I heard you managed to qualify for a GSL, yeah?
Oh and Artosis probably.
Day9 just cant have the time to practice that much.

Day9 is getting his masters in Interactive Media - aka that's why in the State of the Game they say that his profs should just watch his show and let him submit that as his thesis =P | ||

There's pretty much no examples of day9 doing really well in tournaments, let alone even replays of him playing really well. He was a beastly sc1 player but it seems to me (and he says himself) that he hasn't been able to put the time into sc2 that he needs to yet. | ||

1. Artosis 2. HD 3. Day9 4. Husky 5. JP 6. Wheat I dont consider iNcontrol, TLO or Idra player commentators, they just guest starred here and there, granted iNcontrol might down the road become a "real" commentator with NASL etc. | ||

It doesn't matter if HD has played since beta, all those players are years behind Day[9]s depreciated skill level. | ||

Joking aside, Day9 has listed himself as a top masters and random on his blip.tv profile so he is higher than I think most people assume. I also remember hearing that Psy broke top 200 ladder in the US a while ago but has not quite made it back. Edit: exact quote High level commentary on competitive Starcraft matches from a 12-year veteran and top player. Day[9] has been rated A+/A on ICCUP/PGT on multiple accounts over multiple seasons, has qualified for the WCG USA finals 7 times, has qualified for the WCG Grand Finals 3 times, and won the Pan American Championship in 2007. In Starcraft 2 Day[9] is a top rated Master League player as random. | ||

And skill is not monodimensional, for instance, Day9 is not the best in a straight up match but his understanding of the game is very good, same for PsY, he really understands a lot of this game, more than most full time pros who just play by feeling it seems. Artosis and Tasteless on the other hand, though probably both better players than PsY have downright terrible understanding of the game ("No way he can save this nexus" -> saves nexus, "This is gg in any minute now." -> games goes on for 30 more minutes, "vikings are terrible on the ground" -> vikings land and obliterate everything) I always found it humorous when people diss Kelly for her lack of understanding, but Tastosis make so many bad calls each match. The guy I'd personally recomment for learning from is PsY though, just slightly better than Day[9] who often tries to sugar-coat and fills his hour up with trivial nonsense from time to time. I agree with the tasteless and artosis constantly making bad calls. I remember when some protoss player was going armor first against terran , and they are going "i am confused why is he getting armor first" then the next week they are saying "oh hes getting armor first thats the way to do it" I thought getting armor first against T was common knowledge unless you start getting upgrades around the time your collosus comes out then attack is just as good. Thats just one example they clown it alot. I do think they have a decent understanding of the game and are good players, they just dont quite keep up with everything thats going on i guess. Theyve probably said "okay its over there is no way he can come back fromm this *guy comes back* so many times, they say it over the most minute details *player loses 4 scv;s* okay thats its its gonna be really hard for him to come back now. I love tasteosis but between the bad calls in game and their bad predictions of who is going to win the match, i just facepalm sometimes. "I will swallow a crooked sword if Sanzenith makes it out of this group". in the up and down matches "if MVP doesnt make it out of this group the world is going to implode" there are countless others they just really need to stop making such bold statements. | ||
