Way to support guys! Well first of all don't go throwing the word "trolls" around when you don't even know what it means. 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. | ||

I understand the idea and the fact your under a budget (no pun intended); but, this video really missed the mark with me. There are much better songs out there that would be a better fit for this parody, for example Bad Romance by Lady Gaga. One part did stand out above the rest: "Back to the mineral line..." and all three of you make like good robots and do a quarter turn as you pan off the beach. That was the only quality moment I found. :/ | ||

![[image loading]](http://i51.tinypic.com/2lwq5fs.jpg) I swear I'm not seeing things >_> I wouldn't contend that this one wasn't fantastically produced and a great effort; I just don't think it's as catchy as banelings was and I believe fundamentally that was why banelings was so good. It was clever lyrics + the great production + a song everyone knew even if they hated it xD | ||

 but i'm ready for it.IMO husky's job in Starcraft 2 is to bring Starcraft to the main stream. Husky is an entertainer over an analyst (day 9). And this is fine... Husky is a vital stepping stone in getting Starcraft to the masses. Without husky, Starcraft and esports definately would not be growing as fast as it is right now. If you want Starcaft to grow, husky needs to make parodies like this and keep entertaining. Thats his job. And its a very crucial one for the industry. | ||

Its obviously far better than what anyone else who's commentating video games does/produces anyway. And man, chill out.

I didn't even find it exceptionally funny. It seemed too legit compared to the banelings video. The comments describing this video "gay" are just ridiculous. Though I don't understand the people who like this either. I think I'll just unsuscribe husky. He hasn't made a video I've liked for a long time. Same with HD. They don't really offer me anything, not even entertainment. | ||

best part of the song damn the chorus is pretty catchy but everything else is just kinda gay men-ish like hollister and abercrombie and American Eagle paper bags.

I liked banelings but...that was funny and catchy, thats what husky is funny and catchy...so why is he trying to be...lol "sexy" the lyrics were terrible....and the song not catchy at all. he should stick to casting and get a job in it like day9 and tasteless. See there is a huge misconception about Husky in the SC2 community. Tasteless and Day 9 were actual progamers. As much as Husky is a decent player at the game, and is a huge fan of it. Husky is no progamer analyst. Husky is an entertainer whose job is to bring SC2 to the masses, in a quite entertaining way. Same thing with totalbiscuit, who posted earlier. Everyone in the esports industry has there niche. Husky's is not to be Day 9 or tasteless. Husky's is to do what hes always done, and done best. Cast high level games, in a entertaining, understandable way (kind of ironic how he talks too fast and you cant catch a word sometimes lol). Don't get me wrong. Day 9 and tasteless are extremely entertaining to watch. However, if anyone were to watch the day 9 daily without ever seeing a game of Starcraft, they would turn it off right away. Husky allows for a nice introduction into Starcraft, same with TB. Keep up the good work Husky, and TB. Your right where you should be, and your the best for the job in all of ESports | ||

So I'll at least thank you for proving Biscuit's point. OT: The writing on this one was better than the banelings vid, but the banelings video was hilarious in its own right, whereas the hilariousness from this one comes mainly from the homophobic teenager reactions to it. | ||

If there was no monetary incentive behind spending so much money on making a video of such high production value, I doubt that he would keep on doing it. That being said, it's clear the dude is having a blast with both these videos and his casts. And people (including myself) like them as well. Props to Husky for finding a way of making a living both entertaining us and himself. But let's not say he does all this *just* b/c of the community. | ||

Anyway, this video was hilarious. I think I might love it because I was all into the boy band phase back then. Don't hate, all my friends were too! TT Aaaaaand, thanks, Nerd Alert, now I never wanna kill an SCV again. | ||

Do you know the guy? No. When was the last time you spoke to him? Are you employed by the same company? Are you aware of what he does on a daily basis? Do you know how much he earns? Do you know how much money he plows into making fun content for no personal gain? None of the above, of course. So sit the fuck down and stick to what you're good at. Yeah, so I'm defending my friend. Deal with it.. I won't have you slandering his good name in public without recourse. edit : Noted, removed.

We know he loves SC2 and the community, and we know he makes a living through Youtube adverts. Theres no reason to think that's a bad thing that someone can entertain us and at the same time earn a profit. It doesn't have to be completely black or white. I think it's great he can love what he does and pay the bills. More power to him. | ||

It's as simple as that. | ||

OT: The writing on this one was better than the banelings vid, but the banelings video was hilarious in its own right, whereas the hilariousness from this one comes mainly from the homophobic teenager reactions to it. Implying the hilarity from the video comes from husky ‘trolling’ (used loosely because honestly trolling is lost on today’s youth) the homophobic and homosexual hating community that is the internet, gives to good reason as to why husky is fading away in the casting scene. Husky is not a comedian. He is a sc2 comentator. Also wtf is up with his name for his ‘band’. Nerd alert? I thought husky attended blizzcon. | ||

My problem is Idra being a douchebag for no good reason and not even doing a particularly good job of it, not with you or anyone else who is being reasonable about it. Taking a dump on someone's genuine willingness to help and love for the community is insulting and counter-productive, simple as that. It's not what we should be expecting from our pros, since it's in everyone's best interests that the community grows and works together to advance the scene. Idra isn't exempt from that, regardless of his well-known nature. There's banter, there's trash-talk and then there's just plain being a dick. | ||

As for people worried about his motives.. who really cares? Honestly it just looks like he's using his popularity to help out the guy who actually made the song. What's unfortunate is how everyone is so wrapped up in Husky that they give the actual artist very little credit for a fairly well done song.. Just my two cents.. Oh and PS just to make it look like the comments on my songs... Eh, this is not my style of music at all.. but I guess I liked it. | ||

Sadly, it's common human behaviour. Anyhow, the song was great and really, when you think about it, if you're one of those who believe he only does this for money. Well, I bet he would've made a different song if that was the case... because I'm sure that most can agree with that this is a music genre that does not really appeal to the general gaming community. The lyrics were of course the best part of this song (obviously)... and the boyband parody, of course... no actually, the best part was huskys fakebeard, it suits him in an odd way... :u | ||

+ Show Spoiler + OMG Bad Bromance >.> Edit: just noticed the posts about 'deviating away' from whatever the heck he's supposed to be doing for money and fame. All i have to say about that is .... Are we really going to put someone down for making money off of doing stuff for SC2? I mean really. In the end, what is a progamer. Yea they love what they do, but it's also a job. Commentating SC2 and doing stuff like this is Husky's full time job. The SC2 scene is more than just playing and watching games. Anything that is made to better our enjoyment of SC2 or made as a tribute to our fancraze of SC2, is just as important as everything else. A community has formed around SC2 and naturally a culture has formed around it too. This is part of that culture. | ||

How does this song exactly draw people into a video game.. I mean maybe.. maybe.. the bling one.. but doubtful at best.. The core audience outside of SC2 fans that would like this would be teenage girls that like boybands? Not exactly what I would call your target audience.. Like I said earlier, it's helping the guy singing, other than the fact that he seems to get very little credit as most of the attention is being placed on Husky and not the talent. | ||

Anyhow while I SERIOUSLY dislike Husky's commentaries, I can't bash the man. He gives a couple hundred thousand people most of whom wouldn't ordinarily give a damn about Starcraft or Esports a gateway into progaming. His commentary should not be a basis of controversy. Is he the best? Of course not. Is he the worst? Far from it. As far as how the selection for the TLAF guys went, I'd imagine they saw some games, looked around, and found HD and Husky had the most subs. They asked them to host a tournament, they got sick advertising, and HD and Husky became even more famous. (And got to do the thing they love: cast more Starcraft.) | ||

If husky wasent around there would still be 300k+ people who want to watch SC2 casts, it just so hapens he was able to get that many subs. In addition the majority of his casts are all ladder based. Rarely does he cover any esport event and then sticks the vods on his youtube page. Husky is the halo equiv of the weekly top 10 kills. This doesent bring people to MLG it just gives existing fans something they find entertaining to watch. | ||

Whether people like it or not, care or don't care, their will be those who are curious and check out the game. Thus, a win for ESports in my book. Wouldn't it make more sense then to try to put the promotion effort into a great cast of an epic finals (if we get one)? See the thing that I think people are arguing is that the songs are for fans... At least that's why I make mine. The people that have made starcraft songs are most likely the same as me.. Hmmm.. I make music, I play this game, people might like a song about it. So we do it.. I'm only speaking of the ones of high quality like Husky's have been. But I think people are fooling themselves to believe a song about this game with a video like that will get any gamer to pick it up. Truth is PC gamers already know about Starcraft 2... It's not a secret it's won countless awards and had plenty of promotion. The songs are for fans. The casts are what can get people to play. I know because that's why I started playing. If I heard any of the starcraft songs, including mine, before I played the game I would have thought they were retarded. Let the people make the music just don't argue about whether it helps or hurts.. It doesn't do either, it's just for fun for people that will enjoy it. | ||

If Husky gets on the YouTube front page on a daily basis. GAMERS are bound to be attracted to StarCraft. People already like gaming, they just need to check out a game or two (of SC) to get hooked. | ||

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 think IdrA is just generally disgusted when someone achieves (in his opinion) undeserving success, whether it be a low skill cheeser making it far in a tournament or a caster making it big when there are clearly better casters than him (semi-understandable for someone who's worked so hard for where he is now). I don't think anyone will argue Husky is the most high-level, knowledgeable caster on the internet. In fact, he might be the exact opposite. But he is most definitely one if not the most popular caster in the world. And that pisses off the people like IdrA who think that success should be a reflection of talent and skill. I think Husky is a good entertainer and I support him as such. But I can't blame IdrA for hating him as a popular caster. So I wouldn't admonish IdrA for raging against Husky. I do however, he could have chosen his words a little better while expressing his opinion so it didn't seem like such a vicious attack on Husky's character  | ||

If husky wasent around there would still be 300k+ people who want to watch SC2 casts, it just so hapens he was able to get that many subs. In addition the majority of his casts are all ladder based. Rarely does he cover any esport event and then sticks the vods on his youtube page. Husky is the halo equiv of the weekly top 10 kills. This doesent bring people to MLG it just gives existing fans something they find entertaining to watch. Well, Husky makes Starcraft a spectator thing, his casts are a lot less analytical and more filled with jokes and stuff which appeals to a broader audience. Its like how more people want to watch a game of football rather than watch espn break down a football teams offensive play calling, formations and schemes to show why its an efficient offense. Not everyone who watches a sport like basketball or football want to play to be in the nba or nfl or whatever. Huskys kind of a step towards that which will allow starcraft to reach a broader audience and therefore increase in popularity which imo can only be a good thing. | ||

Husky obviously worked harder bringing content consistently, which resulted in bringing his content to Youtube's front page. I would argue that this had a significant part in growing "e-sports". People who really dig Husky's content and SC2 are obviously going to look up more things and find out about MLG and GSL. Existing fans today exist because well, guys like Husky made lots of work to give SC2 massive exposure. Give credit where its due. | ||

They do the play by play and mentions things like picking up the tempo, having to attack the basket, pick and rolls and stuff. But overall its pretty basic. They don't really go too into detail with their casting if you ask me which is fine with me. Also you gotta realize just because you were a pro at the sport or coached at it, that doesn't correlate with how well you cast it. Personally I think clyde drexler is extremely annoying as one of the Rockets commentators, luckily he missed the heat game. | ||

It was so over the top Backstreet Boys music it was really funny. Lot of extra credit for being an original and not a cover. With a more normal text I could see this becoming the next big sappy hit on the radio I would have to ignore However as it is outside the scope of the music I like I'll probably won't favourite it. I will have to do some soul searching if I wan't to betray my music standards for you guys or if Starcraft music falls under a new yet to define category | ||

After someone watches husky, then they'll go watch day 9, gsl, etc. Also I never said he was solely responsible for the EG tournament getting on G4. Its a start for getting into the mainstream. Im pretty sure only people who care about SC2 would watch that tournament on g4. My point is that Husky brings in more new SC2 fans to watch tournaments like the EG masters cup | ||

Do you think G4 would want to support something a reasonable amount, as they have, if those kind of numbers weren't there? A few thousand youtube views for Artosis, or a few thousand stream views for Day9 don't match that. I'm not talking quality, I'm talking quantity. And as proven by McDonalds and WalMart, quantity is what makes money. | ||

The day 9 daily is extremely popular among people who play Starcraft. Husky brings people into Starcraft. Everyone has there role to play | ||

These sc2 music videos actually are great benefit to the Starcraft community. It ingrains starcraft into the gaming culture particularly amongst casuals. It gives people a reason to talk about starcraft in other gaming communities. HD and Husky brings heaps of new fans into Starcraft (I have at least 5 RL friends that got into Starcraft because of their youtube videos). If you do not like their videos then fine, but STFU and stop slandering them. Keep up the good work Husky! Edit: tbh I think the reason people do this is to try and look cool and elitist. Like I'm from the SC1 days so I'm more hardcore and SC2 people are noobs. | ||

His successful transition from guy who badly casts SC2 to youtube sensation is noteworthy but give it a rest about the fate of SC2's popularity being on his shoulders You have to get out of the professional, competitive microcosmos that is TL and take a look at all the rest. Several friends of mine that play SC2 have never heard of TLO or IdrA or Fruitdealer, they don't know what the GSL is or why it's so awesome that Boxer and Nada play SC2 now. They do however know Husky, and by watching his videos, some have already discovered that there's more to the scene, be it by comments on youtube or references in his videos / songs. Some time ago one of them messaged me something along the lines of "dude, there's this cool SC site called Team Liquid, did you know that?" and he stumbled upon it via a Husky video on Youtube. I'm not saying he's single-handedly responsible for SC2's popularity for a certain target audience, but he's doing a good job at introducing people to the scene via means that others don't use. | ||

Social skills does not involve talking down to people while getting in a personal comment or two.

People who always seem to have a hidden agenda are just hard to get along with. To be honest I'll stop posting. After reading over my other posts I'm just coming across as the guy hating on someone popular to get attention. I don't dislike Husky I just don't like the way he handled that situation. | ||

sit the fuck down? lol shut up retard. he doesnt give a rats ass about the community beyond the fact that theyre making him rich despite the fact that he has absolutely 0 noticeable talents. if the tlaf guy hadnt been desperate to throw money at the community, and husky hadnt gotten in between those 2, he would be a nothing right now. good for him for 'making it' but dont act like anything about the whole thing is for the good of the community. One of the main reason why you have so many fans, that people love or hate you IdrA - is thanks to people like Husky who cast your games and thus you get more popular. Husky has casted a lot of games where you play and that helps you and EG because you get free advertising and name recognition. So if you want to talk about money - well - start by thanking Husky in making you more well-known, famous and increasing your value. | ||

Because it proves how the pop / boys bands are so rubish haha anyone with a "OK" voice and some lirics backed up by some super standart tune can make music.. Not real artists.. And i think they made fun of it and the ultra gayness of the movie also makes it funny eheh and the lyrics are also funny PS: this shit is just like all the KPOP songs.. whenever i hear them on any stream it's always sound off or stream off... how can anyone listen to some random KPOP rubish when you don't understand it, 2nd is very childish, comercial, the tunes are standart.. they are like new kids on the block, spice girls, nsync, etc... they simply do what's been done before all over the world .. KPOP = girls/boys bands in korean! don't like them when i understand them and sure hell won't like them when i don't.. | ||

and im sure kurt is fine with it being labeled under husky's name, hes getting alot of recognition in a new community now because of the videos he is doing with husky. it works really well in both ways. it has the husky stamp and the productions of someone decent at making music i think its a pretty solid relationship and they should keep it up! i love what he is doing for the community, whether hes doing it for riches or not. that shouldn't even matter, because hes helping it grow, and that's the fucking point. | ||

Korean commentators are not overly analytical about the games, they are very much like in Husky's style. That is what makes appealing to Koreans, that's why majority of Koreans still watch OGN/MBC over newer game SC2. The commentators even used to have a show that could be described as reality tv drama where they talk about esports and events. When e-sports becomes appealing to people who does not actually play the game in the west, that is when we can say esports has truly became as big of success as it has in Korea. What husky has done has contributed to exposing SC2 to the mainstream audience, and that is only good thing for esports. | ||

Husky, along with HD, are what introduced me to SC2- I've bought season tickets to every season of GSL, and lurk a lot on TL and started watching Day 9 Dailies due to them. I imagine I'm not alone- I, personally, applaud the enthusiasm and effort you put into promoting SC2, Husky. | ||

Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems, personally, that Husky goes out of his way to only cast games that Idra loses these days. And he is one of the main reasons that the reputation Idra has of being the worst rager in all of SC2 has persisted(Note, he's not. Even Orb is worse. But not saying GG doesn't make you the most ragey playing in all of esports >_>). Not to mention Idra would have been just as popular without Husky. He's kinda in the GSL and all you know. That all said, I love husky(Though I don't like watching his casts anymore), and hope he keeps up the good work ^^ | ||

One thing we will never know is the effect of Husky and HD's work on youtube on the SC2 scene as a whole, and especially how their viewership increased Teamliquid's web traffic. I mean it would be hard to find the data but I know for sure that they had an effect. If you took them out of the picture there would be a noticeable amount of people who wouldn't have watched the GSL, kept up with Teamliquid, and just in general the starcraft scene. Husky keep plugging TL and TL just support him because I mean if you can support IdrA in his rage and how it actually inforces some negative stereotype about gamers, then you should be able to support this dude. So I would say I would thank Husky and HD just a little bit for not just IdrAs popularity but many aspects of the starcraft 2 world. You can say it was minimal, however many will argue that it was a lot. However, just the fact that the influence is notable is enough to give props to them despite people's accusations of money whoring. Thanks again husky | ||

There is also a video where he is running Idra's lost game in some background as well. So I'm not surprised that Husky fanboys are here to attack Idra. Oh well. | ||

Even in the gsl his oppentents tell him to manner up. And i might be very mistaken here but I dont think the korean pro's are the subscribers of husky. I like Idra cause he plays well and he is clearly a smart guy. That he rages or is bm i just try to ignore. | ||

props to husky's professional response after being hated on. hater's gonna hate, don't worry about them. Husky's doing a fine job. One thing that bugs me however is that husky isn't really putting in much effort to better his casting/game understanding. He's fortunate to have the attention of the casual sc2 crowd but he's not giving them the full experience of watching a sc2 game. | ||

Despite the fact that I think it's great to support the community I think that Husky doesn't know aynthing about this game. His casts suck if you're anywhere near decent and I just don't see the reason why he got so famous. Neither he's funny nor he knows what he's talking about (unlike Psystarcraft, a little sohutout to my fav youtube caster). He always depictured IdrA as the little rager which is the main reason why so many people hate on him now (I think he's great). I also very dislike his music videos. Even if it is "only" for video games they don't have to be _so_ bad. These are my personal opinions and most people are most likely gonna disagree with me but I don't care. | ||

You get a lot of attention and people like his style and some kind of like the "IdrA rage". I know a lot of people who are fans of IdrA (Not Anti-fans) who started by watching some of Huskys replays with him and then started searching more and more. They get more into the community and the eSport side of SC2 and then go on wathcing GSL etc. Hey, my girlfriend even started liking IdrA after she watched some games casted by Husky (& HD). | ||

I agree about being passive agressive, but should he let Idra slander him? I mean some random dude on a forum, ok, he should just ignore that, but Idra is a popular, well known member of the community, and people attach value to his opinion. In this case, people who don't like husky's casts, read Idra's post and think Idra is right and they will hate husky for something that (I think) is not even true. It's such a shame that husky is being hated on for doing the same things he has always done, but now he gets paid for them. Getting paid does not mean you don't care anymore. EDIT: People say Husky hates on Idra in his casts, which wasn't true back when I still watched husky, but if it is now, Husky should quit it, that's just disrespectful. Even if it is only mentioning Idra's rep, it doesn't add anything to the cast. | ||

I'm guessing most such people don't cast and use youtube popularity as their main source of income, which would explain why he does that? being passive aggressive is just being an asshat, no other way to put it. Would you rather he start BMing and trolling instead? Since using insults is obviously a much better way to further the discussion = /.Being 'aggressive' (i.e confrontational) is obviously not the issue here, making posts that are either complete spam or unnecessarily filled with insults are. Doesn't change the fact that you pump out mediocre songs that are seriously lacking in creativity, rhythm, or just plain catchyness This has nothing to do with the rest of the argument --- but if critiquing his musical talent is what your going for, then maybe You should make something better no? Seeing as how his efforts are so terrible. | ||

I agree with some people posting previously in this thread, if this was the "first" (ie. before banelings) video people would appreciate it a lot more. The production value is really high, perhaps not as high as last time with all the dancers and different settings but still way above the average for any community parody video. Regarding the lyrics; I think they are actually good. I know a lot of people posting here would have liked "more" from the lyrics but I think it's placed on an appropriate level. Anyone who has any experience with SC at all will understand them and therefore they reach out to the big mass of people, something I find Husky really good at doing. Keep them coming! | ||

Don't get me wrong, I do realize there has to be some way to cater the masses (I can see that despite my open elitism). My opinion is that after you've spent so much time and effort to get somewhere (and eventually made it), you should set some quality standards for yourself. Like, you could actually learn a thing or two about how the game is played to provide better / more insightful commentary. I know, I know - not everyone is born with talent this way, and Husky certainly "doesn't need to" improve - the numbers speak for themselves, don't they? I just think of this as a matter of self-respect, but I guess our views differ on this. And as a matter of fact, I don't think this only applies to Husky. I'm sure we can all agree on that even the best casters can benefit from a constant effort of improvement on their work. | ||

But in all seriousness, I only bought SC2 because of Husky. If it wasn't for his commentary providing a great introduction to the game, I wouldn't be following all the major tournaments, watching Day9, reading teamliquid.net, etc. I personally really like his videos. Maybe not so much the song parodies, though they're kinda fun, but his commentary is fun and sometimes hilarious, and he uploads some great SC2 matches. So hats off to him for that, I say. | ||

I think this video is better than the banelings one. This song was different and the lyrics were good. Husky does what he likes and he has always done that. To get money doing that, I don't see why he should put money in front of community. Keep up the good work Husky! | ||

Kinda shortsighted though considering Husky is bringing in so many new people to the Starcraft community, which will result in more viewers and bigger prize-pools for the US/EU tournaments. Something that is likely to benefit Idra. So really Idra ought to get down on his knees and show Husky some appreciation. | ||

nah but it's like important like the role husky does for like bringing starcraft and stuff to the community and promoting e-sports and like, yeah with husky it would just be like he does so much for us and stuff like, yeah but i felt like, with my expert opinion, that this song didnt capture the true essence of starcraft 2, i feel like husky is like going in the wrong direction and stuff, he like needs to take his responsibility as a starcraft 2 person more seriously | ||

It's such a shame that husky is being hated on for doing the same things he has always done, but now he gets paid for them. Getting paid does not mean you don't care anymore. EDIT: People say Husky hates on Idra in his casts, which wasn't true back when I still watched husky, but if it is now, Husky should quit it, that's just disrespectful. Even if it is only mentioning Idra's rep, it doesn't add anything to the cast. Sometimes its better to take the high road and not say anything at all. It's obvious some people try to provoke a response. Why bother giving them the attention they want? This goes for anyone. Anyone who blindly follows a guy like Greg is nothing more than a sheep and that's fine. It's their problem, not yours. The guy makes a lot of bold statements and he's been known to be wrong in the past. Besides that, I don't know why some of you guys keep saying it's Husky's song. Yes, he did help with the production and creative; however, Kurt writes the songs. Cheers! | ||

On the actual video though, I really thought it was funny! Not up to Banelings-level of funny, but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. I think Husky is a good caster (a GREAT one when dual-casting with more intellectual casters like Day[9]) but I think his real place in the coming years is going to be as more of a Starcraft 2 Personality. Like switching his focus from 85% casting 15% funny things to maybe 50/50 both ways. Also, a side note: by "intellectual casters" I just mean casters like Day[9] who are more analytical than goofy. Think Artosis compared to Tasteless. I'm definitely not trying to call Husky dumb or anything so I hope noone takes it that way. | ||

He has to at least watch it once in order to approve or disapprove of it. The fact he asks people to subscribe and favorite it before and after is baffling. I don't think you understand the point he's trying to make. Watch the commentaries, in which there is very little (or no) time spent asking for subscriptions. Skip the music videos and announcement videos. Simple, If you're not interested in the casts, too bad. You don't get to complain about someone who you don't watch except for a couple of videos which he barely made himself. Sometimes its better to take the high road and not say anything at all. It's obvious some people try to provoke a response. Why bother giving them the attention they want? This goes for anyone. Anyone who blindly follows a guy like Greg is nothing more than a sheep and that's fine. It's their problem, not yours. The guy makes a lot of bold statements and he's been known to be wrong in the passed. He has done this for a hundred other threads, with a thousand other people who couldn't think before they speak. It is astonishing that it took this long for him to get passive-aggressive, let alone just plain agressive. Honestly, I don't really watch the man's videos the whole way through any more. But idra's post was just completely fucking out of line. You cannot expect him to not defend himself from that. He's not Buddha. Besides that, I don't know why some of you guys keep saying it's Husky's song. Yes, he did help with the production and creative; however, Kurt writes the songs. No one's saying it's Husky's song. A lot of people (on TL) subscribed to Kurt. Also, a side note: by "intellectual casters" I just mean casters like Day[9] who are more analytical than goofy. Day9 is pretty goofy They really have much of the same ratio of analysis/goofing off, when you ignore the stereotype. Day9 probably has better analysis (I don't play the game so I can't really judge and don't really care), and it's debatable which one is more entertaining. | ||

I was commenting solely on the music videos; not his casts. That's a whole different can of beans that I rather not go into seeing as this is a thread about the music video. As for the bold. I could have sworn I said something pretty similar in the post you quoted; although, you did twist the words. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on something they've watched.

Why does Husky get all the credit for these music videos when all he does is appear in them looking awkward and posting the vids on his channel? I mean people are lavishing praise on him and him alone while ignoring the actual people involved in the composing, direction, production and singing. It's fine that these guys are collaborating with him to make stuff but it's just odd that he gets sole credit for these things when in actual fact his involvement in the making of them is pretty minuscule. I'm not saying Husky is stealing the show from these guys deliberately, the vid description proves he doesn't, but I mean come on; the thread title is 'Husky's SCV Love Song'. How is it his? | ||

His claims aren't backed up by any evidence. Not just that, but the evidence points to the contrary. I have lost respect for Idra, despite his "talent". Husky got a break, he made the most of it. Sour grapes perhaps? Would you appreciate someone laying into you? What would you have done differently to Husky? He has done more than most to entertain SC2 fans and he is enjoying himself. 300,000+ people disagree with your statement. | ||

I am also very glad that everyone is able to contribute in their own way to the sc2 "community". Be that through being an awesome player, knowledgeable about the game, a great caster, a comedy/parody/satire game-related creator or any combination of the above. I just hope that all that contribute can appreciate one another's strengths. Out of interest Husky. When you donated the banelings vid was that the advertising PLUS the ITunes revenue or just one of the two? For the record I think you're crazy for donating ANY of it to charity. Buy yourself something nice for gods sake! You deserve it for the work you put into those vids. As a band name I would recommend: "The Man with One Leg." So when people ask why you're called that you can state that it is because you are IMBA. | ||

On topic: The vid is awesome. I by no means like this kind of music, and it seems a lot of haters are the same, but COME ON, it's a well made and hilarious SC2 song. I fully support this sort of nerdy nonsense, and give my full respect to Husky, Kurt, and all TGS/random people involved. Keep it up. Nerd Alert forever. <3 | ||

The melody and the lyrics are ok,obviously Banelings was better but I still found it funny.(open-shirt guy FTW) I thought that Nerd Alert could find much more important terran units to praise than SCVs (Thors,Banshees,Ghosts etc,if we consider that Marines and Marauders were already given their dues in Banelings ) | ||

That would be like going to a Boxing match in the late 80s early 90s and being like "Don King is so amazing... Wow I mean look at how many people know about boxing because of him.. Oh Mike Tyson?

Didn't like this song at all though. Listened to it a couple of times and I can't remember any part of the song itself. That Kurt guy also needs to let Husky sing more rather than having him as a background prop no matter how bad Husky is at singing. | ||

For the record, I thought the video was a pretty good parody of the old boy band videos, but no doubt the BEST part of it was how it trolled all the kids from Camp Homophobie with their concerns like "oh no what if someone catches me watching this!?", that's comedy gold right there. Oh and to the guy who screenshotted his most recent videos noting the lack of commentary: you realise it's the holidays right? No one is (or expected to be) working full time on their business as usual stuff right now. There aren't any new dailies on Day[9]'s channel either, but he gave us a holiday special ("oh Dayvie, Dayvie, DAYVIE! Noooo, DAYVIE!!") that was awesome anyway. And sure everyone's entitled to their opinions and you don't have to like it and you don't have to shut up if you don't like it but if your entire post is just "well that is bad" then you're not even adding anything to the discussion, which defeats the purpose of forums in the first place. Youtube has like and dislike buttons for precisely that reason. Use them. | ||

I know the other guys are credited but its just annoying seeing the community, the viewers, latch onto Husky whether they hate him or love him. This is just a personal annoyance mainly but it does raise some questions in my mind about the future relationship of the actual makers of these music videos with Husky. Shit, I'm a creative person (not a musician/composer mind you) and if I made a thing that got 3+ million views and 99.9% of those totally ignored my contribution I'd be fucking pissed as hell. Sure with Husky there the baneling video may not have gotten all the views it did but still. And if we want to roll with this title thing then it could easily have been; "SCV Love Song feat. Husky" because that's what it is. | ||

Husky’s fans strike me as the same group of people who believe the U.S. invaded Iraq because of WMDs.

And you strike me as an incredibly arrogant person. romulus is pointing out that complaining about Husky for making money doing something he loves is a bit ridiculous, especially when he is providing a service to you and I free of charge. Whether or not you or I personally like that service doesn't matter, he's has every right to ask people for money so he can continue doing what he does. Granted, there are times and places where it would be inappropriate to do so, but I haven't seen Husky ask in any inappropriate or unreasonable ways. So you don't like the fact that he asks for donations. Don't watch his stuff. Furthermore don't imply that because somebody does or doesn't believe in political issue (which is exactly how you are using it in this context) is ignorant in some fashion. | ||

first off all, why would you bite in the hand that feeds you? if it wasnt for casters, noone would be able to watch the game outside of replays. this would significantly decrease the marketing value of the players aswell as tournaments. same goes ofcourse for casters needing the community and top tier players to make a profit. but in the end husky does nothing but asks you for a freaking mouseclick. seriously, hes not even taking a single penny out of your wallet. so why the fuck are you complaining? i cant jugde if hes acting like a saint or not, since as said above, i really dont pay attention to him or his vids, but if he does so, he has the goddamn right to do so. cause in the end he found a way for himself to make a living providing FREE entertainment for you, the community. if you dont like it, just dont watch it. but please just stop the hating. | ||

The whole point of collaborations on Youtube is to share subscribers that aren't currently subscribed to both channels. (by getting more to). edit: Okay, if he posted it on his own channel he would be showing his video to his own audience and subscribers, but by Husky posting it there is potentially 400,00 new subscribers that weren't included in the original subscriber base of Kurt. With all that said though, realistically he might gain a fraction of that with maybe 5-15k, which is still a shitload of people. edit2: Husky himself would not be able to produce a video of that quality and if its good enough it can eventually be featured like Banelings was and attracts more people to Husky's main content. (read the Banelings comment section, hundreds of people are asking "What game is this!?") | ||

But in all fairness i lost a lot of respect for totalbiscuit after this incident because there is no real need to react in such a way. "opinions are like assholes.. everyone has one" that includes me, idra and you! so even this is a opinion.. i dont think there was a need to bash idra at all.. The way i see it total biscuit looks like he just flipped out on idra and then idra reacted as idra would... actually no he reacted as a lot of people who had been repeadtly disrespected and insulted for typing "hahahahahaha" I'm a hypocrite i over-react to things but this was quite excessive Glad they only got short bans tho they are both very important contributors to this community. <3 And for the record i think Grackmebabyonemoretime would appeal to the younger generation of females a bit more if he could get the britney voice going for him | ||

Some videos that he directly profits from? Not so much. Of course that is still much more than the vast majority of the "community" does for the game, not trying to downplay that, but it would be inane and naive to suggest his main motivation isn't to earn living. | ||

If anyone else had replied like that im pretty sure 99% of the time you wouldn't have become a asshole instantly in the name of huskey.. you probly would have just shrugged it off , but its because a "named" brand typed two letters to you, you felt the need to go wage a jihad on TL >> Well not the same but you see how easy it is to take something so ridiculously little and blow it up like you did yesterday. I was just saying mabye you shouldn't have reacted like you did. "the backlash from my end was mild at best." The point is there really shouldn't be a backlash, and there wouldn't have been if it were not idra im fairly certain of that. And as far as i can tell friends are not for bashing community figures because they are able to voice there opinion that is often backed up with truth. The point is how much do you really know about everything that husky does / take in / make.. to be able to say that this is 100% for the community and that in the near future he doesn't have two big dollar signs in his eyes..I mean to me it always looked like another agenda was on the plan when they opend " the game station" and Said "go sub there too its going to be great but still come here too!!!! And for the record the community would defend and back husky up in a second if they felt he deserved it, i imagin most of the people on TL who play sc2 who care enough... know about there little beef and would have made there own mind up as to idra's motive. Anyway i enjoy your casting didn't really mean to pass judgement as who the fuck am i to pass judgement just thought it was a bit "funny" you got suckerd in so easily by said troll you claimed to be better at, and all it took was 2 letters Thats some mighty trolling imo.Actually the weird thing is most actual "community figures" should care about said respect on said internet thats your reputation on which you base your commentarys on, your not a pro gamer who can justify his opinion by earning said dollar for said e-sport. Your a sports commentator so if anything your reputation should damn matter to you. idra can be a dick all he wants, make everyone hate him , and yet those who still KNOW <-- respect his opinion becuase of said profession. | ||

So stupid. Saying Husky has "no talent" but he's "Good at casting" is tad bit of an oxymoron, don't you think? Sure, maybe he isn't the most talented SC2 player professionally, but that's not what he's doing professionally. He casts games, and he is good at it. He's an entertainer. I would have to say that counts as a TALENT. These songs by him are also entertaining, I've loved them. And insane profits? I'm going to go out on a limb and say husky isn't exactly a high roller living in his small apartment. Sure, he makes a living doing something he loves, that's awesome, I don't see how that makes him greedy/untalented/completely unconcerned with the community or whatever. That's just a ridiculous accusation. | ||

He complained when he lost to zenith, whitera and many others. Honestly, its his biggest flaw. Both in his character, and as a progamer. Idra is an amazing player. But honestly if he cant accept the fact that someone outmatched him in a game of starcraft when he loses. Hes going to have a real hard time learning from his mistakes in the long run. Idra thought zerg was broken when starcraft 2 was released. He thought it was simply impossible for any Zerg to win a high profile tournament like the GSL. However, the 1st two seasons were won by Zergs. Proving that Zerg was indeed powerful, and a capable contender. If i was a progamer, and i certainly am not. Even if I played a race that was blatantly underpowered, I still wouldnt try making a living with Idra's attitude. Attitudes alone in my opinion can make or break a player. Saying something is impossible to achieve, especially when your trying to achieve it, is a huge mental barrier. I believe it is when a true progamer looks beyond those mental barriers that they can achieve anything. Just look at fruit dealer, and nestea. Even through adversity. They still strived to be the best player's in the world and actually got it in the end. Even when everyone thought the odds were stacked against them. They still rose to the occasion and won it all. Sorry if this was extremely OT. But this was just my 2 cents. | ||

Don't know if u actually watched gsl season 1.....but i can promise you zerg got buttfucked fruitdealer was a CLEAR cut above eveyone else since beta, that is why he won gsl 1 , and nestea won gsl 2 because zerg got a buff that the other races hadn't adapted to yet. 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 everyone? no was it a lucky day? maybe Did zerg just develop faster due to there limited options ? most likely. I mean if your job was getting kicked in the leg for a living, then the guy kicking you in the leg decided to put a 10kg weight in his boot wouldn't you be a bit pissed? I'm not saying there is a imbalance just recenetly all the results have looked fishy as hell, 85+% of finals have a terran in there somewhere that i have seen, im sure the precent could be higher.. I can assure you im pretty sure there is no mental barrier for idra nothing is really holding him back, he is widely conciderd the best forigner for a reason. Times are just very tough as a zerg player... as the protoss and terran builds get more refined theres more timings you need to know about, etc I mean this is exactly what idra was talking about, zerg won 2 gsl, practically NOTHING ELSE since the game came out, he wished fruitdealer hadn't won that gsl just for these opinions on the zerg race, remember zerg got buffed hugely, and are still not winning tournaments and struggling hard. But i don't really care im not even at the level where imbalance plays a factor in my mind, its all about if i improve enough i will beat the players around me, where at there level its like no matter how much i improve i still can't suddenly scout what kind of all-in hes doing... "i can see 1 base, i know hes going to all-in me but with what?" Mabye i will be proved wrong in the near future with zerg suddenly exploding with new strats but i don't see that happening to a reactive race. | ||

Do you know why Day9 is on blip.tv? Becuase he can make some extra money off the ads there, does that make the beloved (on TL.net at least) a bad guy? No, neither does it make Husky. Both Artosis and Tasteless draw a paycheck by doing GSL, they love the game but they also need to get paid, as does Husky. I dont know Greg Fields personally but i am pretty sure his ass would be on the first plane home had GSL not offered the biggest cashprize in competitive SC2, he isent there for the culture, and that goes for every foreigner there. Nothing wrong with making money off something you love and enjoy, but apperrantly only certain members of this community are "allowed" to do so, Sean Plott isent going to cast your tournament unless he gets paid, thats not greed, thats him being smart. The guy made a 3 minute ish video, no its not suppose to give you the "gay" its suppose to parody the boybands from the late 90's, its suppose to be funny, if you dont find it funny why not just say you did not enjoy the video? And no i am not even a subscriber of Husky, i dont even have a account on Youtube, i have watched 4 of his videos in total, so dont even go with the "fanboy" argument that holds no water. And what does this say about the community if someone wants to contribute? You get called a "homo" for it and bashed, even by a progamer who cant see the irony of it all | ||

Sure husky contributes but day9 is a cornerstone of our community, he just won pc gamer of the year because of his contributions. Its like comparing American football to rugby, they are just two diffrent sports all together. Not saying one is better then the other, but they work in very diffrent fields, day9 is like that guru you always wanted to have as a teacher, and husky is like that friend you always love watching football with. | ||

On this, I'd like to add a few words: Starcraft, along with a host of other games, is no longer just a game. If esports are ever to emerge and solidify as an element of our culture, they need a tiny bit of professionalism and courtesy in them. Yes, in the past we watched streamed games - no, streamed tournaments without even commentary. Yes, some people offered to cast those simply because they could do it, simply because they liked it and wanted to offer that extra bit of enjoyment to the community. It's no longer like that. If they (Day9, DJ Wheat, anybody else) wants to commentate just for the heck of it, ask them nicely and they'll do it - they're more crazy about this game than you even think. But please; if you're going to ask them to fly over the Atlantic to cast a 2-day tournament, or to leave their studies aside for a bit to cast your Open, or whatever, don't you think the least you have to do is reward, nay, compensate the guy for his dedication? his professionalism? his efforts to learn what the fuck ZvZ is about so he won't spout crap during the cast? his fucking travel expenses, even? If not, then you're just either a greedy bastard or uninformed of how the world works. PS. And no, I'm not going to argue whether asking people to put effort into something should go unrewarded; in cash or otherwise. | ||

Actually fruitdealer made some big huge post crying he is only winning 10% of his ZvT's And that the race is imba etc, So i think that pretty much denys anything you said, Something i hate is that when players "think" just because you are angry, just because you are outspoken to feel something is unfair, that you actually try less, i feel it makes me try even fucking harder, idra has a winning personality, he can't handle defeat .. what does that mean? Well hes going to try his hardest to not be defeated. I will be playing with my 2v2 partner and raging at him for not closing his supply depot, and he will talk like iv suddenly not putting in 100% into the game, which in turn makes me even more annoyed becuase even tho i get pissed at something say its unfair etc, i don't stop trying. Think of it like that GG where the guy says "GG" then keeps playing till he is 100% lost. | ||

and it's surprising that IdrA thought Husky rigged the map pool in HDH 1 to favour White-Ra. Anyone remember what were the maps exactly? That was some serious accusation. Although with all the accusations at GSL i guess the community is immune to these kind of things. Seemed like quite a venomous comment though. That, and adding that Husky does his things PURELY for money. Idra really got a beef with him and unless IdrA really really knows Husky well, i don't see how that kind of comment can be defended :S Anyway making money is not mutually exclusive with passion and doing things you love. More power to Husky and his community! | ||

You can love something and still make money from it. It doesn't have to be black or white. Progamers love starcraft and make money from sponsors. I for one am glad some people, who are not good enough to be pros, can still make money from something they love (Starcraft). Also correct me if i'm wrong but didn't Day9 ask for donations a few months ago? No one called him out on it, and right fully so. Why cant he get a few bucks for something he spends a lot of personal time doing. Stop the hate. Don't like it, don't subscribe. No one is putting a gun on our heads and making us do it. | ||

Saying Husky has no talent is the STUPIDEST THING I've ever heard. Yeah, sure IdrA can beat him at Starcraft 2 and Brood War with his eyes closed but GUESS WHAT SIR he's an entertainer not a progamer and he's damn good at what he does. Ohhh IdrAma... | ||

The more analytical casters don't do as well may chap some peoples hide but that's the way it's always been. The "color man" makes the most money in football in horse racing in everything. Get over it. Of course some nerds may not understand being empirical based but how you relate to people is everything in life. GL idra. | ||

They both are mostly hated but have their fair share of followers. Both are great at their sport and stuff that comes out their mouths always spark some kind of big discussion. | ||

I'll probably get banned/warned for this but it needs to be said Husky is an icon for sc2 and pretty much the hero/king of the on other notes: Yes husky wants to become famous and his ego probably got wet dreams about beeing a known figure in sc2-esports. | ||

Well actually, to keep your Youtube Partnership, you need to have different types of videos, so just commentaries and only commentaries would lose him his partnership, that's why people do those "vlogs", and Husky does these songs. Or maybe it's because the Banelings one was so popular they just made another one. Also the Banelings one was just for his 100,000,000 viewer special. | ||

People stating he is greedy and only doing this for money, are wrong. People stating he is doing this just out of love for the community, are wrong. It might be grey, not black or white. It certainly looks as he is doing his casts (and other videos) with fun and enthusiasm, but everyone who believes he NOW does not want to earn money with it, is just ...... a fool? | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

I attribute Husky's success to his determination and his being here from the get go in SC2, and NOTHING ELSE. His skills or abilities are irrelevant, its the fact that he puts out content and has done so from the start, whether or not he is "doing it for the community" is also irrelevant. Good or bad (his effect on the community), it's a side effect of his determination to gain views and subscribers (in an effort to make more $). I just wish people would stop arguing about whether or not he's good at what he does, because obviously, it doesn't matter. | ||

If husky wasent around there would still be 300k+ people who want to watch SC2 casts, it just so hapens he was able to get that many subs. In addition the majority of his casts are all ladder based. Rarely does he cover any esport event and then sticks the vods on his youtube page. Husky is the halo equiv of the weekly top 10 kills. This doesent bring people to MLG it just gives existing fans something they find entertaining to watch. I would disagree. I know my cousin watches Husky, but rarely watches Day9 Dailies as an hour is a long time to watch. I've been trying to get him to watch the GSL free vod's. (No way he'll watch it live at 2-4am in the morning.) So that is one Husky fan, that would probably not otherwise watch SC2 esports. | ||

you watch it for entertainment not for hardcore analysis, he knows this and stays true to it which is what he did from the start haters gonna hate, its not like he didnt try to be where he is, hes even said the videos he puts out on a regular basis take alot of his time up + iirc he still works so if he wants to do a parody, why shouldnt he? | ||

The SC2 community really doesn't need him, his casts are abysmal as well as his strats, Day9 or Djwheat and others are way better. So everyone is wrong and you are right? .. oh that's where i was going wrong.. you can't speak for Husky's motives any more than the next guy.. why wouldn't you believe he loves the community and loves making money.. why are those things mutually exclusive? This guy has been casting since BW where he was making sweet fuck all so don't juts jump on the troll wagon. He loves sc2, he loves casting and does a lot for the community and omg if he makes money along the way who the fuck cares!? So what!? he is meant to sacrifice all his time for free? Get real kid.. nothing is for free in this world; i doubt his main motivation was $$$ and even if it is; so fuckign what? He is done more for esports than you could ever dream of accomplishing.. | ||

What he's saying is the style he does it in, a lot of the content Husky puts out is done in a way to make money, like cutting up his videos into multiple parts, or recasting games that I guess kinda belong to other casters. These are just the things he does, and on the surface it appears that he is doing it for more hits, but what do I know, I am not risking aggravating anyone over this. Anyways I would be careful what you guys say about Husky, some of the mods happen to be fans of his and are not afraid to hand out 7 day bans (cough cough) for assertions that Husky is doing it for the money. PS: Husky's facial hair must be even more horrifying in real life (I mean that in the kindest way possible) | ||

Husky doesn't care about SC2 / Casting / Etc. That is a very bullshit statement to make.. no matter what point you are trying to prove.. Plus the bans were handed out for the manner in which they were voicing their opinion, not the opinion itself.. | ||

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... | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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..

I would like to remind everyone of something Day[9] said, that esports is not going to become popular through people putting eachother down for their contributions (paraphrasing). I think we can all respect the work that went into this video. Please, rather than making divisive comments about one caster or another, lets just talk about the video. And, personally, I appreciate every game that is casted by everyone, and I could care less about their financial specifics. Funny song. Excellent work on the lyrics. But I would like something a bit more upbeat next time. (I'm sorry, but I can't be bothered to sift through these comments to see if anyone else has cited what Day[9] said). | ||

Ya don't abandon them or let someone slander their good name just because that person happens to be the Big Bad Wolf of SC2, huffing and puffing and trying to blow your supply depot home down Defending your friend is fine but saying you don't give a shit about someones respect for you or husky because they're a random person on the internet helps about as much as your defending your friend.

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 think it's awesome that more (genres of) songs will in fact be made in the future by these guys though. It's something to look forward to. But even though I like stuff like song parodies, I do hope Husky keeps the commentaries coming as well. I like Husky as an entertaining caster. P.S: After reading about 15 pages of internet drama I decided I had enough. For some reason I find reading people's personalities through internet drama interesting in a way. But only to a certain extent. | ||

The guy is a personality, similar to Day9, the same? No but it's similar. Apples and oranges where TotalBiscuit is grapes(because all of them across the pond have that tart feel. I jest, you gents are great). They are all in the fruit family, casting and informing masses. I could say the same for anybody else in not your typical "profession". An outsider looking at eSports and gaming could say the same exact thing about playing games like Starcraft for a living. That is just silly. Husky has done more for pro gaming in this past year than I can think most have done in a decade. Reaching people & raising awareness In the end it is what everyone wants. The fans want it, the players want it, and the casters want it. He's reaching more players and fans than Day9, that is just nuts when you think about it. It's a bit more productive for everyone telling his subscribers to vote on a popularity poll on G4 than to be known as eSports gaming bad guy. I don't know the guy like Totalbiscuit does, I don't watch the guy like his fans do, I don't hate on the guy like Idra does, but from the videos that I have watched I don't know why anyone wouldn't like him - other than think it's cool and hip to hate on the guy with as much influence as he has. | ||

Now this is more personal: + Show Spoiler + 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? | ||

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. | ||

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 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.

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 | ||

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 : / | ||

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. | ||

I can appreciate that he's helping SC out though. I tend to just stick to replays, but if I do watch a caster, it's usually xHydrax, as he really makes his videos tailored for the spectator. Picture in picture, player introductions, etc. Very polished and doing stuff other casters haven't tried yet. Also, he avoids an overabundance of silly humor... which is something Husky and Day9 have a little too much of for me. | ||

I'm not really a Husky fanboy, though I do enjoy an occasional cast from him, but how can it possibly be bad that there's someone casting SC2 games, not matter their abilities or personality? At what point does that ever turn into a negative aspect, and at what point does the discussion regarding this require people to accuse other of mental retardation? ADHD perhaps, would be more appropriate. | ||

As an actually gay gamer (I think I am one of maybe 3 on this site) , I thought the SCV vid was a lil wierd honestly. However I laughed sooo hard at that third guy especially at the end of the video and yes I think its hilarious that husky just trolled every homophobic gamer out there <3 That bein said I fuckin love Husky, I watched his vids during beta and he basically convinced me to pre-order from gamestop to get a key. Husky's casts are FUN and ENJOYABLE, if you do't like them don't watch but clearly 300k people do in fact enjoy his videos. Moreover, it's kind of absurd to say he doesn't care about the community because however much money he's making I sincerely doubt it's that much. I love IdrA I basically learned to play by studying his replays. I found out about IdrA from Husky's casts.. hm... What's wrong with more basic casts that are fun to watch? Oh and yes husky isn't that great compared to the pro's we all like to watch... but I'd be willing to bet he's better then a lot of the people who posted here.... | ||

Yeah, so I'm defending my friend. Deal with it.. I won't have you slandering his good name in public without recourse. edit : Noted, removed. Mod note: warning removed, he took away the martyring very fast. First of all: I love you TotalBiscuit. If you had better knowledge of the game, you would most likely be the best SC2 caster in the world. That's my honest opinion. That said, what you're forgetting here is that HUSKY is actually slandering IDRA's good name every time he gets a chance. Whenever he casts some game of IdrA, he makes fun of his "childish behaviour". He goes all in to make IdrA look stupid. Except for in the HDH1, I don't think I've ever seen Husky cast a game that IdrA won. If I see a video of Husky, commenting IdrA, I'm 100% sure IdrA will lose. And I'm always right. Since IdrA wins most of his games, there's no other logical explanation to that than Husky wanting IdrA to look bad. What's worst, posting a single comment in a thread on TL saying "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA", or trashtalking someone for 10 minutes in a youtube video that over 300 000 people are certainly going to watch? It's not even comparable, IMO. If I were IdrA, I would be seriously pissed off about that. How do you think it feels, knowing that hundreds of thousands of people think you're a jerk, just because some guy goes out of his way to cast all the games you lose while making fun of you? Try to actually think about that for a second, and be objective. What would you think of Husky, if you were in IdrA's shoes right now? I'll admit, Husky was the one who got me interested in SC2, but before I started watching GSL and other stuff, I thought IdrA was a complete loser and a moron. All thanks to Husky. Now, IdrA is one of my favorite players. Cheers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP_ASm0XvvA | ||

At this point Husky could upload anything titled in all caps with those tiny colored speech bubbles and it would get an awful lot of views, despite him having the same formula for his jokes over and over again. Personalizing the units, isnt that genius?  Stop being so sensitive about bm, lets just be real here and judge the product based on its quality.

Whether he cares about the community or not, he makes videos that people here enjoy, and him making StarCraft 2 commentaries appear on the Most Viewed lists on YouTube over and over again actually is a pretty big deal. It thrusts StarCraft into the faces of people who would otherwise be unaware that a community even exists. That said, I don't like how he goes for the "hey let's laugh at IdrA raging" approach with every cast. Then again, IdrA doesn't exactly help himself in that regard. Other progamers can restrain themselves without too much difficulty. Reading through this thread makes me sad as an IdrA fan. Are we all just anti-conformists blindly parroting random criticism? | ||

IdrA puts himself in a bad light - intentionally! That is his persona; he is the BM king, that's the character he portrays in the esports industry.. Husky doesn't like the guy because he chucked a hissy fit accusing Husky of rigging the maps in HDH1; warranted. Whether IdrA wins or loses (most of the time loses) in Husky's casts; they are usually still pretty cool games.. I.e. he doesn't go out of his way to cast shit games just to rag on IdrA.. I don't know what planet you guys are living on thinking IdrA has a good name.. and at the end of the day; no matter how awesome a player he is and how much i love his approach to the game - his behaviour is more often than not.. childish.. | ||

I'm amazed that people are still trying to "fix" IdrA and his bm/trolling behavior (i.e. TotalBiscuit's reaction, which was justified, but still, you aren't going to magically change him, I feel it is wasted text). As for Husky not doing anything for the community, talk about all the people who started watching his videos and then came here after they became addicted to competitive SC2, I know I'm one of them, and I've seen tons of other posts saying the same. If that isn't helping the community, I don't know what is. Do I think that Husky is the best caster out there? No, I feel that Artosis and Day[9] are better. But I'm damn sure I would be bored to tears of Artosis and Day[9] if I didn't already care about SC2 and hardcore analysis (i.e. the difference between going for a pool first or hatch first as zerg, and what supply you do it on, expanding like crazy and when you do it, micro play, troop movement, timing attacks, BOs, the list goes on). So for that I thank Husky because he actually did make me care about SC2. And props to HD as well, because he, along with Husky, made me care. So thanks to you two: <3 HD/Husky | ||

I like Idra, I like TB and Husky, but I don't know who to cheer for. Which one of them is Ironman? | ||

YOU get over it. You could have finished watching the video and learn that it's an original song, not a cover. as in topic: great song, really like the borderline homosexual tone to the song and the lyrics, though the video could have been done differently like ZombiesOMG, in an industrial plant. Now that i think about it, they'd have to have amazing hookups or tons of money to film at a plant. I do have to point out that their SCV robotics did not feel very robotic... I guess there are limitations to biological robot imitators. Oh, and of course, this song is not as catchy as the Banelings Justin Bieber cover because it was not made by professional song writers who know how to write songs that appeal to the senses of tween girls and boys. | ||

I recently watched a video of a youtube guy making a video and all his comments in the video were, you're fat. And he replied, why do you tell me I'm fat, I know it. And that's true, just like we know how we're gonna die one day, we don't talk about it. So even if you think that Husky being so popular is luck or bullshit, no need to share it. | ||

That is his persona; he is the BM king, that's the character he portrays in the esports industry.. Husky doesn't like the guy because he chucked a hissy fit accusing Husky of rigging the maps in HDH1; warranted. Whether IdrA wins or loses (most of the time loses) in Husky's casts; they are usually still pretty cool games.. I.e. he doesn't go out of his way to cast shit games just to rag on IdrA.. I don't know what planet you guys are living on thinking IdrA has a good name.. and at the end of the day; no matter how awesome a player he is and how much i love his approach to the game - his behaviour is more often than not.. childish.. I wont add another comment to that as i stated my opinion earlier in this thread, but i have to add: One reason why IdrA loses a lot in the casts is because IdrA doesn't release his replays, but people will release replays of them beating IdrA, especially if IdrA raged. This means the available replays will be either tournaments or IdrA losing/raging, not much choice there. I would bet all my liquibet points that if IdrA would send a replay pack to Husky that Husky would cast a lot of them, including a lot where IdrA is winning. | ||

That's my honest opinion. That said, what you're forgetting here is that HUSKY is actually slandering IDRA's good name every time he gets a chance. Whenever he casts some game of IdrA, he makes fun of his "childish behaviour". He goes all in to make IdrA look stupid. Except for in the HDH1, I don't think I've ever seen Husky cast a game that IdrA won. If I see a video of Husky, commenting IdrA, I'm 100% sure IdrA will lose. And I'm always right. Since IdrA wins most of his games, there's no other logical explanation to that than Husky wanting IdrA to look bad. What's worst, posting a single comment in a thread on TL saying "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA", or trashtalking someone for 10 minutes in a youtube video that over 300 000 people are certainly going to watch? It's not even comparable, IMO. If I were IdrA, I would be seriously pissed off about that. How do you think it feels, knowing that hundreds of thousands of people think you're a jerk, just because some guy goes out of his way to cast all the games you lose while making fun of you? Try to actually think about that for a second, and be objective. What would you think of Husky, if you were in IdrA's shoes right now? I'll admit, Husky was the one who got me interested in SC2, but before I started watching GSL and other stuff, I thought IdrA was a complete loser and a moron. All thanks to Husky. Now, IdrA is one of my favorite players. Cheers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP_ASm0XvvA This. When I first saw husky videos on sc2 i thought 'wow idrA is a really whiny bitch!'. and then after a few months i started to realise 'holy shit if i was getting 6pooled, cannon rushed, proxy raxed, scv marine all in 5-6 games in a row. I wouldn't GG too!' After GSL seasons I've become an idrA fan because his macro is simply amazing. Plus hes getting better and better too from his GSL season progressions and his stream! What does huskateers think of him still? A douche-bag who gets angry over losing to something 'easy' when they never even played the game yet. Husky's still uploading vids of idrA getting cheesed or losing, its almost not a funny thing anymore. Any moron could go to husky's vids and see 'IDRA' and then its automatically assumed 'ragequit'. Husky does help to introduce newer people into SC2 but portraying idrA as the anti-nerd who rages at every 4 minute matches is getting a little annoying :/. | ||

A long, long time ago I can still remember Before SC2 had come out I opened my email to see I had received a beta key And a man from Oregon on Youtube liked to shout And things were different Because for starters He had an Asian casting partner They used to act like brothers But I think they fell out with each other I can't imagine what was said Or how their partnership was dead It gives me aches inside my head And then I saw this Team Liquid thread And they were posting Oh, my H-U-S-K to the Y We liked that one thing about Banelings And this is a nice try But the day I enjoy watching 3 shirtless guys Well then that will be the day that I die That will be the day that I die TB came and called them trolls Explained Husky's motivating goals IdrA came and he just lolled. TB said “don't talk shit cause you don't know” Then a reply came from iNcontroL And it was written in a rather bad cockney drawl And then, TB said that he loved him iNcontroL said don't paint me with your criticism Were going to the e-court of law. And then TB called him a troll I have to say I was confused as fuck And honestly didn't think this new song sucked So I went and had another look At all the other thread replies And they were saying Oh, my H-U-S-K to the Y We liked that one thing about Banelings And this is a nice try But the day I enjoy watching 3 shirtless guys Well then that will be the day that I die That will be the day that I die And then IdrA responded to TB Said Husky didn't care for the community. And he called TB a retard Well you see IdrA made his stand With such venom that it got him banned It's fine though 'cause his ban was only temporary. Oh and when internet arguments are started Remember, even if you win you're still retarded Because nothing is ever learned And no opinion ever turned. And then people keep posting just to whine They keep comparing HD and Husky with Day[9] Despite their completely different styles And back in the thread, meanwhile They keep on saying Oh, my H-U-S-K to the Y We liked that one thing about Banelings And this is a nice try But the day I enjoy watching 3 shirtless guys Well then that will be the day that I die That will be the day that I die They just keep saying Oh, my H-U-S-K to the Y We liked that one thing about Banelings And this is a nice try But the day I enjoy watching 3 shirtless guys Well then that will be the day that I die That will be the day that I die | ||

TB is pure play by play commentary, and I love him for that. But Husky often tries to offer insights into a players build/what he thinks the outcome will be etc and invariably gets it horribly wrong. I agree, he doesnt try to be Day9 or anything, but the small amount of analysis he does do in his games is pretty horrific. It certainly needs alot of work, and Husky clearly doesnt plan on working on it The number of times I hear "Oh this doesnt look like it will be good for X"... followed by... "wow X completely came out ahead from that" is pretty significant. TB doesnt tend to guess the outcomes too much, he just watches the fights as if either player could win which imo is better if you are not a starcraft god like artosis/day9. | ||

Sure, Husky's commentating is more geared towards the casual player. But that doesn't take away that Idra is acting like a 12-year old (something he could never get away with if he was on Liquid, for instance). | ||

Slightly off topic here. How many people watches football, the game? How many people watches ESPN's play-by-play analysis of the said game? I guarantee you the first number is much larger than the second number. Obviously this is TL, so we prefer the play-by-play. But you can't put a number on what's good for the community. What's better for the growth of the football community? A game broadcasted on the biggest channel on TV, or the step analysis afterwards? Arguably, both are equally important. Before I go more off topic here, I will just say this: Day[9] got me into diamond, Husky got me into SC2. | ||

i know this is a little unnecessary, but i just cant stand reading through this thread and seeing ppl who are literally choking down Day9's manparts while posting like he was sent down from the heavens to take them to the promised diamond land. The reason Husky has more than 3 times the subs is because any reasonable person who starts to watch Day9 will think that he is someone trying really really hard to be funny and clever but is just awful at it. If you like day9 and he helps you a bit, whatever, thats great, but people saying that "Husky shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Day[9]" or "Husky is an introduction to SC, but Day9 is the real deal" just know that there are plenty of people crushing you on ladder that think the opposite. | ||

Sorry, but anyone higher than bronze league won't get any useful knowledge on how to play the game out of a husky cast. Similarly, most people that are terrible at the game because they aren't going to, for whatever reason, put in the effort to get better won't get hardly anything out of a day9 daily. Since terrible/casual players make up the vast majority pretty much anywhere except TL, we tend to enjoy the analysis of day9 more than the hyping of husky, while husky gets more subs on youtube where the casual players hang out. | ||

If you think Day is all jokes and sound effects, perhaps you should pay more attention to his actual analysis. I don't hate HD or Husky, but they are just not my taste (half-baked or wrong analysis, relying more on color commentary in my opinion). Day breaks down the game in much more detail, focusing on more subtle decision making that can help refine someones game, instead of giving generic do this to win (which is never actually all it takes) advice. It's apples and oranges though, Day is in depth analysis, Husky is shoutcasting. I'd be curious for you to actually source these "plenty of people crushing me on ladder" that think Husky provides better SC2 analysis than Day, considering lots of pro's (huk, idra, gretorp, etc) recommend, support Day as an analyst and many come on his show. Edit: After seeing your post in the strategy forum... "hey a good strategy that wont require a ton of micro vs zerg is just getting like 3-4 thors as quickly as possible and pushing out. Bring a few scvs in your attack to repair and maybe some marines and mauraders as backup and you should win alot." I can see how you're utilizing that Husky analysis to crush your ladder opponents with these great strategies | ||

And i guarantee that at one point Day[9] has said something similar to "subtle decision making that can help refine someones game" and you took your beloved Day9's words to heart and rehashed them here. And ya i know that Huk and idrA (my 2 fav players) and other pros are Day9 fans (prolly cause they are fellow players and friends) but I'm sure they cringe when they are on with Day and he just embarrasses himself. And of course there are Day9 fans who would stomp me, but i'm sure out of the 375k!!!! subs husky has that maybe just one of them could edge you guys out in a match. | ||

And i guarantee that at one point Day[9] has said something similar to "subtle decision making that can help refine someones game" and you took your beloved Day9's words to heart and rehashed them here. And ya i know that Huk and idrA (my 2 fav players) and other pros are Day9 fans (prolly cause they are fellow players and friends) but I'm sure they cringe when they are on with Day and he just embarrasses himself. And of course there are Day9 fans who would stomp me, but i'm sure out of the 375k!!!! subs husky has that maybe just one of them could edge you guys out in a match. Okay, whatever, you're not even making points any more. I'm sure you know HuK and IdrA so well that you know what makes them cringe (probably why HuK refused to be a part of Day's stream... oh wait) If you're all mystified that someone used a proper sentence like "subtle decision making can help refine someones game", which is both generic and obvious that you try to say they had to "steal" that from someone, then I don't see any point in conversing with you. Welcome to Team Liquid, you're off to a great start in your first few posts. | ||

Day9 dailies are for analysis of games, not for watching the games ala HD or Husky. That said Day9 is a great commentator as well and he does a great job (IMO him and HD are my fav commentators) I do agree with you that people do choke his manparts down, but thats why you should hate the Day9 fanboys* and not Day9 himself. You need to understand though the fanboys just copy him because they're fans of day9, not fans of starcraft :S. *Insult Day9 while laddering, you have no idea how many idiots from TL will get upset with you and try to change your mind while you macro | ||

H to the usky Husky! is simply the dumbest possible way to introduce himself in every cast. What's with his recent upload with the 6 months old IdrA game in the beta period anyway? + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/user/HuskyStarcraft#p/u/8/dI8zcSjDBAM What's with the fake laugh? He can't find any new games to cast? Oh I get it, he doesn't like IdrA and is passive-aggressively trying to undermine IdrA's popularity. This is really unprofessional as a caster and just plain douchey. | ||

You guys should chill... Husky (And HD for that matter) are casting games purely for others entertainment (with some analysis, but honestly they're not top level players, so they can't give too much insight). Now, not everyone finds the same things enjoyable/entertaining, do they? That's why there is so much variety in entertainment, there are people somewhere who enjoy whatever it is they're watching/listening to (different music genres, theater, sports, movies, TV shows, etc). Comparing Day9 Dailies to a Husky/HD cast is kind of silly. Comparing Day9 casting games to a Husky/HD cast makes more sense, and if you don't like one/two/any of them, then don't watch their games... There are plenty of other casters for Starcraft 2. And if you don't like anyone, then try casting some games yourself and see if there's anything unique about your style compared to theirs... Who knows, maybe you'll enjoy it. | ||

I just hate how every time I read a thread like this one that mentions HD or Husky or Psy someone just HAS to feel the need bring up Day9 and how he is better and how they want him to father their children and then seemingly everyone on TL will post and agree. Just look at "BusyBeaverHP" posts. Guy prolly prays at night to Day9 then proceeds to have dreams of him casting a game and then wakes up with a slimy splotch on his boxer briefs from the sheer gravity of Day's analysis. | ||

It is a similar style to TotalBiscuit - both of which try and make their casts more entertaining than analytical.. but i suppose that is below you? If you can't understand how this appeals to a wider audience than the nerds who can sit down for an hour and watch day9 then you are increcibly naive and ignorant.. i love how you have nothing to say about the OP either, just a straight out flame of Husky.. You don't find him funny and you think he is a shit caster.. but most of all - noone gives a fuck because he provides a great deal of material to an audience that would otherwise not be interested.. | ||

HungryMan, people like you aren't helping either. I cannot believe we cannot go 3 posts without going around the same shit. Give it a rest. If you have constructive criticism to add, great. If you have nothing else to add then leave it be. This thread has nothing to do with casting so leave that crap out of it. | ||

Artosis and Chill have always been the best SC commentators since Broodwar. They sound like sincere and serious nerds with a quite monotonous yet soothing voice. Day9 fans are like underground music fans, they think their idol is the best only because they're "not famous" as other mainstreamers like HD and husky. | ||

There are a lot of things wrong with your post but I'll simply address the last one. Day9 is not famous you say. Day9.. not famous. What the fuck? Do you know anyone who watches SC2 VODs who hasn't heard of Day9? I see Day9s face on several other forums over and over, moreso than Husky or HD which really speaks for itself. You might not like him, but don't be ridiculous. I suppose Starcraft 2 is an underground, unknown game? I mean, it's not "famous" compared to famous games like Call of Duty.. Uh, what? That's ridiculous, no? Day9 is probably the most popular caster in a lot of communities, while HD and Husky has a larger Youtube following. Saying any of the three is anything but famous within SC2 is ludicrous. | ||

Comparing Day[9] with HD and Husky is like comparing Nas with Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy. If you watch a game that Day[9] casts (Attention: not commentates. Like Wednesday Night Fight, not like EG Masters), you'll easily understand that your statement on Day[9] is dead wrong. You're right about Artosis and Chill, they are really good, actually better than Day[9]. But, Day[9] can't be compared to Artosis&Chill at what Day[9] really does best, which is commentary-game analysis (no disrespect to both). djWHEAT is really good as a caster as well. Husky's SC2 casts are as good as Soulja Boy's Hip Hop songs. Both 6 feet deep in the ground. | ||

Husky and Day9 are fine too as they bring a lot of new gamers into SC2 making eSport grow. I prefer Day9 over Husky though for obvious reasons. | ||

My favorite caster/analyst/(therapist?) has to be Artosis though. He knowledge of the game is just so crisp, he always knows the latest builds and strategies. And I'm not only talking GSL here, his youtube commentaries for random games are always a blast to watch. Mad props to him. With Tasteless bringing in the jokes and good atmosphere, I really cant think of a better casting duo for GSL. | ||

You can't compare day9 to HD, PsY or Husy his casting is far better and his dailes are far fun to watch. I can go on why I think the way I do, but this thread isn't about that so just shut up and talk about the topic. | ||

EDIT: Let me expand on that. What you 'shoutcasters' don't seem to realize is how disposable you are. Anyone with minimal knowledge of the game can start casting games for the community. You don't realize that what makes the scene interesting are the players; the players who actually put hours of effort and sweat to master a game as complex and difficult as starcraft. All YOU had to do was get a microphone. Let's look at the higher quality casters for a minute. Day9, Artosis, DJWheat, Incontrol, Gretorp, Chill, Gisado, Psy, Tasteless. What they have in common is either extensive knowledge and skill with the game, or a lot of experience spanning the brood-war era/esports in general. Husky? Hd? Biscuit? Vincere? Not to harp on all of you, but unless you step it up you're going to fall to the wayside quicker than you can yell 'I don't know what's going on, this game is crazy.' | ||

I wanna see husky and his team come out with another #1 jam with big beats and hot synth lines. Banelings was great... but much of its success was due to the fact that it was a parody of the #1 you tube video of all time. You can make fun of me all you want... but Justin Beiber's Baby Baby, instrumentally, was VERY VERY catchy and well written. I can take or leave the lyrics though. Doing any song with those instrumentals will be appealing. | ||

I refuse to do anything more because I can't sacrifice my personal time. I don't know how some of these streamers do it. | ||

DJWheat casted when he didn't know a zealot from a zergling (exaggeration obviously) and people still liked him, hell, I liked him from the first time I heard him cast and he definitely didn't have a lot of game knowledge then. Why? He can cast games and make it entertaining without any deep analysis, I have the same opinion of TotalBiscuit. I haven't actually heard anything from HD or Husky since beta and assuming that their casts are similar still I would imagine people still watch them mainly because they enjoy listening to them commentate Starcraft 2 games and not for deep, strategical analysis of the games. It doesn't require nothing but a microphone and minimal effort to cast, I'm quite sure of that without ever having casted a game. For one they have to encode, upload and all that jazz which takes time on its' own, but they also have to be entertaining for the viewers throughout games or series that can last 40+ minutes. I have never casted a game, but I am damn bloody sure that quality casting doesn't come from a cheap microphone and a recorded replay with some play by play mumbled by a random gold player. | ||

You rely on people like him for your career to work, making your self-importance almost laughable.

While day9 is for sure more famous than husky that's not what sc2 casting is about. sc2 casting is being part of the sc2 community not just the youtube community. sc2 casting is loving the game and not expecting your viewership to compensate for content. sc2 casting is casting live events and meeting the progamers you are yelling into your mic for everyday. sc2 casting is being able to keep up with the meta game and understanding players styles. These qualities make a great caster not how many views you can grab on a volatile website like youtube. | ||

I kinda have the same problem with Tasteless, but it's not nearly as bad. EDIT: Let me expand on that. What you 'shoutcasters' don't seem to realize is how disposable you are. Anyone with minimal knowledge of the game can start casting games for the community. You don't realize that what makes the scene interesting are the players; the players who actually put hours of effort and sweat to master a game as complex and difficult as starcraft. All YOU had to do was get a microphone. Let's look at the higher quality casters for a minute. Day9, Artosis, DJWheat, Incontrol, Gretorp, Chill, Gisado, Psy, Tasteless. What they have in common is either extensive knowledge and skill with the game, or a lot of experience spanning the brood-war era/esports in general. Husky? Hd? Biscuit? Vincere? Not to harp on all of you, but unless you step it up you're going to fall to the wayside quicker than you can yell 'I don't know what's going on, this game is crazy.' maybe tasteless does not have the same in-depth knowledge as artosis but he is the funniest guy ever. i love artosis, don't get me wrong but if he was the only one casting the games.. it would be so much more boring. i think tasteless is extremely funny to hear.. and even when sometimes he's goofy (forgets something, says something wrong) it's part of why i like it. also, i don't think you can make such "clear" division between "higher quality" and "lower quality", there's a recent cast where incontrol says that infestors can't neural parasite air units, that's like.. a mistake that probably HD or Husky wouldn't even do. does it mean that he has less knowledge than the game compared to them ? probably not.. yet, it seems he is lacking zerg knowledge to some extent. does this make him a bad caster ? i don't think so people should stop talking trash about this and that guy and just enjoy whoever they like. i find hilarious this kind of antagonism between fans of different casters.. after all, we all here for the same reason: the love for sc2. one big thing that has been brought up tons of times but it seems that people don't realize yet is ... casters like HD and Husky are actually SUPER important for the esports scene in the west.. and if the true "dream" of lots of nerds is to reach a level like korea with broadcasted TV matches and all that shit, we need mainstream stuff like that.. because guess what, if you actually have ever been to korea the average korean watcher is a casual gamer that plays for fun and watches it for fun. it's not the kind of day9 daily audience. recently in one of my classes in college someone was talking about starcraft i went over to hear what they were saying and so many kids in there were husky's fans, they just watched his cast and they didn't even play the game. one or two did randomly, but nothing serious.. but they all loved the casts. that's the kind of "advertising" sc2 needs to grows as an esport. we need everything and everyone. we need day9 daily and Husky.. so stop hating | ||

Since when is running a youtube channel with ads ranking in thousands charitable? Not to mention the donation button, since when dose someone who gives "charity" to others accept donations? Stop mentioning how much "time" he is putting in to his work. You know what that is called? A Job. He makes more than almost anyone who posts on this forum for little more than being "funny". Honestly I agree with the naysayers in this thread, the lack of actual talent in so many of the top casters is disturbing. Past your cookie cutter "youtube personality" that can be seen on ANY random channel not related to SC, there dose not seem to be a lot of knowledge or depth. Let alone real videos that help the community as in tutorials/behind the scenes at tournaments/lessons etc. Instead you get video after video of people talking in raised voices, screaming the same jokes, trying to make meme videos on a daily basis hoping it bites, music videos designed for what seems to be 13 year old girls. There are so many good and talented people the SC2 community, it dose irk me a bit that Husky is at the top and has legions of people calling him "charitable". Lol. Edit: I guess basically what I am trying to say is this: Some of the top casters in my eyes, do not seem to be part of the SC2 community. They are just youtub'ers that would do anything that payed the bills. That is not in any way wrong, but should be recognized. Also, less phony youtube personality, more genuine content.

As to your comment that his music videos are for 13 years old girls. ROFL. Do you have a personality? Do you have a sense of humor? Do you even realize what you just said? Yes the videos are like music videos that are designed for 13 years old girls. That is what people call a joke. You see... jokes can occur when people juxtapose ideas or themes are are different or opposite each other and put them together for a particular audience. This process has been utilized by say, every comedy ever. Have you ever seen SNL, or Southpark, or read Shakespeare? The joke is that three not attractive males are singing about love with a man in a robot suit on the beach, and we all know (except you evidently) that there have been dozens of music videos of attractive males singing about love with human females on the beach before. Given that Husky's audience is mostly males ages 16-35, and the music music videos that came before his are for females ages 13-18, this juxtaposition of different/opposite ideas/themes becomes a joke. Jokes are funny, and laughter is healthy according to doctors, I've heard. | ||

No, he doesn't put a ton of analysis into his commentaries. Yes, he mostly just yells and speaks in an excited voice. Obviously you'd prefer he did things differently. ...but at the end of the day, husky's generated a ton of interest in sc2 from people who likely otherwise wouldn't have stuck with it-- maybe it was with one of his watchable and accessible casts, or maybe it was through something silly like the banelings video. If you're going to argue that having more eyes on pro sc2 games in any context is a bad thing, then we're on entirely different pages here. oh, and people call him charitable because he's done a few charity events, most recently donating all of the revenue from the banelings video to charity. | ||

Day9 fans are like underground music fans, they think their idol is the best only because they're "not famous" as other mainstreamers like HD and husky. thx for judging me :D To be called a underground fan is kinda cool tho Day9 is just imo the best shoutcaster out there cause he can hype 1 marine the same as 1 mothership. i think that is fun, and himn analyzing the crap out, i dont care, i even like it cause it makes me feel like i understand the game.

I could say husky is terrible at game sense has no talent and when compared to other popular casters, his analysis of games is non-existent and his audience is mostly newbies; or I could say husky does a good job spreading sc2 to a wider audience but in terms of depth and knowledge his casts are not as great as many other popular ones but his enthusiasm helps to make up for it. I am pretty much just saying the same thing but sugar coating it with bullshit in the second case and it disturbs me these kinds of statements seem par for the course in sc2. It is "ok" to criticize someone as long as you bullshit enough to make your statement not come across as negative. For better or worse in this community you cannot be that blunt (unless you are chill or incontrol both of which I enjoy) and suffer no consequences, people can debate it but ultimately it is up to the TL staff how they run their website and if you want to post on it you should respect that it is their website and they can run it how they choose to. Is Idra wrong sometimes, or extremely bias? Yes. But I would much prefer someone like that to the passive aggressive statement husky made, an insult cloaked in bullshit. | ||

Yeah, any caster benefits from getting attention. Not most profit in as literal a sense as husky, but I don't see why this is a problem, I don't think a major argument for his casting is that he's completely selfless or anything. On February 01 2011 16:23 gregnog wrote: Not saying he is an evil person, he is just not the best candidate for most popular SC2 personality. He is not even top 10 =/. That might be true, but here's the fact: he IS the most popular caster, and I think he's doing a pretty good job filling that position. Could someone else do it better? Probably. But it's not like we can just find the perfect candidate and just magically drop them into husky's place. And even if that were possible, there would still be hordes of people like you making angry posts about how your perfect caster doesn't deserve the attention he gets because he's making too much money or his analysis isn't good enough or any other of the dozens of reasons people seem to think up. I feel like people are saying he's good or bad 'for the community' just to justify why they do or don't like him. I don't really think he's doing much for the community directly at all, myself. What he is doing though is successfully running the most popular SC2 channel on youtube, getting tens of thousands (or more!) of people to watch SC2 pro games that probably wouldn't otherwise, and he's managing to stay interesting to his viewers and generally just not fuck the whole thing up. No matter who the one doing that IS-- Husky, HD, Day9, whoever, I'm happy it's happening. (...and who knows, maybe HDH2 will start eventually and then he really WILL be doing something for the community! :3) | ||

Eiii, obviously he gave to a charity. Obviously Husky is not rich, and not a mega corporation. Just reminds me of the typical way you hear of charitable giving in the news. A company worth $5,000,000 writes a check to a charity for $1000, then wants to tell everyone about it. Or to be more exact, his fans want to tell everyone about it. Obviously I am just throwing around fake numbers, but that is the feeling I get. Especially since you mentioned he did it as an afterthought, after the popularity (backlash?) which I did not even know about. | ||

I personally got into SC2 because an old friend sent me a link to some of Husky's casts during the beta. I didn't know any strats or anything -- in fact I wasn't even in the beta so I had no ability to play the game at all! -- but the casts were entertaining and hilarious. I actually looked forward to the next Husky cast coming out because they are genuinely entertaining. If not for Husky getting me into the game, I never would have paid to watch GSL, I never would have paid a guy to coach me, I never would have spent money to sign up for local tournaments in Calgary, I never would have watched a ton of pro streams and VODs. etc. I no longer watch Husky casts but I will always give him credit for kindling my initial interest. And I bet there are literally tens of thousands like me. And the video is pretty funny imo. Edit: facial hair not such a good idea Husky! | ||

Not really so much to know what Husky makes, but just to know what someone with 400k+ subs makes in general. Regardless that man has earned it. Take this video for example, and bane-lings for that matter. Husky is pumping out very, very high quality material and is excellent at co-ordinating with other talented people. Getting together with Layne Pavoni, Kurt Hugo Schneider, getting a lambo, a pro-editor etc... That is just smart business, and he deserves every penny he has made. Husky and HD are a huge part of why there are so many other casters out there: They see the success, and they want to make their own casts. Therefore the casts, and the music videos are amazing for the Starcraft 2 community. More attention/views leads to more monetizing, leads to more pros, events, sponsors, etc. In the end, the Starcraft 2 and Esports fan wins because they get more high quality content to enjoy, as more money gets pumped in. I want to see more songs and more music videos, and when the first Nerd Alert album hits, I'm buying it. If some of that money goes into Husky's pocket, good for him. I will say that, I hope SCV Love Song is the only slow jam. I recommend that Husky take his time making each song to ensure that it is catchy and fun. | ||

The video and song is homophobic. But freedom of speech means the voice of the minority must be protected, even if what they say or do is wrong. Moreover the video seems to be a 'joke' or just 'a bit of fun'... but sadly that always seem to be the rationale in excusing such behaviour. Its very juvenile, but that is exactly the target audience it is aiming at. So in that sense its a winner. Being called a 'fag' constantly on battle.net is a daily occurrence. It is also littered throughout the starcraft community on forums and chat rooms alike. Its a very sad indication that our societies are still so ignorant and intolerant towards their fellow human beings. Professional players using such language don't help either. There's no other professional sport in the world which would tolerate such behaviour. But somehow in esports its accepted as norm. For esports to be taken seriously at the highest level a serious change in thinking has to occur. As a Google/YouTube partner, in the top 10 partners for Czech Republic region, I can tell you that you don't actually make that much money from it. Moreover making money from someone else's copyrighted materials could also be seen as plagiarism. But I am unsure what agreements and or arrangements have been given from Blizzard for people to create revenues from their content. having worked in the games industry at a high level I would suggest that allowing casters to make adshare revenues is worth it for the exposure they give to the game. Just my two pence. <Insert hate after tag line> | ||
