i love Day9, he's awesome, but Special Tactics is much more directly relevant to esports than the trumpets. Special Tactics is something recognized by anyone who's playing Starcraft, while Day9 Trumpets is more relevant to people that are familiar with the daily

While this is just for shits and giggles, let's be serious for a few seconds. Special tactics has become part of our gaming lingo and is often referenced (almost every time Whit-Ra plays) at loads of tournaments. "The Trumpets" was a fun little moment, but no fucking way is it more ESPORTS than the PapaToss' tactics. Vote for White-Ra. For Love. For the Motherland. For ESPORTS. *sheds tear*

I remember watching the Day 9 daily with my roommate. We had it up on the tv, learning to be a better gamer and enjoying Mr. Plott's antics. Now we had another roommate. He was fucking annoying. And you know what the most annoying thing about him was? That he played the mother fucking trumpet. God damn that thing is annoying. So when Day9 did the trumpet bit, my god, it was the most hilarious thing I've ever heard.

Special tactics are great, by Day9's Trumpets are clearly the most esports thing ever.

Agreed, I don't see how the trumpets represent Esports more than Special Tactics that it's used EVERYDAY somewhere on a stream or forum. Twitter fans are brainless.

Lesson in argumentation: swearing to emphasize your claim is not an argument. Please replace with a preferably witty argument, thank you.

The poll is so incredibly close. The one time where your vote actually counts! So hard to choose.

I would really love for someone to just try and explain to me how "trumpets" is ESPORTS. Just a few lines will do, preferably without referencing day[9]. Because I am convinced that nobody will be able to and that this entire poll is just a popularity contest in disguise. To which point you might as well ask "Which of these SC2 celebrities do you like the most?" and get the same results with the same controversy. The saddest part about it is that the intention of this thread was good, to see what people jokingly associated ESPORTS the most with, it was only the community's childish reinterpretation of the poll as a stupid popularity contest that made it lose all its appeal and what little notability it had in adding to the lexicon of esports. Disappointing to say the least.

Special Tactics go far beyond just White-Ra. It's something we all use from one time to another, no matter what race or even game we play. Special Tactics is more than Starcraft. It's eSPORTs. Special Tactics got my vote.

Lesson in argumentation: Informal fallacy - straw man - he didn't claim swearing was an argument. He was indeed just emphasizing his argument. It is still there if you remove the swearing. And by the way i was going to post what he said (except the swearing). So +1 to what he said.
