Day9 just needs to chill a little. He has a huge fanbase because he can be witty and insightful once he gets into a certain rhythm.
What is hurting his casting as of late is the constant screaming and yelling.

He starts every game with this super annoying "if u want your favourite protoss baller to do well and close this game and blalablalaala give a cheeeeeeer" all the while screaming at the top of his lungs.
There are other ways to convey excitement than to yell in my ears.

Also i feel like his analysis was really lacking to the point where d.appollo said most of the interesting stuff while day9 sounded like a third class holiday rep. "And now throw your hands up in the air and say eeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooo"

Dont get me wrong, i like day9 i just feel like his casting style has really degenerated. Hope he can get back to his former self. A good first step would be to stop screaming all the time.

I actually would like to say Day9 as an analytical caster rather than as a playbyplay or colour commentator, although he prepares well for his dailies there is no doubt that his knowledge of the game is very high. I was incredibly annoyed by his casting bias to foreigners over koreans but thats oke I suppose, its to be expected. What I really want is his analytical skills which he uses in its dailies(again, he prepares for these, and live is much harder then when you time to prepare for it)to show, rather then him doing the playbyplay commentary and try and hype stuff.

Simply put, i'd want him as an analytical commentator rather then shoutcaster.

The issue with having day as the analytical commentator, is the need for a competent co-caster who is able to lead the discussion and create that analytical environment. djwheat does a great job of this, as does tasteless. dapollo is not too great at this imho. his bad use of english (maybe he's not a native english speaker) really makes me take what he says less serious, and he never seems to do much more than state the obvious.. maybe i'm wrong, but that's how i feel.

djwheat is better at leading the conversation to a point of analysis, i never said he's a great analysizer. i know that djwheat hails from fps and his knowledge of the game is rather poor compared to the likes of day9 or tastostis, but he's still a great commentator.

This is a huge part of why djwheat is so good (unless you don't like his voice, which is understandable...) He knows that he doesn't know, and how to involve himself and whoever he's casting with.
