There is just so many people that actually dont understand the premise of proving shit, and that's why there are useless arguments going on that sounds sane and good AT THIS MOMENT, but that is not Proof. Tyler made a good post about this in the SoTG thread - people just see it differently and those that dont understand will think that IdrAs arguments are not only good (because they are if you think there is nothing beyond how the game is right now) but actually true - which is impossible to prove at this point.

Anyway, AWESOME read and grats Sean! <3 you man!!

People who flame day9 (someone that's been on the scene for what, 10+ years? He's an institution, not a teacher) for not being 100% correct everytime are people who want other people to think for them. You have to use your head. Day9 (as well as everyone else giving tips or explaining their play like Idra) gives inspiration and makes points, you don't have to follow that word by word.

Use your head and enjoy the trip

Day9 already gave us so much part-time and from the next week he will be doing Starcraft FULLTIME. Imagine that...Crazy! ^^

ps.: Hopefully he will have now the time to produce the Daily #200 Special - A day in Day9's life and the Daily #300 Special too.

pps.: And hopefully we will be able to see Day9 PLAY some SC2 and entering some tournaments (one can always dream...!)

you can definitely be a good commentator without being a pro but if you want to be a hardcore analyst, being pro or post-progamer is essential. why do you think oz, kt, skt, cj entus, etc. coaches are all former pros?

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.

Wow thanks for the link, I love Day9.

Some interesting info there:

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.

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.


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.

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.

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


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.

both IdrA and Day[9] arguments are really tip-top pro (knowledge and skill-wise), their opinion IS allowed to be different.
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)
