that's why day9's role is kinda paradoxical. but that's also probably why his analysis is more catered to the lower end of the spectrum. if you weren't/aren't a sc2 progamer, you aren't going to be providing worthy analysis as a coach for someone like bomber or mvp. but since the audience of day9tv is catered to the general public, i have no problem with day9's credentials. | ||

Some interesting info there: 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.This is true to some extent, but hearing analysis from top players is invaluable. I would compare it to John Madden vs Peyton Manning. Hearing commentary from someone who used to be very good but no longer plays the game is quite different from someone who is in the game at the top level. They are both valuable resources, and some people prefer one over the other. Ragging on either one of them (top sc2 players or top analytical commentators) for a lack of certain knowledge (objective-type knowledge or first-person knowledge) is silly. | ||

Idra: Terran Incontrol: And what race did you play in BW? Idra: Terran People wondering should let TLO and Day9 host the "Imbalanced"-Show. If you're eager to receive somewhat unbiased results in a balance-oriented discussion, random players are the most qualified to do so. But in the end, it's just the dev-team at Blizzard who's actually able to do this, because they can base their decisions on myriads of facts and decide scientifically instead of based on emotions, which is exactly what Idra did/does. | ||

Day9 is awesome but some people get carried away Your game knowledge is not measured by your competition results. If it was, then the game knowledge of Roger Federer's coach would be zero. Stop making this fundamental mistake. Sorry for bolding out, but the point needs to be hammered home with some people. | ||

IdrA maybe acting too childish but he isn't the only good player sharing this view point. Even JulyZerg agrees (that zerg players have to play in the dark) I mean come on, you can say IdrA is just bashing because he is emotional but JulyZerg is also insanely good and his comment about the current zerg is also extremely negative. imo, IdrA did talk about this a little bit in another interview a while ago. He mentioned chronoboost, mules+reactors and larvas encourages faster aggression, so in a sense, the defensive player need to scout better/on the right time in order to defend it off which zerg is not so good at (and this is worse when zerg requires to be responsive to builds) | ||
