Day9 just announced on Reddit that he will be doing a series with Purge. Looks like the Day9 Daily is back but for DotA 2.

/r/dota2/ went crazy with hype. What do you folks think?

I used to really love the SCBW dailies, and early SC2 aswell.

I was still occasionnaly checking the dailies, but in time, all I ended up seeing was a fat lazy dude playing Hearthstone, and giggling to himself.

This move looks very opportunistic to me. Don't like it.

This is him talking about starting Dota a few months ago. He seems quite passionate about the game

I don't see what's wrong with Day9 getting into the dota scene, why the negativity? Personally I'm pretty happy to see this happening. I guess he needed a new game to be involved with, seeing as that RTS he was working on didn't work out for him.

Ive always been a big day9 fan, and I think it's great that he is broadening his horizons. Let's face it, SC2 was a big letdown (but i still played aboit 3000 matches), and the DOTA scene just keeps growing. I think he sees an opportunity for his career AND he genuinely likes the game. Nothing wrong with that.

Lemme selectively quote what you said to make a point that's completely different from yours but still speaks to the answer I'd like to make to your question:

"...the dota scene, why the negativity?"

Boom.

Honestly this is what interests me most. Aside from when Day9's being heavily strategic/analytical, he comes across as a super lighthearted and goofy dude, which is at odds with the norm of Dota 2 culture. I'm curious to see which ends up winning that battle.

I kinda like this. We need someone in this game who picks the scrubs up and gives them hope. Most good people are a bit elitist about it and while "learn to farm" is often true, it's not really a roadmap to improvement. If day9 gets good that is, but he likely has what it takes.

Day9 is lazy? Granted I haven't watched him in a few years now since I got out of sc2, but good lord he was always insanely busy back then

Oh, please. Committing to making a regular dota 2 content in 2016 is opportunistic? When he's already got a big following in hearthstone? That's the opposite to being opportunistic. He could jump at Overwatch if he wanted easy money.

Seriously, people will try to find something negative about anything,

Yeah, I don't see this as being very opportunistic for Day 9. He could have easily done some content like "Day9 learns Overwatch" or "League with Day9" which is a safer bet to net views than if he jumped to DotA..

There are some valid criticisms people can have of day 9 but labelling him as a fat lazy dude seems more of a personal attack than anything.

Love Day9, so I'll probably watch a little every now and then, but I don't think watching a 2k player learn will be fun for long, even if it is Day9.

don't think either of those games are his style, and he did try learning heroes of the storm, because, at the time, blizzard.
it's smart to be opportunistic. he does this stuff for a living and his brand has fallen out of favor for a lot of his older viewers who did not follow him to hearthstone.

it doesn't matter if it's his style or not, im sure his brand is probably more recognized than starcraft itself sadly. he'll get the traction playing just about anything because of how well established he is.

Well it is personal but I mean his show is very centered around himself. If you don't like a comedian (or what he became), you probably won't go to his stand up.

As for an attack, who am I to attack Day9. Can you really attack someone when they have no clue of your existence. Imagine an ant, somewhere, calling me a lazy dude. I couldn't care less. And this ant meant no harm, she simply has been watching me, and dislikes what she sees now.

That was basically my post.

Also I don't try to be negative, I'm just conveying the negative impression his content left me with over the years, altogether my doubts on this particular move.

Basically this, too. I wouldn't say style, I would say... league?

I mean the guy is born and raised into starcraft, he breathes starcraft. He IS starcraft. And he was (seemingly, I'd imagine) willing to put a crazy amount of prep work into each dailies, which were presented brilliantly. The guy is brilliant, knowledgable, entertaining, interesting... I don't know, bold. This was very humbling, thank you Day9.

And then, fast forward quite a bit, all I see is a fat lazy dude playing heartstone (I don't mean to hammer it, it's just... to catch up with my previous post). Where is Day9.

So yeah, put this new Day9 into a gender he was not raised in, well, I don't know. I feel like this is just a variation of Day9 play heartstone, now Day9 plays Dota2, tomorrow Day9 teaches you how to cook. I am not hyped.

Sorry for long posts, just felt like clarifying. I wish him the best anyway, probably without me.
