Does Day[9] actually play starcraft or does he just commentate and analyze? The reason I'm asking this is because in some of the dailies I saw that on his portrait he has the overlord icon and his name is DayNine. I looked his profile up and it seems like he doesn't play any games. He has something ridiculous like a 80% win rate in 1v1, but he's in platinum (probably cause he hasn't played since beta??)

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/999000/1/DayNine/

I'm pretty sure this is his profile.... I remember one daily he talked about zerg openings and he was playing several games on xel naga. He left all the games and when I checked his profile he had several losses in a row on xel naga (customs).


So why doesn't Day[9] play? Or am I just mistaken? I'm pretty sure he talked about how he won some pretty big tournaments in BW. Did he do dailies and stuff back in BW too? Is he just 100% focused on analyzing gameplay now? Thanks

Day9 uses a separate account to do dailies and other non-competitive activities. For laddering and such he uses a private account unknown to the masses.

Day [9] has a smurf account so that he doesn't get spammed all day while laddering. From what I know, he plays random and he plays it pretty well. I don't expect anything less than master league

This seems like something that could have been asked without making an entire thread, but anyway

He has a smurf account which is probably fairly high ranked, but obviously he doesn't have time to play as much as he could. He doesn't really play in tournaments at all anymore since he's busy casting them. I believe he once said on SOTG that he'd be up to playing in a tournament some time as long as he had a long time beforehand to practice.

He's also said that he plays team games a lot just to relax and work on his mechanics.

Yup. Day[9] uses a different (secret) account when he plays for real

You can tell day9 plays because of how much unnecessary clicking he does while spectating.

As was said, he indeed uses another account. The most stalkerish of his fan actually found out his real account by elimination process from things day would say (talking about losing slumps and giving precise numbers etc).

He doesn't play all that much on it either though, but def more than this DayNine account.

Yes, he plays Random. No, he probably isn't in the top 200. Yes, he probably has many smurfs.

There's no evidence that he's in any top 200 list.


That's not a top 200 list.
