Day[9] is known at teamliquid.net for Day[9] TV which analyzes recent professional Korean Starcraft matches.

Day is known for his deep strategical analysis and energetic humor.
Sunday Casters:
Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski and Nick "Tasteless" Plott
+ Show Spoiler [Show Caster Bios] +Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski was a top American Terran player before beginning his casting career by covering mainly non-Korean online tournaments like Ascension. After casting the Razer TSL in 2008, Artosis moved to Korea and now does interviews and coverage for IEG, the media giant that sponsors the eSTRO professional gaming team. Artosis joined Tasteless to cast Blizzcon 2008 and 2009, as well as the WCG Grand Final this year. Artosis is known as "The Wikipedia of StarCraft" for his comprehensive knowledge of the game.
Nick "Tasteless" Plott is regarded by many as the top English professional StarCraft commentator. Tasteless began his career with WCG USA Finals in 2005, and casted several other live events throughout the United States. In 2008, he became the first English-only caster to move to Korea, covering all seasons of GomTV's TG-Intel Classic and the WCG Grand Finals from 2005 to this year. Tasteless also casted many events for Blizzard, including their World Wide Invitational (since 2006) and Blizzcon (since 2007).

oh man this weekend's gonna rock my world, go ret & NonY!
|
This is gonna be so great, can't wait!
All 4 matchups are so exciting
|
|
|
|
|
these matches are so so so good
|
I really like having the Zerg casters on the Zerg side of the bracket and the T/P casters on the other side :D (artosis/tasteless doing ZvZ commentary was so funny at blizzcon)
should be some great games :D
|
hopefully fenix can pull some crazy shit off and nony can make idra rage.
|
Go NonY !!!!
Best weekend ever.

Woah Day 2 could just be among the most high level games played in the modern foreign sc scene
|
|
|
|
|
JF HWAITING!!!
protoss golden age gogogo
|
Cheering for Nony, and JF!
|
|

Soo glad they have the casters switched. Sunday is going to be an epic day
|
Can't wait to see what Nony prepared for Idra
|
really close matches, i cant wait to see all of them.
Idra fighting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
aw man, saving the best for last
also, valentines day!
|
Ret, Mondi, JF and IdrA for mine.
|
Cheering for Sen, since I like them both but everyone is going to cheer for Ret.
Actually, everyone in the Ro8 are players I'd love to see advance. I guess Mondi, White-ra, and Idra have my votes.
|
Artosis and Tasteless have nothing going on on Valentines? I don't believe.
|
Mondi shall show all the doubters wo is the true and long time standing foreign Bonjwa 
|
 NonY ftw!!!
I'm in Korea same as Dan and Nick so I'm gonna have to go to sleep  ReaL early to wakE up and watch these matches again...but it's totally worth it^^
|
Is this going to be broadcasted live, or from replays as well? Thx.
|
|
|
3 Zergs, 3 Protoss, 2 Terran. Good representation by all 3 races!
|
That's a pretty insane top 8.
|
(To quote chill) wowowowowowowowowoowowowow
Its just too sad that i wont get to watch ret play anything but zvz. If he beats Sen, im pretty sure he will face mondragon... so he wont face a single T/P until finals/3rd place game if he makes it that far ..
|
seriously why are you putting TSL on Valentines day? Man no way in hell you can skip Valentines day to watch broodwar!

I'm in Korea too. I will miss Day 1 because I'll probably be fucked up from Soju/drinking with my GF on Saturday and Valentines morning.
Glad Day 2 (Nony vs IdrA) is Monday morning at 4 AM. YAY

Yeah, I love that it is arranged like this.
Casting Archon doing ZvZ would make me so sad.

Can't wait these games look awesome
|
ret will win it if he gets beyond sen. im pumped. those pairings are excellent!

When are we going to see all four cast a single set of games? It'd be a little cluttered, but awesome.
|
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
Good luck everyone! Hope to see some epic games!

This is going to be so freakin awesome

My parents are visiting on Sunday. They love TSL, but I'm not sure they want to watch me cast live.

All of these matches feel like they could have been at the finals of the tournament. This is going to be an epic weekend!
|
|
|
ugh i really wanted to see ret play some other matchups
|
my god... is ret ever going to get another match up besides ZvZ? Between TSL & his last courage it's really getting ridiculous.. must be so frustrating..
it'd really suck if ret got eliminated without even getting to play a ZvT or ZvP... so sick of ZvZ..
|
Everyone here deserves to go on to next round. Whoever gets knocked out will be missed :-( Epic games coming up!

IDRA FTW come on greg its time to kick some ass =D, its hard to pick Fenix or mondy y would really hate Ret playing ZvZ again but mondy is awsome and so fenix.
i really hope for white-ra to make it
|
|
|
Some good matches incoming.
|
|
|
Nony, if you are reading this,
PLEASE WIN VS IDRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DESERVE TO WIN MUCH MORE THAN THAT BM PLAYER!
I'm a fan of you NonY and I really want you to win. Idra is good enough to be a progamer, but so are you, I mean you played for eSTRO...
Please PLEASE PLEASE make Idra rage and BM in game. "Recalling on top of a T army is a very useful talent toi have" :D

If you played Terran you'd realize how fucking frustrating TvP is. Every seen idra BM and rage after losing to a zerg?
|
I really like the Ro8 players but I'd much prefer it if it was Kolll instead of Fenix. I just feel like Kolll could easily get to the quarter finals or beyond whereas Fenix is going to get owned by Mondi.
Otherwise, despite being a big White-Ra fan I actually hope JF takes it, his play is just so good.
ret or Sen i dont mind, both cool guys.
NonY or IdrA both are fine. It'd be nice to see Idra get there on the one hand but Nony is an awesome player and it'd be a more exciting finals with him in it.
And yeah, I don't like Fenix. Go Mondragon!
|
I think brat is a stronger terran then fenix, and after watching mondi's new ZvT i'll have to go with mondi over fenix 100%.
Nony vs IdrA I see about a 30/70, nony hopefully will have some good strats.
Ret vs Sen i give about 60/40, in favor of ret!
JF will DESTROY White-ra, real money is involved now!!

Valentines Day is a corporate invention. Every VD I sit at home and don't talk to anyone just to spite the jerk companies. Also I'm single

i wish idra and nony were on opposite sides of the bracket, that would be a great final if they both made it.

Go, RET, Mondragon, White-ra, Nony

yeah mondragon !!!
ps: i think chill is the best commentator of all 4 of them. He is at same level as diggity.
me personally can't stand artosis and tasteless, but they have the knowledge and therefor do a decent job commentating.
omfg i cant wait to see and mondragon´, he's gonna rule!!

lol i think i ve birthday tomorrow not today... wtf

Despite the less-entertaining factor of ZvZ, it's still a matchup where the better skilled wins. What would you say for a player who's good in ZvT and ZvP but absolutely bad when it comes to ZvZ? (we actually call them off racers)
That aside, my predictions:
Sen > ret
ret's games don't impress me that much. I've seen Sen played a lot and I know he's going to win this.
Fenix > Mondragon
Although I would like Mondi to win here, his games against Brat_OK looks kinda unpolished. Might be a close game but I think Fenix will take this.
WhiteRa > JF
White-Ra, simply because he's White-Ra. Should be close too.
Nony > Idra
Don't really care.

I hope NonY makes it but I doubt it.

Now I know why IdrA raged at Draco when he used Carriers on Destination.
I scanned the Toss going Carriers and yet I still lost with my crappy goliath micro. It was my own fault, but just watching a critical mass of Carriers flying across your base is frustrating.
|
I am waiting for the great Ra vs JF PvP - those matches gonna be insane. Also NonY will just rape IdrA 3-1 and IdrA is gonna cry how everything is imba. IdrA is nothing else than another turtlish mediocore terran - he is not really that much above foreign players as he and many of his dumnerds fans think. (he still have better chances than NonY, but i really believe!) Nony make something like speedshuttles with hts and storm his ass or some smart carrier strategy developed for IdrA
