My point here is that I think a lot of people aren't exactly hating on Day[9].

I think a lot of us have noticed a change in his demeanour/personality.
Now witness their attempts to fly from tree to tree. Notice they do not so much fly as plummet.

Day9 can be a little hard to read sometimes. I don't think anyone, except people who have met him and dealt with him personally could hate him. Anyone on here can't really hate day9, he is a nice person, I don't think I would care if he made a million a year, that would be awesome, and I would trust how he would invest it in esports, or if he didn't and blew it all on video games I wouldn't care, he's a great ambassador for esports and I think he's just a great cool guy. But, there are a few things that more bug me about him, just like the trend on the daily being made more um, relaxed and less "hardcore, as he puts it himself. And how Idra says he makes people who disagree with him look bad, which did remind me how he treated Idra in the MLG's after their balance debate on SotG last year.

I guess there's a few things that more bug me about it, rather than hate him and I think just hating him is a little presumptive. I do however dislike the idea that someone in the community is untouchable, everyone should be open to criticism, but I do think a lot of the hate is undeserved.

Idra stated Sean was a nice guy and played Devil's Advocate concerning his financial gains. Not including him, if I had only two people in my life who disliked me, I'd be pretty happy. Unfortunately, no one is liked by everyone. You don't have to hate him though.

That is not the case here, eventually more people will man up like 2GD and tell people how he behaves like a diva at live events, if not now then maybe in a month or in 6.

Again, where does he say he has never been rude? Where does he say he has never uttered a nasty thing? He uses explicit language, he's spoken unconventionally about sex and he's cried for half an hour on a webcam. We're not dealing with a saint. You confuse professionalism with being phony in every sentence you write in this thread.

You are speaking on this without even knowing what people have said about him, you are trying to have a discussion without having all the facts, this doesn't make sense to me.

Aren't you also having a "discussion" "without having all the facts"? I don't understand why so many of you will go out of your way to try to hurt someone who has given so much to eSports, like him or not.

At the end of the day, every one of us is left with a choice when it comes to our time and money: watch and support the things you believe in. Posting shit on /r/starcraft and on TL probably won't change anything about you, or even the person you're trying to bitch at. In the end it just makes the rest of us look bad, and I am getting sick of being associated with all the jackasses and hate-mongers out there that feel the need to shit on people in the community.

So basically you're telling all of us to stop complaining about things we dislike because it won't matter? ... makes me wonder why you posted this.

I think you're pretty arrogant to think that people criticizing e-sports should be stopped because it associates you with them. How often does someone come up to you and say "Oooh you like e-sports... I heard about that community, they're all jackasses, ergo you are one".

People criticize things they are passionate about, it happens, not only in e-sports and it's fine.

That is not the case here, eventually more people will man up like 2GD and tell people how he behaves like a diva at live events, if not now then maybe in a month or in 6.

We live in the present and must discuss the present. If and when we cross that bridge, we shall discuss it. To hold a man guilty of something that hasn't been said of him yet is irresponsible. We can't have that now, can we?

The way he behaves on his camera doesn't match the guy shoving hands in people's faces or behaving like a diva at events, that's all.If you want to keep being ignorant then so be it, i don't really care either way.

If that's even the case. Plenty of people have said that they like him as a person.

The whole: "e-sport suicide" could just be said to strengthen his own opinion, should no one else agree with him. He can then always play it off as "being afraid".

Not saying it's true, just some food for thought.

You've heard conflicting reports about his attitude at live events, why do you trust 2GD over the many other people that have worked with him and spoken well of him in this thread? Are you a huge 2GD fan or something?

You don't even have all the info, all you are going off of is what you heard from 2 people (Idra said hes a great person etc, not sure if you even watched his interview).

In fact, 2GD didn't even say anything bad about Day9's personality, just that hes well off (in a passive-aggressive, childish way, but SirScoots tore his ass apart for that so I won't get into it).

I'm really curious what your motivation is.

Unless you provide an adequate reason as to why it matters that people behave differently off camera then you need to go away.

I am giving you the benefit of the doubt and agreeing that all the evidence presented against Sean Plott is true. Why does it matter? You seek to spread the truth about him. I have accepted it. Now, why should I hold it against him? I ask you, do you expect him to be perfect? Has he stated he is perfect? Has he said he is incapable of anger?

I suppose my point is: why do you honestly care if he has a few moments of rudeness? No one can be professional one hundred percent of the time.

I am going of what i've been hearing for a long time, i don't have the patience to go get every twitch vod link, because it won't be needed.

I was a huge fan of Day9 dailies, but I have been not watching them for two-three months, everytime I try to, I wonder why he doesn't analyze as much as he did in the good old dailies. It seems to me that he is not putting effort at all. Like if he is surfing his own image, because there is no more need to do his best, because he has already made his own character. But I can be the only one thinking this . Oh well

Do you want to execute him now, or shall we wait for the rest of the evidence to surface?

By the way he generally portrays himself on his daily, yes, i expect him to be a perfect human being, the nicest human being in the world.

I've never followed Day9's dailies and I don't follow talkshows like SoTG, nor have I been a particular fan of his so I think I can be a little more objective than his fans or haters...

Personally he seems very self-centered and so on, but no one is free from flaws. Also his "GM in every race and being able to compete with progamers" is bullshit to me, and I wouldn't put him on the same ground of Artosis or Rotterdam for analysis.
But his casting is quite good, he manages to be excited without forgetting the analytical aspect of the casting, so why not?

About the money I'm someone who agrees with Cloud's opinions, but rather than disliking Day9 for getting money it's the system that should be blamed.

Probably he wouldn't get the same hate if he stayed a little more humble.
One hater is an exception, two are a cohincidence, three or more probably have some ground for disliking.
