I Loved the 3 videos of day9, when he said it was hardcore analysis, and he just conclued after 2 hours that less than 6 units / minut from a protoss player mean colossi on the way... It was just hilarious... All you've proven here is that you don't know the metagame? | ||

Dec 2010, it's not that old but at this time, when a protoss take to gas mean he won't fast expand when now May 2011, protoss who take 2 gas may mean the will fast expand. This is amazing how the game change so fast xD | ||

I enjoy him as a caster and as an entertainer, but from this and other recent observations, I'm beginning to see what other pros have said about him having lost his edge in top end game analysis. It's not a fault of his beyond that he doesn't play at the pro level anymore, if he were to get back into playing, I think he'd be able to bring more to the table in relation to this. | ||

I really love how Blizzard has been appreciating pretty much everybody who works for SC2. It shows that they aren't completely heartless jerks, even if the end goal of the corporation is money  | ||

I have nothing but respect for Day[9], not only for his great analytical skills when it comes to SC, but as a genuinely awesome personality in the SC world. Also, concerning the StoG discussion he had with Idra, Idra has good points, but it was still "venting" about the difficulty of early scouting with Zerg. Day[9] was not arguing that Zerg didn't have a hard time with early scouting, he was simply trying to emphasis the importance of avoiding an "___ is imba!" line without having a thorough discussion and analysis of the problem in the context of a incredibly multifaceted game. In other words, I don't think he was saying Idra's idea was wrong, just that his conclusion was a bit hasty - at least for Day[9]'s liking. Props for a scientific mind User was warned for this post because a mod had really bad aim Edit: Is it just me, or does it seem like the guy below me should have been the one getting warned... especially since the Warning PM I got said it was because I "copied and pasted" it from another site...lmao mod edit: you are correct sir! | ||

I don't think anyone understands that he has a niche following and doesn't really appeal to the mainstream. He basically just fits this role of super pumped nerd that loves to hear his own voice and ideas. As long as day9 is a main caster only nerds will watch. Tastosis has a lot more mainstream appeal than day9 / anyone. I can't stand day 9 at all, when he first started doing shows (sc:bw) and had maybe 100 viewers it was okay but the ego is really affecting him and he honestly thinks he is better than the pros in these tournaments. He's like secretly super insecure too and at every point must mention how much better he is than X. User was warned for this post | ||

Try to formulate your feelings in your own words. And to be on topic: I liked this interview, Day9 does a lot for the community and it's nice for Blizzard to recognize that and give him some publicity. | ||

The argument on SOTG wasn't rocket science; it involved incredibly basic knowledge that any person with any amount of logic could come up with arguments for. What's even more hilarious is that tons of non-top level Zergs flock to go against him just because IdrA said it, when they hardly hold any of the "credibility" they hold so dear in the first place. Playing at a top level is not synonymous with understanding the game, nor are they dependent on each other. Why bring it up in a topic purely dedicated to an interview of him? I really love how Blizzard has been appreciating pretty much everybody who works for SC2. It shows that they aren't completely heartless jerks, even if the end goal of the corporation is money So you just said Day[9] disagreeing that Zerg cannot scout is indicative of his lack of incredibly basic knowledge. That sounds quite unlikely. Perhaps he's just incredibly biased and will never admit that anything in SC2 is any problematic at all. Or, as I believe, his hands are tied. Whatever he says, thousands of his fans will spam on forums ad infinitum with no real understanding of it (whatever you may believe, his shows are mostly geared towards low level players who don't know the game well). In which case he should stick to doing his dailies and casting tournaments and not appear on serious shows like SotG that are supposed to discuss real issues with the game... he just destroys any discussion to be had with laughing and trolling etc I mean, day9's own brother called the show just to say he agrees with Idra. | ||

Day[J] is in grad school right now, and is going to graduate in a few short weeks. His thesis is under review. He went to undergrad at Harvey-Mudd I think for math. | ||
