The last thing we need to hear from a cast is drama with a contestant. :-O if that were the case i really would question huskys passion for the game, but currently i only see husky as the gateway drug into the pro-scene for newer players to find interest in high level games. edit: no offense to him, his casts are entertaining but can be lacking analytically imo The song isnt too bad, i liked the banelings one too. all in all is another sc2 song made by the community and i think thats pretty cool. The sc community has pumped out a lot of songs for sc2 and thats pretty badass. | ||

i think the first few minutes of this is all that needs to be said regarding husky staying on task while casting idra.. disgusting. go watch an HD cast with warmup BM- much, much more professional. | ||

Saying the maps were rigged sounds like BS. I recall the maps were: Lost Temple, Blistering Sands, Kulas Ravine, Desert Oasis, Metalopolis, Steppes of War. Providing that IdrA was (and still is) a very heavy macro oriented zerg, Lost Temple, Blistering Sands, and Kulas Ravine were great maps. Desert Oasis, although its probably one of the most hated maps, also is good because of the super long rush distance. Metalopolis is also known as a good map for macro zergs as well. Steppes of War may not have been the best map for IdrA, but thats only one out of the 6. There's also nothing wrong with doing what you love, and helping yourself and also others. Husky brought me into the SC2 scene, introduced me to TL, and basically every channel/site for sc2 that i know today. I don't think Husky does everything purely just for money. Once again, props to Husky for another great video with kurt :D | ||

Lol even if Day 9 casted a game like that he wouldn't ignore the little banter going on in the beginning... Its just entertaining... How could you ignore that... | ||

IF you're judgement of Husky's ability to cast is based off of those first few minutes of him joking about Idra's nerd rage, then you need to take life a little less seriously. Those moments are what casters need to harp on for entertainment. The beginning of every SC2 game is roughly the same and very slow, unless there is cheese happening. He manages to cover what could possibly happen and he discusses what the players were and are currently doing as soon as the Idra rage stops. I'm not expecting anything overly professional on youtube, I'm watching them to be entertained. Husky has a very good grasp of the game, he just goes off on random tangents to fill in gaps; however, not all of those random tangents are as random as discussing his OS, but have been discussions of the game should the opening / level of play warrant it. The people that bash Husky for not being serious enough need to lighten up, an SC2 cast doesn't need to be pure SC2 seriousness...just look at Tasteless and Artosis casting the GSL -- professional and hilarious. | ||

This guy (who I guess is Canadian) apparently has some "suggestions" for how Nerd Alert can raise their views. He just reminded me of Milton from office space and it made me lol. | ||

I enjoy watching Idra play, whether he's raging or not. In fact, I watch his stream every time its up. He's a damn good player, albeit I find his play to be extremely bland and not very inventive. I don't think Husky picked that game because he has something against Idra. If he picked it because he was told Idra raged, then he did it for the comedy value of it. Husky doesn't screen the games before casting them, he casts them as he watches them for the first time. It might of just been Husky wanting to cast a high level game and got the bonus of Idra raging. If you're a caster, you're going to want to cast games with well known or high level players as that will bring the most viewers. It's just common sense. You're reading too much in to it. No one has to go out of their way to make Idra look bad mannered or foolish, he does that to himself. I think he's a good guy, he's just victim to his emotions. | ||

As for all this stuff about idra that is filling the thread, I think it's best to not pay too much attention to troll posts. Ban and ignore. | ||

He 'jokes' about Idra's rage in every cast with Idra in it. Most of the games Idra doesn't rage until the end when he loses, and Husky makes a comment about the offensive language Idra used. If Idra didn't rage in most of his games, especially show matches, Husky wouldn't have anything to potentially make a joke about, but its not like Husky is the only one who jokes about it. Which is easy for him to do since he casts pretty much no wins of Idra. You know, if Idra more than a 55.11% win ratio (642 Wins and 523 Losses), then maybe I'd be willing to agree with pointing a finger at Husky. Idra has more wins casted than losses, just by virtue of the HDH1 tournament; however, excluding those games, he isn't the only player with more losses than wins casted. I take it Husky has it out for those players too. If you look at the games casted, excluding the HDH1 games, that involve Idra, you'd see they were show matches or from replay packs of HuK that he had to ask for. He's not going out of his way to embarrass Idra, but I can't blame him for not going out of his way to cast Idra. Is it Husky's fault that Idra lost 4-1 to Nony (Liquid`Tyler) in a show match that was Bo7? He must of rigged that too. on topic: Banelings was a hard act to follow, but SCV Life was fun to watch and well put together. If more songs are to come they should be more upbeat like Banelings. | ||

People saying banelings was better is an opinion... they aren't trolling. Second off, if I spend the next 2 years of my life sculpting a pile of poo I made, should I expect people to like it? Would people side with me and say "im sure [he] would love to hear from all the trolls that [his painting] was better"? No. People are entitled to an opinion and it should not be based on how long it took them to make it. Either way, no one has said it is awful... they just said another very funny video is better. it comes across as trolling because people are just pointing out the obvious: Banelings is more catchy. of course its more catchy, its not an original song. it's based directly off of a song we've all heard a million times. musically, the banelings song took only a fraction of the talent and creativity that SCV Love Song did. it's fine to prefer the justin bieber cover, but to do so ignoring the obviously different challenges faced in creating each, you'd have to be either ignorant or a troll. | ||

Using that same line of thought, Justin Bieber is great and success speaks for itself. 283,000 copies of his album sold in the first week, and certified 2x Platinum in the US.
