He was making A+ on multiple accounts a season for a while on PGTour and talks about going up against A/A- players on iccup on daily 100.

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but two of the Korean GOM commentators are Daezang and Oversky who were badass SC1 pros (Oversky maintained a 50% win rate while playing for Air Force ACE).

Overall I would have to say Day9 just because of his dominance in so many WCG's however at the moment, because he is still in school and not doing any serious gaming, I would have to say Artosis.

Oversky also won WDT.

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.


To be honest I don't think Day9 ever was A+/A on iccup... I might be mistaken and I love day9, but that can only be PGTOur (at best)


You don't think a WCG Champion can break A on iccup... -.-

Yup, on Daily 269 he talks about having three A+ accounts in one season, and being disappointed with himself on that very achievement.

Quite surprised of people saying Artosis oversince Artosis said Day9 is his biggest rival. You guys seem to imply that Artosis can wipe the floor with Day9 in a Bo5

Edit: NVM I didn't know Day9 attends school. So Artosis def. has more practice hours than him...



Day9 is Artosis' rival from Brood War. Day9 isn't progamer material in SC2 unless he starts playing again.

As for Brood War, they're probably equal after so long, but Artosis' mechanics would be stronger after such a hiatus.

The answer is Artosis. Day is focusing on school atm while Artosis is only focusing on starcraft 2 24/7. Day was indeed a great brood war player, but so was Artosis.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=69287

Here is a link to the TSL 1 qualifiers in spring of 2008. Notice that Artosis is ranked B+ which is nothing to sneeze at. Day is also ranked B- with only a fraction of the games that Artosis played. If Day played more games he would obviously be ranked much higher.

Day was a great player, but Artosis was also very skilled. At the beginning of the iccup and post PGTour days Day started to focus more on school and commentary and naturally his starcraft skill diminished. This is not to say he is bad or anything he would whoop me silly.

Artosis is better at the moment because he is putting more time into playing the game and putting more time into the game in general. I guess we will never know who is the best until when or if Day starts to put more time into playing the game. Day may have been ranked top 200, but I also remember Artosis being ranked very high up on the Korean server before he started commentating GSL.

Artosis most likely right now. Day 9 is a dark horse, nobody knows because he plays on a super secret cereal covert smurf, although I have no doubt that he is in Master's and given proper practice could probably do incredibly well. The guy is incredibly smart. iNcontroL is not really a full commentator right now, but when the NASL starts him and Gretorp will most likely be second and third. Tasteless is most likely rounding out the top 5.

After that I can't be bothered.

I picture Day as the sleeping giant of SC2, that some day he will come out of nowhere on the competitive circuit and just crush!

I believe the answer is Day 9. If day 9 decided to come back to competative gaming he'd wipe the floor with 99% of the foreign scene you can't put a price on the exsperience and machanics that guy has and don't forget most of the casters are failed players thats why they've gone down the casting reuite

Artosis has so much passion and love for the game he's casting and training until he gets a break and gets into the gsl thats probley why he took the job in korea to be at the centre of the scene and to become better

Psy, hands down.
No offense, but Artosis is a terrible player. He is low/mid masters.
Psy can match most pros (hes beaten everyone on team ROOT as well as many other professionals) and plays at the high masters level.

LOL

Before Artosis stopped playing he was a GREAT player. I am sure now that he is practicing again he will become good again.

Its Artosis, only caster to qualify for GSL. Nuff said.

This shouldn't even be an argument. Day9 isn't at top level because of school and Tasteless isn't what he used to be play wise imo.

Rotterdam is good, but I've never seen him enter a tourny, so maybe I'm wrong.


Will change in the near future and hopefully I can show you your not wrong :D

Wrong! Artosis is near top masters as he has been playing more lately!

Day9 - though Artosis is quite good as well.

We've seen him beat Artosis in SC1. He beat Tasteless in the SC2 showmatch. Plus he crushed quite a few of the other casters mentioned in SC2 as well, despite not playing seriously.

TLO (iem commentary was epic)
Artosis

InControl and prolly all progamers that commentate and play competatively at the same time are around the same level skill wise.




+1 has to be TLO.

His interviewing skills are so good as well. He picks out extremely techincal things that i haven't heard any other commentator pick up. His questions are around timing etc, he almost tells the player what they did wrong in question form.

Love his work.
