Husky on getting into casting, taking criticism and more

[Wylff]

Husky and HD are ok.. But they are nothing compared to CholeraSC and the old guys. Basically all commentators do today is tell you what is happning : "He built a zergling, now he atttacks, and overlord died, he is running low on minerals." In the old times it used to be more.

[scoza]

HD & Husky both stinks. They both sound like kids with too much redbulls. Blitzshouter(crota) = best underrated caster imo

[yellow6100]

Husky should cast with White -ra.

[spontaneoussam2]

dr daniel jackson?? y u no work on stargate stuff???

[CowHoofOnAHotPlate]

I prefer HD.... but Husky is still great.

They're both good.

[ministove1111]

Wow Husky is a good speaker

[macyisacat]

I FUCKING LOVE HUSKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYY

[PeaceloverEmelya]

Husky,you do the best reviews,keep going and HF!)

[donovanfortd]

<3 Husky. Well, spoken, entertaining, just a pleasure to watch

[qveny]

husky is really amazing thats all there is to say.....o and his new hair cut is hawtttt

[realtmc]

Wow he's not only incredibly entertaining he's also pretty smart!

[andymichaux]

Love Husky!!! He is the shit!!!

[Woutva]

husky is awesome.

[SC2News]

Inspirational! Down to earth! Critical! Goofy! Husky!

♥

[herbitussin1]

WOW Husky, ale z Ciebie perfekcjonista. Naprawde świetne są twoje livecasty, z przyjemnością się je ogląda :)

[Therealtheugene]

I wish i could press the "like" button more than once. Husky deserves it.

[bukk3t]

This is really, really good. Very well spoken Husky.

[Molari]

damn husky is like a grown up now

[stat1cst0rm]

Great interview, been watching Husky since beta days, he's improved a lot & this was a well thought out & interesting interview, Husky's sure done a great job of carving out a profession & making this viable as a career for him

[redeye117]

I find Husky commentary highly entertaining and it get hilariously funny at many times.

For those newbies or haters out there who wants a analytical in depth match review should looks elsewhere.

For those who just want to sit back and watch pros in action with casual commentary then Husky your man.

[TheCivilRobo]

Husky your a great caster! My only complaint is that you need to pay a little more attention to the minimap dude!

[Woutva]

@TheCivilRobo

good point! Sometimes he is talking about random stuff A happening in the corner, while you see the main army move out on the mini map and are like: AAARG! MOVE OVER! :P

[seagon94]

your name is Mike ???

[edunmango]

Husky you are looking a lot better, you gained some weight and your hair is actually combed now

[siho3333]

im hungry

[Vinzaf]

Fantastic interview!

[nmw1304]

Husky definitely knows how to deal with criticism, he knows how to keep a cool head and set his mind on the important matter. Beside his humorous side of personality, I think he is a caster to be respected as well

[nihonzukisam]

@SCllGaMeR I wouldn't say all cos there are so many unknown guys with no real casting abilities. But basically I agree with u, most of the casters we see in tournaments are really good enough imo.

[TheEkkas]

Husky is the best caster, his humor is the best by far, especially when he's tired! ;)

Keep it coming Husky, hope you grow old casting games.

[FreeTh1nk3r]

ppl just jealous they have no casting talent or charisma

[WrecklesFANG]

THAT WAS DEEP!

:' )

[nihonzukisam]

I do agree with Husky about hard core sc2 nerds who think his comments are too superficial and that he should do more analysis like day[9]. I do think husky is great as an entertainer, but with good analysis though not too much. Imo I prefer this kind of cast and consider day[9] a bit too "heavy". I do think day[9] is really really good as well, though his casts don't suit me that much.

So some will prefer day[9] style, others would think husky or hd are better, everybody is happy.

[nihonzukisam]

@nihonzukisam By the way I love even more french casters Pomf et Thud (in french as I am), so for people who understand french, theses guys are crazy good and funny casters (not really hardcore style so hardcore gamers shouldn't watch).

[hkailnog]

like if u want to start casting but u hate ur voice or trolls get to u to easy or if u just have shit internet

[Rikkilaw]

HD and Husky had the first star craft2 tournament i ever watched and there the reason y i love SC2 and e-sports thumps up husky

[leederek]

? really ? anyone? how about hd? @.@

[Garmose]

@leederek They've both cleared the air about that a long time ago. There's not hate between them, they just went down different paths. :P

[leederek]

@Garmose love hate relationship. lol

[mynameiseigor]

Is it just me or does husky remind me of Steve Jobs in this.

[BRAWLExpert95]

Love you Husky! ^^ Got me really into starcraft also! :D

[Careohx]

he reminds me of the guy h to the h busky musky

[barlowcj]

Husky is great.

[yoonisex]

Whatever happened to HDH Invitational 2

[thedowner]

@yoonisex HD and Husky got into a fight at blizzcon 2010. It's almost like a relationship they say they're still friends and respect each other but you know they fucking hate each other lol. You don't just stop talking to each other after you do something as big as HDH.

[PublicTrolling]

Husky cant cast for shit lawls. hes funny tho, which is why hes so popular.

[CELLERTOTEN]

the only thing OP is Husky.

[Dr4ceGer]

Still know, why I signed up on Youtube... Because Husky so often told me I'm still a cool guy watching his videos, but I'd be much cooler if I'd make a Youtube account and subscribe to him. :D

[MrBlackmomba55]

@Dr4ceGer Same story bro

[WSBrotherHood]

Anyone else had the urge to try and close the title block that popped up in the beginning thinking it was an ad.

[FoxSmexy]

For some reason I only exist to watch Husky.

[lamyunholic]

He kinda looks like young Matt Damon in this video. Both are very smart guys, btw.

[eclipsedammit]

Husky you look so much better with your hair short!

[markototev]

Yeah I don't watch his youtube casts anymore (prefer day9 and esp. artosis analysis) but this is the guy who got me into watching this stuff instead of casually playing the game. Him and HD. BALLERS!

[R34lD]

No sleep casts are THE BEST!!!

[phutoystarcraft]

husky that's my boy

[MsScarfase]

husky my friend if Esports and mainly Blizzard (for sc2) wants to have something like official caster or main comantator or something like that, ive would say "SEARCH NO FURTHER YOU FOUND THE GUY YOUR LOOKING FOR - HUSKY !!!"

[trevorguo]

Husky is a very good caster to me~

[nesvrstani1981]

Go Husky go go : )

[ilovezerglings]

i prefer zergs but husky is the best human on earth!

[Jalkloben13]

This is fake, huskys hair doesnt look super wierd...

[Genocide095]

Who the fuck trolls u I WILL KILL THEM FOR U

[BlastamastaX]

you rule husky. Thanks for all the great cast. you are by far the most entertaining caster to watch. especially when epic battles are going down and you get all hyped up lol. eyebrow raising edge of your seat white knuckle action! lol. keep up the great work

[Jastro88]

HUSKY! You're an important dude in the SC2 world right? Tell Blizzard not to remove the carrier and Mommaship! You're a Toss player aren't you? FOR AIUR!

[zrighteouskiller]

husky whered your hand go????

[ksungjin10]

DUDE he looks like Jack Coleman.

[hookyelyak]

luv husky

[Pager1991]

husky is one of the only casters who actually points out little micro moves that each player makes, which makes him 110% awesome

[3Z3K13L08]

It's thanks to Husky that I'm into the SC2 pro scene. Love you man, stay true to yourself, you're awesome!

[jim122401]

As usual, a great interview from Husky.

[manderse12]

I love this guy. Husky single-handedly got me into watching SC casts and paying serious attention to e-sports. He's from my area of the country (Portland, Oregon), and his humble, down-to-earth, easy-going nature reflects the spirit of the region. Thanks Husky for all of your hard work and enthusiasm! You're doing a great job.

[xxGODxOFxWAR]

@manderse12 Same as me:) Its amazing how one awesome caster can unite people across the world. Ah so touching:)

[bukk3t]

@manderse12 same :) , except not from arorund that area

[Xadanar]

@manderse12 hey im from hillsboro

[xxGODxOFxWAR]

In the Interview Husky says that "He sees hundreds of angry comments saying oh you suck on lots of videos" I cant think of more than 2 people Ive ever seen dissing Husky:D And those two people were anger riddled assholes.

[StfuSiriusly]

@xxGODxOFxWAR i think he more talking about the early days

[MothaFawkenTeamGS]

i wish to hear more about husky's philosophy! :D

[sjemin]

1:24 refering to HD? u two used to have so much fun together..

[scanthemelon]

great speach. gg

[GITTZA]

Here is a tip for being a better caster Husky...grow some eyebrows! I'm just messing, you are one of my favorite casters of all and thanks for all the great commentary. It makes every game more exciting.

[TheRidersChoice]

husky has good knowledge of the game but he still sucks at actually playing the game lol so dont take his advice

[MrArcadia67]

where can i find his broodwar stuff ? i miss his "Storm , storm, storm !!!! OMG" ....:D

[MrArcadia67]

Husky, such a Boss !!! im proud of him XD

[lookitsmyvideo]

CS Major FTW

[AlexVillanator]

ive watched a lot of commentators.... dont really like any but husky. hate those english sounding casters!

[sp3ctor27]

remember when husky was a bad commentator? yea me either...

[DanToretto1]

He has some small ears o.O

[DanToretto1]

Maybe his skin isn't as thick as he thinks since I left a relatively negative comment on his page (nothing too harsh but was indeed negative) and next thing you know I'm no longer a subscriber to his channel and banned from commenting on his videos because he banned me. It was my other account. I was like "wtf? Did he really take it that offensively?"

[Whitesock12345]

Really good interview!

[gg2000gg2000]

dang husky seems to have aged quite a bit over the past year or so. partying too much maybe?

[DanToretto1]

@gg2000gg2000 He doesn't even drink or smoke so I doubt soda parties was really aging him all that much.

[simplyivan16]

@gg2000gg2000 I don't think 'aged' is the word I would use. Matured, perhaps.

[Amotaraso]

Great interview! :-)

No doubt you have improved a lot. But the essence in your commentary, has never changed. Which is very good. I laugh my ass off at just about every single video you make. And that's good! If I want the analytic stuff, I watch day9. If I want funzies, I watch Husky<

Here is also a great note for you. I think it was last MLG, I watched it with 4 friends, who had almost no clue about the game mechanics. They said you were the only commentator that made them understand the game

[anawa083]

Husky you really look more mature. I'm proud of you, I just wished i could support you a bit more. Good job on represeting us, I'm about 7 years older then you and have my own career not in e-sport but happy to see you grow. A dream I couldn't fulfill but happy to see you doing it!

[MothaFawkenTeamGS]

HUSKYYYYYYY! <3

[simplyivan16]

This video made me regain a lot of respect for Husky. He can sound intelligent when he wants to.

[cmgreen4]

mike. MIKE? MIIIIKKEEE? THAT'S HIS NAME? oh...i fell so in love with husky that i forgot he has a real name...i was hoping for something more like ZANDER or WESSELHOFF (if those are actual names or famous people no allusions are meant...i only say that cause zander reminds of a movie, but i don't think that was actually the name, and wesselhoff sounds like it might be some german dictator)

[GinToYura]

@cmgreen4 mike lamond lol

[ckyisyourfuture]

now i know why i swoon for husky videos...it's because he looks EXACTLY LIKE MATT DAMON WHAT THE FUCK

[MothaFawkenTeamGS]

@ckyisyourfuture you mean matt damon looks like husky? hahaha ;)

[niKCz1]

i was a bronze level sc2 player 6months ago since i started watching your videos i learned soo much! and im very proud to say that im in plat level now :) thanks husky for your hardworK!!! :)

[ruscour023]

@niKCz1 HAHAHA

[lejb1111]

@niKCz1 ironically enough thats the same thing happened to me.

[ENDXOMEN]

husky..glasses....WTF i never thought him to have bad eyesight

[Mrvoodoochild1]

I was a husky hater for the longest time. he has really improved since the beta and now is a pretty good caster.

[MrRyanholder]

lol, Mikey from The Letdowns looks exactly like him.

[MusicThrower]

Oooh nice interview

:D

[flameshot130]

wow that is his name mike? 0:26

[WilliamDragonfang92]

@flameshot130 Mike Lamond, yeah.

[DjYoungSkeff]

@flameshot130 yes... mike lamond



[RiCHiEboii93]

husky, ur so awesome. im a guy, but i feel love inside of me for u<3

[Nicko93]

this is the reason why I love Husky. Not in a gay way mind you..

[Hamminatorable]

Total Retard Nub dont listen

[lazerbomb]

more likes for this video than views lol

[teknoice]

Thank you for being you Husky! Do NOT change for no one! You are a model human being and a great entertainer, who could ask for more?

[FancyMrPants]

Huge respect to you Husky!

[MrBlahmasah]

Husky is so mature when he needs to be, so used to him being goofy.

[JeRRiiEz]

wheres the girl that sounds hawt?

[hakimESC]

nice!! husky, you get me to starcraft. even that i sucked so bad in original series, i get back just because you made it so interesting. great game so far, love your commentary style :)

[facetubemyassplug]

true fan here. To the future of E-Sports and being a nerd.

[Ucada]

I'm really glad that one of my favourite casters is not just an unthinkable person but totally quick-witted, approachable, reliable and-so-on person. Keep up with it, Mike. I am your true fan.

[Rexrgistyrannus]

WHo else went back to watch Husky's first SC2 cast?

[Akuun1]

Very very good questions and answers. Bravo, Husky!

[petitefrereee]

great interview! great questions , great answers! huussskiees!!!!

[xwhiterhinosx]

420 likes... DUH -.-

[TrierFTW]

I'm drunk... :D

[stalin666666]

i dont watch you anymore. but really thanks for getting me into starcraft 2.

[aierce]

Husky still looks like Harry Potter to me

[TheAlmightyJod]

@aierce No, Harry Potter looks like Husky! :D

[IntoTheRapture]

Very good interview, Husky you have improved a lot and you have always been entertaining and that's what got me into SC

[mescon]

Awesome interview - great questions, and really great answers too... I love how "serious" the scene is - it's not just some basement-dwelling nerds, it's a mainstream sport - or at least we're acting like it is - until it is.

[arystalius01]

husky you RULEEEEESSSS MANN!!!!! YOU ARE THE BOSS

[y2kEveryDay]

husky> everyone

[flutieflakes]

Great questions with really fulfilling responses, awesome interview. Great job guys.

[GameS8int]

Fantastic interview, Bravo chaps, Bravo.

[Daubster]

Your casts might not be uber-pro, but your general approach to the whole thing totally is, and that's what matters. It's nice to see a serious behind-the-scenes Husky every now and then. Keep up the good work.

[helldemon44]

RIP DAY 9

[jeromevrivera]

Keep up the great work with the interviews. Still a huskateer.

[kaze987]

Tastetosis? lol

gg, Husky! Keep up the good work!

[RjazyIsZrazy]

Husky is a boss.

[chasingvertigo1]

great interview! lots of good questions. and good job adapting and working off what Husky said to form the next question.

[k3rm0r]

It's how i always viewed Husky. He's a entertaining caster. It's not something u sit down and watch to learn that much about the game. That's what we got day 9 for(except on mondays. :P), Husky is just overall a fun caster to watch.

[44Tang]

Thumbs up for Husky's great attitude and advice for the community and players :D

[AlreadyBarcoded]

Interviewer: So there is Starcraft 2 drama with casters and players..

Husky: haven't noticed, too busy being AWESOME!

[eleppek]

@AlreadyBarcoded this shows that ESFI asks way too many stupid questions!

[IngoGarza]

This gave a really good insight to what mentality Husky has with casting and starcraft. Big props to the interviewer and for huskies opinions which I share with him .

[nioxic]

husky is one of the few i subscribe to here on youtube <3

Worth every penny!

HUSKY for life :D <3

[SgtScreamD68]

husky hatters gunna hate. ur a boss! pure win my man!!!

[arobbins210]

So much <3 for Husky

[LazzerCurry]

I would totaly buy a Husky SC Tshirt!!!!!

[LoLashe100]

WHO THE FUCK CRITICISE THIS GUY? I WANTED TO PLAY STARCRAFT 2 WHEN I FIRST WATCHED HIS VIDEO....

[arystalius01]

that happend to me too, husky rules!

[SCVspacebubStarcraft]

It's nearly impossible to get into casting...

[ASBoltAction]

@SCVspacebubStarcraft No it's not. You cast some games and then find your local LAN events or whatever and show them the video. Just like a job. >.>

[SCVspacebubStarcraft]

@ASBoltAction Accualy I've been looking for any LAN events nearby and didn't manage to find one within 300 miles or so. Also i do cast games, it's just not very much viewed as it's very hard to advertise...

[ASBoltAction]

@SCVspacebubStarcraft Time to email the owner of a LAN event 300 miles away with some of your videos. :P Plan shit.

[SCVspacebubStarcraft]

@ASBoltAction When i meant 300 miles or so, i meant within my country and the neighburing country as well, so i guess unless i am a milionare and afford to spend around 600-700 GBP on transport, there are no damn LAN events

[TheKiddJr]

A video of you casting a game was the reason I started playing SC2 :)

[D4vidko]

jesus you really talk a lot :-O

[UberCrankyGB]

Go husky go!

fetch the great game! :D

[Gilikman]

Day[9] and Husky are the best thing that happened to E-sports, imho.

[Triarii3]

@Gilikman only right after the casting archons!!!!

[HDQuakelive]

@Gilikman Day[9] and 2gd tbh

[SSStylish198]

@Kevmo7 LOOOL probably yeah...

[pboytrif1]

click anywhere in the video timeline. husky is always talking

[SimonLKJH]

SC2 caster = Football caster. Same thing. Get over it kids.

[DeeJtH3V1rus]

I love Psystarcraft too!!!

Anyways, Husky is pretty baller, he's done SOOO much for the starcraft and e-sports scene, it's pretty cool. And yeah, He's def. a lot lest technical than people like day[9], but there is nothing wrong with that. Husky just makes it ALWAYS fun to watch, and in fact when he casts with day[9] they complement each other very well, my fav casting pair :p

[sit001]

I actually completely disagree with Husky being less technical than other casters. Sometimes he can miss fights (but always ends up being hilarious afterwards) but is very in-depth with his analysis of the games and does great! Gogo Husky!

[Jedibling]

Great interview, really liked it

[KaZ66612]

one of the tags is:  huskystarcraft idra. it makes no sense to me

[vermin69surf]

OMG his hair is actually decent!!

[Nemesis000000]

@vermin69surf Yeah it's odd he looks like some kind of human person
