ||

Also I think INcontrol said he'd love to have Husky on NASL.tv to guest commentate. Both of them are e-famous and have their respective places in our SC2 entertainment for the next decade! GO NASL.tv! Husky also bridges the age gap between average SC2 players (20 yr old - 30 yr olds) and the young audience. Husky has a good moniker, fun stream of consciousness, and appropriate catch phrases. | ||

So... you'd rather have dark templars than banshees? | ||
