How comes that this thread is simply about one of Husky's videos and when I created a thread for another video of Husky, my thread got closed but this one did not?

Believe it or not, you too, are just a random person on the internet to everyone here on TL. Husky isn't a saint and neither are you. If you think that you're the king of trolling the internet then you'd realize that people stating their opinions on husky are just as, if not more relevant and helpful than you trying to defend husky from idra, who quite frankly, could be a dick at times, but has garnered respect from tens of thousands of more people than yourself or husky. But respect is useless on the internet, luckily the 300k subs that husky has are on the internet but at least anyone who's met Idra in person at the events he goes to realizes he's one hell of a guy, and has respect in person that you won't get from saying you're a better troll I'll get back to you when I figure out what the hell you just said @_@ You've got this bizarre, bi-polar thing going on where you flip between respect mattering on the internet and being useless on the internet, lord knows what you're actually trying to say. | ||

I belive he calls you... pretentious. Or something like that. And I'd agree. But it's not that you care about random people's opinions, right? | ||

You'd think that people would get over it. Others like someone you don't like, that's life. It's a lesson which has been pounded into me through a lifetime of disappointments, and people would do well to learn it. And yeah, I didn't get Zlasher's post either. Too many sentences imo, it would have been clearer in one. | ||

If you're going to disregard the public opinion just because they're a random person, you have to realize people will disregard your support of Husky. Your lack of respect to someone with an opinion that opposes yours just leads to a lack of respect for you. Just becuase you have some subscribers on youtube doesn't mean you have more merit than Idra or anyone else. TL's community is one of the most open and respectful communities around so why take the opinion of a HoN, LoL, XBL, community and drag that into TL and disregard what everyone says before giving them a chance. Elitism and shit talking seems to be for other communities but no need to wipe the shit covered soles of your shoes on TL's carpet. | ||

Just becuase you have some subscribers on youtube doesn't mean you have more merit than Idra or anyone else. And that works both ways. Just because IdrA is a pro-gamer, does not give him the requisite knowledge, or right, to go after someone without provocation. I do not care if anyone respects that or not, it's about standing on principle and not hiding in a corner when somebody who should know better, takes a dump on one of your personal friends. Either your point applies to both of us, or it doesn't apply at all. Can't have your cake and eat it, regardless of being an 'EG fanboi', whatever that means.

Elitism and shit talking seems to be for other communities but no need to wipe the shit covered soles of your shoes on TL's carpet. Except this is exactly what IdrA did and you're conveniently ignoring that out of personal bias. It's fairly hypocritical. I'd also like to point out that this thread is full of examples of elitism and shit-talking and TL is sadly not immune to it. | ||

He isnt the ideal caster (voice, nerdgasm, analysis, nerd looking). BUT 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 Idra gives the impression that he is bitter about the success of Husky. Sometimes you have to confront those who try and belittle you for no good reason. Well done TotalBiscuit Nice song btw.. Its a grower | ||

He may be a terrible player (mid diamond lol) but he definitely is not a terrible caster (loads of people 300,000 people disagree with you). Pro level sc knowledge is not a prequisite for entertaining people and being the most popular caster. He was casting broodwar before. Maybe choose your words better? Try and elaborate exactly why you personally find him terrible because there is no real value in the way you said it? | ||

Anyway to stay on topic, I really dislike all those music videos, but well I really dislike ANY music video on youtube because its not my taste at all (the music too). | ||

I think a lot of TL hardasses seem to think its cool /accepted to not like Husky. Just an observation I've made. You do know their are multiple types of casters? And different types of people that watch SC2 right? Not just hardcore sc2 players who are looking for the top notch play by play analysis... The arrogance from some of the people in this thread is astounding.... Your comment on his music video however is completely merited. You just like starcraft cut and dry. In my opinion that seems very boring... The Tasteless music video, so many banelings! gotta lovem... I Love having my favorite game/casters put into parodies/music videos. But I guess not everyone finds humor in them : / | ||

So nobody wants a light hearted humorous approach to casting? two words - Funday Monday. Day9 is very whimsical and analytical saying that hes just analytical is wrong. He invented this awesome thing for sc2 fans to do on mondays thats totally for fun. Also you dont have to watch the whole hour which are light hearted and humorous as much so as funday monday. | ||

Speaking about doing stuff for SC2... whatever happened to SCA? Since after reading all these posts defending Husky it becomes a little redundant when you remember HD&Husky developed a pretty darn sizable community and let it die overnight without telling anyone. | ||

I do think that Day9 is the best English-speaking analyst of the game and he also does a very good job casting various tournaments. However, if I feel like just sitting back to relax and enjoy some games, I would go to Husky's channel because while Funday Mondays are humorous, Day9 still stops the games and pans the camera on himself for half an hour, at least in the dailies I have watched, and personally I'm not a fan of that. | ||
