How he is offscreen? I don't know - and I don't care. It's not anything I experience and everything I've seen has been good. The only caster I prefer over Day9 is Artosis (personal preferences, I guess). No hate, however - I think people have every right to dislike him. Especially if they've met him. But there's no reason to strut around spreading hate Edit: His personal finances shouldn't matter to us... at all... The only thing I dislike is the difference between him analysing games and him going play-by-play style. While he is play-by-play he has a very unique way of talking. When he says "...and X-player holds..." or "...and X-player stabilizes..." is somewhat annoying. Again... Personal preferences - and as mentioned. He's still one of my favourite casters | ||

That's the god damn trade off. Unless you've know some people who're gonna finance the scene out of charity then this is the way it'll be. Maybe for every $100 we give to these companies they'll slot 10 cents into an esports endeavor. Not only do I get a product that I would have purchased regardless, I get the satisfaction that maybe, just maybe, I'm aiding something I support and enjoy on a daily basis. I don't have a fucking clue how to make a processor, but if I can buy one that helps starcraft, well, I dig that. | ||

Dude, what world are YOU living in. Learn to read, I never said there were no other personality that helps this industry, because they're all joint, but Day9 has done alot of things for this community and by doing that he's also gained alot of fame not only inside the community but outside of it promoting e-sports and SC2. I can almost promise you that more people know about Day9 than any of the names you put out there, especially the players (sadly). Why do I even respond to your post, seems to me you just wanted to say that there are other people in the industry that does alot of good (which was never up for discussion, because it's pretty damn obvious and not related to this topic). | ||

The OP had good intentions, but the fact that people that have actually worked with Day9 confirm that he's the real thing stands in firm contrast to people's over analysis of bits and pieces of video clips and random interactions. Can you actually determine narcissism without interacting with the guy? I wonder how many that complain about the changes from the early days actually watched it live because there weren't very many of us when we were reaching those first bench marks and being rewarded with thug snaps and Overlord sounds. In this thread I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. | ||

I don't give a damn about orb and Destiny's actions, I find neither situation contentious, both were simply bad moves for people in their positions. Just as a sidenote computercompanies besides Intel don`t support esports that much.If you are talking about Razer I seriously doubt you spend about 2000 usdollars on a gaming laptop considering that you are building your pc and most of the companies have premade systems available.But nevertheless the information is unverifiable [/QUOTE] The post you just spewed is the exact flavour of excrement I hate seeing: unsubstantiated personal attacks on people doing unequivocal good in the community. You are acting as the fuel that burns the bullshit drama wildfire. [/QUOTE] I also hate seeing politically correct corect internetusers such as yourself throwing the word `community` around when most of the viewers form tournaments who keep the sc2 scene alive(that is the tenths of thousands of viewers needed for a tournament to be succesfull)only watch a tournament for specific stars and drama.just watch as the ratings go down when a well known celebrity leaves a tournament.But you don`t care about that now do you.Personally if you consider my post garbage,i consider you garbage also and yes users such as yourself are a plague to the esports community. [/QUOTE] Now personally, I don't watch day9. I don't go out of my way to see his casts these days. But Daily #100 and Day9s earlier sc2 dailies were a major reason why I got into the game/scene and this is something which I'm sure many people coming from a non-BW background can attest to. If you don't like the dude, then just say you don't like him. Why must you go about a full character assassination on little to no evidence? [/QUOTE] You don`t make any sense.You don`t watch him yet state he is interesting and helpfull for the community.This is exactly my point.Who watches Day9?How do you know he is doing good if you don`t watch him? | ||

many viewers of day9daily would feel cheated if that were true. not necessarily b/c day9's advice is bad, but b/c he's using a false status to elevate the legitimacy of his teachings. really hope it's not true. | ||

He thinks seeker missiles are "stupidly good" and likes to talk about mech use in TvP. That sounds more like gold level talk to me. No one has ever seen him play sc2 competitively. No one. His claim that he has had 3 gm accounts seem very hollow if not an outright lie. | ||

Reread your initial post man.You specified Day9 is the most wellknown perosnality in the sc2 industry.Which is completly fake and stupid.All major progamers are more wellknown than day9.The fact that Day9 does good for the community I give him that-he is a grinder and works dayly to put that analysis of his on youtube. | ||

Then I caught on (^_^) I'm an idiot I almost fall for that  but still - the only opinion that matters is from people who actually spend some time with him - there's no doubt 'internet analysts' have absolutely no grasp on facts. Is Day9 making money from what he's doing? Fine with me - if I'll ever want to support him with my money, then I'll try to check what can he do with them. Even if all casts, shows and dailies are made for money - they're still providing quality content.EDIT: and woot - finally I have my zealot ^^ | ||
