Should he learn magic? Be more intelligent? | ||

also, he thinks day9 should refrain from doing dailys like funday monday or newbie tuesday. i totally agree on the 2nd point, after like 1-2 funday mondays its lost its appeal, and i havent bothered watching a full newbie tuesday yet. the top lvl analysis i enjoy greatly tho, so i wish more of these would appear again. | ||

I think he's saying that all these shows of variety (Funday Monday for example) aren't of his liking and would like Day [9] to resume a more in-depth analysis daily. I guess he feels that his dailies are becoming more "Look what I found" than "Look what we can learn from this replay". That's my understanding at least, though I don't entirely agree and perhaps I misunderstood. | ||

Of course there are some funday games that can somewhat keep the fun even though the players are worse than imaginable(Uniden) but still I have doubts regarding the selection process: the overall quality of games cannot be that bad?!(the games are selected by a group of people for Sean, right?) And Newbie Tuesdays, well they are okay. The amount of people playing SC2 that go to the category newbie is huge & so although I consider myself to be at the very bottom, only like 5-10% of Newbie Tuesday content has been of any value to me. I do prefer Day's straight up pro-game analysis but I guess he'll have to do these unless someone else steps up to really help the hardcore noobs. The old SC community has never experienced something like this- a huge influx of total beginners- so the situation is hard to understand at times. Again for those who don't know: when people came to BW-scene they got through the very first stages by themselves - search function, youtube, proleague, Liquipedia later on. The pyramid is way too big at its other end so we can't (IMO we maybe could) just show the people the route but big contributors like Day[9] have to act like goddamn Gandalf and guide these little hobbits the whole way. Worst thing is that now new people expect to be pushed up the hill and also be entertained along the way. Just something to keep in mind for those whining about FM and NT. In my opinion Dailies would still be more entertaining than TV even if it was just trumpet dance for 50 minutes. In my opinion you are expecting too much from one guy if you want it to be super in-depth analysis, revealing a hidden pro-secret or a new imba-build every time. Is it the new attitude InControl just spoke about on SoTG ? I dunno, this is all very confusing to me. | ||

That's my understanding at least, though I don't entirely agree and perhaps I misunderstood. That's the feeling I get too from reading it and I really agree with him. I haven't watched a lot of Day9 but in June I basically watched everyday I could. It was awesome. Now days I just don't watch anymore. All these "fun" casts seem to have taken over. If it's netting him more viewers than cool for him. It just isn't the same as watching him go on about some deep thinking in a game. Even when he does get a replay it's more of a "look how cool this is" :<. I guess people just enjoy this approach more than what he used to do. The fun casts are fine, they don't really take anything away. The problem is when they take over completely . Maybe that's his new approach and maybe that's what people want. It's his show and he can do what he likes. | ||

Its because of a few things: 1) The game, while still new, isnt as new as it used to be. What I mean by this is most of the stuff we have seen already. I remember watching the episode about "Eternal Force Field" and it blew my mind, but now most strategies have been displayed for everyone. 2) Exposure, it is so much harder for Day[9] to be the first to bring you information on a new build/strategy etc. There are so many other sources of information compared to what there was 5,6, or 7 months ago. 3) You are smarter then you were yesterday, (Probably). That means your starcraft IQ wont grow as much from watching current Daily as previous ones. Lets say your SC2IQ is '1' and watching a daily increases it by an average of '2'. After watching one daily you will get a 200% increase of SC2IQ. However, after your 100th daily you will go from '201' to '203' So you wont feel like you learned as much as you have before. 4) He probably doesnt do as many Prolevel analysis because you're (the majority of his audience) isnt pro. You arent going to learn from watching pro's play as much as you will from watching your peers play and having someone analyze it. Anyways, im sure that i could give you more reasons to get over yourself and appreciate the incredible resources of entertainment and instruction that Day[9] has given us, but by now im sure that you now understand, or youre too stubborn to admit it. | ||

I couldn't care less about how technical he gets. He himself is hilarious. Nothing more enjoyable to me than just sitting down, having dinner and listening to him carry on the way he does. Dinner with day9 is awesome man. His passion and hilarity is what got me interested I only started really paying attention to his analysis after a while. | ||

And what's wrong with watching two bronze players battling it out for 20 minutes (especially when Mr. Day9 is casting)? Are all diamond matches super epic? We wouldn't even have Uniden if it were so... | ||
