Obviously if you are comparing them to Day 9 its pretty unrealistic expectations for them to be on that level. Why? Why is it so wrong to compare them to other casters? Whats keeping them from casting at the same "level" that someone else is? Way I see it, if there are better casters at a major event like MLG, then the best should be put in rather then HDH just so that they "can gain experience" when they already had quite a lot under their belt to even get them considered casting at MLG. They have no excuse. Really, if HD had much better game sense, if Husky could keep his enthusiasm for key moments while and they both could keep a conversation going about anything even when "technical issues" arise without repeating something over and over (noting the problems they had starting one of the games), then I wouldn't mind them as much. But they cant. Whenever an oddball gets thrown at their feet they really dont know what to do, and that's what ticks me off the most. | ||

It was a 2v2 and it was blatantly obvious that his ally was terrible yet HD kept a very patient and ignorant tone as to not disrespect him in his commentary. http://www.youtube.com/user/HDstarcraft#p/u/332/2bLt2XbLuTc I've seen HD play and he is really good. Having listened to his casting since he began making SC2 videos and also seeing him play really makes me think that these "ignorant" comments he makes in his commentary are made on purpose to make it simple and easy for the majority of his subscribers (non-elitists that just want to sit back and watch a game rather then think about why every little decision was made). You can still hear this kind of style in his commentary in his latest videos of Idra vs. Drewbie game where its blatantly obvious to any moron that a single 2 base terran bio-mech ball taking out 4 maxed ultralisk armies in a row from a 6 base zerg is imbalanced. Yet you will notice HD maintains his ignorance and neutrality throughout the commentary. HD plays zerg very well (not pro obviously) so he knows alot about TvZ and probably personally agrees with all the rage people have about the MU. I don't expect him to go into in depth game analysis because his subscribers have already expressed that they like his commentating as it is. All 196,000 of them. This. HD simplifies everything to a fault and, in turn, starts talking too fast and mashing words together or missing them altogether. For example, if a terran gets banshees, HD will go on about how good they are against ground units and will keep bringing it up every time the banshees do ANYTHING. He just needs to realize that most of his subscribers/fans aren't retarded numb-skulls and that you don't have to explain every little thing every time like we've never played the game before. | ||

I don't know about JP though, he just didn't sound as interesting as the rest. | ||

I'm not hating on their skills - commentating on matches is difficult, and everyone talking shit should try it once and see how it goes. If HD were to find a top 20 ladder player with a good radio voice to do analysis for him it would be an awesome show. | ||

JP is certainly fine to listen to, and he both knows some strategy and has learned when to defer in matters that're over his head. Hence I have no problem with him as a cocommentator if his partner knows what's up. HD and Husky can only ever hope to satisfy the "fun to listen to" part, since they just don't know that much strategy. Neither has ever been anything special in either BW or SC2, and it shows when they fail to notice things that are obvious to me (C- in BW and I haven't even bought SC2 yet). It's totally fine for people like them to commentate; right now, there're way too many events for the top few commentators to cover anyway. I just find it a little strange when people compare them to someone like Day, who's providing a much different (and harder to find) service. | ||

When i watch a game i get most of what is going on, i know most of the strats, i'm not looking for some super serious dude to tell me that, i just want an entertaining commentary that i relax to while watching the game. The same thing with day9, what i like about him isnt his commentary (although it's great) it's that he is a really funny guy and entertaining to listen to. So people "hating" on HD and Husky should realise that it isnt just about who knows more about the game. Personally i'd like to say Day9 and Husky commentate together  | ||

Obviously Day9 knows more about the game than both of them combined. But HD and Husky are way more entertaining, they arent always trying to be serious. They would be entertaining if they didn't say stupid shit. 2 Gate on steppes of war not standard against Terran? | ||

No one starts out good. Everyone looks like an idiot when they try something new. It's just how it works. As a community we're supposed to be here to support them while this happens, not tear them down. | ||
