err, this seems a bit off the wall don't ya think?

I'm sure Day[9] would let us know if he wished to do this he'll let us know.


Also....

It would be amazing, especially on TED, and I don't know a person that would be better suited to this then day9.

But I do have to ask, does he actually want to do this, or has he shown any interest in this himself?
If yes, then i'll gladly vote.
If no, you might want to consult day9 first instead of just putting him up there.

This is a grand idea. I love TEDtalks and I'll be delighted to see our awesome community presented by none other than Day9.

I hope this idea catches the tide of TL and its grown to fruition.

That would be wicked. However, the email address AND the telephone number of the nominee are required for the speakers' suggestion form. Quite a problem.

In my opinion, the common trait in all those presentations is passion. The subject is almost secondary.

I love TED... hmmm, but I'm not entirely sure thats the correct platform for him - what will he talk about on Ted? I'll vote for him regardless and hope he can come up with something

TL normally does not promote such stuff, but I think here an exception can be made. But, I think day9 has to show that he truly wants to do this first So until then, its just a thread.

Would be weird if this was not allowed. Both Anna Prosser as Miss USA was a thread, as well as that other thread about Day[9] in that youtube-contest(I think it was).

Don't know anyone in this community who wouldn't vote for him, as long as he's down. The question would come down to whether or not TED would allow him. I have always loved the talks on the site that I've had the pleasure to see, but the speakers are typically much more recognized and what not, more so than just a small subculture of e-Sports enthusiasts. That said, if anyone can do it, Day9 can, and should.

For anybody who's wondering, 'Well what if Sean wants to do it?,' I'd say the best thing to do is nominate him anyway. If TED finds the talk worth doing they'll ask him, and it'll just be up to his decision. But I'm filling out my nomination form!

Cool, what did you fill out for his email and telephone number?

You take that back. I've seen TED talks of big ass cardboard thingies that walked all by themselves along beaches (the power of wind). Illuminating a modern and growing subculture is a great topic for TED.

The subject is 100% secondary. Does anyone actually give a shit about double-digit people in Antarctica working on measuring some PH of stuff? Not particularly, but when someone truly cares and is passionate about it, it's riveting to hear about.

Sean Plott is this for E-sports. He would no doubt be a great personality to have do a TED talk.

I'd love him to do it but if he does.. he'd have to devote alot of time into making a very educational and informative for the masses and thats not something I'm sure anyone wants to jump into involuntarily. All the while, a good idea, because hes one of the very few capable of pulling that off.

What would the topic be?

You are right that if anyone would pull it off, day9 is probably the dude for the job.

I'd vote for him just because i want to see someone like him build a real career out of what they love and hes already put sooo much time into helping other people.

Well if anyone is going to do this then day[9] is clearly the one to do it. I tweeted the thread to him so hopefully he will find it when he wakes up as i believe its like 6am where he is.

As for speaking on SC2's behalf in a public forum (TED or another place), I'd personally nominate Artosis. Ideally, I'd have someone be able to speak about SC2 from a position of actually building the scene. Someone who's very familiar with Korea and the foreign growth. I don't see Sundance or Mr. Chae as the best speakers, but someone who has their insights as what goes on behind building the entire scene, along with the 10 year experience of someone like Artosis. Maybe if Mr. Chae was fluent in English, maybe he'd be ideal.
