Don't judge him on those awful music videos he does because those seem to be more about helping his friends who are amateur artists trying to get noticed and aren't really what he is about as a caster.
He lives locally in LA, was going to attend MLG regardless, and if he announces his attending MLG to his stream this would be a huge boon to MLG and this makes for a great decision all around.
Day9 on the other hand is the caster I will be muting. I've tried to give him a chance...I really have... But he just comes off as just being way too amateurish and self-important. The cheesy crowd rallies he led at the last MLG were awful. He babbles and takes 4 sentences to state what can be said in one. He's goes into a 'drama-queen/school girl' persona where he tries to sell a situation that doesn't need selling. He then exaggerates his vocal inflections which is a total distraction from the cast. Then his build predictions at the beginning (perhaps what everybody feels makes him such an expert) always seem off. 'XYZ is building that stargate for that Void Ray'...oops...out pops the phoenix.
Artosis/Tastless are ok... Tastless was a disaster to start when casting GOM and has gotten a lot better while Artosis has regressed somewhat (he goes into a sarcastic/exaggerated banter with Tasteless that is sooo annoying). When Artosis is calm and not trying to be very funny he is a very good caster and would have been an asset casting MLG.
Hey McDonalds is very popular too...

I'm sure husky will do a great job keeping the audience interested and giving the play-by-play. However just like husky Mr. Bitter doesn't really seem all that knowledgable, don't think there is much to gain in the blue stream over the red stream.

All play and no Tastosis makes me a sad panda.

I bet you didnt even hear him cast once. He definately knows more about the Game then the other Casters including Day9. Dont get me wrong, I like all of them and I think the pairing is pretty good, but what you are saying is simply not true.
|
Sounds like a very solid play-by-play/analysis mix with 2 well-established casters. Mr Bitter has great knowledge and proved that with his NASL guest-casting, Husky is the most popular play-by-play in the business with boundless enthusiasm and energy. On paper it's an excellent pairing.

Meh, on Mr. Bitter casting, Husky should do great! I have it the other way around.. Mr Bitter sounds pleasant and knowledgeable.. Husky sounds like a wimpy douchebag.
I can tell by your language, there is some hate for Husky. If I remember correctly, Bitter was the guy on NASL with Zerg QQ tears all cast long, talk about professionalism.

Good of MLG to pair Husky with Mr.Bitter for the secondary stream. That's the way it should be. A color commentator with an analyst.

It's good you said, he doesn't really 'seem' all that knowledgeable -- he doesn't look the part? -- anyway, you should go watch his stream or some of his casts and then make a more informed comment.

I really enjoyed Mr Bitters commentary in the NASL except when he shows his extreme zerg bias and whines about imbalance. He would make a good pairing with husky.

Husky and Bitter casting together should be good, husky is entertaining and bitter is analytical

Well, guess I'll be muting blue stream whenever I switch over there.
It sucks that Tastosis can't be everywhere at once lol

No one should expect Husky to drop the knowledge in his casts.
The reason why people love him, and the reason why he has 500,000 subscribers (for a STARCRAFT II E-SPORT CHANNEL!) is because he puts a lot of energy and enthusiasm in his casts.
The whole debate on whether he's a good caster or not reminds me of the scrutiny mainstream science fiction writers get for being too mainstream and not actually scientifically accurate.
I think people need to remember the Mystery Science Theater 3000 opening:
If you're wondering how he eats and breathes, and other scientific facts, then repeat to yourself: "it's just a show, I really should relax."

Probably the worst post ever on the topic of casters. So basically you want someone who is not funny, who doesn't in any way attempt to explain anything about the strategical side of this strategy game and doesn't get excited about the game?
I guess that explains why you like Husky, although he is just as guilty of squeeling like a school girl for no reason.
Here in the real world I find having a caster who doesn't really know anything about the game to be a bad thing, but what do I know, I like Artosis?

I really liked Husky in the beta, and left for greener pastures when I saw Day9, Tastosis, etc. Maybe 3 months ago, I couldn't stand his casts because he would always go off ranting about irrelevant tangents, but he's really fixed that now, so I think he's solid again. Haven't seen much from MrBitter, I watched him a tiny bit and thought his sc2 knowledge was kinda meh, but I only watched him briefly so I'll reserve judgment until after Anaheim xD

Mr Bitter knows a lot about Zerg the matchups not involving Zerg not so much. However, he knows 100 times more about all races than Husky does.

I dislike Husky for the following reasons:
- Lack of analysis/predictions/reasoning
- Calling out the obvious every 10 seconds
- Lack of background knowledge of players
With that being said, Husky will be able to attract a bunch of non-traditional starcraft viewers, so it will benefit the esports scene in general?
I actually think idra should commentate lol

Husky is not that good at dual casting. Please let him cast by himself.

Cheap? then you must be lucky, it cost quite a bit here compared to other standard food.
