When there's someone as good as Day9 to co-cast with in the US, I'm sure this won't happen. As it stands, virtually everyone he has casted with has just been filling time/letting Day catch his breath.

There are two kinds of commentator. The Entertainer (e.g. the german HomerJ) and the ingame-skilled based (e.g. TaKe from ESL.tv).

BUT Day9 is an Entertainer AND an absolutly unbelievable ingame-skilled based commentator.

So that's the matter and it's a shame that you have to discuss this.
Don't do this, none is as great as he is. And maybe after thousand threads with this kind of discuss he ask himself "Why I do this?". So plz. stop this bullshit. He's just as fine as he is.

None got the quality of him, that's the point why nobody else is cocasting.

Sry 4 bad english.

I really appreciate everything Day9 does for the community but I really would like to see him work on his co-casting and maybe tone down the giddiness.

I love Day[9] and I'm sure everybody loves him, yes indeed...

He said several times, that his casting is for the community, which is quite noble imo. After this #100 Daily i was sure, he is a boy with so much passion for the game, that the passion overwhelms him. The logic output of this huge amount of love for SC was his personal daily show! I guess thats why i love him so much, for doing straight what he loves with so much real passion! Not this faked passion like from "HD" (sorry but thats my opinion)

But since the King of the Beta event i found another side of Day[9]. First i thought he is totally freaking out because of the crowd ... but since then, he continues with strange behavior.

When he is "co-commentating" i always feel like Day[9] wants to be in the spotlight. He often never ends his part, so that the other commentator has to wait several minutes to say at least one word and then when Day[9] stops, he throws this "ah ah" in, which sounds like the other guy can say what he wants, it doesn't matter ...

Carnac aked him at the Comic Con about "enjoying himself", because he makes every day a Daily. I mean it has to be the combination of having so much passion and "to wanna be on spotlight", to create every day an show! This would be totally fine for me, but his behavior with other casters then JD, is sometimes really bad or am i wrong?



I suggest you watch Poker strategy TSL games..all of them(even though Day[9] doesnt cast them all)Especially the finals and you will see that he doesn't have that much of a problem with co-casting himself...rather this co-csaters can't keep up with him..

Day[9] and Chill best combo ever.


Well, Chill is something else. He doesn't want to prove anything with his casting, he's not waiting to cast, when he has something funny or anything really to say he just does it. People are scared when casting by day9, chill is not. Same with incontrol, I'd love to see that.

I like his cocasts but I guess its not really his style anymore when you cast 5 days a week alone with a webcam. You get used to just say whatever comes to mind.

Also if you have a different cocaster everytime it´s hard to get to know each other and sync the cast better.

Anyways day9 is awesome as a solo caster but tastosis are the best duo I know so far.

Day9 only talks alot because the other caster is nowhere near as insightful and articulate as him.
When it was Chill + Day9 it was fine. Day9 + Wheat is also awesome.

tbh what day9 says is so much better than 90% of any other casters so it doesn't really matter.

its not too bad, ever listen to HoN casts? Breaky talks alot, but when he gives his cocasters a chance to talk, it takes them like 2 minutes to say anything, so you get this huge gaping silence. Its so stupid =/ but ill forgive it cause Breaky is awesome.

Day should hog the spotlight, hes head and shoulders above everyone else in casting out in america. I think the only one who could rival him right now is his brother and maybe Artosis (who really stepped up his casting with the last GSL season)

Day and Chill were a great combo though I found, Chill got his points in and didnt feel either were overstepping the other at anytime


Agree with this 100%, was about to post something very similar then I read this and it sums it up pretty well

Remember that unlike Nick he has only really recently began doing professional and demanding casts in the spotlight.

Day9 indeed tends to speak a lot, but thus far i've rarely seen him paired with a really really good co-caster. They always seem to know less about the game and have trouble finding something day9 hasnt said.

It would be really interresting to see him paired with either Tasteless or Artosis, because they know the game really well and they know how to impose themselves.

If your co casters are DJ Wheat or JP, you should be talking as much as possible just to shut them up.

"You need drones to mine and build things" - wow thanks for the insight JP.

or Wheat spending a couple of minutes asking a question which becomes irrelevant because something different is now happening ingame.

well you guys are making some really good points and i agree 100% that we should not blame him at all, i hope that this will adjust his feet more to the ground.

I think I agree. I love the guy and I love it when he casts, but in my opinion he needs to switch between roles based upon his caster/co-caster. And his 'ah ah' and then total topic switches between what he wants to say are a bit awkward

Still such a great caster though, but there's some room for improvement

They also go off on random inconsequential tangents if Day9 doesn't cut them off on some point. If Day9 didn't cast the way he does, the casts would have lots of periods of just boring less than interesting drivel

djWHEAT can handle Day9 just fine but he is the only one so far. Day9 really need to understand that he isn't sitting alone in his apartment when he cast tournaments.

Can never enjoy yourself too much.


Born to Shine – by Nelson Mandela – Inaugural speech 1994.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

And thats kinda resume what i think... he is a awesome person, but not because he know LOT n LOT about starcraft, not because his manners (wich are great), or how hi share his wisdom... he is awesome because he loves what he do, and isnt afraid to shine... How manny of you got inspired to be better players after watch a few of his vid? (i showed them to some friends of mine who used to hate SC2 and now they are buying the game :p), and i wouldnt be surprised he inspired to other thing ass well not starcraft related, just by loving the game and what he does so much

Day9 is not at fault here, his co casters are taking a backseat and let the guy run them over because they know what he says is 90% of times better than what they would ever have said. They take over to give him a breather etc but most of the time its the co caster that has decided to let day9 take the spotlight and not the other way around.

I modified your comment to fit my view of it.

Day can talk all he wants, Chill has complemented days commentaries well in the past.
