Let me restate this. If it was not for youtube casters, SC2 would not be as popular in the western world as it is. Simple, the competitive scene would again be only based in Korea, and it would be a shitty scene at that since most koreans still watch BW.

And as for the DaggothReborn, lol at no one watches husky and HD when their most recent videos all have more viewers then the most viewed GSL / NASL / IPL / TSL3 VODs.

I don't watch them anymore, but most casual followers do. And those are the people that will ultimately dictate if SC2 will make it mainstream or not. So we should all be basically thanking the heavens for youtubers or there would be no way leagues like NASL could exist.

Take note of the picture on page 7. This is the first time in history that IdrA has smiled.

Interesting article, I hope to see more like it in the future!

The only viewers that watch HD and Husky, specially Husky are the gold leaguers and below players, or the extremely casual players, like team-game chumps and players that spend their time playing custom games and still trying to beat the campaign.

That being said, those players are NOT the ones supporting E-sports nor SC2, those players watch the ocassional cast and are still trying to beat a 6 pool in the ladder on their daily 4v4s, they are NOT the ones that pay for a season in the GSL or NASL, nor the ones helping balance the game by playing at the highest level (600+ masters), therefore your comment is completely wrong.

Having THE BEST NA player ever, being flamed by gold leagues that watch casters for noobs like Husky, IS NOT a good trade-off. Regardless, IdrA doesn't care, nor anyone that matters, the only players that get offended by IdrA or are in this Anti-BM-IdrA crusade are exactly those same noobs that watch Husky, which leads me to believe you are one of them.

I'm not that surprised though. I don't mean to offend anyone, I've got offers on the table to study physics next year, but us physicists are probably the most easy to stereotype nerds and its not a big step to imagine Idra applying to study physics.

He's right when he says his bm slightly blown out of proportion. I think a lot of people can respect him for speaking his mind, personally I would trust somebodies opinion more if they always spoke their mind instead of never wanting to hurt anybodies feeling (not that that's bad, a happy medium is probably best).

My problem with Idra is sometimes he speaks his mind unnecessary. if you're answering questions about other players then its fine to speak your mind about them, but he sometimes just insults people during interviews when its not really related to the question. I can't think of when it was, but there was some interview on stage at MLG Dallas where he insulted Huk before he'd even been asked about him, and its not the only time he's done something like that.
