But man, you don't get it, he's a terrible caster and that staggering popularity and sponsor influence he has is due to some kind of subliminal mind control embedded into each of his videos. *The prevailing TL view amongst people who should know better* | ||

But that's not what this thread is about. It is about Pylo. Poor Pylo. You were so young. | ||

There's no objectively 'funny' joke, there's no objectively 'unfunny' joke, it varies from person to person. So when you turn around and say 'I JUST DON'T GET WHY THESE VIDEOS HAVE LIKE 200,000 VIEWS AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE LIKE IT', all you're really doing is sounding arrogant, since lotsa dudes opinions > your one opinion. You are the only guy who cares about your opinion on whether or not this is funny. GUYS I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE THINGS THIS POPULAR GUY SAYS BECOME BIG, SERIOUSLY, WHY ISN'T THE WORLD EXACTLY THE WAY I WANT IT TO BE?! That's what I hear, because that's what you're saying. It's also why every thread mentioning Husky ends up getting closed because sadly, a small minority of this community are insufferably irritating elitists. Am I the only one that finds someone saying your opinion dosen't matter and you are arrogant endlessly ironic..... Seriously dude I remember you being a nice guy back in the day. Seems that Youtube partnership gave you a huge e-peen. | ||

I don't hate him, though, I only think he's a BIT overdoing it with the Storm screams. Foreigners screaming GG and STORM imitating koreans sound so, fucking, bad | ||

Perhaps it's TL's 'my way or the highway' approach and endless vitriol against both friends and myself that made me stop putting in the effort to be nice to disrespectful people. Husky and HD have already stopped posting here any more than is absolutely necessary thanks to the hate they get on a regular basis and honestly I'm considering doing the same. The close-minded attitude of certain, vocal members of this community is intensely off-putting. | ||

Husky and HD aren't good casters. Day9 is a good caster. Chill is a good caster. Tasteless is a good caster. Husky and HD were just the first SC2 casters. First != Good Exhibit A: Husky I rest my case. | ||

Humour is subjective, We and I are not the same thing and your individual opinion matters more to you than it does to everyone else. I think the point that we can take from this is that Husky made 200,000+ subscribers care about a pylon and nobody cares about your opinion that it's not funny :> I care. You lose :> Not to sound too pompous, but I didnt find it very funny, but I dont like memes anymore either and this is just that. | ||

I don't think it is disrespectful for people to say they don't find something funny, I think its pretty disrespectful to flame people for saying so though. Why does it matter to you so much that people don't like or do like something, like you say, they are subjective opinions, no need to get so shirty because someone's opinion differs from yours. | ||

Tasteless is a good caster. Husky and HD were just the first SC2 casters. First != Good Exhibit A: Husky I rest my case. I have a whole bunch of friends who watch every game HD/Husky put out, and who tried to watch Day 9 and 5 minutes through their first video stopped watching and told me it was too technical and they didn't like it. I think those people would probably disagree with the statement that Day 9 is a better caster than Husky. And I think there are a lot of people like that, and that's probably why Husky is way, way, way more popular than Day 9. I like Day 9, but I can understand why a lot of people wouldn't like him, and if I were sponsoring a tournament, I'd want the casters who could garner the largest fanbase, and would hire Husky over Day 9. Therefor, I think Husky is the better caster. | ||

All this kind of thing smells of is butthurt, an endless void of butthurt that shows a complete lack of understanding of what makes SC2 an entertaining spectator sport. This WHY ARE THESE GUYS SO MUCH MORE POPULAR THAN EVERYONE ELSE thing is getting very, very old. TL owes HD and Husky a great deal for one thing, who do you think introduced them to their sponsors? Who do you think brought people to the scene to begin with? They were and still are, the gateway drug to higher level casting and they know it. They've never claimed otherwise and yet all some people like you want to do is take as big a dump on them as you can to make yourself feel better. It's pretty pathetic to be honest, a shoddy display.

The irony of this statement is that it's the vocal minority TL Butthurt Brigade that thinks this way. WHY OH WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE THESE CASTERS THAT I DON'T LIKE, to the point of actively flaming said casters at every possible opportunity whenever their name is brought up. | ||

Notice they don't hate on 99.99% of the casters out there.... Maybe there is a correlation. Also last time I checked your main output is Youtube which has some of the most horrible and filthy comments ever in the world. Are you going to quit Youtube too? Remember this community had a large hand in you getting your start, same with Husky. Such a shame, I really enjoyed most of your old posting but now your kind of a dick. Best of luck in the future, but I think you need to stop thinking your king shit because you got a bunch of Youtube subs. | ||

 But really i dont know why people dislike Husky. He might not know alot about the game, but that isnt what casting is about anyways, it's about entertaining people. I dont need to know when someone is 4 gating, or when somebody is cannon rushing, i can see that. What i want is for someone to keep me entertained and spectate around the map for me, and Husky is brilliant at that. I think the reason that alot of people on TL dont like Husky is that they feel that they are somehow "too good" to watch him, or that his videos are meant for lesser skilled players. "Arg, his silly voice annoys me, and he doesnt know anything about the meta game bla bla bla" - well arent you a sad and boring person?  | ||

Also last time I checked your main output is Youtube which has some of the most horrible and filthy comments ever in the world. Are you going to quit Youtube too? Remember this community had a large hand in you getting your start, same with Husky. Explain the rationale behind contributing to a community that tolerates vile and abusive remarks aimed at some of the people that helped it the most. There comes a point where it's just not worth the hassle. Such a shame, I really enjoyed most of your old posting but now your kind of a dick. Best of luck in the future, but I think you need to stop thinking your king shit because you got a bunch of Youtube subs. There is little reason to pretend to respect a group that doesn't respect you and your colleagues in return. We aren't talking about 'I don't like Husky' opinions here, we're talking about actual flames, abuse and even personal insults being levelled at him and others. It's bullshit and I ain't putting up with it. I'm certainly not going to play Mr Niceguy for a bunch of jerks who haven't lifted a finger to help the scene in any way (not referring to you, regardless of your insults). That guy existed in the beta because people were genuinely enthusiastic about many kinds of casting, understood that there were different levels of understanding in both the audience and the casting scene as well as various different styles, all of which were equally valid. Once the game came out, that attitude seemed to fade away in favour of 'this is the way it must be' and that will, absolutely, hurt the community in the long run, because that's not how the majority of the spectators think and the majority of the spectators are what bring in the advertising dollars which get the players paid and grow the competitive scene. What the fuck are you smoking? TL was around long before Husky and HD. TL ran massive sponsored tournaments before Husky and HD. I'm not asking why they are more popular, I know why: because they were first. You need to shut the hell up and try reading responses you arrogant fuck. Massive, stonking irony in that statement. Everytime I've seen you post the stench of elitism and arrogance is overpowering, not to mention how obnoxious you are to everyone who disagrees with you. Maybe you're just a little butthurt that someone is pointing that out for a change. | ||
