In that case, this entire thread may as well not exist, since the OP's opinion that Day9 is a saint are no more realistic than my opinion that he isn't. | ||

I dunno, I met Day9 IRL and he seemed pretty chill to me. Did he have a good personality and sense of self? of course, you need that if you're gonna be talking / commentating for a living. I don't think he's got some sort of mental illness though. Day9 is a nice, normal guy. | ||

Do you really think 3 years ago at harvey mudd he was thinking when he was done with his degree, "yeah, Esports, that's where the moneys gonna be, I gotta get in on that action"? Streaming wasn't a big thing. Monetizing esports content wasn't figured out. Thinking he got into it for the money is a pipe dream. Is there financial incentive to do the daily now? He does make money off it, but he started the show because he was passionate, not because he expected to make money off of it. As I said, I personally don't know if he ever planned on making this much. I can almost guarantee you if Starcraft 2's foreign scene was anything like BW, he wouldn't be doing his dailies for the community. He cares about the money. Is he making profit from casting, dailies, subscriptions, etc? Absolutely. If he didn't care about the money, he could dump every penny of profit back into tournaments, etc. I'm not trying to bash him, as I think essentially every single person would be doing the same thing, but people honestly thinking he's doing this strictly for the fans are just silly. I can't comment on his attitude as I don't know the guy. | ||

Now everyone jumps on the bandwagon and searchs something bad about Day[9]. He does not deserve this. He does this for so many years and all of us have already enjoyed his casting or dailies. Did you donate any money to him? The great majority did not and the great majority did not even pay a single dollar for any of his conent. But you have to critize that there is the option to donate for him and that he is earning too much money. What? | ||

What difference does it make though? There are thousands of coaches in professional sports who never made the all-star team or won a championship. Does that make their opinions invalid too? Heck, Phil Jackson was never even the best player on his own team yet he's one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time with 11 championship wins. | ||

If he didn't care about money, he'd donate the rest to tournaments or so after his standard expenses. First, how many people donate their money to a charity organisation "after their standard expenses" instead of buying TVs, cars, gadgets etc. anyway? Come on, throw the stones. Second, he in fact did use his money to get the After Hours Gaming League started. He did pay the prize money out of his own pocket at least for Season 1. Edit: Just saw your next post. I'm not trying to bash him, as I think essentially every single person would be doing the same thing, but people honestly thinking he's doing this strictly for the fans are just silly. I can't comment on his attitude as I don't know the guy. I know where you're coming from, but I think there's not only the options of "doing something out of charity" and "doing something for money". I think there's also "pursuing some activity because you love to do it and trying to somehow live from it". On a sidenote, I believe that most people would be a lot happier, if they took the latter approach to their lives  | ||

Personally for instance I find his casting mediocre at best, his dailies don't draw my attention and most of his contributions to sotg appear rather poor to me. But so what why make such a big deal out of it as if it would take away something from your own opinion on him. | ||

In a thread full of dumb posts, behold, the dumberest. That's like shoving a camera into a stand up comedian's face and, if they don't immediately launch into their routine, calling them a phony asshole. Day[9]! Why can't you be excited 24/7?! I don't wanna hear any shit about 'downtime' or 'being an actual human being not a fucking dancing monkey'. If you're not constantly in a state of joyful hype, you're obviously just faking it for money. How could you. | ||

AHAHAHAHAHA You are the one making the claim that he is a narcissist due to your armchair psych evaluation. When there is no evidence, the default position is NOT narcissism/greed/ulterior motives. Do you know how evidence works? Guess what guys, You say you have ten years of psychology experience but I think you are actually a bear from outer space based on absolutely no evidence and 10 years of space experience and both of our opinions hold equal weight! | ||

He probably wouldn't invest as much time in the dailies which would've been impossible anyway since he would have had to work. And you really don't know what he's doing with the money maye he only makes 30k$ for himself and invests the rest or maybe he takes a majority of the money it's just speculating. | ||

Day[9] is probably a pretty nice guy IRL - I've never seen footage of him acting like a douche - but his financial situation and the whole donating thing seems a bit shady. Not enough to warrant criticisms of his psychological state (seriously guys?) but enough to warrant a little bit of scrutiny. Starcraft fans, Know that this day, we have uncovered the Day[9] Cocaine trafficking enterprise | ||

Lol epic counter. Might use this one of these days. On topic. there have been more testimonies from people working for Day9 that he is a good person than those who dont know him personally. So I guess that counts. | ||

I do agree though, This thread may as well not exist Yes, the burden of proof is on everyone who claims they know anything about Day9 one way or the other. However, nobody here is qualified to give that kind of proof, because nobody here knows him. Therefore, why should my assessment of his personality be any more scrutinized than that of someone like you who comes in with one-liners supporting him? It's a thread, in a forum, full of opinions, and I gave mine based on more evidence than the majority of posters here. | ||
