Yo MLG, let me fix your casting problem for you: Whenever Tastosis are available, get 'em. They're just the best of the best. Whenever they aren't, do this: You have Day9, DjWheat (who I personally don't like and wouldn't mind seeing replaced, but w/e) and itmeJP. At all times one of these is casting on both streams with one pro as co-caster who doesn't have to play at the moment. This is certainly doable with a minimal amount of organization and leaves enough room for breaks for everyone, as at any given point of time one will not have to commentate. Also, this is the best way to avoid pissing fans off. I don't want to start flaming here, but I just can't stand Husky and won't be able to listen to the Blue Stream

This is certainly true, and I will try to not miss DRG games for example, BUT casters can ruin the experience to a very annoying extent. You can hardly deny that. For me that means that I will watch these games muted.

Are you implying that someone that likes Husky is less of a fan than you just because you can't stand him? Because that would be pretty retarded.

No. You won't be able to listen to the Blue Stream, or you don't want to? If, on Day 3, you can truly say that Husky's casting leaves you unable to process and enjoy Starcraft, then, you can say you won't be able to listen to him. Right now, your just being prejudice from his informal YouTube casting, or whatever preconceived judgement you have made of him. He may not be your favourite caster, or even one you particularly enjoy, but I think you can survive his voice. If not, my humblest apologies.

Day9 and wheat are my casting dream team. I like Husky and Bitter, so for me it's all cool.
Looking forward to DRG vs TLO <3

Yes, I know that he is casting with Mr Bitter and not Day9, but it was meant as a showcase of "modern" Husky co-commentating (if he was co-commentating a tournament with Mr. Bitter then I would of course use that as an example instead), to show that he has indeed improved hugely.
How am I suppose to address the perceived problem if I can't use GSPA as an example?

I don't at all disagree with you. I love the casting line-ups that MLG put together given that Tastosis was unavailable. It appeared that you were attacking the Husky naysayers by using GSPA as an example of how well Day9 and Husky do together, and saying that they will continue to do well together at MLG.
100% in agreement. Just making sure that you weren't confused

No, and I have no clue how you read that out of my post. Whoever likes Husky can watch him as much as he pleases, but he is not nearly a universally accepted caster like Day9 or Tastosis.

Let's take the TSL. I was really hindered in enjoying the games casted by Husky, how good they may have been in themselves, So I think I have some right to believe that he hasn't improved THAT much by then. And it is actually especially his voice that is annoying, not only the low casting niveau.

Thank you, I apologize if my tone was rude.
Anyways: I hope MLG will be a great success, as it was last time and both the blue and the red stream will be both of great quality in every way and appreciated by the community.
(I can understand if people prefer another caster instead of Husky, each man to his own, but I can't understand that people wont even consider trying listening to him, since he is trying hard to improve, before he even has chance to demonstrate his abilities.
I like the idea of Mr. Bitter casting too, really liked his 12 weeks with the pros. I wont judge him beforehand but I have feeling he will do well)

I would love for someone to tell me one reason why Husky is a bad caster and would make the blue stream "unwatchable". He has a good casting voice, and does play by play fine! I seriously cannot understand some of the hate you guys have for him.
|
NOO im going to be out of town for this MLG D:
|
Goddamn it. Husky is casting. No blue stream for me ;_;, forever red
Day[9] and Wheat is good
For the blue please get Gretorp/painuser/incontrol to replace husky. I cant f-in stand him.
|
Husky is fine. I will enjoy the casting and appreciate the variety of casters.
Also just got an MLG membership to support esports.

Hope MVP wins it all. I want him to come bask as when he was Emperor of SC2 himself.
I think that's how it goes, anyways.
and maybe #2 place will be DRG and he will go to code S.

I'm not sure who MrBitter is but Husky is a mediocre caster at best. Still, he has a large fanbase so this may turn out for the better for ESPORTS.

I play that sound clip when I'm feeling a bit saucy, honestly. It's hot.

Hey MLG don't put spoilers everywhere on your site again this time.
|
Have the pools for Anaheim been announced?
|
CANT WAIT FOR THIS!!!!!!!
Hoping to meet a lot of you there . Interacting with fans is my favorite part of any live event so please make sure to say hi!

And it's this weekend, right?
You may live in the bowels of Europe, but you should know where Anaheim is, and what time zone that subsequently is.
