[willmo42]

[DemonRyou1]

How can you play SC2 and not know what Korea has to offer? Lol, congrats on making it all that way.

[LFroberg]

@DemonRyou1 You think every SC2 player knows what handicapped players korea has to offer? think twice dude...

[shootingmen]

[TheAhmadacw]

>3 husky for posting this :D



[zaihtaMHS]

Lol, my friend faced him in a shiny daily yesterday and we thought he just stole the vVv-tag, didn't know this :D Really cool stuff, spectral hwaiting!

[EmmaStoneAddict]

Thank you for the story Husky!

[gregbednar]

If only he would have practiced playing Starcraft 1...

[JustCoopItVLOGS]

Both of your videos about this story are so inspiring. Thank you SO much for sharing.

[TheSoldier1851]

This is an extremely awesome and cool story!

[wEavAs25]

this is very inspiring :)

[rpglover101]

In November? Is there someone who got the VoDs? I'd love to watch it.

[szhrong]

Was he a pro-gamer before the accident or became one afterwards?

[Mrdantheman510]

@szhrong Husky said at the beginning that "he STILL manages to play Starcraft".

[rpglover101]

@Mrdantheman510 That's not a time "still," it's a "still" in reference to his condition.

[Mrdantheman510]

@rpglover101 Still: adv : continuing now or in the future as in the past

[Harm1Harm1Harm]

why thank god for breaking your neck?

[Zeth444]

@Harm1Harm1Harm he thankfull that he didn't die

[antthehckyplayer]

WOAH, i played and beat (:() with this guy in a tournament :o I remember his website pic, it was the real him, EPIC

[willmo42]

Hey big shout out to spectral... I'll say a prayer for you tonight... you make me proud to be a nerd! :D... best of luck in your eSports goals! ^_^

[Hulavuta]

wtf...StarCraft is NOT in the Milky Way Galaxy...

[willmo42]

@Hulavuta your right its in the kaprulu sector!

[JakeCWolf]

A true gamer, one greater then every pro in starcraft 2 and beyond, for his unending resolve to never let himself be disabled.

A big shout out to him to keep on fighting, and showing us all what it means to really be Pro.

[The7thSoul123]

I just played some SC2 holding not using my fingers but holding 2 pens and clicking with my wrist, just to try it. It's doable, am able to beat a computer opponent on medium without much trouble. Micro was terrible though and boxing units was awkward. Huge respect for spectral for being this good!

[PandAgroupinc]

I really do wonder how seemingly every video on YouTube leads to vicious theist vs atheist wars. Is it really so hard to accept that some people have different beliefs than you do? And scratch the theist part- to be more accurate, its more like christian vs atheist. Isn't it funny how you never see people fighting against other religions as they do Christianity?

How about we ignore the fact that Spectral thanked God(for LIVING, not breaking his neck) and listen to his touching story of recovery.

[ThelenShar]

@PandAgroupinc yea probably because Christianity is the "true" religion.

[22015slee]

@PandAgroupinc You know, much more people have and do fight against Judaism (historically) and Islam (historically and for the present) than they did against Christianity. Atheists' favourite target is Islam, and the general Nazi's target would probably both. Christianity is probably the most liked of the three monotheistic religions, and the most hateful as well in average.

[PandAgroupinc]

@22015slee Sorry, my comment should have implied that I was talking about the internet(or simply YouTube) when it comes to stuff like this. I know very well that those who have practiced Judaism and Islam have faced much more discrimination and hate than those who practice Christianity have throughout history. Going back and reading it, I seem to have phrased what I meant to say incorrectly.

[PandAgroupinc]

@22015slee I believe that Christianity has been used more than the other 2 for justifying terrible acts, but that it's message isn't inherently hateful.

[22015slee]

@PandAgroupinc Thanks for clearing that up.

[Greatkingrat88]

@PandAgroupinc The problem with religion is that "the message" is whatever the practitioner wants it to be. If I were a christian, I could go into the bible and find support for slavery, rape, murder, genocide and even communism if I looked in the right places.

[jcjs95]

oh yeah blizzard's games rule

[GentsSC]

I wonder if Husky hopes we enjoy this and wants us to support the links.. Holy shit

[Dry456]

Not gonna lie. teared up like a bitched watching this

[willmo42]

@Dry456 your not a bitch for tearing up... real men cry lol

[MrSybra]

i have tears in my eyes ........... THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME PROUD BEING A NERD/ GAMER/ GEEK !!!!!

[ironsturgeon333]

anyone else notice the " FUCK YEAH OREGON" tag?

lol

[CELLERTOTEN]

this guys strenght ... is inspiring...

[chefaopt]

wow that must be really hard for him to play with only those 2 sticks, i would like to know more about him and how he plays

[DudeGamer8]

"LET GO" well said bro, its so much happier to live life this way. All the best in tourney.

[Xero555000]

lets not forget the all important fact that he plays terran...

lol jk this is actually really awesome

[mjon35]

Jeese. He can play boss with two sticks, and I can't even play good with 10 fingers

[Shin2k09]

He play SC w/ 2 stick , and i can't even play good with 10 fingers : (

[TheCrezyte]

Thats actually... amazing

[baggeghfreak]

church camp...

[urm8forlife]

man he is in masters....

[LionPrimev2]

this is beathiful

[McNistor]

So you break your neck (or back?) and you thank God. Buahahaha!

[willmo42]

@McNistor he thanks God for letting him live... if he had died then he would not be the inspiration he is now... whether he knew he was going to be the inspiration he is now we do not know...

[McNistor]

@willmo42 If I were to maim you so badly that you'd swim in your own blood and then call 911, I guess you'd have to thank me for not letting you die. This is ridiculous. I'm always amazed by how indoctrination kills rational thinking and makes the person accept any crazy idea.

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

- Voltaire

[willmo42]

@McNistor why is this an atrocity?

[delomorganano]

Should stop talking about whether there is a god or not and just support this guy and for how fucking awesome he is.

[Silinrun]

That's badass.

[CanadianImperialist]

Religion = incapacitates you

[mikefreak13]

Gaming is exercise!

[popkorn619]

this proves their is no god. all of you are stupid

[Silinrun]

@popkorn619 God and the Big Bang are one in the same imo. God is not an actual entity with thought and plans but is the still the creator of everything.

[McNistor]

@Silinrun Photos or it isn't true.

[analyticannoyance]

Aha! It appears that Church is to blame for this tragic incident. Church camp strikes again.

[Nzhoofer]

Good on him

[kajekj]

Dat AMP.

[AustralianGaming101]

OH NO THAT GUY BELIEVES SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO ME!!! i must take his belife as a personal insult!!!!!!1111one

S

T

F

U

and watch. srsly.

[LifeWithATouch]

Respect.

[MrsSimonSays]

Yay! What a trooper. I definitely send him respect and admiration for persevering through a difficult, challenging time. Best of luck in Korea, and God bless! :)

[iurhviusdfavhi]

@MasterOfGTA its not the 1400's anymore, unicorns dont exist.

[leonia97]

@iurhviusdfavhi You're an ass.

[SoRusted]

show ho he clicks god damit

[diaboro2]

Why the fuck is this a religious debate?

[onurtugcu]

@diaboro2 Because the video is a christian drama show. Same thing would happen if it was Ali the disabled person who got paralyzed from neck down the day after converting to islam and getting his dick circumsized.

[Aetrion]

@onurtugcu I don't think the news article is a christian drama show just because they pointed out that he was paralyzed on the day he was baptized, I mean lets face it, that's an interesting coincidence if nothing else, and that alone makes it worth mentioning.

Anyways, lets at least appreciate the fact that gaming wasn't shown in a negative light for once.

[crazymoogle]

@StaciMermaid He was baptized before he had his accident, made a remark in the vid. Then unclexbob made a comment that didn't sit right with me and we've been at it for a few days. I'm sorry if our "discussion" is distracting you. D: Please excuse us.

[TheNewbieG4M3R]

i have to say this guy must have some real determination, i mean to play Starcraft 2 paralysed must take alot of skill i can hardly play normally i say well done spectral :D

[bobdole1025]

simply awesom



[Salahuddin07]

maybe be popular in korea, but that life is not even worth it.. its rough

[Cammando38]

Hey Husky why don't you goo out and interview hem

[jstryke78]

i 100% garentee he would kick my ass at starcraft2

[bkim9289]

.... its good to hear his story and how he made it through but really dude ur goona thank god you lived and your only paralyzed... This is what religion is doing.. its sad..

[spitfire9196]

@bkim9289 Plus he got baptized the same day. What a way to welcome him in to the family of god!

[bkim9289]

@spitfire9196 lol yeah you would think he would turn atheist after that.. but they view it as a sign of a test of "gods will" its really pathetic.

[longwave2007]

@bkim9289 God isn't just for the good times. This life is a test of your faith...whether your life quality is good or bad isn't the point and it certainly isn't why this guy became a Christian.

Bless you Spectral.

[bkim9289]

@longwave2007 LOL the reason he is a christian is because his parents reinforcement and repetition to make him into a Christian. Its not his own true belief, you suppress a child when its young so it wont question the belief that was suppressed on to their generation. Its just a sad cycle that just needs to end. Hope that some day your eyes will be open. And if you think religion wasnt enforce on to people read some history instead of a fairytale book that has no evidence.

And dont bless me

[longwave2007]

@bkim9289 I hope one day your mind and heart will be open to God's quiet voice. I was the first Christian in my family so I didn't receive any influence. As for spectral's conversion I wouldn't try to guess what his experience was because it happens uniquely to all of us.

[spitfire9196]

@longwave2007 What about the starving kids in Africa that don't know about god ,yet get punished for this "test". It's really sick if you think they deserve this just to get tested by your imaginary friend.

[willmo42]

@spitfire9196 Ive said this to other people before he thanked God for letting him live... and now he is an inspiration to me... you can choose to let your words blind you if you want or you can see this beautiful story as an inspiration yourself... idk if you are Christian or not... and I am not asking you to believe because I don't even know you, but you should open your mind instead of throwing words out in the open...

[spitfire9196]

@willmo42 I have open my mind, that's why i have out grown my imaginary friend.

[willmo42]

@spitfire9196 why dont you just go write a book on why he is imaginary then maybe ill consider what you are saying

[DrDrolomehet]

@willmo42 There is an invisible unicorn behind me that may or may not answer my prayers. Write a book about how he doesn't exist or I'll keep on believing it.

[Peekayismad]

@bkim9289 shit happens man, its how you deal with it that matters

[bkim9289]

@Peekayismad ..lol yes and if your gonna thank your god your alive and paralyzed... thats highly delusional

[MasterOfGTA]

@bkim9289 Its not about what religion is doing or Christ for that matter, its how u cope with disaster & live with it regardless. I would say he fights for a better future for himself & his loved ones. Where most people would say put a bullet trough my head I can't live this way. So RESPECT Jacob 4 Never giving up!

[bkim9289]

@MasterOfGTA first off he probably cant even hold a gun yet fire one. And having the mentally to thank someone your paralyzed and not dead... to believe something like that lol.. its to mentally disturbing. I didnt criticize how he was living after the accident but the religious remark he made. 

[mrsmileperson]

@Dandelion7777777777 and a sick person that really is sad...... i feel sorry for you bro i hope you one day you change and people might like you :( sad person you have my pity no one should have to think like you

[mrsmileperson]

@Dandelion7777777777 wow look mommy a professional youtube dick!

[Anathor1]

This shows that even disabled ppl can play Terran. Good luck for you dude!

[MrNoobslayer123]

@Dandelion7777777777 you dont know who i am or what i look like yet you say look in the mirror.... im only judging you by youre ridiculous comments and you seem like a sad twisted lonely person. tht or you're a hardcore troll

[Bonkbonk100]

@Dandelion7777777777 The fact that you reply to everybody who has insulted you, just indicates that you need attention, even if it's undeserved and hateful.

I will stop now and just say I feel sorry for your person and attitude.

[Devgru77]

Awesome how he can adapt to the multitasking of SC2. 

[SadSinStory]

Really husky? you say "if he can do it so can i" you think your better?

[jmsnare2009]

@SadSinStory No, it's simply a fact. Husky, in almost every way, (excluding matters of the mind) should be better seeing as how he is not disabled. He did not mean this in a condescending manner and he is not bragging. Please don't try to pick fights where there isn't one as it just makes you look like a dick.

[AzzaradinBT]

@jmsnare2009 That's a good point, but the thing is. he's not saying he's better anyway. He's just saying that the other guy plays more ladder games than he does, and if he can, then Husky can too. There's nothing about skill there.

[jmsnare2009]

@AzzaradinBT I'm honestly not sure what you mean. Let me state this differently so you know exactly what I think. I don't think Husky meant that he was better in any way than Spectral. I took it as a motivational statement. A drive, if you will. I saw it as more of a compliment saying "if he has that motivation to push past all the things that are holding him back, then (since he is restricted by more than the average person) I probably can as well.

[AzzaradinBT]

@jmsnare2009 As did I, and what you were saying was exactly what I meant. In your original post however, you did say he "should be better" and I thought perhaps it was a little misleading.

I was agreeing with you by the way :P

[0FlowersByIrene0]

@SadSinStory He's saying he's inspired him to play better. Geesus looking for a fight arent you

[w0lfalak]

respect for you my friend.

[horekinf]

all of your comments are realy NERDISH! Try to be more empathic!

For me, that guy is a hero! Hes paralyzed and he found Starcraft as his own painkiller. Its motivating him to move his body! Maybe one day there will be a miracle and God (if he exists) will give him back what he took from him: his physical dexerity!!! Hope that someday he will take part in BlizzCon! Husky thanks for posting it! Peace

[horekinf]

@horekinf

it motivates (3rd line) :)

[MasterOfGTA]

@horekinf Where did God take anything from him is what I wonder?

[rhettbutler13]

And here I am complaining that I'm stuck in Silver... props to you, good sir.

[Lndtje]

Additional supply depots required XD

[TheZanursic]

Baller!!!

[westangle]

u inspired me jacob

[Sudstah]

definitely respect this, and its great to see how a game can help benefit an individual in ways other people never dreamed!

[DarrensCouch]

"Thank you God"??!??!!?!?

[TheMonkeyBiscuits]

E-SPORTS FTW

[Chrisevil]

Oh shit, he's APM spamming at the end :D!!!

[anubiscainerosu]

respect man!:)

[bolecdo]

Would be nice if Husky decided to caste some of his games

[6RaFiO9]

RESPECT YOUR HEALTH M8s.

GL jacob

[MrDancelikeamonkey]

much love ♥

[biogenie]

All the best in Korea mate!! :)

[TheKhwarezmShah]

DAT APM! to good this guy keep it up bro! if i had to play like that i wouldnnt even have tried i guess. but i bet he could beat me now :D. gl in Korea!

[888peanut888]

@Dandelion7777777777 not gonna lie, spending hours arguing on youtube is just also quite sad

[gavinthegamerfreak]

@Dandelion7777777777 Jealous of what? Being a faggot? I think not.

[Ultimaterevenge1]

Geeez, Spectral has more APM than me.

[Skjoldvall]

He thanked god for loving him after he broke his neck and almost drowned?

Huh. People are strange

[Destoffeldv]

@Dandelion7777777777 just don't, can't you see the kid is happy?

[Tommax25]

good man

[JolleTheMan]

Zerglings MORE ZERGLINGS

[GhostySC2]

Have spoken to this guy on his stream. It's really good to see him overcoming his disability like this and it's good to see Starcraft is having a good effect on his life.

[failrailtf2]

Gonna get smasht in Korea

[Bigbang14Z]

"reporting from beaverton"

lol, beaverton



[SoulCal44]

A handicapped guy WOULD play Terran... 

[nf1n1ty666]

Could it be that Dandelion is....CombatEX?!?!

[ELMolliez]

@Dandelion7777777777 what up with the hate :S? i just said that its good to have a role model like him, after so much, he had overcome and became nearly a professional player.. if you don't like the video nor the people on it, you are free to not-watch it or at least make a good point why you dislike it... instead of calling someone a retard for just admiring such a overcoming situation.

AND regarding your comment YES i would be happy to become as good as him in sc2, he seems far better than me

[wzy181]

that's encouraging

[jajouji]

Anybody know what league hes in?

:>

[GhostySC2]

@jajouji The last time I was on his stream was season 3 I think and he was in Gold. He could have moved up now though.

[StealthTac]

That guy has determination, I have to say. I can't imagine playing SC2 with paralyzed fingers. Hope he does well in the future...and they say games aren't good for people. >_>

[JohanssonJ92]

@StealthTac only old ppl and morons say that lol :P

[potpie2004]

@Dandelion7777777777 First, I don't look through all the comments to make mine original. But maybe if everyone is saying the same thing you should listen. Anyways, have your fun being the center of discussion. We all know this is just for attention.

[TheIshoda]

I hope he whoops sum ass. Truly an inspirational story. Starcraft 2, giving society something to do since July 27th, 2010.

[Brye1007]

Awesome!

[HellisListening1]

@Dandelion7777777777 I love how you didn't debate my argument. And btw nothing you have said is educational in the slightest. Anybody who has a computer agrees that trolls are sad little peaces of shit there's a nugget of info for you.... YAY! I educated a retard. Also you know you fail in life when you consistently try to point out that your life is better than somebody's on utube when you know nothing about them other than they feed trolls. Now gtfo troll. I am done feeding you troll go away.

[azza943]

This guy vs IdrA showmatch please!

[potpie2004]

@Dandelion7777777777 lol, definitely from the Westboro Baptist Church. While you are busy replying to EVERY SINGLE COMMENT the rest of us are doing something useful. I only say this because "I try to educate sad and lonely sacks of crap like you".

[nexus1g]

I live in Milwaukie, but I didn't catch this story. :( I would have literally pood a brick.

[zergmanrules]

WHY THE FUCK DOES EVERY ONE GET THE SHIT KNOCKED OUT OF THEM AT CHURCH CAMP?

[HellisListening1]

@Dandelion7777777777 What am i possibly jealous about i know nothing about you other than that you troll video's. narcissist much? How is trolling a cripple's video a sign that your successful in life... Also if you think people who play games are losers which pretty much everybody then your a sad old fart. We all play games now now from farmville to Wii to triple A titles there is games foreveryone. And what are you doing on this video if you dislike games other than being a sad sack of crap.

[erikrass]

4:47 GGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[SectumSpempera]

Mad Props.

[masterprivate118]

lol the camera has been modded to use ENB...

Artificial bloom ftw

[HellisListening1]

@Dandelion7777777777 If everybody is calling u a sad sack of crap something is up.

[ELMolliez]

LIKE A BOSS!!!!! he is just a good role model to have

[pandaman10211234]

definitely an inspiration to all

[CooperCarr87]

Holy shit thats THATS Husky? Gross

[TheHagni]

I loved the very dramatic close-up of the scv :p

[Bonkbonk100]

@Dandelion7777777777 I feel sorry for you, I truly do :(

Want a hug? Your mom and dad clearly didn't give you any love as a child.

[FreddyTheCupcake]

On "The Office," Dwight dressed as The Queen of Blades.... Esports is taking over America, one television set at a time

[bye130]

Great news broadcast.

[Mifonerru]

Starcraft should be the only religion in this comment list.
