I strongly dislike when Day[9] gets into lying/exaggerating/fake mode where he mis-describes the game state to try and add drama. It always seems to take away the drama for me. I always feel more intense about a game when I know the game is actually close or when one player is really up against the ropes.

Instead we hear about how Select has 3 bases, one being the gold, 4 Orbitals, and 70 SCVs. Then we see Dimaga's new finished 3rd, he's 20 supply down and Day[9] says things like "Select doesn't to let Dimaga get too far ahead on resources". Dimaga.... too far ahead...?

GG from DIMAGA, I hope SeleCT can 2-0 his way through the whole bracket for his birthday, what a great gift that would be

Select's position after the bunker rush made the entire game an uphill battle for Dimaga.

Hopefully a better game 2.

Who's picking which games we watch anyway grrr
