Thanks for the MSL link too. I always rewatched the korean vod every March. Now I can rewatch in English! Is playing Starcraft really a requirement for being a real person? I guess if you wanna counter what I said with something silly like that, sure. Don't look at the underlying meaning. What I meant was he seems so artificial. Like he has no interest in the game anymore. Unlike here, where you can tell he loves the game. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong. Either way, I loved old day9 much more than present day9. Though it's not like I'm calling him out, saying I hate him. He's still alright to listen to, I just think he's a shadow of his former godhood. And I'm not even faulting him. 10 years of basically the same series would tire just about anyone out. It is funny listening to them talk about Bisu like that. Funny considering what we know now.
day9 played competifly for around 10 years and than started doing the dailies, he does the show for around 3 years, which is quite a long time already.

I actually completely agree with you; just found your wording kinda funny :p
I'm personally kinda bitter that he abandoned BW and basically refuses to even mention it anymore. But it is how it is.

He has a very successful SC2 brand, a casual base of SC2 fans who don't know and definitely don't care about BW, and connections/relationships to Blizzard who want all of the focus to be on their newer games.
Can't blame him for enjoying being comfortable. And there's nothing wrong at all with that.

It would be really nice though to hear him take a TLS game or set and go through it after Sayle and elegan have done their work. God going to that san diego barcraft to listen to him live cast Flash V Jaedong was so much fun.
I feel like he had a lot more depth in his old "more serious' work (podcasts/dailies). God knows he has been bleeding viewer numbers for sc2 content for awhile. It would be nice if he could throw it into the rotation somehow. Maybe a "roots of wisdom" series idk.
edit: On that note, it might be worth throwing up some of his best BW dailies on reddit maybe 1-2 hours before a TLS cast to try and draw some neutrals in.

In #2 Day9 talks about his previous casts before the daily.
Are those still available?

Casts. Not podcasts I've listened to those.
The only other Day9 BW content that I'm aware of is Nony vs F91 Liquibition and Chill vs CombatEX so don't try that.

I still remember that game combatex took on Longinus so well from the live cast. Was it really years ago?

I'm ashamed that's the only thing that I remember from that series...

Wow thanks OP! Not going to Day bash, feel he's put a lot into the industry and is getting some reward, but this stuff is infinitely better than his current output

To be fair SC2 meta is so damn volitile and stale at the same time that he's doing his best to actually make any sense of it.
I think his recent dailies of how Jaedong plays ZvZ and how Leenock bashes mech in ZvT was actually quite enlightening and almost had that wow, this is genuinely brilliant play from that pro vibe to it that the BW dailies has.
