My take on that :

Day9 is getting old(er), he's running a company, a show. He's (passed?) not trying very hard, he's here to have fun and try to understand / mess around the Dota2 philosophy. More than gaining MMR.

I mean he says it himself : "I couldn't care less about MMR" (I think it was during the game where Purge forgot to actually be a coach and went on to play with Day9 instead). And I believe those words are genuine, he doesn't look to be trying hard to me.

Just have a good time, and "improve". Not climbing the thing as fast as possible.


Except he's made a goal last week to get 3k pretty soon.

that's not a real goal. He's almost 3k with 58% winrate. That's just "play a few more games".
A goal for improvement needs to be something specific to focus on.

What? He's already 3k. I saw it on stream, he had 3042 mmr when he showed it.

Day[9] really needs to hide his username and like the name of the people he matches against, especially when he's trying to play heroes like Bounty Hunter.

Blitz is coaching day9 for mid right now

It's been really insightful so far actually, even higher level players will probably get something out of this mid lesson if anyone is interested. (I don't think day9 is going to understand the concepts very well lol)

Can't wait to see Sean putting his Purge-certified Dota knowledge to work at TI7!
Can someone please explain/how water falls with no rain?

Just watched some of it live. Man I feel sorry for Sean for having such a clueless coach. He should be going over pro or at least high mmr replays with someone who actually has useful insight into how dota works - playing with and against super clueless people while being coached by someone so ignorant seems like a recipe for disaster.

Are you referring to purge or blitz?

Neither are top tier pros by any stretch of the imagination, but blitz is high 7k and purge is somewhere around 6k afaik. More than enough knowledge to coach a low 3k player like day9.

Purge did a tremendous job segmenting and bringing content to all the segments. He is a good listener, he speaks well. Very structured. He proved to be a very good teacher.

Just imagine this series with... I don't know, RTZ, EE, Sumail, Dendi... ? I mean, they sure are very knowledgable, but what matters is how able/willing you are to transfer that knowledge.

That said, I wouldn't mind any of these 4 as "special guests", like Blitz did.

Yeah, I think any problems with Day9's advancement is mostly linked to the fact that he really only plays one or two days a week. I always feel like garbage when I do that.

I agree. I think he doesn't play enough and that's part of why he's stagnating just barely into 3k. He can't really go up at all anymore doing only 1-3 games a week. He's stuck in the 50% win-loss cycle unless he's stomping some normal mode but those matches are largely jokes. His ranked win % has sort of plateaued for the moment. He needs to do like 10 games a day every day no breaks stream for maybe a year or so before a lot of this advanced stuff will sink in.

A lot of his coaches are giving him amazing advice but its advice I'd be giving to a 5k to move up to 6k. Sean needs a much more watered-down basic version of these mechanics because he still has glaring errors in those areas.
