It's happened to almost every 1m+ sub person on youtube ;/ Not trying to hate, it just disappointed me when it has happened to a lot of people on YT I used to enjoy before they became internet superstarz Whatever makes them money I guess, and Husky makes quite a bit. This. I just hope that Day9 won't step into the same route. Then I'll be sad. From an SC2 fan point of view the baneling song is way better and more funny. This is just like "ok let's replace the lyrics of a backstreet boys song with SC2 quotes". | ||

Oh, and look, a Day[9] video in 4 parts... Day[9] must have done it for the money, too. http://www.youtube.com/day9tv#p/u/137/tohnP5C1nJA I like Husky because he stays himself, he does what he likes to do instead of trying to suit any audience. He posts videos of himself playing other games because he wants to and doesn't care that others think he shouldn't. I especially liked how he made fun of that in the BlackOps video a while ago. He also says himself that he is not a good player (though i think his play is actually quite good, though his mechanics are lacking) and just wants to entertain. And in the end he is one of the most mature casters out there. I never heard him using any "bad words" nor does he ever say that a player is bad or stupid. Well, he likes to make fun of people that don't like him, but... who doesn't? You can like him for the entertainment or just not watch him, but hating on him is just stupid. There is no reason to. It makes as much sense as hating on Day[9] because of the horrible advertising on blip.tv... | ||

I got hooked on casting through Husky and HD. I don't watch Husky and HD any more, but I can say with no exaggeration that I wouldn't be on TL without them. | ||

Husky does care for the SC community: 1. Was casting lots of broodwar. He had tons of vids but he had to take it all down to get his partnership because of copyright infringement 2. Put out load of SC2 commentaries in HD quality when they were scarce (beta) 3. Organised and ran one of the first big SC2 tournaments HDH. He had no real experience prior to this, but he did it and did it pretty well and kept a lot of people entertained. This must of taken a lot of time and energy 4. Willing to go cast at tournaments 5. Makes some professionally produced SC2 music videos (Has anyone else even done one? They may not be to everyones taste, but comeon). 4 million views?? It would be fair to claim Husky has done fuck loads for Starcraft. Furthermore, it is clear that Husky has brought a large number of people out from the shadows and into the SC community and TL. He is probably got more people into watching SC vids as entertainment (not just improving your play) than anyone else. Not everyone has to be good as SC2. Hell, I was in diamond (I had to quit cause of medschool) but I still watch his videos regularly even though I dont play the game. Before criticising his analysis, think that there are way more people out there who watch the game just for fun and entertainment, not to really become a pro. (If you are trying to be a pro why on earth are you complaining about him. Its quite obvious there are other people who can help you improve your play) Husky does make money from his casting. So what?? If he can make a full time decent paid job form SC2 then whats the problem? Isnt this what Day9, Tasteless, Artosis, Hotbid are doing amongst others. Im pretty sure a lot of people hate his guts for this (ahem Idra) and his apparent lack of talent. There are loads of people who have put in countless more hours into SC with less to show for it. SO isnt this just sour grapes? Other criticisms such as splitting up videos. This used to be done because of a) HD videos (1080p) take ages to upload and frequently fail (40% of the time) b)he used to have a normal internet connection. So this is quite nderstandable. Guess what tho? Now he has a decent internet connection the games are really long and not split into parts, For putting adverts on youtube before the video. HAve you even watched Day[9]s blip tv? Most youtube channels? The adverts there are the same if not worse. Casting talent. This is subjective. Dont like it, dont watch it. Wait 300,000+ people like his stuff. It would be fair to claim he is the "one of the biggest if not the biggest SC2 caster". Its not like a TV program (GOM GSL) where you are forced to watch the guys. Also its just pure SC2. I dont have to look at his face at various times too. Being homosexual. Dont be so bigoted. U got pussy in the last video Dissing Idra. Idra just ripped into Husky. The guy needs to grow up and learn some social skills (how to better express his opinions for one). If I have missed anything out (good or bad), quote this post and say why. PS. I found it better to listen to the SCV song. The lyrics are wicked | ||

He lives in a small dinky apartment in LA, and lives off the casts. I hardly call that rich. Its a good income, no doubt about that. But rich. Thats way out there... Also you would be completely inept to not realize that without YouTube, the massive influx of interest in SC2/ESPorts community would not exist today... You can't watch SC2 on TV. However, you can go on the front page of YouTube and see SC2 casts on a consistent basis... Don't argue for the sake of arguing Idra. Give credit where credit is due... I know your focus is in Korea. But the YouTube VOD casters outside of Korea are whats making ESports grow globally. Id like you to give me one piece of evidence outside of YouTube that said otherwise... Oh and good news. More popularity = more business interest = higher overall prize pools around the world... Everybody plays their part in this industry. Stick to gaming idra. Your fun to watch, and you actually have a leg to stand on when you douche on bad players. However, you've never casted anything other then those 'sponsor lessons'. And most likely know nothing about that aspect of the industry. therefore, your argument has no backbone. I can imply that from simple common sense, doesn't take a progamer to figure that out. With all that said. Good luck in GSL4. I much prefer IdrA's "sponsor lessons" to Husky's casting anyday. I learn more in the first 2 minutes of Idra's "sponsor lesson" than I do in 5 videos worth of Husky's as a result I enjoy watching Idra way more. | ||

But the guy you quoted was talking about the bigger picture of the SC2 scene. btw There are legitimate reasons Idra is known for BM. | ||

So you have never heard of E-sports before and you randomly decide to watch some guys "sponsor lessons"? I don't think husky out to "teach" people he is out there to show people that SC2 is not just a game, it is an E-sport and it can be enjoyed. Right now he is entertaining 300,000 people. Get into your head the maybe, just maybe through his Youtube fame he has brough people into E-sports where THEN they can learn more about it through people like Day9 who ARE the people looking to make you a better gamer. | ||

MVP just 1/2 week ago 5-0 the best 5 zergs in korea (beat them 10-1) is mvp That much better then everyzerg in the world that they can watch exactly what hes doing and still lose to it remember he won 9 straight games using pretty much the same build with all the zergs watching exactly what he does... Is mvp that much better then (SIC) everyone? YES ... FTFY. Do you really believe any top Terran could have done that? No one but MvP could have done that aside from possibly MKP. Give credit where credit is due, the guy is #1 on the Korean ladder, has almost no weak points in his play, consistently makes the correct in-game decisions, and practices his face off. Even Nestea said "Terran isn't OP, MvP is OP". As for the video, it was hilarious. Keep up the good work Husky! As for the drama, I can't believe Idra's hating on someone's motivations for doing what they love (of course people will try to earn an income doing what they enjoy, and the more views he gets - however he gets them - the more people there are paying attention to SC2 and the more money is likely to be funneled into pro gaming) while at the same time helping the SC2 community and charity. Even if 0.1% of his Baneling vid earnings went to charity, it's still a good thing. People like Husky indirectly help pro gamers earn more (at least in the long run), so Idra should be thanking him profusely, not bashing him. To the people who say he has no talent, explain why he has such a following compared to nearly every other caster out there. The guy obviously has a talent for talking and making things entertaining to the average viewer. I don't watch many of his casts anymore since the GSL provides enough hours of high level games to watch but he clearly deserves the success he has. | ||

It makes as much sense as hating on Day[9] because of the horrible advertising on blip.tv... Agreed with your post...just wanted to ask: How is it possible that people still don't use adblock? I haven't ever seen an ad on anyone's stream/blip/etc ever. | ||

Everyone loves sitting down for an hour with day9 and listening to analytical play? So nobody wants a light hearted humorous approach to casting? Seriously.. who are you? You have basically just said YouTube casters do nothing for esports.. and then called other people ignorant?? Personal example; i got sc2 and played for fun, mainly custom games. Didn't give a crap about the game, didn't even know there was a pro scene :O .. and then, i found Husky on youtube.. and here i am; a part of the community.. and i am the one of thousands.. Ignorant ay? | ||
