Not sure I understand the Husky hate... There is a reason he has 516,000 subscribers and averages 10X the viewers that Day9 does for his casts...he's very good. Yes, he is goofy, but that is a good thing and he is a lot more intelligent than people give him credit for. 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.
-.- This goes against almost everything I believe in. To put it into simpler terms
Paragraph 1: Husky is really awesome and 10x more kick ass than Day[9].
Paragraph 2: I hate Day[9]; he has too much enthusiasm for something he cares a lot about and is a total drama queen. Also he has no game knowledge.
Paragraph 3: The most loved casting duo is "ok."
So Day[9] is too energetic and Artosis has too many jokes? I'm sorry, and no hate to Husky, but those are the two distinguishing characteristics of Husky himself. You wonder about the Husky hate and go on to bash one of the prominent community members; i just don't agree.

For those of you who haven't seen Mr. Bitter cast at all, I think you'll actually be pleasantly surprised. He's no Day[9] but for an relatively inexperienced caster he is very well spoken and fairly knowledgeable. I think the Husky/Mr. Bitter combo could be really awesome if they work well together.

I don't agree with his opinions, but at least he explained his thoughts in a civil manner and gave legitimate reasons for why he likes Husky and dislikes Day[9] and Tasteless/Artosis, which whether you agree with his opinions or not, is more then what can be said for many of the Husky haters.

Start at 7:10 AM for me, so much better than Columbus.
|
Kinda cool I don't have to switch between red and blue now. Let's see Tasteless and Artosis come back! 
|
I bet most people bashing Husky in this thread haven't heard him cast for at least 3 monts,his development as a caster is amazing and he has done a great job at the various tournaments he's been (TSL 3, that Geforce thing with Day9). He's not making silly obvious mistakes,his play-by-play analysis is top notch, and he gives his co-caster a lot of air time,so that the other guy can do his analysis at the game. I've only watched Mr Bitter during his NASL week and I think he did ok. I;m surprised by all the people saying he was biased towards Zerg,the only thing I saw him do was seeing the game more from a Zerg perspective,but that's understandable since he's a Zerg player himself.

Epic matches are epic, and Husky casting is gonna be awesome. All this Husky hate is getting real old.
|
To think that just a few months ago MrBitter was that guy with the coaching show. He's come a long way in such a short period of time.
Husky has been online exclusive for a very long time, and even though I'm not a big fan it's still great to see him back in a live setting, considering the amount of work he puts every day into casting.
|
MrBitter is a solid caster, he did great w/ NASL. He'll be a good addition to MLG.
|
I guess I'll give Husky another chance but this kinda dimmed down the tourney for me and made me less excited. I used to LOVE husky beta times but then when release came out and got into TheGameStation he really REALLY lost his touch. It felt like he wasn't making an effort anymore, and saw it more as a "chore" than a hobbie. Yes I am a husky "Hater" but i'll give him another shot. BUT husky fans seem like Justin Bieber fans to me TBH.
|
Well im gonna mute my stream cuz Husky and Mr Bitter are probably my least favorite casters in sc2......
Im suprised that more ppl wanna see MMA vs Drewbie then TLO vs DRG......
Maybe DRG is still unknown to the MLG crowd or is it cuz Drewbie is a NA player?
|
i will see matches not casters 
|
no tastosis?
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
|
I hope Husky dares to be himself. In the last couple of casts he has done with Day9 in the Pro/am tourney he's really plain and downright boring, and when you have very little analytical competence, your enthusiasm and humor should be present, imo.
They hired you Husky, give em what you got! Mr.Bitter is a fine choice.
Can't wait for Anaheim!

Those were two separate polls for two separate timeslots.

only 10 more days!!! woohoo!
|
DongRaeGu vs TLO will be the most one sided game of all time.
Stats wise TvZ is TLO's worst matchup
You know about DongRaeGu's ZvT...
TLO hasn't been playing much recently cause of his hand.
...
|
This is going to be so fucking amazing. Can't wait, Husky/Bitter combination sounds awesome, hope JP makes some appearances too since he is just so baller. Schedule is going to be epic. Liquid hwaiting!
|
Bitter casting MLG is gonna be awesome. Especially if he can resist the urge to drop sarcastic imba comments like he did during the NASL. Otherwise his commentary in the NASL was spot-on (and a vast improvement over Gretorp's bumbling). Since he plays Zerg, his analysis will obviously be stronger when dealing with Z matchups, but I'm really looking forward to this.
GO BITTER!
|
Fridays games are going to be absolutely incredible. Idra vs Boxer! Huk and Naniwa! I hope this will be as big as Columbus.
|
LOL @ Husky Haters.
Husky doesn't pretend to be gosu SC2, but he loves the game and the scene and it comes across in his casts. People need to stop acting too-cool-for-school about who's commentating-- it's a VIDEO GAME TOURNAMENT, we're all nerds, and we should just appreciate the great competition we're going to see. The fact that people like Day[9] and Husky and others take the time and effort to devote their lives to commentating is just icing on the cake.
Stoked for MLG ;-D
(To clarify: I highly doubt MLG cares about the opinions of two or three elitist pricks from Scandinavia. If a few holier-than-thou jerks have to mute their streams because Husky isn't GM in Korea, that is mostly irrelevant compared to the massive exposure they will get when Husky publicizes the event on his stream. Therefore, he's an awesome choice for commentating, and is good for ESPORTS overall.)
