As a Gold player trying to make Plat, I enjoyed the latest daily, and wouldn't mind seeing more gold-level matches, though I realize you're a busy man and typically cast very high-level games.

121 was fantastic, it gave me several great things to work on that I really did not know about. Probably the most helpful cast so far for me personally.

At the point where the silver toss attacked the defended Terran base what other options does he have? Sit there with his army to prevent an expand and expand himself and macro up?

Heyo gents!

I'll try to get on some of the re-encoding stuff asap. I'm struggling a touch to keep afloat as I work around 100 hours a week lol. ...

If you are just re-encoding videos you could always find volunteers to help with that Day. Sort of offload the computing time needed.

Would be really cool for Day to do more lower level content seeing as there is going to be a gigantic influx of new players.

Imho he did the right thing moving his troops up there to attack, that said i think he chose a bad place to fight, the terran troops where all in a pretty nice arc, while the protoss was at/on the ramp bunched up. I might be wrong though, not that good of a player yet =)

Hello Day9!

I am a struggling Protoss player and so I was hoping you could cover PvT and PvZ, including strategies, build orders, ideal composition, etc. of Protoss.

I'm particularly having difficulty dealing with MM w/medivacs and tanks. Pheonix? Collosi? High Templars? None of those really seem to work for this poor poor gold league player.

Against Zerg I can't find a viable strategy that keeps up with Zerg's ability to early expand (on 15 or 16) and I end up falling behind in the economy.

Thanks so much and keep up the great work!

Are you planning to do more shows like this (with lower level players)? I'd love to get that amount of detailed criticism on any one of my games >.>

Hey guys! I downloaded the Day9Daily #114 for myself, and figured I would do you all a favor and upload it for you. I first downloaded the flv file from ustream, then converted the video to .avi, and then removed the huge blank space in the middle of the daily with a video editing program.

PLEASE NOTE unfortunately, this video has a huge banner across the top telling me to upgrade to the pro version of the software and there was nothing i could do about it. I even tried to download like 5 or 6 other flv converters but they all had critical errors when converting, probably due to the big space in the middle of the daily. im not sure why, but basically this was the only converter that actually worked. my apologies, but the video is still totally watchable and understandable. if you wanna complain about it then this video isn't for you anyway, this isn't the imax theatre.

the video is .avi format and is 420 mb (winrared at maximum compression), the size couldn't really be helped due to the fact that the video is about an hour long. just download it before you go to bed or something. anyway, enjoy!

i was watching the series of Europe vs Asia HasuObs vs Dayfly excited to watch it but one of the games are repeated and a critical game is not there. it would be awesome if it can be fixed in the near future.

Just wanted to say that I really like the casts that involve analyzing games in the bronze to gold range, which I guess is actually silver to platinum now. I think it's more useful for most viewers, since on average they are going to fall into that range (assuming Blizzard is shooting for a bell-curve distribution). Watching pro players is entertaining in an e-sports spectating kind of way, but it isn't as good of a learning experience for players like me, and as a result I often find it less engaging. So, if the Day9 Daily were a democracy I guess I'd be voting for more casts like #121.

Hey Day[9]. Have you considered starting your Dailies with a random fact, that people wouldn't know?

I was just watching Day9 Daily #119 and I noticed at one point you say:
"A Marauder against an Armored unit doesn't quite deal as much damage as a Marine against any target."

This doesn't seem accurate. Going by Liquipedia ( http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Unit_Statistics ):
A Marine does 6/0.8608 = 7.0 DPS.
A Marauder does 10/1.5 = 6.7 DPS, and 20/1.5 = 13.3 DPS against Armored.

So two Marines for the same 100 minerals do slightly more DPS than a Marauder even against Armored, and maybe that's what you meant, but I thought it might be confusing as stated.

Typically when you compare units you either do food, or cost, as these are the two factors in SC.
