Day 9 took a very long time to get into diamond (I remember him mentioning finally getting into diamond) when he was practicing with the likes of Jinro. Check the Day 9 archives. -- day9 vs Tasteless matches in beta. Day 9 has master's level mechanics and obviously great game knowledge, but in the heat of the game his decision making is poor. And he also seems to have a love for bad compositions he thinks are cool and playing random. So he's more interested in having fun than making a run for pro. How is Artossis "way better" than someone you've only seen play in the beta? And the whole "finally getting into diamond" is because of not having enough time to play. Do you really think someone who's been A on iccup and pgtour is not able to play SC2? Also, using beta videos for proof isn't really legitimate proof. Look at any other video from the beta, everyone was pretty bad by today's standards, even the pros. | ||

Day9 is a mistery, i can't believe how many are saying it's him, no one saw him play. Fanboyism at its best. I dont believe its fanboyism you dont have to see someone play to have a pretty sound base for a argument for that player. We know day9 was a good player in sc, we know hes a master lvl player in sc2. We know he plays random which usually gives you a better understanding of the game then just playing one race. As a caster he seems the most knowledgeable. Now since artosis seems to be the only runner up. You look at the facts we know about him. Got into gsl 1 and came close a couple other times.(not to mention he made it into gsl 1 when the actual league round of 64 and on was terrible games for the most part) However that was all with zerg he has recently switched to protoss. Which everyone knows will decrease your playing level for quite some time because all the small intricacies of a class takes the longest to learn. So we really dont know his skill level anymore. So imo between the 2...it'll come down to what races day9 gets vs artosis if they did a best of 5. If he gets zerg it will be in favor of artosis imo since he knows exactly what works vs zerg. however ever any otehr race would lean to day9 and it just depends how good artosis got with prot Tasteless' skill is also unknown but i assume he's bad cause of his limited build / strategic knowledge when commentating. not to mention his bias towards rushing | ||

He got into diamond late because after the countdown party he couldn't even play for like a week because he was so busy. He started playing and I'm assuming the same thing happened to him that happened to every other high level diamond player from beta(which he was): he went on huge winning streaks and took forever to get promoted. I happen to know for a fact that he was in the top 200 in NA around the time the game came out. | ||

I think the question is: Does Day9 have the talent to use with his genius brain and become a dominant sc2 gamer. If he can't execute all of the brilliant ideas/strategies he comes up with, then he'll be limited in how far he can go. | ||

I think TLO is currently the commentator with the highest play skill level. His commentating with Rotterdam at the IEM finals was both informative and entertaining, and he continues to be a crazy-good Random player in many current tournaments. Unlike other commentators, TLO is in-form and still produces great results despite not commentating as much. | ||

Is that why he isn't in the competitive scene? I thought that he just didn't want to be.  | ||

He's always improving, Altought I didn't liked the passive style he used in the video showing him trying to qualify for GSL vs a terran who went mass Thor, he's a good player and knows what he is talking about. Barbu.255 | ||
