It must be quite a few years back when there was a video in which Husky explained that he had a health issue with his throat and his doctor told him it was mainly because of how he was casting. If you have ever seen or heard Husky cast, you probably know why.

It's been a long time since i saw that video but i think he said that's why he was taking a break to recuperate. But yeah he probably moved on after that and never came back.

Hey a lot of people don't think too highly of Husky, but before teamliquid.net, me and many other people got into SC2 because of his videos. He was a huge reason why many people watch SC2 on youtube.


I don't remember hearing anything like that.

Well the community treated him like shit. Like, people made fun of him for casting, for no other reason than they didn't like the way he casted, that he got invited to MLG over their favorite casters, stuff like that. It got really bad in late 2012, early 2013, when hots was coming out, people ripped into him for not being a real caster, or a real gamer, or not only doing SC2. It was really ugly. He stopped appearing at events then stopped making content all together, he started managing his girlfriends productions so he went to that full time.


This, however, I do remember.



ya ya because you didn't see it so it didn't exist.

/facepalm

here, from his youtube channel, his last explanation video.





After that there were still about 20+ videos of various games but no more updates about himself.

I really dont think the community was pissed off because he made the choice to quit and focus on roe's career , as a long time husky fan I think he did the right thing at the right time, they were pissed off because after following and supporting him for so long, he just disappears , no warning , no explanation , no good byes....nothing , we dont deserve one last video ??? its just "fuck you bitches I'm out" , that's why he gets all the hate comments on youtube , he didnt betray sc2 , he betrayed his fans.

My all time favorite youtube wc3 caster was StoneBreakKid or (SBK), at least he explained why he was retiring in his last couple of videos and he did so after that, I dont see the Wc3 community raging and giving the guy any kind of hate , in fact I have the utmost respect for his decision to focus on his work as an engineer to advance his career and all his dedicated work for wc3.

I liked Husky a lot, he done great content for the community and its a shame he left. When you look back retrospectively he made the right choice. Kudos to him

Overall popular casters jumping ship wasn't a surprise to me. I expected day9 to stick around longer though.

People getting mad at "internet personalities" for stopping producing non-profitable content are morons. "Internet personalities" often start making content as a hobby, then try to make a living out of it, or move to something else. But the aim is always to pay bill and eat three times a day. I really like the day9 dailies and they helped me a lot getting better at the game, and one day they stopped. He said he went on a hiatus, but never made any more SC2 dailies : i don't give a shit about watching him play heartstone, but i wouldn't blame him.

If anything, i'm much more mad at blizzard for destroying the SC2 franchise with 2 failed expensions, then pulling ressources away from multiplayer developpement, leaving a game that has had great potential since WOL in a state where any gold-league player could figure out ways the game could be better.
The lack of work from blizzard towards SC2's multi meant the viewership dropped, especially during times where the meta was stale and stupid (BLfestor/blinkallins/SH 3hours games) but where the dev team did nothing. In turn that meant people loss interest, that content produced by "internet personalities" for the game was way less profitable, meaning a lot moved on to something else, leading even more people away from the game.

The worst enemy of SC2 was Blizzard itself. All those sacrifices made at the altar of APM destroyed the game.

I checked out some of our Youtube videos. On the lower end, some of her videos have about 700K views. On the higher end, one of her videos had 13 million views. I didn't bother to look too far so she probably has other videos with even more views than 13 million. Looks like most of her videos have between 1 million to 3 million views.

And she's pretty decent looking too. LOL, where do I get a wife like that?

Nice stats, yeah, it's weird seeing posts from time to time talking about her as if she's just some random lady, people not knowing how much bigger and more successful her channel is (and has been) compared to Husky's.

His videos got me into watching sc2. He put out a ton of great content related to the game. It was sad when he just disappeared without any word to his fans. It definitely felt like he didn't care, so perhaps he thought we wouldn't care if he left. He was wrong though, and I would love to hear something from him regarding his departure and how he is doing in his life now.

Edit: Interesting video. At least there's some sort of explanation about it. Better late then never.

Yeah he mentioned his throat issues back in the days of bronze league heroes. I loved his content, but I can understand that someday you move on and I am not mad about him silently vanishing.

Agreed. It is weird how some people think that someone that produces free content that they enjoy owes them something because they are consuming that content.

The content creation is always a hobby or a job for the person creating the content. If you want more of that content, be nice to them, and try to make creating the content more rewarding, for example through positive feedback. If they don't produce the things you enjoy anymore, stop consuming. Either enough people enjoy their stuff that they still keep on doing it, or they will do something else.

Don't be an asshole about it. They don't owe you anything, you don't owe them anything. Being nice to people who make or have made things that you like should be a no brainer.

I just seem to remember a point in time where it seemed like he was shifting his focus more towards running a productions company supporting other youtubers more than doing his own content. Didn't really follow him after that, though hearing that he now produces his wife's channel, it seems like a logical transition. Good for him!
... In life very little goes right. "Right" meaning the way one expected and the way one wanted it. One has no right to want or expect anything.

It's so funny how people are upset that casters do it for the money. I mean, if you are going to cast full time, you do need some income to live and pay bills. Day 9 and Husky for me love the game and shared so much good tips on how to play better and what the pros are thinking. I have no qualm with them trying to make money off it because it requires so much effort and time (and also money too, computers and high-speed internet for streaming ain't free).

People who look down on doing things for the money is one reason why my favorite FPS, Team Fortress 2, failed as an esport. There is a loud minority that wants to preserve the game's ideological purity at the cost of making it appealing to outsiders and more importantly, profitable. I've had arguments with people who vehemently defend the current state of competitive TF2 because they don't want to be "sellouts."

Heck, they're not even playing the normal game, but a heavily modified version of TF2 that is extremely unpopular with outsiders.

I'm glad that Husky and Day9 got out when they could.

I would be guessing the people who are upset would be the ones who fell whole heartedly, hook line and sinker for the whole "I am casting this for the passion guys! I am so excited! I love sc2! It is the greatest game ever and I'll cast this forever and teach my kids and grandchildren this"

I don't blame Husky, he was working fulltime for a game that doesn't ensure any future stability. I would like to watch some new videos because the old ones were very interesting,but I'll always wish the best of luck for him,the same for day9 and hdstarcraft

really? the community hated husky?

I mean, if you want talk about unjustified hate from the community, moletrap had it way worse. The guy started doing BW casts, then got the dream job of casting GSL, but the community got so toxic he had to quit.
