MLG Anaheim is just around the corner; are you ready? Columbus was a milestone in the history of competitive gaming. The live experience, the streams, and the tournament itself were better than they've ever been—but we aren't stopping there. MLG Anaheim is going to be even better.
The Streams
If you got yourself either a Silver or Gold League Membership, then you'll have full access to ad-free HQ streams all throughout the tournament, as well as immediate access to HQ tournament VoD. VoD will be uploaded as the tournament progresses, and you can view it right in the live player on our site during the Event. And if you haven't purchased one yet, what are you waiting for?
There will once again be two StarCraft 2 streams, and one stream each for Halo: Reach and Call of Duty: Black Ops. For three solid days, the streams will be brought to you by the now-legendary Streamworks satellite truck.
The Commentators
The veteran commentating team of Chris Puckett, Gandhi and Shockwave will be providing their expertise on the Halo stream, and Corey Dunn and Josh Parker will be returning in style on the Call of Duty: Black Ops stream. Over on the StarCraft 2 side of things, we are once again blessed to have the inimitable duo of Day[9] and DJ Wheat on the Red stream. Artosis and Tasteless are unfortunately unable to make Anaheim because of scheduling conflicts, but we've got you covered: the Blue stream will feature casting by none other than Husky and Mr. Bitter. Husky made his MLG debut in Raleigh last year, and we’re very happy to have him back. This will be Mr Bitter’s first MLG; welcome to the family!
Here's the winners of the vote we held:
DongRaeGu vs. TLO, with 46% of the vote
MMA vs. Drewbie, with 49% of the vote
Moonan vs. MVP, with 39% of the vote

I really hope it will be easy to watch vods, since the time difference is so big to Sweden I'll have to catch the games the day after.
|
First days games look amazing. IDRA FIGHTING!!!!!!
|
|
|
So much hype for this! I cannot wait!!!
|
Idra v.Boxer yields to Naniwa vs. HuK? Foreign legends they may be, but Its still PvP 
|
I think if Husky does all the play-by-play and Mr. Bitter does all the analysis, this could be a great pairing.
|
Love the stacked broadcast schedule! Every game on the red stream friday looks amazing.
Probably going to have to put the blue stream on mute though.... I cannot stand Husky!
|

? I don't understand. I believe we will see them both. If you mean that one comes before the other... that's just how the schedule worked out.
|
Surprising that two of the three matches, that were voted on are TvTs. I hope they don't go as onesided as they look.
|
So many Koreans here. Man DRG and MMA might just sweep the floor here.

Both are shown lol - Read.. :D
Nice news about Husky and Mr.Bitter, should be a good combination with good play by play and nice analytic commentator.
Husky doesn't get the credit he deserves. He brings/brought in a lot of people to the SC2 community.
|
|
|
I hope that the Husky/MrBitter casting will be good. I have faith that those two guys will perform well on the Blue stream. So hard to replace Tastosis lol...
|
<3 husky, very energetic, fun and improved a lot his knowledge. He did great in the TSL. It is a good decision to pair him with an analytical caster like Mr. Bitter.
Friday
Red Stream
5:30 PM - 6:30 PM Pool Play - Naniwa vs. Huk
Blue Stream
5:30 PM - 6:30 PM Pool Play - Community Vote Winner: DongRaeGu vs. TLO
How dare you ask me to choose between those matches! : )
|
That is a pretty awesome schedule for day 1. HuK vs Naniwa rematch, Idra and Boxer, LOTS of DonRaeGu, and get to see how Selects beastly TvT holds up vs one of the best.
|
You guys should try one caster + player caster rotation, kinda like Homestory Cup had. Seeing the different players and listening to their input was pretty refreshing - just look at what happened when MC casted with TotalBiscuit that one time!
Next MLG I'd say Tastosis on one stream and Day9/Random guests in another. You know Day could pull it off. In case you're worried can always have Day/Wheat/guest too
|
Not really so happy about the Husky mrBitter casting... Dunno, maybe we'll be surprised. Never really heard mrBitter casting, and never ever been a big Husky fan
|
|
|
OH MY GOD
Select vs MVP
Huk vs DRG
anaheim gonna be epic
|
Bitter and Husky are great casters, hope they do well as a team.
|
Husky has learned a lot from his old casting to now. I think he'll do a great job.
Stoked to see MMA. Actually stoked to see everyone. Really good players here
|
I really like Mr Bitter, it's nice to have someone who's done so much for the community get rewarded. He's a really good caster, too.
|
As mentioned in the other thread, I'm also not fond of Husky's casting, but I guess there must have been trouble in acquiring a more suited caster such as DOA or the like, so I shall not comment on it further.
I'm going to have to think long and hard on whether I want to watch NaNiWa vs DongRaeGue or Moonan vs MVP. I'm more a fan of MVP and Moonan is surprisingly good at times, but the former match seems like a clash of the titans.
It's a shame that the blue stream has more games that I'm interested in, which will most likely be muted.
|
|
|
I don't know how I feel about a schedule like this for a Starcraft Tournament. What will happen on stream if the games are either well under the allotted time or well over? I guess it may be possible to watch replays of notable games from the open/lower bracket, but if matches go over that could cause a lot of trouble.
|
The games on the red stream look amazing for Friday!
But that doesn't mean I will not have both streams open. ;D
|
Maybe Mr. Bitter will complain less about how underpowered zerg is and his commentary will be watchable. -.- Husky should be energetic.
|
The red stream looks great. Can't wait to see all the games broadcasted on it.
|
*orgasm*
'O.O' so excited.
|
Love husky, but i'm really excited to have Mr. Bitter casting along side with him  I expect it to be a great duo
|
Wow, grats to Mr. Bitter!
I will be checking out this schedule in depth later and making sure not to miss the best matches!
|
Do people not remember being pleasantly surprised by the casting by husky last mlg? I was certainly one of those people after having a very negative view of him for a long time.
I can't speak for his youtube channel, but his professional event casting is ready dignified and not nearly as goofy/obnoxious. There is no way that we'll get tastosis, so let's just roll with it
|
DRG to Code S.
Make it happen MLG.
|
My expected favorite matches of Day 1:
Naniwa vs. Huk
Idra vs. Boxer
Naniwa vs. DongRaeGu
Select vs. MVP (on both streams)
Idra vs. InControl
Huk vs. DongRaeGu
|
omg so many epic games.
I hope MLG will let me watch Red while casting blue!
|
This is great news for MrBitter!
I'm happy he's getting this opportunity, I think he deserves it. He does a great, great job as an analytical commentator. His interviews are excellent as well - maybe he'll get a chance to do some.
|
Yessss Mr. Bitters!
This is gonna be good!
|
|
|
Love Husky, hate MrBitter. :/
|
excited for the tournament!! might have to watch on mute though.
|
Blue stream sucks, Red stream all the way in terms of casters + games, can't wait!
|
I hope my internet will be able to handle the stream this time around. So many awesome matches. Really sucks to live in a town that's bandwidth capped. 
|
scumbag mlg: invite most famous pro gamer in the world, only one game broadcasted
jokes aside I would have preferred if we got to see more boxer games on day one. Way too much huk/ naniwa imo.
|
I'll be giving Teevox a good workout over this event. So many good games omg
|
Didn't MLG Sundance message TotalBiscuit on Twitter a few months ago regarding having him come over to Columbus, Ohio to cast the (at the time) upcoming MLG there?
What happened to those plans? Did MLG not manage to sort out TotalBiscuit's visa issues which were (according to his post on TL) a gigantic mindfuck as it is or would they plan to introduce him in a later MLG event?
As for the current selection of casters:
Day[9] and djWHEAT is of course pretty good considering how passionately both feel about the game and the fact that Sean Plott is to many, a walking, talking Starcraft encyclopedia and djWHEAT is a good broadcaster and one who cares a lot about his work.
Husky and MrBitter.... I'm not so sure. Husky is surprisingly good but he seems more like he's trying to appeal mainly to the popular crowd whilst sacrificing in-depth analysis, whereas MrBitter is an odd choice for caster at a major event, considering his only huge achievement has been a web series where he recieves coaching sessions from pros and they go through their aspects of gameplay (12 Weeks With The Pros and The Next 12 Weeks.)
Put it this way, it's hardly the Tastosis we saw last time. Plus on MLG Columbus, I found the red and blue stream system didn't really work well, with both streams iirc showing the same thing.
|
what timezone is this? the local time? which means it's getting even later for europe right?
|
Do you have HQ stream with ads if you don't pay or do you have to pay to not have 240p stream with ads like in Dallas? :&

Sundance is still working on it. He's got a friend in Immigration apparently. He tweeted about it a little while ago.

I'm pumped. Husky did a fantastic job in TSL 3 and I loved Mr. Bitter on NASL. Looking forward to MLG like always!
|
Happy about Bitter, Husky I'm less pleased about. I'll be staying on the Red stream most of the weekend. Except for DRG vs TLO. That'll be a good one.

Interesting to see all the votes included Korean players. They have definitely caught the attention of the majority of foreign spectators.
|
Damn, I really wanted to see tastosis in person, too
|
Glad to see Husky back at MLG. He has improved very much since last time and really deserves it. I think it is unreasonable to expect Tasteless and Artosis at ever MLG
|
What is the timezone for those times shown?
|
KEEP MR. BITTER AWAY FROM CASTING ZERG!
Other than that, looking forward to it!
|
Awww no tastetosis, Khaldor, Totalbiscuit, or Husky/HD ;;
Also, what's up with the selected matches? TLO/Dongraegu over Haypro/TLO? MMA/Drewbie over Sheth/Sjow? MVP/Moonan over MVP/Kiwikaki? Really guys Guess people just really want to see the Koreans get some practice.
Idra vs. Boxer will probably be the match of the day for Friday. "Hi Grack" teehehehe
|
Great! But im not gonna lie, i will miss Tastosis this MLG, even tho i know they can't make it.

Would like someone other than Husky. meh

Husky is a really good caster. I don't really get the hate.
... that is all.

Meh, California is 9h behind germany, that is gonna make for a pretty messed up sleep schedule. But still really looking forward to this event. I have witnessed so many horrible MLGs (WoW), I am really curious if they will finally be able to deliver on a constant basis and Columbus was not just a 'fluke'.
I like some diversity in casters, I think MrBitter and Husky are a very decent choice.

No Tastosis I don't think many people are happy about Husky/MrBitter...

What a let down with Husky/Mr.Bitter replacing Tastosis. Thank god for Day9/djWHEAT, at least I can watch one stream.

Even if u dont like Husky for some reason. Give Mr.Bitter a Chance. He did a pretty good Job in his 12 Weeks with the Pros Series which was in my opinion much more helpful then all of Day[9]'s Dailys together. Also his casting at NASL was pretty good.

NOT a fan of mr bitter. he talks to highly of zerg players throughout the match. Every thing they do is AMAZING. At least I will be there to watch whatever i want :D

If he doesn't drink coffee before casting, maybe...he's ok. If he's in his hyperactive stimpack mode, it's instamute.
Plus there's MrBitter.

Cool, now thanks to Husky I do not have to worry about choosing stream to watch.
|
omg.......i just had an heat attack
HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hmm. the fact that the first match is PvP makes me want to hurl
|
I think Husky did quite well in TSL3, and i've always enjoyed MrBitter.
Husky as shoutcaster and MrBitter as analyst - could work nicely, looking forward to finding out
|
schedule looks great and i love mr bitter! ;-)
im not so sure about husky...
but one funny guy and one guy for analysis is a decent combo. lets see.
btw, i hope mr wünsch is getting back in shape :-)
|
Husky did great in TSL3, I expect him to do well with Mr. Bitter to, who knows his stuff. Anaheim is going to be awesome!
|
Tastosis will never be truly replacable, however I'm actually even more happy to have Husky and Mr.Bitter just for a change ... and because they are actually really good at this. Mr.Bitter was brilliant in NASL, no-one would disagree (even though he annoyed me with the terran op qq I still thought he was one of the best analytical casters ever). And from now on if any stupid nerd who thinks he's super special because of hating husky posts in this thread I'm gonna slap him in the face xD. Disliking a caster is one thing, talking shit just because he is famous is retarded ...
|
Husky and Bitter casting? lol...
At least it won't be hard to decide which stream to watch!
|
The news of Mr Bitter casting a big event make me happy.
|
Husky = Tons of views for MLG. So good call by them.

Holy hell, a full night of Idra and DRG!!!! Can't wait. Kind of needed news like this today!!
|
Kinda really disappointed in the caster choices.. Replays it is.
|
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 cannot believe you're saying this. He's amateurish and self-important? What the hell? He honestly has done so much for the community he deserves the attention and support. And please, his effort into his analysis of the game is so much better than that of most ppl. Yah, he tries to sell it sometimes, but that's on stage. When you're hosting an SC2 event live, you'd be expected not to just drone on and on. Honestly, I can't see how your points make sense with the exception of his exaggeration.
|
All the hipster nerds diss Husky
But honestly Husky + Mr Bitter should be an awesome combo. Husky has the energy and MrBitter's casting was awesome in NASL.
|
I love Mr Bitter and Husky is fun to watch too (perfect gateway caster for the missus trying to learn Starcraft) - good caster choices, looking forward to it

I don't think you watched a lot of the tournament besides the final day. Most of the time on Day 1 and 2, the streams showed different games except during breaks for one of the set of casters. On the last day there was a lot more of the streams showing the same games, but there were also less games going on. The double streams definitely worked nicely.

Meh, on Mr. Bitter casting, Husky should do great!

Im pretty stoked for this upcoming MLG, Its going to be the best one yet!

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.

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.

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.
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.

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."

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.

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.
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.

-.- 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!

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.)
|
I wish they'd replace djwheat. I'm not a fan, and I think he rides on day9's coattails. Sad not to see Tastosis but the guys can't be expected to spend half their time on the plane.
|
I'll wait to say anything on the Husky/Bitter duo, but damn I really enjoyed Tastosis at Columbus
|
I don't get the Husky hate around here. He's very entertaining. Not very insightful, specially compared to Tastosis, but this is a show. If you want to be entertained, Husky rules. If you want the precise analisis of what's going on, that's fine too, just not Husky's forte.
Personally, I'm excited.

Lets be honest here okay. Casting are like the icing on the cake okay. When you have bad icing it can ruin the whole cake agreed? Example is how Artosis is SO great at hyping players up which makes the match exciting! Plus comparing Day9 and husky is stupid! one actually does analytical casting for the community and 1 is a youtube "exciting" caster. my 2 cents on it yo
|
for those wondering why HD isn't casting, its because he's playing.
|
Sounds sweet! MrBitter's casting during the NASL was extremely informed and entertaining, and I really enjoy listening to his voice! His knowledge paired with Husky's personality should be a pleasure to watch/listen to!
Don't listen to the haters guys, I have a feeling that you're gonna do great!
Edit: Holy crap, I can't find a single game that I don't want to watch on the red stream on Friday.
|
Glad to see Husky being re-invited and Mr Bitter also deserves a good casting gig as well. Shame I'll probably never even see them cast together because that Red Stream schedule is insane.

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

Should be great, but I'm torn in between Idra and boxer.... my two favorite players....
|
As long as husky doesn't start going too much analysis (Mr.Bitter's domain) and sticks with the color commentary, this could be quite the duo. Except perhaps... HUSKY AND TOTABISCUIT DUALCASTING OH SNAP
|
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.

To each his own. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to listening commentary. What makes one casting pair great for one person could do the opposite for someone else.

No. Drewbie will conquer. He will defeat SlayerS_M.
Is that an utterly deluded fiction that's not going to happen? Hell yes. Is that going to stop me from watching it with imaginary storylines going on in my head? Oh, hell no.
I'm also very interested how the TLO/DRG match will go, after TLO (offracing as Protoss) eliminated DRG in the MSL Semifinals, only to lose to sAviOr. The sting remains for DRG. Perhaps he can get revenge for so great a humiliation.

I don't mind Husky and Mr. Bitter casting in general... it's just too bad that they're the substitutes for Tastosis. That automatically stinks
I'm sure they'll do a great job, nonetheless

MrBitter is awesome! I wonder how he will fit in with Husky though, but Bitter is a great surprise. All the haters, try watching him in the NASL with his renowed casting.

Awesome, I always enjoy mrBitter's casting and I think he'd go great with Husky.

Meh, I'm not really hyped so far. I don't like Husky and barely know MrBitter, but I'm willing to give them a chance.
What I'm more disappointed about is the large number of Koreans on day 1. The last rounds will have nothing but Koreans anyway, why not give some splotlight to the foreigners? This way we will most likely see Koreans slaughtering white guys in almost every game. Not very entertaining, in my opinion.

Oh dear god, those day 1 games. I am so hyped for Anaheim.

Ugh hate the phrase spoiled by Tastosis... They're a great casting team but honestly I prefer Day [9] and DJ Wheat or even Chill partnered with one of those two. At least those three can stay on topic unlike Tastosis.
Just my opinion, don't flame me all you GSL fans.

Why, shortly after Combat-EX took down Bisu in the quarterfinals, only to lose to sAviOr 3-2. Close set, but sAviOr cannon rushed him last game. Ooh, was Combat-EX pissed, given his preference for a macro style.
I thought that particular MSL was legendary on a site like TL.

On paper it's an excellent pairing. Yeah this is how I still feel. I'll look forward to Day9 for his energy and play by play and Mr Bitter for his very intelligent commentary.

I'll spoil it for you right now. Unless you buy the membership or whatever, there's going to be commercials.

Too bad we don't have Tastosis. But it's great we have DayJ and DJWheat.

Friday
Red Stream
5:30 PM - 6:30 PM Pool Play - Naniwa vs. Huk
Blue Stream
5:30 PM - 6:30 PM Pool Play - Community Vote Winner: DongRaeGu vs. TLO
How dare you ask me to choose between those matches! : )
Who said anything about choosing????
|
I think I'm gonna be watching a lot of DongRaeGu games. All of his look interesting to me and don't conflict with any others I'd wanna watch. Awesome!

Awww no tastetosis, Khaldor, Totalbiscuit, or Husky/HD ;;
Also, what's up with the selected matches? TLO/Dongraegu over Haypro/TLO? MMA/Drewbie over Sheth/Sjow? MVP/Moonan over MVP/Kiwikaki? Really guys Guess people just really want to see the Koreans get some practice.
Idra vs. Boxer will probably be the match of the day for Friday. "Hi Grack" teehehehe
Would be funny to see Boxer type "What's grackalackin?"

Way to focus on the important stuff. I know when I'm watching an NBA game I'm uber concerned with who is calling it.
Oh wait...
|
Really nice to see Mr.Bitter casting some bigger tournaments! Ever since his casting in NASL I have been waiting for more. Honestly I prefer him over day[9].
|
Are there still extended series'?? Someone answer i really hope they got rid of that.
|
Mr. Bitter is actually good. Finally a caster that can speak authoritatively on zerg without being plain wrong on everything lol

Meh, I'm not really hyped so far. I don't like Husky and barely know MrBitter, but I'm willing to give them a chance.
What I'm more disappointed about is the large number of Koreans on day 1. The last rounds will have nothing but Koreans anyway, why not give some splotlight to the foreigners? This way we will most likely see Koreans slaughtering white guys in almost every game. Not very entertaining, in my opinion.
Well since the 3 matches that were voted on were all matchups with koreans, obviously a lot of people want to watch koreans.

Nice for MrBitter to be casting MLG though I think there are better casters out there.
Also I'm not a Husky fan, I like the more analytical commentators over the casual ones but I think it's good to have Husky there as he's more towards the casual type of casting and that speaks out to the mainstream public
|
Its right around the corner cant wait
|
ahhhh yes! Fucking love Husky very fun commentator. And for people who try and say "he dosent know anything" I have to say, if you already know it and he isnt saying it why is it needed for him to point it out?
|
GL Husky I beleive you will do a billiontimes better then last MLG you casted.
And i dont see Mrbitter being bad at comentating along side husky. GL

Maybe Mr. Bitter will complain less about how underpowered zerg is and his commentary will be watchable. -.- Husky should be energetic.
I'm concerned about the same thing. Mr. Bitter is quite aptly named. I've never seen such biased casting as his. It's a real shame too, because he is really quite good at it. I think he has more natural aptitude than Husky, though he lacks his enthusiasm and likeability (IMO). Still, it's totally ruined when he treats every zerg as a tragic hero, every zerg loss as a travesty that was unavoidable due to zerg being by FAR the worst, and every zerg victory as some magnificent feat that players of other races simply are not capable of.
|
GODDM'T MLG IF MY SUBSCRIPTION DOESN'T BUY ME TIMELY VODS I AM GOING TO BE PISSED
|
Guess I wont be turning on the blue stream then. To bad, I would have liked to see how Mr.Bitter does.
|
Can't wait for Idra vs. InControl!
|
Wow, scrolling through the red stream I couldn't find a single match-up I didn't want to see. Curse you crazy time zones!
|
I think it's a decent replacement of Tastosis. The energetic style of Husky should work well with the analytical style of MrBitter and they are both quite good in their respective domain. I'm still probably going to tune in for the most part to Day9 and Wheat but I'm definitely not going to ignore the other stream as well
|
yaaaay husky! I actually think he's my favorite caster (after day9) because he's able to just make the game seem so much more chill. I think he's also done a lot of work on his analysis so he can accurately cast games.
|
I'm not sure how much I'm looking forward to Mr.Bitter casting just because I've never actually seen his casts.
I'm excited to see how the Korean invites do this time around.
|
plz foreigners. ra ra win
|
Wow, it's harder than ever to decide which stream to have the volume on, think I gotta watch HuK, Drewbie, then HuK again personally tho. Canada Fighting!
(Altho if Naniwa takes you down this time HuK no worries, you'll come back in the finals again <3)
|
I wanted to see Mr.Bitter
nice nice nice
|
I will not watch a single game casted by Husky/Mr. Bitter. I have absolutely no idea why anyone with any understanding about the game at all would. Mr. Bitter is like a drier version of Gretorp and Husky could be replaced by a button that makes a generic screaming sound. I could not possibly be more disappointed with these caster choices. Would literally have preferred unknowns.

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.)
If he loved the game and the scene why does he need to be involved in the event to give it publicity? If he loves the game and the scene why doesnt he ever promote anything about the players he casts and makes money from?

by your logic tastosis and pretty much everyone doesn't like starcraft 2....

Mr. Bitter and Husky
It's sad that tastosis can't make it, but they should be a great replacement. I really like the energy Husky brings to his casting, even if his analysis is a little lower level.
Oh, and IdrA missed the epic opening match by 1 slot, too bad. An IdrA vs Boxer opener would rival the last IdrA vs MC one I'm sure. A pvp opener is a shame, even if it is between two of the best.
|
Well please bring tastosis back for the next one... if no conflicts.
Husky and mr. bitter not looking forward to it... i know more about the game then both of them.
|
i dont understand all the hate towards Mr bitter and husky - people are writing them off without even giving them a chance. They have the potential to work really well together with their complementary styles of play by play and analytical casting. Only thing that Mr bitter needs to work on is his zerg bias. I hate it when he says things like "this zerg really stands no chance if the protoss takes a 3rd base"
|
Psyched for this, got my leave form in for the 1st of August so I can see the finals live instead of having to spend the day at work trying to avoid spoilers.

makes me happy in my pants

Awesome to see Mr.Bitter get back into casting, I loved his appearances on NASL and hopefully him and Husky will be good team.
GOOO MLG!
|
Im not a fan of both of them Why it takes so long to get khaldor.
At least better than HD... eh
|
Dang... what is up with that first day? Did they orcastrate such perfect match ups or what :D
|
Like both of them this will be great =)
Oh but in line with the negative spirit of the thread, i'd just say that i'd still prefer 2gd over them anyday ( or over any other caster/esport host/personality)
but seriously.. great lineups ( both playesr and casters wise)
|
I like Mr. Bitter. I think he is good caster. But with Mr. Bitter and Husky casting... who is going to be the insight caster?
Mr.Bitter will try to analyze while Husky shouts over him, exaclty what we see.
Meh... Columbus got Tastosis and in Anaheim i get Husky/Mr.Bitter ?... =(.
Cant stand huskys casting, and his constant interrupting of his cocaster just to yell something that we are all seeing.
I guess when they show these two as the mainstage caster that will be my day where i do more wandering/checking out other events.
This is kinda lame imo, but that is just me. I am just not a fan of Husky's casting "style".
meh the more i think about it... coulda been worse.. we couldve had TotalBiscuit. in which case i just simply wouldnt have attended a day he casted mainstage, would rather have watched online stream of other casters from somewhere chill.
speaking of Chill... i wish HE was casting. I thought he was awsome in TSL...as long as he was in the game. =).
|
don't be too zerg biased MrBitter :D
|
Not excited about Husky, should have gotten a more analytic caster like TotalBiscuit.
|
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. The time difference is kinda huge for me this time. But I took the day of on Monday and maybe I can catch everything live . Gold member, so I can watch the VODS later anyway.
Husky/Mr. Bitter will be interesting. But I was watching Day[9]Wheat over Tastosis last MLG finals, I will probably stick with those 2 again. Maybe it will be 70%/30% now.
Thank you MLG!
|
Husky for the play by play and mr Bitter for the analyses, that could work really well yes.
I'm quite happy to see tournaments giving a chance to other casters as well, how much as I love Tastosis, they are just 2 people and can't cast everywhere all the time.
|
Mr Bitter HWAIITING!
Seriously, one of the best casters out there - his knowledge is right up there with Wolf. He might be a little Zerg-biased, but nobody's perfect :p
|
So happy MrBitter is casting.
he is actually one of the best casters I have ever seen, I remember watching him through the NASL regular season and wondering who he was.. So analytical and articulate in his observations. he will be great for MLG Anaheim.
|
"6:30 PM - 7:30 PM Pool Play - Idra vs. Boxer"
And I jizzed in my pants.
|
Can you purchase a spectator ticket at the venue the day of the event?
is the time list EST of PST??
|
HOLY SHIT.
HUK VS DONGRAEGU ?
OMG, MOST EPIC PVZ EVER MUCH >=]
|
Please, put the timezone on the schedule guys. It is so confusing ... don't forget that MLG will be watched from all over the world.
|
The red stream games are a lot better than the community vote games :o
|
red stream all the day then
|
Looks like I won't watch a single game on stream Blue then.

Some callers actually do make the NBA more/less enjoyable to watch for me :/... Not that its going to matter with this lockout T.T
But for MLG i dont really care.. For me casters always fall under 2 categories: Tastosis and not Tastosis.. Regardless of who it is, if its the latter i would have preferred Tastosis, but it wont stop me watching.

Drewbie vs MMA featured? ... why? Drewbie's going to get obliterated...

Husky has improved quite a bit over the year but I still have a hard time tolerating his monotone voice. It's just straining to the ears.

Nice, Mr.Bitter! His calm and analytic style of casting should go great with Huskys 10k WPM. Let's hope he leaves his hate for Protoss at home tho...
|
Ugh DRG vs TLO and MMA vs Drewbie -.- 2 beatdowns. Shame, MVP vs Kiwi and Ret vs Socke will be a lot closer matches.

I better find a good excuses to take a day off from office to watch this :D

Husky and Bitter sounds like an interesting combination. Both of them are decent casters online, casting a live event I think would really make a difference.

wow i can't wait for it gonna be so awesome, i mean srsly the lineup THE LINEUP, just sad that tastosis can't make it there, bu t husky and mr.bitter replace them good.

Guess I am only watching Red stream

i think husky and bitter are gonna be a good couple , hyped for this mlg !!!

It's a shame Naniwa keeps drawing the Korean Zergs and Protoss every event, when vT is his best matchup. Hopefully he'll be able to test himself against MMA, MVP or Boxer in the Championship bracket instead.

The schedule means nothing without a time zone.
And it's this weekend, right?
|
Came to SC2 with Husky/HD in beta, will always be a fan. Mr.Bitter was really good in the NASL shows. I might watch them as often as Day[9] and DJWheat.
All voted matchups will be total stomps, so... But always nice to have the choice
So much SC to watch and so little time

To each their own. I despise Day9 and djWHEAT as a casting duo, even if I really really like them as members of the community. It's good to offer a variety of casters.

very happy with the choices! hope for good games and a foreigner winning it!
|
guess i know what stream I'm not watching
|
I look forward to watching the Blue Stream and having a completely open mind towards the casters and then judging this duo from there. Luckily I will be dual-screening so all should go wonderfully. ^_^
|
Cannot wait for this, missus is going to the city so GET IN THERE, MLG weekend for me!!! Wohooo lol.
Come on Nani and HuK!!!!
|
Its going to be great to have have another MLG. I hope you do as well as last time. Just one thing, who came up with Husky and Mr... who? Ive never even heard of him.. to replace Tastosis when they couldnt show up. Would have been nice with some player thats not participating or something. Anything but Husky is good for n event like this.
|
Initial lineup looks like it has some pretty awesome matches in there. Dunno about Husky and Mr. Bitter though... who knows, hope they pull it off.
|
sounds good, although I'll give a try for another Zerg-involved cast of mr bitter. If it doesnt change, I'll switch channel. Both are the same? Then I'll watch LoL lol xD

Mr Bitter is fairly well known in the american scene now. He came to prominence mainly through a show he ran called 12 weeks with the pros, where every week he would get a different player on the show to coach him and talk through their strategies, pick their brains etc. It's been a great learning tool for many of us noobs, and it's also helped expand his game knowledge to the point that he's a very competent and informative caster. I guess his only weakness is that he speaks a little too strongly from a zerg point of view.
|
can naniwa crush DRG thats the question!
|
Really like MrBitter! And Husky is very good as commentator paired with another more analytic commentator, very good MLG
|
Looking forward to this.
One thing about the OP, which I see alot of times in schedules here:
Can you please put in some dates as well as the day-names?
It's usually not hard for me to find out, which weekend an event is, but it's still anoying that it's not in the OP.
|
husky and mrbitter? ............................................. disappointing
|
Bitter is ok, but Husky... -_-
But It'll be an awesome event anyways, can't wait !
|
Since i usually bitch about commentators, i'll say something positive for once. Mr. Bitter is awesome and will make this MLG actually listenable.
|
mr. bitter? FUCK YEAH :D looking forward to see this
|
I'm not too sure about Husky. I hope Mr.Bitter carries the casting well.

Don't forget that it was Mr. Bitter who actively pushed infestor play into the scene (he didn't invent it, but he spread the word) even before the change. He saw potential where everyone just saw a useless caster unit. => Thread
Mr. Bitter has great insight into the game and i think his style will compliment Husky very well.

Not sure if it will compliment Husky, but MrBitter's casting is awesome. He's so calm and relaxed. Will be interesting how Husky + MrBitter come out, since they are like the exact opposites.
I still hope D9 relaxes a bit on his yelling and goes for a bit deeper casts, casts which I've sorely missed.

Why... Husky isn't even that good at casting if you ask me. There are better people that could cast and that know more about the game.

That's why they are paired together rather than Husky with Wheat.....not that that would ever happen since Day9 is there.

Husky is doing great paired with Day9 on GSPA, haven't you all noticed? Or maybe you didn't watch it.
Myth 1: Husky interrupts his co-caster.
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.

I really hate having horrible internet so I can't stream Red + Blue for the hard to pick matches. I hated having to choose last time T_T

Lets go Drewbie take down MMA on the big stage!!
And nice to have Mr Bitters he is a good caster.

I thought Sean wasn't coming... sigh of relief

God talk about heart palpitations incoming..
We have BIG Diabo 3 news coming between 27th july to 1st august. I think an NDA until 1st but a meeting of sorts/beta announce on the 27th.
We have MLG on this same weekend.. with DRG omg say no more! but I will say more anyway, I fucken love this guy in GSTL with his lil zergling dance intro and utterly destroying entire teams single handedly!
And the GSL finals on the same weekend too!!!!!!!!!
|
Love Husky's Play-by-Play should be fun, and I have always been fan of MrBitter since 12 weeks, something about his voice is so awesome! :D. Hope this MLG is off the charts!
|
I fucking LOVE MLG WEEKENDS!!!!!! This is going to be freaking awesome. I dont even care if they had two monkeys and a rat casting it. The games themselfs will be enough to make it a succsess!
|
Husky's ok but personally I don't like Mr Bitter, he seems so..bitter and biased but I'll still give him a chance to impress me. Day9 and djWHEAT are awesome though
Oh and Naniwa fighting!
|
the votes really pissed me off: I believe ret vs someone decent was on there as well, yet people would rather see a most likely one sided game. why?!?
|
husky is good, he really improved before TSL3!
but personally, i hate MrBitter's superbiased commentary. in literally every comment he makes, there's that small undertone of balance whine.
but yeah, looking forward to watching the MLG weekend, it's going to be a blast!

"We" want to watch some koreans I hope this MrBitter dude is good caster

Ret vs Socke, would've been good No offense to Drewbie, but MMA is just going to mop the floor with him. Same with DRG vs TLO(where we could've had Kiwi vs MVP, which atleast would be closer).

Husky on one stream and Day9 on the other? Looks like I will have MLG muted this time.

Prejudice galore.
Let's just see how it's actually gonna play out before we start judging a possible event in the future.
There's a lot of valid criticism but even for those I feel those have more than likely already been taking into account as feedback for their next casts so who knows what kind of improvements will come from that.
Add onto that the ability of a lot of people but mostly themselves to prepare their casting or try to have it follow along a certain guideline and I'm sure it will be more than fine.
Husky can add excitement very well, his weak point would be going on a ramble but that's where Mr. Bitter steps in. Always calm and collective, focused mostly on the strategy, odds, incentives etc which he has a lot of good accurate insight into.
Has he been a bit biased in the past so much that it was detrimental to the quality of his casting? If we listen to the majority then hell yeah. He must be aware of that and in the TL Open casts he stated that he thought casting was very fun but he had a lot to learn because he was just getting started with it.
Do I think he can take the feedback in well and use it to make his casting very good? I really think he will, he has shown us how much and to what extend he can improve in playing the game.
Drop the prejudice and don't watch the cast already on tilt and bracing for possible annoyances. Doing that will only allow them to actually become annoying should it happen (and you notice it) and lower your overall entertainment.
You don't know how they will cast it. To play into some common complaints, maybe Day[9] will have a robot voice, Husky will be on slow mode, Wheat got nasal surgery and Mr.Sweet is starring the new Captain Positive comic.
You don't know what's behind you until you turn around.
Once you do, judge all you want but be fair and constructive.
And pray to Elly the ESPORTS elephant, for she is our one and only deity!

Wow that's half of that mlg gone out the window. No way in hell am i watching Husky cast lmfao.

You forgot the part about him having the most annoying voice known to man, how do you suggest we fix that? Exactly, replace him.

Husky gets way too much hate here.
I'll be the first to admit that he's not really my first choice. But he isn't bad, and far from as terrible as people are making him out to be.
Certainly not as bad as, say, Gretorp.
|
husky? what the hell they should invite thebeard instead or some other casters but not him ( i find his voice very irritating and my ears gets tired very quickly just by listening him )
|
Husky's got the enthusiasm and experience to provide great play-by-play, and from what i've heard from mr. bitter on nasl casts is pretty good. Any pairing that doesn't include gretorp is a win in my books.
|
Glad to see Bitters casting at MLG. Don't know about Husky but i guess he can flood the streams with even more viewers. The more the merrier!

Darn, there goes half my MLG too! No way am I watching if "Aelip" isn't going to be watching....
Haha come on guy, get over it an watch the games. Husky isn't that bad. Certainly not bad enough to keep a true fan of the PLAYERS from watch them PLAY. And even if you think he's so unbearable...who cares? Why bother announcing it? It's totally childish to blurt out that you'll boycott due to a caster 'lmfao'
|
They better not mess up DRG :|
I hope Huk kills him so he can get back to Korea and practice for the next Code A
|
Happy they invited Husky. It's been awhile since I've heard his casts.
And it's MLG. You're not analyzing all the itme, you're SHOUTCASTING, which Husky does well.
mmmm, I love my dual monitor setup lol.
|
I usually mute annoying casters but I'm going to be there live, no mute button IRL. I guess shouting isn't so bad in a live atmosphere, its more about the energy than analysis.
|
Why do people need to bitch about the casting? I'm here for the games, the commentary is merely icing on the incredibly delicious cake that is this selection of matches. People act like casting is why they watch Starcraft, I just don't get it.
Husky/Bitter will be great, Husky was impressive in TSL3 even though I hadn't liked his youtube stuff I saw in the past. Even if they don't end up working so well together, its really not that big of a deal.
|
watch the other stream jeesus.
|
Glad Husky gets a chance to cast !! Hopefully the spitefull voices saying he`s not MLG material will simmer down now.

Or you can hope DRG demolishes everyone, wins the tournament, and gets put directly into Code S.
Personally I'd prefer the latter.

He has a very good chance of getting Code A... like... VERY good. Many foreigners won't accept Code A spots (or even Code S in some cases) and he is a very strong player who is capable of winning the whole thing. Really if he just gets first in his group, he will very likely get Code A right then with all the people who might get that far and not accept Code A, but even if he doesn't he could still advance to win it easily.

From this MLG onwards, winner gets Code S (any nationality), 2-4 Code A (if not korean)

Completely looking forward to the first day matches. Naniwa vs Huk followed by Idra vs Boxer and a taste of Day9/Wheat epicness mixed in :D
|
Looking forward to it! Kinda sad that Tastosis isnt there but husky and mrbitter are still enjoyable i think
|
Good to see MrBitter casting more; he's been a great asset to the SC2 community and also makes a great analytical caster, so happy to see him doing big things like NASL and MLG.
|
Is MLG staff going to force husky in some decent clothing and do his hair... because everytime i see that guy its like he just came from bed. And if i remember correctly in Raleigh he was sitting there in a hoody while all other casters were wearing something more suitable.
|
YES, Husky casting! This is going to be so fun to watch, though I wish he was selected to cast the Red Stream.
|
As much as I previously haven't wanted a Korean to win, I want DRG or MMA to win to get into Code S ^_^
|
Normally I wouldn't post here, but I want to show some Husky love... I deeply enjoyed his casts in TSL

I really like Husky. I hope he does a sick job. It would be even better if Tastosis could cast a few games too.
|
Despite all the shit he gets, I think Husky does a fine job as a commentator. He completely makes up for his lack of game knowledge (which isn't that bad, come on now trolls) with his enthusiasm. Plus I love how much he sets up for Day9 on GSPA.
|
Husky casting, big disappointment to hear this. I have never listened to caster who constantly makes so many mistakes. Calls most battles incorrectly, terrible general game knowledge. His play by play is ok, but who cares when half the stuff he says is just flat out incorrect.
|
Naniwa vs. Huk COMEBACK TIME! Go Nani, your going to smash him!! Watch out for DT's and you'll win.
|
By the direction of this thread, apparently people care more about the casters than the games. Seems like some people have their priorities mixed up - I watch MLG for the games, not the casters.
Not to say I don't have my favourite casters (and less favourite), but it's nothing to get worked up about. The games on the other hand - oh boy. Lots of exciting matchups. Can't wait for Idra v Boxer!

I thought Mr. Bitter was awesome in the NASL. Great caster - happy that he's doing other events. Thoughtful, polite, and I like his accent.

This man speaks truth.
casters are a nice addition to the games. Shoot, I'm just happy that we have 2 caster teams!!! There are so many games that go on at MLG, and it's great to have some variety (and also time time for the casters to meet the people). I'm lookin' forward to it c:

The Emperor is coming to the US.
DRG, one of the most exciting players we have seen in SC2 is entering the first tournament that will have a large international following.
HuK is coming to his first foreigner tournament since winning Dreamhack and Homestory Cup.
Naniwa will enter his last international tournament, possibly for a long time.
Mvp is here, MMA is here. Top tier Koreans Terrans coming into a scene where Terrans have been underperforming vs Zerg.
Did I mention freaking SlayerS'Boxer is coming?
...
And yet people want to complain about casters? Especially when you can always choose between two sets? Really?
Parts of this community confuse and confound me.

idra vs boxer
mma vs slush
select vs mvp
idra vs incontrol

I feel like people also mistakenly assume that djWHEAT and Day9 are universally loved as casters. I for one CANNOT STAND THEM. I hate listening to them cast, it is so grating and annoying, and I find Day9 to be a bit of an annoying charlatan. I like them as members of the community, but everyone has different taste when it comes to casters.

Very true, I really hope all the caster haters can stop whining soon and use their energy to say something positive about the gamers instead.

Bitter casting!
Though the news is a bit diluted because of his co-caster... Beggars can't be choosers though right?

Seems like some people are a little bitter about the casting choices

Yo MLG, let me fix your casting problem for you:
Whenever Tastosis are available, get 'em. They're just the best of the best.
Whenever they aren't, do this: You have Day9, DjWheat (who I personally don't like and wouldn't mind seeing replaced, but w/e) and itmeJP. At all times one of these is casting on both streams with one pro as co-caster who doesn't have to play at the moment. This is certainly doable with a minimal amount of organization and leaves enough room for breaks for everyone, as at any given point of time one will not have to commentate.
Also, this is the best way to avoid pissing fans off. I don't want to start flaming here, but I just can't stand Husky and won't be able to listen to the Blue Stream

This is certainly true, and I will try to not miss DRG games for example, BUT casters can ruin the experience to a very annoying extent. You can hardly deny that. For me that means that I will watch these games muted.

Are you implying that someone that likes Husky is less of a fan than you just because you can't stand him? Because that would be pretty retarded.

The best way to avoid pissing off fans is to remove a popular caster after it has been announced that he will be casting. No. You won't be able to listen to the Blue Stream, or you don't want to? If, on Day 3, you can truly say that Husky's casting leaves you unable to process and enjoy Starcraft, then, you can say you won't be able to listen to him. Right now, your just being prejudice from his informal YouTube casting, or whatever preconceived judgement you have made of him. He may not be your favourite caster, or even one you particularly enjoy, but I think you can survive his voice. If not, my humblest apologies.

Day9 and wheat are my casting dream team. I like Husky and Bitter, so for me it's all cool.
Looking forward to DRG vs TLO <3

I don't at all disagree with you. I love the casting line-ups that MLG put together given that Tastosis was unavailable. It appeared that you were attacking the Husky naysayers by using GSPA as an example of how well Day9 and Husky do together, and saying that they will continue to do well together at MLG.
100% in agreement. Just making sure that you weren't confused

No, and I have no clue how you read that out of my post. Whoever likes Husky can watch him as much as he pleases, but he is not nearly a universally accepted caster like Day9 or Tastosis.

Let's take the TSL. I was really hindered in enjoying the games casted by Husky, how good they may have been in themselves, So I think I have some right to believe that he hasn't improved THAT much by then. And it is actually especially his voice that is annoying, not only the low casting niveau.

Thank you, I apologize if my tone was rude.
Anyways: I hope MLG will be a great success, as it was last time and both the blue and the red stream will be both of great quality in every way and appreciated by the community.
(I can understand if people prefer another caster instead of Husky, each man to his own, but I can't understand that people wont even consider trying listening to him, since he is trying hard to improve, before he even has chance to demonstrate his abilities.
I like the idea of Mr. Bitter casting too, really liked his 12 weeks with the pros. I wont judge him beforehand but I have feeling he will do well)
|
I would love for someone to tell me one reason why Husky is a bad caster and would make the blue stream "unwatchable". He has a good casting voice, and does play by play fine! I seriously cannot understand some of the hate you guys have for him.
|
NOO im going to be out of town for this MLG D:
|
Goddamn it. Husky is casting. No blue stream for me ;_;, forever red
Day[9] and Wheat is good
For the blue please get Gretorp/painuser/incontrol to replace husky. I cant f-in stand him.
|
Husky is fine. I will enjoy the casting and appreciate the variety of casters.
Also just got an MLG membership to support esports.

Hope MVP wins it all. I want him to come bask as when he was Emperor of SC2 himself.
I think that's how it goes, anyways.
and maybe #2 place will be DRG and he will go to code S.

I'm not sure who MrBitter is but Husky is a mediocre caster at best. Still, he has a large fanbase so this may turn out for the better for ESPORTS.

Agreed! IGN has been very good about that so far. I had to leave before the IdrA vs. Drewbie match finished, and I was panicked that I would find the result before I could get the the VOD. Luckily they didn't spoil anything on the main pages. Even more surprising in their case since the games were pre-recorded long ago.
I'd like to see MLG do the same for at least the main pages.

I'm happy for Husky to cast MLG again. Guy deserves way more credit than he gets.

Relating to OP, this should be sick, hopefully not all koreans in ro4, but I'd rather have the best players in the world in tourneys than NA only. MMA! MMA! MMA!

I actually enjoyed Bitter's short time on NASL. Will be looking forward to him casting MLG.

i have to say: this mlg's koreans are much more relative to my interests.

djWHEAT is the best all-round commentator out there. Put an expert of a game next to him and he makes the duo sound awesome - doesn't matter if it's CS, Quake, StarCraft or any other game.

If I buy a Silver membership on July the 28th, will I get access to the HQ stream for Anaheim, Raleigh and Orlando, all for only $10? Seems like a great deal.
|

Annoying.

I'm pretty excited for some of the matches posted here. It looks to be a wonderful tournament. Let's hope it turns out as awesome as Columbus was!

Not gonna lie, I do love me some Husky!

Well they used to have delicious fries going for them but they changed those so now they don't even have that.

Husky is entertaining at times.
No experience with Mr Bitter yet.
Tastosis made Columbus for me.
I hope Anaheim to take it one step over.
Can't wait for DRG is own up some foreigners.
|
The appreciation for Mr.Bitter and Husky seems to lie on the whole spectrum.
Personally i think they might make a great team, just wait and find out i guess.
|
I'd much rather have Husky than incontrol or some of the other pro commentators. They are better at playing then commentating.
|
So glad to see mrBitter casting MLG! Did a great job in NASL, should be casting full time!
|
I'm totally happy that I spent the money on the Gold Pass. While Tastosis will obviously be missed I don't think that their absence will diminish the quality of the presentation greatly. I'll be waking up early for these (Australia).
|
So many good players are going to be at MLG damn. Can't wait to see of DRG will perform. Lets hope the whole event will be full of incredible and entertaining games!

Your post is really confusing and hard to read. I also assume it is made up and you just invented this "statistic teacher" to lend authority to your argument.
That said, I personally love McDonald's... I think Wendy's is better, but McDonald's has more variety. Burger King is just garbage. Jack in the Box has terrible burgers IMO, but their tacos, eggrolls, and miscellaneous things are awesome.
|
yay! I Like husky as a caster lol.
|
I love Mr. Bitter!
Not a fan of Husky, but hopefully Mr. Bitter can bring him up. Anyone that hasn't heard Mr. Bitter cast NEEDS TO DO SO.
He shows his personal race bias a little, but he's also self aware about that, so it's not really a problem.
He's a great caster with a LOT of knowledge and a soothing voice. (Complete opposite of Husky in terms of casting styles tbh.... I wonder how well this will work.)
|
To bad Tastosis couldnt make it, but on the other hand Im extremely happy to have Husky casting.
I do think that Husky's way of casting appeals more to the more casual players out there, players that enjoy watching a sc2 match with that drop of humor that imo husky does provide.
Ofcourse if you want a "professionaly" casted game with all the indepth analysis, less talk around more facts and numbers, you can watch day9.
Ill be most likely switching streams every now. Going day9 if I want to really learn and exactly follow the game. And going Husky if I want a more chilly experience.
|
I like what Mr.Bitter and Husky has done for the community, but I really can't stand their commentary. Gogo Naniwer, and rip MLG up again!
|
This is supposed to be good news?
|
YEAH Husky is the BEST!!!!!!
|
No tastosis, but Husky/Bitter is better than nothing by a long shot. Looking forward to some great games

Husky is doing great paired with Day9 on GSPA, haven't you all noticed? Or maybe you didn't watch it.
Myth 1: Husky interrupts his co-caster.
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.,

I don't want to sound harsh, but cmon why pick husky? the guy hasn't got a clue when it comes to pro gaming scene and really doesn't understand the builds.. ive watched some of his youtube casts and I often find myself grimacing because how poor his knowledge of the sc2 scene is.. not only the scene but the high level game play..
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.
|
first time im going to see husky cast live, this is going to be interesting maybe he will pull it off.. HOPE SO CANT FCKING WAIT FOR MLG
|
bitter is ok, he's very honest in his criticism, and he knows more about what he's talking about so his criticisms has merits.
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?

Husky is amazing - He's not a bronze player so please stop saying that. He's actually high diamond last time I checked - That's better than Wheat or Totalbiscuit -
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.

It is one thing to make mistakes about predictions, that's fine, everyone makes those. 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.

So, Husky is the new Gretorp this time?
Seriously guys, how childlike can you be, also bad mannered and hateful. Can't you support someone over your silly obsessions?
|
The fact is he doesn't know anything about the game.. even my 7 year old brother knows more than husky, my 7 year old brother knows the pro scene and all the top korean teams and players, and has a good understanding of the opening builds and the B/O poker that takes place in first few mins of a game.. 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've watched every season of GSL, and I'm excited for the Husky stream. =)
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.

I guess I have to file a vacation leave to be able to watch all the games on Day 3 of MLG.

Can't wait for MLG weekend, gonna get some friends together to come over and watch on a 55 inch xD

Haha so no one is watching the Blue stream. Idra vs Boxer will be Epic

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.

I really like Husky, he has great passion and seems like just a well round and loveable guy Mr Bitter is awesome aswell, this can turn out great ^^

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.

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).

All the people here talking about haters and supporting casters just don't get it. 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.
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".

I can totally understand if not everyone loves Husky. 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.

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. your an idiot for putting husky in the same sentence as artosis and tasteless, your comparing a casual commentator to professional commentators.. 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.
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.

I don't get why people say Husky doesn't know the game when he is actually one of the few casters that knows some shit.
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.

The fact is he doesn't know anything about the game.. even my 7 year old brother knows more than husky, my 7 year old brother knows the pro scene and all the top korean teams and players, and has a good understanding of the opening builds and the B/O poker that takes place in first few mins of a game.. 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).
top diamond on us though.... : D
OT, i think its important for the stream to be different from the day9 stream, however they want to do that. so maybe husky will work out well for them
|
if people dont like husky then just dont watch the stream, no one is forcing you to so stop complaining about something that only effects you if you choose to let it
|
I'm so PUMPED! Can't wait for this! Husky and Mr. Bitter are going to do great. Husky does a good show and Mr. Bitter knows a lot about the game from talking to Pros basically everyday.

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.
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.

I hate mrBitter's casting. Its always so bias for zerg. Either its protoss has this "impossible to stop" army or terran has this "impossible to stop" timing. Everything zerg does is brilliant while every terran and toss player is cheesy.

And the funniest thing about that is - I'm a higher league than this guy and love husky.

only looking forward to day9 commentating live regardless of the game...

They hired Husky because he has a huge Youtube fanbase.

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

People should stop complaining about Husky and MrBitter, they will do fine, MrBitter has enough experience to provide good analyzing and Husky's all known for his play-by-play.
I think the event is going to be awesome even without Tastosis. Im really looking forward to seeying DongRaeGu in action!
|
Husky will be able to keep the cast interesting for the people that have little knowledge about the game and Bitter will also help keep it interesting for us TL people by explaining why a player did a certain thing.
|
Husky is terrible at casting in my hones opinion. He dosen't really know streategies and the high level details of the game, he just has a somewhat nice voice and shouts alot, and mr bitter is just 100% zerg biased. I'm just gonna watch day9's stream with sound on, and bitter stream with sound off, just like everyone else.
My hope is that bitter and husky don't get to cast the games i am looking forward too because looking at a stream in mute is not that entertaining.

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..
Dude, you're an idiot. He explains what a golden mouse is, and just because he looked up ladder stats (which btw, do actually matter, as a lot of players use ladder for practice in korea) doesn't mean he knows nothing else about the players. Just sounds like you have blind hate for Husky and are looking for ways to slander him.

So, Husky is the new Gretorp this time?
Seriously guys, how childlike can you be, also bad mannered and hateful. Can't you support someone over your silly obsessions?
This is an insult to Gretorp in all honesty... he might be flaky at times, but he's a pro player with deep knowledge about the builds and good insight on the game. Husky just shamelessly panders to the average joe with his half-witted comments and deeply uninformed opinions of the game and e-sports in general.

does anybody know where I can watch not casted matches? (Boxer vs Sheth fox example)

i thought husky and mr. bitter were very good together. certainly one of my new favorite casting duos; they really surprised me.

They were surprisingly good for how bad they are solo casting..

@Gretorp issue.
Gretorp is a Professional Player. He casts much better than Husky, had insight to several builds in the game and knows his timings. I don't know why you'd compare him to a bad caster like Husky.

lol dude, some people just hate for the sake of hating.
Husky has kicked absolute ass throughout this entire tournament.
I love Gretorp to death, but when it comes to pumping people up and just kicking ass with your play-by-play, Husky is literally one of the best in the business.
Its been a fucking blast working with him. I've had fun, I've learned a lot, and my personal perspective of the guy has changed too...
Never again will I look down my nose and think of him as a pure play-by-play guy. He genuinely understands the game very well, and if you stick him in there with someone who truly gets it, he fucking rocks.
Can't wait to see more of his casts with Day[9].

This VOD system is absolutely terrible.
I can't find IdrA vs. Cruncher G2.
And G1 is only in LQ rofl

GODDAMMIT. husky is going to drive me insane now; it's not zealot legs and marauder slow. it's zealot charge and concussive shells. i wonder if this bothers anyone else? he's not too terrible otherwise i think, but this is just really annoying now.

But Marauder slow=Concussive shells
And zealot legs=zealot charge
not sure if srs or trolling.

no, it's not. all zealots have legs. marauder slow sounds stupid (literally, or that marauders somehow move slower), and is not what the upgrade is called.

What the hell is wrong with you? Do you also yell at people who call the Hellion Infernal Pre-igniter "blue flame" and Zergling Metabolic Boost "zergling speed"?

no, those actually make sense. zealot speed would also make sense.

Concussive shells slow stuff.
Marauders slow stuff when they have CS.
Zealots charge icon looks like some legs.
I'm dumbing it down to your level of thinking, and honestly you're just being stupid nitpicking Husky over something entirely trivial.

I think they are doing quite well. I've never full understood why people HATE on husky sometimes. He's not the most knowledgable like Day9 or Artosis and who cares? It doesn't matter that he's not Masters or Grandmasters. He has a true love for the game and is extremely entertaining. Bob Costas is not the greatest olympic athlete. (sports reference) just like Jim Nance is not the best golfer. They are good at CASTING and ENTERTAINING. Husky brings the average fan into the game and if you are a true fan of SC, then that is never a bad thing and he should be applauded for everything he does for the game and the community.

And cocussive shells is just hard as fuck to say.....
