Does he talk in a low sly guy voice and THEN SUDDEN LOUDNESS and back to sly guy voice while having absolutely zero understanding of the game?
If so, then it's Rob Simpson

Am I the only who thinks Day[9]'s casting this weekend has been sub-par at best? I don't know what it was, but something feels weird every time I hear Day[9] cast. I've actually enjoyed his casting for a long time until this weekend when I started hearing him say things that either didn't make that much sense or was extremely painfully obvious.
I know that Day[9]'s first job is to make SC2 more entertaining for those who don't know what's going on, but I just feel like either something else is going on his life making him cast bad or he's changed his style to a point where I just get annoyed.
I don't know. I'm not usually one to say something about casters, especially Day[9], but I can't help but notice that something seems wrong. He's sick, and from what my friend said from meeting/talking to him for 15 minutes is that he's tired and really just wants to go home. Guess he's had a bad weekend. Poor guy. Getting paid 1000s of dollars to cast a video game tournament and he's too tired. I'll tell my boss I'm tired and I'll let it affect my work performance.
Go ahead, be a worldwide video game caster of somewhat high caliber, work a shit ton of hours for what you love ( i.e. e-sports ) and then instead of being a weak human being like Day9, be a baller and never be sick !
oh wait ...

Cloud Kingdom. Taeja spawns bottom left, Losira top right. Taeja goign for a 2 rax, 1 between his nat and third, one in his third. Losira goes hatch first and immedietly gas pool. Taeja pulls 4 SCVs with his marine pool and places a bunker out of range of the hatch, Losira pulls his drones but there are too many marines and SCVs. The firsty bunker completes and he starts a second in range of the hatch. With the bunkers and marine count Losira isn't able to engage. A third bunker goes up and the hatch dies. Taeja pulls back leaving 1 marine in each bunker. Taeja's 2nd CC completes and he has walled off with 3 baracks. His factory is coming up now. Losira tries to expand again but Taeja moves out with 7 marines and manages to kill a few more drones before they get surrounded. Third CC for Taeja, double engineering bays pumping out 1/1 and he's beginnign reactor hellion production, Losira is still trying to drone up but there are 15 marines moving across the map. Taeja pulls back as soon as his marines are scouted, he forces another 10 lings. Stim and a starport on the way for Taeja as he adds on more barracks. Losira has 2 evo chambers and starts 1/1 as Taeja's 1/1 finishes, his armoury is a bit late but he has begun medivac production and stim finishes. Losira has a lair on the way. Taeja moves his third orbital down to his third and starts 2/2 and combat shields. Losira adds three spine crawlers and tries to take his own third. Taeja is starting to produce siege tanks with +1 vehicle weps on the way. Taeja moves out to pressure with marines medivacs and hellions but the 3 spines plus ling and bane mean he doesn't do much damage. Losira startsa spire baneling speed, burrow and 2/2.
Losira runs by with some lings, they kill a few SCVs but nothing major.
Taeja moves out with marine medivac as combat shields finishes, 2/2 finishes as he reaches Losira's natural and Losira gets some good baneling hits but its not enough, his nat dies for the 2nd time this game and Losira GGs.

Lol, I remember the days where a MLG thread in Team Liquid forum would get close to 900 pages in the last day of the tournament. We`re not even in page 50.
This game became boring. You read every post here and most people complain about ZXZ, ZXT, ZXP, PVP, PVT and even some TXT. And they`re not wrong. This game is really frustrating to watch nowadays.

you know most casters make more than the players, upwards of 3-5k per weekend. And i'll admit, some casters do a shit ton of work while not casting, but not all of them, not even half. Most casters have a pretty fucking ez lifeand make ez money..it must suck so hard to not have a normal job, make more in a weekend than a normal job nets in a month, whilst working in a video game industry, and not needing any special skillset except a good voice and some help from the scene
