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.


Day9 was never a pro. Get real, haha. Day9 was never seen as a good player. He had a really gimmicky style. Also, he doesn't play SC2 at all. At least HDStarcraft tries to compete and hang in there. Even if he makes basic RTS mistakes, he can still win as SC2 is an easy game.

He is only popular because of Day9 daily. It's really sad to see that all these people new to SC think he's some really really good player.


Once again I ask, who are you?


That guy? Yeah he's 'temp banned', ell-oh-ell. And just in case he's reading, I played Brood War for 5 years.

I think it might be time to let this topic finally die. It's not like it even matters.

That was before Koreans started playing iccup, right? Also, any top foreigner could dodge their way to A-. See at all those TSL laddering. A lot of players that are way better than Day9 never were A-.

Day9 is popular with noobs. I don't want to hear from all these people that are new to Starcraft because of SC2 that Day9 is good. He stopped playing 1vs1 RTS in 2007. How is he any good at SC2?


i totally agree. and look how funny that day9 never dare to show his real rating, especially considering his 'self-loving' personality. if he is any good he would love to talk about 'i am the no.10 in top 200' all the time.


Actually you're about as wrong as you can possibly be. Day has said numerous, numerous times he doesn't even like releasing replays of him winning because he feels like it's rude. In his earlier BW dailies he'd only cast his replays on rare occasions because of that fact.

who makes a spire and then never makes mutalisks?


You would prefer he suicide mutas to 9 thors?


He thew down the spire even after he saw Spades had a thor. I don't think you understand the point i was trying to make.


Incorrect. The spire was placed before his lings scouted. That in itself may be a mistake but ultimately irrelevant to your point.


Then why not cancel?


Sunk cost? Just because a building isn't useful now doesn't mean it can't be useful later. The utility of getting those minerals/gas back < having the future flexibility.


Making a spire when you see your opponent going mass thors is silly. He could have thrown down the infestation pit at that point and utilizied his neural parasite tactic much sooner.


You get 75% of the cost back which is 150/150. Basically one infestor; three roaches; etc. Not worth it, and once again, the utility of having that flexibility far outweighs having that money, especially when on three bases.


1 infestor and 3 roaches would have helped him more in that match than the spire would have. I understand what you mean by flexibility, but the outcome of the match voices my opinion.

1 infestor OR 3 roaches And HD had roaches in the end fight, notice how they died? I understand that you're wrong.

Besides, your original quotation was asking who makes a spire and doesn't make muta. And the answer is anyone with a spire that scouts mass thors. Can you stop arguing against literally every single person now?

Seriously how does anyone know? Vods, replays?

HD is a cool guy props to him for fighting strong.


Well, he played in HDH1 and did a showmatch versus tasteless, at those times he wasn't that bad. I know this was a loong time ago, but still, I think he definitely is a potent player. Thats my opinion.

Look people this is all speculation. No one here has really seen what day9's level of play is right now so stop all the bickering and let's just enjoy the tournament.

people has to 'praise' day9, and need to pursuade themselves day9 is good. or else, people will be panic of 'omg i spent all my 1000hours listen to this guy??!'. that said, casters are usually smart enough not to play in the tourneys just in case that could ruin their career. same goes to any other sport, casters/commendators of premier league are mostly retired soccer/coach etc.


So funny when the inevitable backlash to Day 9's popularity comes from people who don't know shit.

Once again, this proves that every zerg needs to stop saying marines counter banelings.

godly BW pro-clare micro'd marines do in fact beat an a-moving unit. Believe it or not.

So unless you're at Clare's level, stop saying EL OH EL FOXER JUST BUILDS MARINES.

maybe you are right, maybe day9 is lying^^ who can really tell? i just hope people stop saying whos better one another since we have no solid data to compare.

Ends-means reasoning? Well, I never.

Get out of here with that garbage.


Tell me. How did the Spire help him out in the match. You talked about flexibility, but the fact of the matter is that the spire was never utilized and was basically minerals wasted. He would have performed much better if he had canceled and replaced the spire with the infestation pit.
