Now that I think about it, perhaps I should not play in Micronesia, as it is a country named after a skill in RTS games that SC2 has effectively killed. Perhaps the Republic of The Gambia instead.
Micromanagement -> Micro <- Micronesia
You think this is a significant similarity?
BTW your attitude stinks lol
Blatant sarcasm and harmless reference to what is generally considered (by western standards) to be an obscure country fail on my part then I guess.

To be honest I'm surprised you're doing so much SCII. I thought you would continue doing BW with something like 1 beta cast a week. With BW you know the game so well from years of experience and that shows itself in very insightful commentary, I'm really missing that I mean, SCII isn't figured out. There's no such thing as high level play yet because everyone is still in sandbox mode, so I don't really see the point in commentating on it while BW is still right here with players like Flash. But I guess this goes back to what I said earlier, that the point of the show is changing.
How so? From what I've gleaned by watching the Day[9] Dailies, it's about teaching the noobier (i.e. expansive) portion of StarCraft players how to improve their game, augment their strategies and to be wary of sneaky plays depending upon their opponent and/or map selection. It is true that the SC2 Beta is ever-changing, and so will tactics & strategies; the Day[9] broadcast still offers in-depth insight and general "rules of thumb" despite the Beta factor.
Just because Korean players aren't making bank on StarCraft 2 yet doesn't mean players should ignore it. In fact, the headstart that the more competitive folk get on the rest of the herd is a much bigger boon for players than analyzing the StarCraft of yesteryear; it may break the hearts of many, but StarCraft 2 is geared up to be the new StarCraft of e-sports and it's here--not just to stay--but to grow.

Well, in the same idea having unit status indicators on allows us to see things like energy, unit hp, spell effect, energy of things like Orbital Commands, Queens etc which is far more useful for spotting units and other stuff then graphics on low.
But Day[9] will be Day[9], its pointless to tell him there are better ways.
Hey Day[9], first of all I wanna say that I love your cast and VoDs your are awesome.. okay, enought of that
Next thing I want to ask ya is, if it could be possible that you take some Chinese and or Korean Stuff fore some casting action? I would love that, maybe someone else would to see that too.
Hey Day[9], at the moment i'm having problems viewing the vods properly, they lag or just hang up sometimes, and don't buffer properly. didn't have issues before, and streaming on other sites workes fine.

and yeah my post above with that youtube video should also underline the fact that day9 does very well know what high level play is even in the fairly new starcraft 2 which gets updated quite a lot and that his analyzes are superiorly useful than those of any casual starcraft 2 streamer. (nothing against husky, hes funny and shit but not quite the same class as day9)
