No, I just prefer casters who don't make up dumb shit because they can't be bothered to say "one one one" and create a bunch of work for me and the rest of the Liquipedia staff.

i dont get this, why do ppl make so much fuzz over that? it is not even funny :/ Sup, you know this 'funny' thing you're discussing? You don't seem to understand it. Y'see, 'funny' is entirely subjective. 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. Show nested quote +Why does everything Husky says when he's feeling lazy get turned into something big? And yes, he SAID it was because it was lazy. On air. On the MLG stream. Try to contradict me. 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.
lol whut? i like husky but i just dont get the pylon circus ^^ but the song is cool.
Also take a chillpill mmkay. i think you are a bit worked up atm.

does husky realize what his own voice sounds like when he gets excited?
almost certainly. one of the things i like about husky is that he's fully aware of what a dork he is, and he embraces it. that's great, but it makes for bad casting that and he doesn't know anything Uhm no, his excitement is the best thing about his casts. 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*
oh god i have been mindcontrolled QQ!!!
i need to take a bath.

I really don't understand why TL hates on HD and Husky so much. They are both excellent casters, and they both have a huge following and add a lot to the SC2 community. The people on here should be happy about that, and the people who aren't have probably been so indoctrinated by the srs bsns police that they can never find joy.
But that's not what this thread is about. It is about Pylo.
Poor Pylo. You were so young.
Because they aren't excellent casters. When Husky casted Brood War games I never listened to his casts because I didn't like the quality of his casts (and instead listened to Klazart, Diggity, Cholera, Rise and other youtube casters most of which I thought were better), and when Starcraft 2 came out I continued to not listen to him despite the occasional game. I don't mind HD, but I have hardly watched any of his casts so I don't really have an opinion on him.
The only reason they have such a large following is because they were casting Starcraft 2 VoDs when almost no one else was, and their videos were HD.

True story:
When I was a kid, I went to a summer camp just outside Aiur with a few classmates. I don't remember how old we were, maybe 8 or 9.
We were at the creek one day with some balsa wood and glue, and we were trying to build model ships and get them to float. Well, I wasn't very good at it, but the teacher paired me up with this great guy, a little Pylon who lived downtown. He and I made the absolute best boat, and we won the boat race after.
I was flipping through my photos the other day, and I saw a picture of us, and I had to see how my camp partner was doing, so I looked him up in the phone book and gave him a call. That's when I heard the news.
Oh Pylo, you touched us all.

And I prefer forum posts that dont use the words "dumb shit" "arrogant fuck" and "what the fuck are you smoking?" like your last few posts did.
Stop being angry, if you prefer a different caster, fine. Husky is doing a great thing for e-sports and he's gotten alot of people interested in sc2, including me. So go be angry elsewhere, .

So do you want to explain why that following didn't just evaporate as soon as 'better' casters came along? Simple answer is that people like different things and the majority of spectators prefer a lower level play-by-play style over a highly analytical technical style. Only need look at the numbers to see that is the case.

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. 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.
Just have to point out that you`re really not making a good impression. If I was to judge Husky and HD based on the stuff you write I`d be pretty negative towards them aswell. TL Butthurt Brigade? What?
The fact is pretty simply that the people that frequent TL may have a different approach to SC2 than the people who watch HD and Husky (SCBW experience, more intense\hardcore\obsessive\OCD\addicted to it like meth relationship to SC2/SCBW) and therefore they are not as popular here as elsewhere. Different populations within one game. No need to go all crazy.
And the Rolodex comment was golden Husky.

My guess it is becuse they dont go on a rant for 9mins on why it is better to build a Supplie at 15 instead of 18 supplie.
the TL ppl like that type of stuff.
but then again most TL ppl seems to have some type of hive mind and cant drink a glass of water without instruction from a higher authority and a full course by a water drinking PRO to show them how it is done.

I feel like people think that Day9 and husky/hd are competing. I'm pretty sure they're on the same "team". You can like both, i do. I would never hate anyone doing sc2 commentary, why would I? They're giving me entertainment for free, how can anyone dislike that? Real mystery :D

That's pretty much it yes. Casters are important to the scene, popular casters especially so and it does the community no good at all if people like tofucake go out of their way to flame them at every possible opportunity.
Yes, I'm annoyed by it and if that makes me sound like an asshole so be it. Why be respectful to the disrespectful?

Come on guys. Seriously. don't derail this thread if it is possible. Why can't we just get along (in respect to the mourning of Pylo of course).
This thread shows signs in the first page, and by page 3 it's already some harsh words and random bashing being trown around. I'm not special, I'm not a great SC player or TL poster. But I find it a bit sad that we need to bash our collective head against the proverbial wall stating our disagreement over every detail we can find differentiating opinions about.
Options is a good thing. Freedom to choose is to. Multitude is a privilege that should be embraced. Diversity rules! If we have this one guy that obviously is passionate about the game, gives a lot for free, doesn't ruin or take away from anyone elses efforts, is respectful to his peers, and is a contributing part of an active StarCraft community. Shouldn't we accept him even if it's simply isn't our cup of tea? Appreciate him in a way even? And if he does or dosn't make a buck from it shouldn't be of anyones concern.
The point is. Don't be so negative and confront all all the time, that goes for all of us!
If you like Husky, say something nice, if you morn Poly, sing a hymn with the rest of us. If you don't, well say something else that is positive and contributes in some way. Don't bash just for the sake of it. This isn't a thread about Huskys qualities as a caster. This is just a showoff of a bit of SCII spinoof that some might find funny, others not. Nothing more. Nothing less. Constructive criticism is a fin art. If you don't feel up for it, leave the critic at home until you figure it out. Please. I just want TL to be the best it can be 
/Rant off
P.S. My english is bad, sorry, trying as best i can D.S.

Was this ever funny? I appreciate what Husky does for the community but this just seems idiotic.

This is the best way it could be said.
You're free to like or not like whoever you want for whatever reason.
But even if you don't like one of these casters, you shouldn't deride their efforts, because their efforts are making the game larger and better. You can and should be happy about that seperate of watching their casts, and should not flame a thread dedicated to the caster you don't like watching.
It's mean, and counter intuitive to creating a healthy gaming community.
My life for Pylo.
