Day9 is a huge asset to the SC2 community. Glad to see blizzard recognizing him.

Hopefully this will get those few people who are just getting into StarCraft and aren't regular TL-goers to go watch his show, get better, and hopefully join an awesome community like Team Liquid.
Day[9] made me do it.

Is it just me or does the picture of him up the top make him look EXACTLY like David Tennant?

Who cares tho - I don't see him as a community person rather than a person not able to discuss balance or have a good view on the game.

Hopefully average Joe starts worshiping good players, in stead of commentators, such that SC2 can move into a new phase2.

It really shined through last sotg where IdrA slaughtered Day9 in his inexperience.

Hmmmm...

Day9 is about to finish his master's degree in Interactive Media, which is basically fancy talk for video game design.

Blizzard is noticing Day9's popularity.

What if... Blizzard hired Day9 as a lead designer for SC2 or another RTS? A great game would be created, methinks.

this interview reminds me of when he was going buck wild in his balance/imbalance argument with idrA. my heart said day9 was right but idrA made a good point about nscouting being so difficult

Why do you feel the need to troll a thread like this?

Day9 is probably the most well known member of the community. I'm glad blizzard is giving him some time in the spotlight.

Wow thanks for the link, I love Day9.

Some interesting info there:

Show nested quote +
There are always a bunch of replays the viewers never see that influence the discussion of the replay or content in any given daily. You'll always hear me say things like "he's heading to do X, Y, or Z, but he COULD do A or B," and that is always a consideration for any daily. The studies of the replays not shown are what gives me A and B.
Show nested quote +
When I sit down and start analyzing a game for a daily, I'm actually utilizing the same techniques that I use for improving my own play privately. The only difference is I'm talking while doing so.


I know some people are doubting Day9's legitimacy, and not aknowledging his views about the game. That is quite deplorable imho Even if he doesn't play in tournaments, he has a better understanding of the game than a lot of top players, thats undeniable.


How is it undeniable? He doesn't play anymore, I dont see how you could think he knows the game better than pro players who make a living from the game. Day9 is awesome but some people get carried away

Blizzard don't touch protoss maybe because day9 don't think there is imbalance and they trust him ):

He majored in Math back when he was an undergraduate at Harvey Mudd. However, I suspect that he has taken quite a few higher-level math courses at USC.

I think its really interesting that he selected Dreamhack, and even game 3 as the best game hes casted because I remember sitting down and watching that series of Naama vs MaNa very closely and after it was over sat back and thought: Wow, Day[9] just fucked "killed it." It was probably his best casting. Great pick! Great Interview.
