That would be because TL is a specific niche demographic that favours analytical high-level casting like Day9 and not play-by-play casting like HD/Husky. It's not a hard concept to grasp, TL are a minority audience that likes particular things. | ||

It's not a hard concept to grasp, TL are a minority audience that likes particular things. Spot on. There are a growing number of people who are more into the entertainment side of SC2 and not the strategic side (i.e they are casual players who like watching other people play more than playing themselves). I have been more of the latter category for a while now and I appreciate that Husky is probably one of the best casters for pure entertainment value. I watched a lot of Day9 vids for a while and I enjoyed them when I was playing but I just cant be arsed to sit through an hour of him talk about strategy now. I am ashamed to admit it but I actually get more enjoyment from watching high level players play awesome games with a caster keeping me entertained in the downtime than the strategy stuff or playing myself. For this Husky, HD and more recently Psy do this. To get back to the point a rough guess would be that 40% of people who bought SC2 know about TL. Husky and HD serve a wonderful purpose in putting out real high quality vids (even 720p looks really amazing) regularly that are usually very entertaining. This is awesome for the casual player with a basic understanding. That is what their success is down to I believe. Day9 has been around here for a long time and is respected, but I feel that there is a lot of disrespect towards Husky n HD from TL members. Husky and HD have done more for the future of SC2 as an esport than most people realise. Btw I am mid Diamond player who plays a lot of 3vs3R (I was top 100 in the world for a few weeks) but I got busy so I couldnt play. I understand the strategy side but I dont find it that interesting anymore. The future of esports lies in entertaining casting and HD and Husky's SC2 vids are addictive. | ||

Day9's ability to do incredible analysis, play-by-play, color and filler and seamlessly switch between all of these just owns everyone else, hands down. He is simply the best. | ||

Tasteless superior to anyone, Artosis second. I did like HD & Husky at their tournament but they get boring, not enough energy nor passion. | ||
