In a recent interview Husky said that he thought TLO was the best player in the world.. I mean seriously.. does MLG actually expect us to listen to this guy? 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'm actually grandmaster on NA and EU, thanks. You're making yourself look like an idiot by making generalizations and assumptions. Husky is a really fun caster to listen to. Not everyone is gonna like every caster - but I love Husky, and he has a huge fan base. He was at the first MLG for SC2 and that was a really special event. I'm so glad he's at this MLG as well. He's actually a top diamond player, so those of you who think everyone knows more than him are just wrong. He says a lot of crazy stuff unrelated to the game but it's hilarious most of the time (to me and the hundreds of thousands of subscribers at least- if you don't well then don't listen to him, but you're in the minority). | ||

I guess the decision fits MLGs plans, seeing as they generally tend to the casual side with the console games and now even LoL. But I will never pay for the stream as long as they don't provide the best casters possible. And no, I haven't paid yet, regarding the failure that was Dallas, but I thought about it since Columbus. But I decided to wait for the announcement of the casters, lucky me. And again: Everybody who wants to can enjoy him on youtube, I'm cool with that and would never say "there is no place for him in this community". | ||

Maybe some just hate in irrational fashion, but my point is that husky is objectively (!) in important points (game knowledge, for instance) an inferior caster, and for me personally to such an amount that he hinders my ability to enjoy games he's casting, especially with his annoying way of speaking.

The thing is, you can't just say - "My opinion is objective and yours is subjective" - because then you're saying that everyone else is wrong but they are just fanboys. The whole idea of liking one caster over another is purely subjective. By the way I don't really understand why LoL is considered a casual game. The fact that it's free and has 10 X more people playing it than SC2 doesn't necessarily make it casual. Like I said, I love husky - I'm really glad he's going to be there. For those of you trashing him and saying he doesn't have talent or game knowledge, it's just not true. You're making yourselves look like idiots. He's not grandmasters, so he's not as good at the game as some other casters, but neither are Artosis, Tasteless, DJWheat, or ItmeJP. As for his commentary, it's a different style than a lot of other casters - you don't have to love it, but it's subjective. Not everyone will agree on this. The fact that people are even suggesting that there is objectivity to the "best caster" argument is absurd. | ||

Well, I wouldn't have put it that way, but he's essentially right.^^ You probably don't get what objective and subjective means. Also, no, those facts named by you don't make LoL casual. The gameplay does. | ||

Also, no, those facts named by you don't make LoL casual. The gameplay does. I don't understand how it's casual because of the gameplay. I play both games, and I'm closer to SC2 pro level than LoL pro level - and I spend more time playing LoL. Artosis and Tasteless aren't any more professionals than Husky - he casts live events and has a youtube channel. As far as we know, his following is more than that of any other caster. He makes his living off of Starcraft 2. It sounds like you actually don't know the difference between subjective and objective. Saying that he doesn't know what he's talking about or that his analysis isn't "good" doesn't make it objective. Even if every single team liquid member said they hated Husky and that he didn't know anything would not make it objective. When the argument is basically "I don't like this guy because ... " even if you have valid reasons, it's still subjective. It's your opinion. | ||

Husky actually goes into the game when others don't. He doesn't just say random bs but actually analyzes the playstyles and focuses on what the players actually want to do and is often times right. Of course he is no tastosis but these guys are being paid for a good reason So why are people saying "Husky is so bad at the game" when this is just wrong? I guess it comes from all the master league players that think they are on pro level and have to hate what some other pro hates, too. I'm totally fine with Husky. What bothers me more is MrBitter, but thats just personal preference. | ||

By the way judging by your post your not master league. gg kid. The irony of you calling me "kid" is baffling. And if we're gonna start putting each other in leagues just by judging each other's posts then you'd be forever bronze my friend. I like how some people actually use what league they're in (or trying to get us to think they're in) as a way to strengthen their argument, like as if would make them better then other SC2/E-sports fans that ain't as high up. Ridiculous. | ||

Everything zerg does is brilliant while every terran and toss player is cheesy. Sadly, this.Last time i listened to one of his casts anyway. Maybe he has improved, hope he did, otherwise i will just put the stream hes casting on the second monitor muted, problem solved | ||
