Hey Ladies and Gentlemen,
first of all: please excuse my bad english and before my text starts if have to say. That this site really rocks. I spend so much time here, browsing everything, just readin you guys in the forums and watch the gosu Livecasts and VODs - place of heaven.
I got a beta Key a while ago and started playing the game. Since i am a bw/sc oldschooler (i play and watch the scene since '98/99) i thought that it is MY time to give something back to the community. My Heros in this particular case were Day[9] - <3 u sooo much, HDStarcraft and Husky who really really do an amazing job for all of us. So i started a Youtube Channel, especially for the german guys, because there are not very much german casts - and even fewer in full HD Quality. This all happened a month ago. And now i just wanted to let you know as well. Maybe there are some People interested in this Channel/livestream. Maybe so Staff Guys from Tournaments read this, that i can make some Coverage for the german audience from Pro US Tournaments as well. In the last 4 weeks already a small community started to built, and for german circumstances it is not that small :p - i get a lot of good feedback and hope to find some guys who like it, watch it, support it or invite me to tournamtes to cover them in my "German Hamburg Slang" :D
So i hope you dont see this as a stupid advertisement, because this is not my intention. I just want to give something back for the last 12 years of Starcraft. Even some Blizzard employees gave me their (positive) feedback. And if you see my channel and the 76 casted games all in full HD you see, this is hard work =D So here is the link: http://youtube.com/user/hdhomerj
My next "BIG PLAN" is a invitational Tournament.. but i am still working on that. ^^
Hope to hear from you! Yours, HomerJ
P.S. Day[9] daylie #100 almost made me cry ^^
|
I know him. He indeed is a pretty good caster and knows what he's talking about and I would aswell appreciate if I can get hands on good german casts from US-Tournaments 'n stuff. It wouldn't give me a hard time listening to english casts though.
Kudos for him doing this and: give him a chance!
edit: Found a flaw in your text Mr. HomerJ - your youtube-link seems to lead to a different yt-account. It should be http://www.youtube.com/user/hdhomerj
|
|
good to have someone deliver to the german community - even if i hate the abbreviations and acronyms in the german scene. in fantasy and scifi, this language always makes the "hellforged hammer of total domination" sound like "gummibear pogo stick" to me. but hey, good for the community, good for the game, good for us all.
|
@Pebble Thank you! And i corrected the Link 
@Savior.. uhm k
@Mob Yea thats true. I can imagine how bad this sounds sometimes. But anyway. I think connecting the US and EU Community even more would be so nice!
|
looks not good, in just the first part of the game you say boxer went 14 pool 15 hatch, which isn't even true, boxer went hatch first and the way you mixes english names with german is
|
I like your style.. its a way crazy... watched stream yersterday without winning a key but think i will tune in some more in future
|
Ok, a mistake. Sorry for that. It was late that night, as i said in the VOD
|
I really like your videos, very entertaining and authentic 
I dont think that denglisch is avoidable since the basic language is german but all the terms are english, and using the translations would sound unprofessional.
So anyways, great work HomerJ, looking forward to more casts

Great to hear. Tomorrow i will cover the go4sc2 cup #11. So maybe i'll see you there. And two additional Keys will go out - some users donated them so i can give them away :D yay!
|
For everyone who is interested: i go live today at 13:30 german time. *hugs*
|
mh I just watched that Flash vs Kenshin game. First of all there's about a 0.000000000000000000000001% chance that that's the real flash. Secondly Harald Juhnke is dead, so I dont think he's gonna sue you.
Other than that you have a very good commentating voice and are ...good at talking as silly as that sounds, but from someones who's apparently played sc for 12 years it was sad to see that there was absolutely 0 strategical analysis and basically nothing but play by play.
For me personally you have just a little bit too much energy but that's subjective and others might like you for that. Overall I definitely like you better than the current ESL sc2 commentators.
oh and sick game btw., flash style TvP ftw.
|
Yeah, thx for the Feedback. And you are right ^^ i have lots of energy and i need to waste it somewhere :D
So today is another Livecast and some more videos got uploaded to youtube recently.
cheers, homer
|
i like your commentary and i find it awesome that you made it to TL casts. i would just have one wish for your commentary : focus on overall game analysis and not that much on commenting single happenings. i know its funny and especially in german you are doing a great job but i think with a bit of a focus change more on strategy and tactics commentary your work would be greatly improved. regradless of that i will watch all your stuff since you are one of the best german commentaries online atm
/ da mein english zu schlecht ist um dir zu verdeutlichen was ich sagen wollte : du kannst total toll kommentieren wenn nen zealot gegen zwei zerglings kämpft und jeden special move einzeln aber zu der tactic 10 gate oder 4 gate push kommt nichts und das finde ich ein wenig schade. die deutsche community schaut so extrem viel englishe caster das es schade ist das einer von den guten die eine gute stimme und verständlichkeit und humor haben sich nicht so sehr um taktik und strategie kümmert. wenn du das ändern könntest würde es deine casts auf eine ebene mit husky und HD heben und ein gutes stück in richtung day9. ich wünsche dir alles gute bei weiteren casten.
/ i just heard on your lifestream that you are doing something with day9. this is awesome. please please do it. :D he is like the last action hero of commentary and it can only help you seriously.
/ you said you want to spare the tactical analysis for your tactical casts BUT i really think that even your normal game casts could use a little more of that.
|
I recently contacted him - and he will take a close look at the upcoming invitational. So i hope that he will be on board So i keep working on that.
Concerning the "lack of tacticts" you are defently right. I have to work on that issue. But i will do my best to get rid of that problem. Maybe the Tacticspecial on youtube will be the first step in that direction. So please keep a critical eye on my cast as well as an entertaining 
Hope to hear from you guys
|
i recently watched the youtube video of your cast from the jinro vs spux game ( g113) and i have to say that i somehow feel like you have improved a bit in this cast if it comes to explaination and stuff or just mentioning. when you explained what unit counters what unit in jinro's and spux' army that was reaaaally great imho. clean explainations like this a little from normal trash talk and you are on a really good way imho
/ if you want to talk about replays or need some more in depth criticism over a cup of coffee just contact me, hamburg is not that big a city
|
Hey shadow,
great that you noticed it. I reallys try to improve. So this is a good feedback to see where i am at right now. Tonight will be the CraftCup EU from 19:00 CET and tomorrow i will livestream for 14 Hours! First ESL - GO4SC2 from 14:00 CET and then the CraftCup US starting at 21:00 CET 
Hamburg btw, is small as hell. Even the World is small as hell - as we just see ^^. There will defenetly be some time to drink one
/ Eppendorf, btw /
|
make sure you upload the stuff you are doing today and tomorrow because i dont know if i can tune in because of watching over my 1 month old daughter the whole night (and playing sc2 while she sleeps >,<) i would love to critize your commentaries in a constructive way further on so keep improving, i think a lot of german players are really looking forward to your casts because it still is a difference if you hear something in english or in your mother tongue especially if the level is high and it would be awesome to have a good german commentary. and you can do It \0/ :=) just show a bit more of the huge knowledge you can pull out of your ass like in the jinro vs spux match. its just awesome.
and yeah. hamburg is small as hell >.< alsterdorf btw :D
|
Next Wednesday will be a tactic Special with TLO It will start at 19:00 CET.
What about our drink? :D
|
|
Next tournaments are coming, and the youtube channel keeps growing and growing. 20k subs incoming! :D I am happy! .D

please remember to set your stream "offline" on TL when you don't stream. it's so annoying to always have it in the "live" list although it's off.

He is for sure the best german caster. And a cool dude!  'Must see' for everyone from germany and those few people out there who speak german fluently.

|
Do you EVER turn of your stream!?
|
worst caster on earth.. no content, only childish comments the whole time. stop casting or get some knowledge of the game... couldnt watch your stream more than 5min. sorry dude! dont get the: 'muste see' comments from above.
|
@booo: agreed and now think of the fact that he even quit his job to spend even more time to stay constantly listed on TL while in fact being offline, heh.
anyway, i wish him well but just don't think that it'll work out at all for him.

What is going on? Why is there a german dude, with a german stream that have 6k viewers? Wtf?
|
Germany1287 Posts
8000 viewers, wtf? HomerJ beats UEFA Champions League on German TV
|
lol why are there 10k people in his room right now? o__o
|
|
10,5k never saw that before
|
I wish some German would explain how this guy got so popular. Or anybody who knows. Is he really funny? Is he a German hidden gosu? Or are Germans just dying for esports coverage and he's their fix. I think it's great that he's getting so many viewers!
|
No idea. People at the biggest german Esport site are also discussing why he has so many viewers. His game knowledge is at best decent. But I heard he has a big fanbase since Beta. So maybe he is a caster for the non esport players? I dont know.
|
I think a reason is, that there is a lack of german casters with knowledge and and regular casts. Homer J basicly casts everything, thats not hosted by ESL. I am not the biggest fan of his casts too and i know a lot of people who are not either, but watching his casts because of no german (or often english) alternative.

10500 viewers on a german cast on a thursday morning at 0:30 in germany .. is .. quite the achievement. Homer provides plenty of stuff for the casual player that simply wants to have fun, seasoned with a big community-aspect. Knowledge-wise he might not be the german equivalent to Day9 (well, who is?), and although some/many dislike him and prefer other german casters, he compensates with casting which is deemed as funny and/or even crazy to most people, thus gathering an insane userbase, bringing esports even to people who had no idea what SC2 is until they saw Homer. Additionally, he is in good standing with a lot of well-known players, so there will always be some good stuff coming around (he is live on Skype with Dimaga as I am typing this). Thank you, Homer, for spreading SC2
|
HomerJ casts are simply good. If you want to cast starcraft for many people (10000+) there is no need to go deeply in tactics. Most people want to see an epic cast event. Commentators have to scream and you have to feel the tension. Look at commentators in other sports. Further HomerJ isn't so nerdy like other commentators.

He has not a very deep knowledge of the game at all. He's nowhere near of the level of Day9. If people say HDStarcraft or Husky are annoying... he's worse, way worse.
He's so popular in Germany because he's German speaking and there is basically nobody else casting on a regulary basis other than him.
|
@ mitthrawn
That isn't true, There are some german caster, who casting many events and games.
I think, his best quality is his personality and his engagement for the e-sport. He wants to make more popular e-sport and he wants that people, who don't or not often play SC2, also enjoy the games. The number in spectators is not only for him, but also for the e-sport a gigantic success.
gl hf Homerj
|
homerj is just an original. thats the reason.
being entertaining, also he is a "nordlicht".
he needs no knowledge to suck in the masses, if he had knowledge day9 would be endangered. (and homerj learns... DÄHÄ! )
|
sers tl comm!
i think that homerj is a really good and even entertaining caster. dont forget that his "career" is nothing comparing to the time day9 is casting.
there are many more german casters( german casters who cast in german) like khaldor, take, nightman, derfrodo and many others.
homerj (and of course his crew) spend a lot of time in their project, and the +10k viewer are their earnings.
every caster has his own style, and thats how it should be. dont need day9 or husky clones.
watch what you want, but dont jugde.
i even cant figure out why the masses watch crap like "twilight"...
dont like it? dont watch! like it? watch!
|
why are green-black stripes in my screen while watching this stream?
|
just wanna say, that I appreciate your work!
|
Like it. Dont understand much of what he's saying but a little bit 
stream is stable and have excellent picture
only thing i miss is a chat that i can actually chat in.
|
He ALWAYS brings goot tourneys and stuff... but he's SUCH a BAD streamer.... slow... dont click on production facilities... dont follow the game right... is a;ways late to battles... terrible.
|
haha i love watching his stream because its just hilarious to not know german but hear some sc2 terms that are in english sprinkled it
|

there is a chat go on homerj.de and click on the button HDstream http://www.homerj.de/
or just follow this link http://www.own3d.tv/live/150 theres an irc chat under the stream window (and he was a pro in sc1 and a diamond player until he got 2 busy with casting 2 play much, he knows more about the game than many people think)
|
The Line-Up for tonights X-Mas cup is just epic, again. :-)
|
I don't get how he gets so many viewers. I REALLY tried to watch his stream tonight, but it was just soooooooooooo terrible bad. He has no idea what is going on in the games he is casting coupled with the worst observing I've seen in sc2.

No need to be a dick. If you don't like it, don't watch it.
I watched it today and didn't understand anything (maybe like 4 words in German ) and I didn't think it was bad.

Well, if you don't understand it, how can you judge if it is bad or not? Some people get turned off by bad casts. I for one can't watch HD anymore ("there is no counter to this mass raven build!"). While this is certainly personal preference, saying that homerj has little understanding of the game is rather objective.
|
Homerj -
Is there anyway you can describe exactly what you use to broadcast? You easily have the best quality on a stream I've ever seen!
Really interested in what applications you use, and what settings you use.
|
Nichts persöhnlich gegen HomerJ ist nen kuhler Typ aber mal ganz ehrlich, er hat ja keine Ahnung von SC2 . Das ist schon peinlich und dann 1on1 Platin naja und so einer soll gut casten. Nein.
ENG: This is not personal against HomerJ, but he just doesnt know anything about SC2. Its just ridiculous, and hes just 1on1 Platin. Hes a noob in casting and knowledge!

so nobody is allowed to judge they casting quality of this stream?
@topic: assetpoints of this stream are really the variety of tournaments which are casted and the awesome, unique quality of the stream, but seriously guys... homerj is really lacking on casting skills... like someone allready said, he's allways to late at fights, is missing drops, mixing up builds etc. ... if you are really interested in a high level casting german stream, just watch Take... he is well informed, fast and was a very top tier player on his own (at least @ wc3)
|
Thanks to you HomerJ and to all of your staff for the epic events you are organising, and the great evenings you create for all your viewers.
Haters gonna Hate. Don't take the guys to serious, who cant give credit for great work!
|
Love the quality of the stream, it's simply amazing. I do not understand everything,but I enjoy commentated games, even in German, and I believe HomerJ to be quite cappable of doing so. In short, Good stream, brave of you to comment in a non-english language keep up the good work.!
|
Yeah, the high quality stream is awesome, bit surprised that it supposedly has 8,000 viewers???
|
Ze Germans are going nuts over esports. At 12 o'clock there were 10000 viewers. sadly the final was a bo7 TvT. probably the least eciting mu ever.
|
♥ that high quality stream
|
♥ that high quality stream
|
Ah, I always miss your stream love the hq and your casting overall.
Is there a way that it become a featured stream? I just notice that cyborg cup etc. is live when your on top of unfeatured streams at sc2 main page.
Insane that there are almost 4000 viewers although another cup is on air with khaldor streaming
|
Completely unwatchable at the moment because of epic, epic lag!
|
one of the worst and most overrated casters in germany.
Hyped by thousands of casual bronze-silver players, no game knowledge at all, childish humor.
Just my opinion, no offense. His tours rock though, tons of prizes and therefore lots of players. too bad i have to mute to see this

Basti!!!! I looooooove you <3<3

Basti, keep up the great work. Don't let the elitist nerd hatred (read: fail at anything else but gaming in life) under your skin and keep entertaining ordinary folks like me (viewers only older guys).

Definatly the most entertaining caster from Germany. And he has the most pleasant voice. If he only had more clue about the game (no offence ).

one question:
what was the name of the website where you can win the laptop HomerJ mentioned several minutes before? something like chrisis...
thanks for answers

He has the greatest setup but I only have one complaint about this guy. He's so boring.
I mean, I was just watching Goody vs Nerchio and it was like a tense back and forth battle for Goody to take Nerchio's third, and HomerJ hardly reacted. Nerchio at one point accidently moved his roaches into the tanks and HomerJ just said "ouch" and not even an "OUCH".

It was a nice Cup! More nice cups will follow. And as i mentioned quite a few times before. I dont put my focus on too much strategy.

watching the minimap at least once ever 20 seconds or so would improve your casts by a ton.
Also little things, like clicking on a scouting drone that propably killed an SCV to see if it got any kills.
But I guess that is just too much to ask for.
|
could some one plz paste the link for the pokerstrategy.de page on facebook for the monitors plz ? gl Abonnen
|
Oh man just watching the Call4Kings by PokerStrategy and I am so frustrated right now. This guy haven't got the multitasking to cast games -.- I am so annoyed that he missed 80% of Drops and Actions.
|
Principally I really do like the casts of HomerJ. He's a really nice guy and I'm watching his live casts and vods on youtube for month.
The only thing I don't like is the active advertisement for pokerstrategy.com at the 4kings tournament. Homer please be aware that quite a lot of your viewers are under 18 and please do not actively encourage people to visit pages like this. All of us know that the only issue of this page is to force users to play online poker.
I really really know how hard it is to finance the whole project and i appreciate your casts, but I don't think that sort of sponsorship is worth it on the long run :/
|
I am ok with the advertisement for pokerstrategy.com. They finance the cup and wanna have a consideration for that. The jersey sponsor of Real Madrid is bwin. Is that ok for you?
|
stream lags every 2 seconds...
|
seems he ist not the best caster
|
Great cast as always, happy to see some live action again ♥
|
as awesome as always. mucho cow ass <3 .

Really? You just created an account on TL, didn't read anything in the "Read this Thread before posting" just for caster bashing in his own stream thread? The qualities of HomerJ as a caster left aside, this ist just soo low.
+ Show Spoiler +I hereby apologize for feeding the troll -.-
|
-Joined TL.net Saturday, 2nd of April 2011- i´ve been just reading for quite a while now..also before creating this account. but i really couldnt hold me back on this
|
xDDD I am laughing, because you made a nice joke on the stream with Honor, I loled so hard at the Dog that was on Taldarim Altar game Lalush vs Dream.
♥ you, I would prefer to write in german, but for that I have an account on HomerJ.de ♥
Keep doing it, its awesome and its awesome :d
