Dear Day 9,

please first read who I am before judgment.. Well, I am a person almost 30 years old (29 actually) from Lithuania and this is my first post on TL. I've played SCBW for a year or so but never come out of LAN parties with my friends (mostly beating standard AI back in 2000 i believe) before 2008 when I accidentally saw a youtube video of Boxer beating JulyZerg. I cannot describe what i felt then, but as a result i've watched as much as i could of professional SCBW tournaments during next 2 years, not only commentated in english, all jon747 videos etc. After that unbelievable feeling of happiness when you see a perfectly timed reaver drop or terran is faking expansion and then does early m&m push with 1-2 firebats or when you see incredible IntoTheRainbow's shuttle/reaver micro, it is very natural that I've started playing starcraft and this is the point when I've realized how much "those" guys put into it. I'm not gonna lie (day9 (c) ;]), I've never played SC competitively and I've actually had no time to become good at SC1, but here is a tribute part of my message.

I've got a SC2 beta key and I thought to myself - this is it, I'm gonna make my best at this game and I'm gonna love the process. Today a friend of mine, who was a professional Counter Strike gamer and was involved into SC2 beta, cause I've got several beta keys to invite a friend, asked me if I saw a day9 daily number 100. I don't know how it happened that I missed your video named "My Life of Starcraft", but today is The Day when i saw it. I can't find the words to say all that I feel.. it was awesome! Immediately after that video I've changed my skype status to "I love Starcraft, and you know what? I'm very proud of it! [tribute to Starcraft and Day9 http://day9tv.blip.tv ]". I almost lived through all your wins and losses you were telling about in this video. I thought a lot about that family support, about your brother Tasteless and you making your way through world of starcraft, about your personal strengths and skills and man.. almost crying at certain points and you know what? You have a beautiful family, support them and love them in the same way and with same perfect timing (!) as they do, this is awesome. I love many things you're telling about SC1/2 analyzing the game, loved your thoughts about the thinking process of the player, mental checklist etc, really deep things about the game and emotional strength to execute everything, absolutely loved your BGH videos.. there is so much stuff about starcraft and it is great that you're sharing the knowledge.

But back to the point - this day9 daily no.100 encouraged me even more to get good at SC2 than I was before, deep BOW to you for that. And man, good luck and have fun executing your plan of spreading out starcraft community, you're doing really well!

Good Luck & Have Fun!

ps. sorry for my english.
