Qikz! It was awesome and you need to watch it ASAP. Day[9] did such a good job hyping up what was about to happen, and then explain why what is happening is so cool. You get such a good sense of the players' respective gameplay styles, plus you get to watch a fantastic finals in super high definition. What's not to like?

Watched the first 15 minutes during lunch at work. It's so good to have Sean/Day9 back again :D

Artosis likes BW more ofc but he went from the sewers to the stars due to sc2 so he's not going to bite the hand that feeds him.

What I'd really love to see is overviews of crazy or interesting maps in history and what makes them so interesting and unique. Probably explained through some of the exemplary games on them.

Maps I want include Ride of Valkyries, Fantasy, Blitz X, Blue Storm, 815, Katrina, Pathfinder, Battle Royale, Colosseum, Monty Hall, Troy. God there's so many.

Oh my god. Just finished watching.

THE HEARTBREAK! That series was one of the first series I'd ever seen of Broodwar and this was before I played the game. That finals was the game where I found my favourite player to follow and the style I wanted to learn. God damn that final game felt awful, but it drove me to want to one day be able to play like FanTaSy. That series is the reason I'm here today, no joke. Had I never seen that finals I probably wouldn't have been playing Broodwar since 2008. Damn.

Thank you so much for going through that Day9. Hopefully later they might give you the better finals from 2010! >:D

Loved it! Very exciting games and great analysis by Day[9] of why these two players are so great.

Also, I was wondering if those replays were public by now? Curious to take a better look at the builds of Fantasy.

Replays aren't public, they were sent to Day[9] by OGN.

Such an awesome video. Can't wait for the next one Day9.

That Plasma map looked so stupid. I can't imagine seeing that ever again in pro games.

This was on again last night right?

Also Craig, you may not see it in pro games again, but you can see it in Amatuer games this Saturday! http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/bw-tournaments/526688-clash-for-char-4-sep-16th-1600-utc

Now begins the long (feels longer than it is) wait for the VOD so I can watch!

I have to say, as someone who has attended university lectures for the past 5 years, Sean really hit the nail in the head.
He basically held a lecture with no fluff, the right amount of information, the right pacing, ON STARCRAFT!
It was amazing. All I wanted to do was to take notes, you can feel passion and care oozing from this episode.

Man we are so lucky to have day9 with his intelligence and passion for the game. After seening the first show I would recommen looking into that semi finals series where fantasy beat flash. Those are the games where I as a spectator could most clearly see the trade offs between emphasising micro over macro in key points of the games.

He's going to be doing an episode on this!
