This is his DayNine account, and he has a different smurf account he ladders on.

lol... you don't get to A level on BW ladders with koreans and then just lose all your skills. Once you reach that high level you keep all the key understanding of sc.

This. For one weekend we get to see the best players outside of Korea duke it out at a lan. Instead we have to watch a noob who shouldn't even be in the tournament for an hour in terrible games whilst missing all the pros. All the pros are playing no-name opponents right now. I'd rather watch this than a one-sided slaughter. Getting raped by a mmm tank army in about 4 seconds and then losing a macro game where for 12 minutes T's pressure consisted of exactly 1 hellion with no upgrades is pretty much a slaughter.

Regardless of what he used to be, he would get raped just like HD did if he would even dare try. I agree, but Day9 would have enough talent to be a VERY good gamer. That's the point!

If he told people everyone, he'd get 1000 B.Net tells because people would create lists of players with XYZ rating in spreadsheets and analyze the match history until they figured out who it was (like you were). You saw how pissed he was about giving away personal information... it's the same thing. Very weak argument.
I'm pretty sure that Day mentioned once in a daily that he was matched up against Gretorp on ladder. If this is true he can't be that bad.

Don't waste your time saying anything that is contrary even in the slightest to the Christ figure image that people have of Day9 You can say whatever you want...but if it's incredibly f'ing stupid, expect people to call you on it. I essentially said you can't be good at a game you don't play. That says nothing about your potential to be good at it

Better with Zerg than Day9? You must be dreaming.
Edit: Just to let you know that Day9 used to be one of the best NA players in SC1 and he regularly analyses SC2 to the tee. It's not like his sc1 skills disappeared into thin air.

HD lost the game because he didn't make roaches, which is fucking bizarre because he put up a warren and got speed, so what the hell? He probably thought that he could hold off thors with neurals, which he might have done if Spades attacked about half a minute later.

HD lost, aww.
But at least he had the balls to play.

I have a great idea. How about we stop arguing about something completely irrelevant and enjoy/discuss the games being played without so much negativity. Thanks~

Don't waste your time saying anything that is contrary even in the slightest to the Christ figure image that people have of Day9 He still had just shy of 200 apm, pretty good. First game I really thought he'd take it, but that a-moving bling lost him the game. Then I'm not sure if he knew how to counter thors... Infestors are a bit risky tech route imo(tho if he had had parasite a bit earlier, that push would've not looked as good atleast), rather than going ultras or mass roach. But still gg, he didn't get wtfpwnd atleast

I don't think Day9 would have casually, almost dismissively, said that HD makes 'standard RTS mistakes' if he thought HD could beat him.
I'm not hating on HD, I think he's pretty cool. But Day9 is a pro turned caster, and HD is a caster trying, admirably, to learn more about the game.

nooo, two unknowns playing
