Answer: Don't think he have done it yet on GSPA Myth 2: Husky shouts a lot when co-casting. Answer: Actually, Day9 fills that rôle, as far as I can tell. Myth 3: Husky talks all of the time. Answer: In GSPA it's Day9 60% and Husky 40% AND Husky often gives Day9 questions which allow some in-depth exploration. And yes, I (as do 500 000 other subscribers) like Husky's solo casting as well, this is going to be great. That is all. EDIT: adressed some myths and fixed some spelling errors You forgot the "He doesnt know what he talks about".. oh ... I guess that one was true., | ||

Bring in Khaldor.. or Doa or even Moletrap.. but please don't bring in Husky for the love of god please don't.. Please think about all the spectators who aren't in platinum or lower. edit - They only replaced Tastosis with Husky is because they want 500k bronze league scrub zero knowledge casuals tuning in. I mean if you going to bring him in just because of how many subscribers he has.. you may aswell bring in RayWilliamJohnson or Nigahiga.. they have 4m+ subscribers and could do the same job as Husky.. edit #2 - look at this game between july vs delphi that husky casted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23WUWOWPloU) just watch it.. he doesn't know what the golden mouse is and on top of that he doesn't understand whats happening during the game.. He doesn't know the players and looks them up to find out about them.. not realising that most pro gamers don't play the ladder for practice but rather have practice partners and in house games.. he doesn't even realise that ladder rank means nothing.. Im not sure how a guy who has zero, and i mean zero knowledge of the game gets 500k subscribers.. i really have no idea.. I was looking foward to this MLG since Columbus was so epic, this totally ruined my day.. ffs. | ||

Expect Husky to scream alot about trivial things, expect him to hide his deficiencies in a shroud of exxagerations, etc. This is anything but good news except for the laymen of starcraft 2. In the words of John Locke, there are higher goods and lower goods in life. Higher goods is the satisfaction of the mind, achievements, understanding something, lower goods is having a nice burger, etc. Listening to Huk once you've begun appreciating the intricacies of starcraft 2 as the most complex and skillful game on the planet completely destroys those intricacies. He doesn't add value to the game, he sugars it up with cheesy jokes, often targeted at himself. Do we need a comedian in the E-SPORTS industry? Perhaps, to make it grow, perhaps it's entertaining, but at the end of the day, when we sit there introspecting, what do we admire/appreciate the most about starcraft 2 casting? The yapping and shouting about trivial things we can see with our own eyes, or the brief explanation/commentary of the complex delicate mindgames/plays of the most amazing and competitive players in the world? | ||

He does know what he's talking about - What people don't realize is - if you don't play a LOT you won't know all the builds. Artosis and Tasteless - even the almighty Day9- often make some huge mistakes about the builds they identify. You can't really blame them because they are busy with a lot of other things including casting. Husky makes mistakes like every single caster on Earth. However, he is entertaining and knows enough about the game to be generally right most of the time. | ||

Husky is the kind of caster who avoids predictions altogether other than maybe vague predictions in beggining so as to avoid 'mistakes'. I don't need a caster who strolls on by a commentary by avoiding predictions, I don't mind incorrect predictions of the basis of the predictions are correct and rational. Not to mention Husky has a poor knowledge of the history of players, their stories, etc. Husky is synonymous with an empty bottle, it makes a lot of sound, but there's no substance. | ||

Vague predictions in the beginning? Nothing really happens in the beginning unless someone cheeses. He's pretty solid from what I've seen actually - It doesn't sound like you've listened to much of Husky's casting. He's not always consistent in every cast, but nobody really is. Overall he's pretty good and actually makes some solid predictions in most cases. Regardless, I don't think any of this is really objective. Husky has a huge amount of fans and people love his casting in general, so it's smart for MLG to bring him on. From what I know - they have tried to get him to come to EVERY MLG but he's been busy recently with his website and various production. If you don't like him, well that's unfortunate, but I love him. He's the reason I got into SC2 in the first place, and I still prefer him over casters like Day 9 or DJWheat. Not everyone is gonna love the guy, but I'm really glad he's gonna be there. | ||

Seriously guys, how childlike can you be, also bad mannered and hateful. Can't you support someone over your silly obsessions? | ||

He is good for scrub casuals because they don't understand the game..I enjoyed watching husky when I first played the game, but after few weeks when I understood the game dynamics; I quickly learned that the guy has absolutely no clue what he is talking about, and his casts became quite painful to watch. Husky thinks shouting MOTHERRR SHIPPPPPPP for 5mins straight makes up for his lack of knowledge, well guess what husky.. it doesn't. Edit ~ Also all the people defending Husky are casuals who will never reach high level master.. and if they did they would stop defending him. | ||

I started off a Husky fan but have progressively migrated away as I turned closer to the "source" of the games - I was more interested in the in-tournament games rather than the random replays. It really had less to do with his style and more to do with where the fun games were being played. It's really not necessary to be "high masters" or whatever to cast (or watch!) a good broadcast of an SC2 stream, just like it's not necessary to have started for a college football team to enjoy watching the NFL. People have just become spoiled by Artosis. The guy is incredibly knowledgeable, hilariously funny, and good on the mic. But that isn't reason to hate on everyone else. The hate is just sad. | ||

Can't you support someone over your silly obsessions? It is perfectly normal to be critical of things you don't like, especially when you're passionate about something. For many, myself included, Husky and Gretorp are not informative, humorous, intelligent, or particularly talented. It's obviously completely subjective but it's totally acceptable to be critical of what you love as long as you don't resort to juvenile bashing and name-calling. Looking forward to hearing Bitter (LIVE woohoo!) and enjoying some amazing games in Anaheim. | ||

Are you actually trying to say that fans of E-sports that doesn't sit around and play Starcraft 2 all day until they are grand masters are worth less than the people that do?... So a question, are you an idiot for real or are you just trying to look cool while implying that you're in "high level masters"? Because i must inform you that at this point you're just looking like an idiot while failing at impressing anyone. On July 25 2011 14:16 Mobious1 wrote: Haha so no one is watching the Blue stream. Yes, the stream featuring the guy which YouTube channel has over half a million SC2 fans will be empty, obviously right? *facepalm* | ||

Well Husky only tends to people who are new to the game, where as someone like Artosis tends to everyone. By the way judging by your post your not master league. gg kid. | ||
