Loving the discussion right now. It blows my mind when people think that these ambassadors of the game and e-sports are in it for the money, and don't work hard

Nobody is saying day9 doesn't work hard. The whole thing is about how he still acts like he's broke and previously asked for donations and shit but never followed up.

Plus being overly positive is.. unlikeable, in a weird way. Something about the lolsorandom youtube personality tends to rub people the wrong way.

He asked for donations to pay off tuition didn't he? At that time, he probably wasn't earning as much and he needed one more semester or something

Day9/the panel completely ignoring the distinction between getting into esports for the money (which clearly Day9 didn't) and becoming a corporate shill once the money comes in (which imo Day9 has become).

I think as well that clearly Day9 loved Brood War but probably just likes Sc2 and is more in it for the money, not solely for the money mind you. You can tell as soon as he mentions Brood War that it just means far more to him.

Q: Why should I sign up?
A: The community has been amazing enough to give unsolicited donations to help support me and the show. The voluntary subscription allows me the chance to give back to all the kind folks who wish to continue their support : ]. Also, With my grad program finishing up OH so soon, I'll be devoting myself to eSports full time! So, I'll have the chance to turn any income generated by day9tv into awesome projects to help promote and further eSports and gaming :D. Did I mention you get a nifty chat badge?

The subscription revenue, while helpful, only partially defrays the cost of operating Day[9]TV. If you have the means to offer additional support so that Day[9] can continue his efforts to grow eSports, we invite you to make a one time personal donation to his tip jar (or, better still, a recurring donation!!) below:

Have you ever watched any of the old dailies? I'm just asking because you make it sound like you know what you are talking about but then you shoot yourself in the foot. First you say he isn't in sc2 for the money and then you say he is. Which is it?

He made dailies about the first sc2 battle reports before the beta even started, how the fuck is that being in it for the money?

Sc2 took off, the bubble expanded, you know what I'm talking about but something else could have happened. He can make a living doing what he loves now but if he didn't, I'm pretty sure he would still make the daily. Nothing came falling off the sky for him, he worked hard. Now if in your opinion you think he doesn't deserve it or that he isn't doing the most he can for the grow of esports now it's another subject ,which can be discussed if you like ,but when you are somehow acting like you know why he does this or that without knowing what the hell are you talking about it's very infuriating.

So either explain your point well, know what you are talking about or just be honest and say you don't like him.

Lol he said that Day9 got into Esports not Sc2... if you think Sc2= all esports you have a serious problem.
