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. | ||

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. 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. | ||

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. | ||

Don't like it. 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 | ||

Don't like it. 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, | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
