Day[9] made a lot of Brood War analysis videos in 2009-2010. At first his Daily show was all BW, then he started making SC2 videos with a few more BW videos scattered inbetween, before transitioning completely to SC2.
I have compiled the BW videos here for convenience and to bring attention to this resource, particularly for the newest wave of players who have not stumbled upon this gold mine.
I've been just re-watching these lately. The Day9 Daily introduce me to BW and I've gotta say - after getting from F/E level to D-ish I appreciate the casts so much more. The amount of knowledge condensed in one daily is simply astounding, as well as the love for the game. I'm looking forward to seeing more Day[9]'s cast on BW and I'm pretty sure we will see at least a few in the future ^^
Does anyone remember the person who put like a ton of dailys into a torrent for the bw vods, a long time ago. That was awesome i wonder if anyone could do that to these, i would very much love to have these on my comp

I wish he did it with more broodwar maps, like after the fighting spirit daily omg i understood that map sooo much better and all the games i watched with pros on FS i was like "OH! OH! day9 talked about this!" be great for me to understand more of these OSL maps coming up, i dont play as much as i use too, so hence i dont play on the newer ones =(

Oh really? Awesome thx man! i remember getting daily 100 from a friend, and always wondered how he got for his ipod, but he moved away before i could ask him. He probaby did this yay! ^^ tyty
Thanks bro! More stuff to do while waiting for D3 . I was actually thinking before about watching these but I never had a chance to start, but now you made it so convenient.
Very good idea. You should also include a link to his podcast threads as they were basically the precursor to his webshow and contain some very good ideas.
I've stored all the videos now so they're safe from the upcoming Blip Apocalypse. If anyone else wants a backup, you can use the script on the bottom of page 1.
I'm sorry to be that guy, I have respect for both communities, but any SC2 daily viewer watching these, would INSTANTLY notice how much more Day9 was excited for, in awe of, and emotionally involved in BW than he is for SC2.
I was kind of looking for it, so the difference was quite stark, but he talks about every detail like a wide eyed 12 year old for BW, in SC2 he kind of gets this monotone analytical voice and talks about doing pushes and says ETC a lot... you don't see him spending a lot of time in BW replays @ 4X speed.
^_^
<3 Day[9]
EDIT: Oh, btw, #45 is one of the best games of BW ever played, even though there are a ton of those there. This one struck me as super interesting.
Also, I heard Sayle talking in some of his proleague casting that there is somewhere compilation of non-starcraft (basically, after-bw and non-sc2) day9 talking. Anyone know where it is?
Oh man I loved these and I still do. Thanks for making it easy to download them all :D. I wish he would do another as a tribute lke stevewch said even though it wouldn't be 100% the same.
Ahhh, I remember these initial dailies. I watched him every time and generally stopped watching when he made the change over to sc2
I still love watching sc2 live and I like watching the streams, but I can't get behind the tournaments unless tyler is in them for no reason at all that I can think of. Just the analysis in his BW dailies was over the top and I still remember his analysis of Hiya vs Flash vividly. So intense and amazing.

Sorry for the noob question but, how do I use this script? Is there a firefox add-on or 3rd party software I need to get or something?
Thanks!
If all that python scripting / movgrab stuff is too complicated, download http://jdownloader.org/download/index , quote the original post and highlight all the text & press ctrl+c. Jdownloader will extract the urls from that copy command. Then you can right click in the link grabber tab and then press "Continue with all" or individually select which ones you want with the "Continue with selected package" option. Be warned, all of them combined are about 21 gigs in file size.
Oh boy thank you! Now I can find the daily of him doing analyis of my shitty bw play!! One of the most embarrassing moments of my starcraft career was day9 making fun of my macro on a daily <3
I watched all these live and a few before these that as far as I know weren't saved as they were just test runs before going official. Shoutout to the 150-300 people that showed up for the first few test runs (remember type in yellow if anything is wrong in with the stream). Fun times indeed even though Day[9] was seemingly two hours from sleep deprevation induced comas for a lot of them. oh and a big reason for watching the dailies was the excellent Artosis and Day[9] podcast discussion the power of Terran Mech in TvZ, also recommended listening for those days.
Anyway seeing this is nostalgia central (thank you OP) and makes me hope and dream that if there is a definitive final game or series of BW that Day will take a break from SC2 and analyze the shit out of it. BW NOSTALGIA WEEK WHERE ANALYZING TAKES 2 HOURS BECAUSE OF REWINDING AND MORE RELEVATIONS THAN ANY BODY HAS ROOM FOR.
Nah, if anything Sean gave up on BW, and to be frank I highly doubt any new dailies he does on BW wouldn't be nearly as insightful as the first 100 BW dailies for the simple fact he just doesnt play BW anymore or stay up with any meta changes
Im afraid the only BW dailies we will get are the ones we already have. Great shoutout to the OP for conjuring up the list!

Same for me. I watched almost all the BW dailies and stopped watching shortly into SC2. His passion for BW really comes across in those videos.
Thank you for compiling all day9 bw vods, because of him i started to understand the game and play much better, with this knowledge i was looking broodwar at completely different angle and make the game much more interesting, thank u and day9!
That Free vs Hogil game (daily#6).... Just so fucking beautiful. Thinking about how such a game is only possible because of how passionate they were, how well they prepared and how much they cared about the match, to create such a complex masterpiece that isn't even overly showy, but is just really well thought out and outside the most obvious RTS conventions... I dunno :3 There's many games like that, but that one got me thinking and the way day9 pauses at such key moments to really let you think about just how much is happening at every instant is so cool even if you could never hope to prepare such a good game in your own free time.

Gotta echo this. I watched the BW dailies whenever I could, but the SC2 dailies just don't feel as informative or interesting to me!
I actually fall asleep to these dailies every night and have done so for a few months. ^_^ I love the story about Dane and his super long BGH game at the end the episode 50.
"Oh man, shoot, if I hadn't lost those Carriers earlier to Red I would have won! gg dude, nice game." "Get some, faggot."

Still remember how happy he used to be when the live viewers were past 500. Nowadays, he just wants to get stuff over with hastily and would take many breaks in between games.
Nice list. I've watched them already but it's about time to watch them again. I enjoy Day 9's BW dailies far more than his SC2 ones even though I am a huge SC2 fan too.
I'm so glad you bumped this purely for the fact it reminded me that the BW TvT I really loved was Flash vs FBH on Neo Moon Glaive. I knew it was Flash, but I couldn't remember who he was playing in that specific game.
Hey guys, was wondering if you remember in one/two of his earlier Day9 Dailies, he had technical issues with his casting software or something and he just played this hilarious music which was made more hilarious by his exaggerated motions as he tried to fix his replays and stuff...Do any of you guys have a link to a YouTube/anything of that song? I seem to remember the title of the song was Hit and Run and I couldn't quite figure out what the artist was though...Red and Stinky? Red and Stimpy?
I loved back then when he would actually use his own replays sometimes. He really felt like a real person. Nowadays, does he even play Starcraft anymore? Thanks for the MSL link too. I always rewatched the korean vod every March. Now I can rewatch in English!

I think he plays sc2? I know I don't really watch the daily's anymore and haven't in a long time. He got a lot more casual friendly in sc2 compared to bw where I remember learning so much from his dailies. Hell I made sure to watch it live every time .

Is playing Starcraft really a requirement for being a real person?

I feel as though I'm a little less real since I watch SC full time.

I agree when I listen to him cast bw he seems so artificial.

Never seen the daily, but the artist name you tried to come up with popped an old cartoon name into my mind - Ren And Stimpy. Sure enough, Hit and Run was listed on the show's soundtrack. If that's what you're looking for, here ya go

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.
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.
Okay fam we may have some troubles. Blip is shutting down and with it all the vods. To my knowledge all of day9's brood war dailies are only on Blip, do we need to organize a save the vods effort?

Is there anymore sources of these dailes available through streaming? I cant torrent them atm but streaming is fine for me, i wish day9 would just upload them to youtube.

What's amazing is that his BW dailies are still highly educational because it's actually the same game, whereas his SC2 dailies are based on completely different playing fields with units that don't even exist anymore etc.
Just like Bobby Fischer's chess books are still relevant, Day9's BW dailies are still relevant. I love this timeless game.

This popular mobas tutorial will become useless in few year, while all bw work will still be useful
I cannot wait to have Day9 turn to the love of his life, and I really cannot wait to see his shows again. The SC2 ones were very inspirational and very informative.
