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.)

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.

I have problems with knowledgeable, dynamic, enthusiastic and professional casters too. They just completely ruin the game. *sarcasm

Seriously you are just whining about qualities that make casters great. I wish you would be muted too.

Ahhh I can't believe people want to watch Drewbie get destroyed by MMA.

MrBitter casting is excellent. I greatly enjoyed his presence on NASL and will be looking forward to listening to him on MLG.

for those wondering why HD isn't casting, its because he's playing.
