Day9 utterly exhausted after casting for nearly 2 days and 84 games. He stops to catch his breathe as MANY MANY fans await him outside.

Day9's Fans thin away but still more than 30 people waiting to speak with him 1 in the morning. Sean was the most energized man I have ever met to have casted so long and to have had a solo cast of Group C games to 2 in the morning. Day9 has shown me what true passion and resolve is.!
