For some months now I've been pointing people to the daily on ladder, at uni and generally just around the place. But it's getting to the stage where Day has put out so much stuff that you can get lost in it. So I thought it would be interesting to survey the community for thoughts on the best of the best- which dailies do you rate above all others. The reason this is in community is as a help to people looking to throw some SC content to people who are new to this sort of thing, as well as to highlight some of Day9's amazing content to those who only started watching recently.
I think it's safe to put the following dailies in the list automatically: # 50 and 65 (BGH fun casts, god I wish he'd do some more of these, they've gotten like six or seven people I know into starcraft)
#100 (my life of starcraft)
#252 (study on mechanics, a-la- the original day9 casts of ye olde era)
excluding the above, please feel free to nominate a daily in the following categories:
Best daily overall: Best analytic daily: Best funday monday: Most newbie friendly daily: Best SC1 daily:
Don't feel obligated to vote in every category. once a few have come in, I'll make a new thread with links to them all and polls to narrow it all down.
There are so many awesome ones. I love the ones where he's so full of energy he's about to burst. The valentines day one, and the funday monday cattlebruiser one comes to mind. Dogs and hot sauce anyone?
To anyone who doesn't find TvT interesting or doesn't understand the subtleties of the matchup, this is truly an eye-opener. He points out so many things that you wouldn't even think of if you were just watching the game alone.
best serious sc1 daily: upmagic v free @ outsider, shit was awesome to see best serious sc2 daily: watch me learn zvt, where he went through his process of learning that matchup best fun sc1 daily: #65, bgh :DDD - epic enough that i knew the number off hand lol best fun sc2 daily: 2v2 of his roomates, also :DDD
So you are saying the best daily can't be from bw? Ever since he started doing sc2, he is not enjoyable or consistently mindblowing. His show is just not informative at all because he is inexperienced in sc2.
any daily featuring the amazing "bluewaffle" such as the atk every 5min funday monday or the atk with warp prism only funday or the viewer videos for nub tuesday. also, any daily where day9 says "parasite01, i will not take any of your questions, they are too damn good" all of these dailys are very good. mainly because they contain me.
The live coaching with Wheat was very cool. 2v2v2v2 on BGH back in the BW days was one of my all time favorites. The entire SC2 launch production was great. "I'm QXC, you've probably heard of me." hahahaha.
100 is of course a shoe-in.
I haven't seen many of the episodes since after hitting 200. Not a fan of funday monday, noobie tuesday etc...
fwiw i think his bw casts actually helped me understand RTS in general a lot better than any of his sc2 stuff, but maybe that's simply because as i developed more as a player i found less of his insights valuable to me personally...
either way, his early bw stuff cant be ignored, was pure gold to me back in the day XD
Thanks to the guys who are suggesting dailies that aren't on the excluded list
TO EVERYONE ELSE, PLEASE ONLY SUGGEST DAILIES THAT ARE NOT #100, #50, #65 or #252, these are already overwhelmingly considered the best of the best, we're looking for the best of the rest.
I watched some of the 2v2v2v2 BGH dailies after reading this, and I laughed my ass off. This is probably a stupid question -- but I looked in the custom games menus and I couldn't find any such games. Is it possible to play a 2v2v2v2 in SC2? If so, where do I find these?
Wow just watched the #50 BGH fun game and it was without a doubt the worst day9 daily I have ever seen and I've seen like 10 or so. it just wasn't funny at all, not even a little, the funday monday with mass queens/sentries whatever was more fun. I laugh more every day from Tastosis than I did from that cast.
I personally think 41 deserves an honorable mention at least, it has excellent analysis and my favorite documentation of 2 hatch mutalisk, oh and he's funny. He's funny, he is..... funny + Show Spoiler +
#100 for me for sure. Being a fan of esports for so long, it's always nice to hear the behind the scene stories and emotions. Can't wait for another special like this!
