If you like day9

[Nicol Bolas]

He's a great commentator/critic.

He's great for analysis. His brother is a much better straight-up commentator, though.

From what I've seen, I agree. To be fair however, all the commentaries I've seen from Day9 are pretty explicitly designed ground-up for players. I do wonder how he would change his approach for one of those mainstream audiences he was talking about.

Honestly I think there both equally good, when tasteless is ALONE he is much much worse than when he has someone like super daniel man as a co commentator - during the TSL chill /day9 combo was sexellent and on par with the artosis/tasteless cast.

I think thats tasteless experience casting lets him mesh well with co casters and he gives off a more professional sports caster like feel to his commentary.

But when day9 is on, he is ON! During the tsl when chill dropped he carryed the cast so well it was awesome.

I think the ploots are easily the best 2 commentators in starcarft followed by Chill/Diggity/Rise/Artosis/SMD etc.


@Pure
Dont confuse his day9 dailies with casting ;d not sure if thats what you mean ^_^ Tune in this week to the ZOTAC cup to see him casting a tournment I think he provides a pretty good newbie approch, always back tracking and making sure he explains simple things incase someone has just tuned in or is new. When your casting a tournment its important to realise that even if your explaining high level stuff all it takes to make your cast newbie freindly is to point out what is IMPORTANT. In sc1 if the caster mentions that this first vessil is very vital to the terrans build and a tense situation happens you can get exited becasue even if you dont know why its important to this build you know it is and hte commentator is getting exited over it. Oh this would make good thread dicussing casting haha

Mr. Plott comes off as a bit... fruity. Its not a problem, just... yeah.

Hi there, Mr. Pot. Got anything to say about Kettle today??

Yes.

He's still not as black as you, nucca.

[Skyze]

You seem to know him "pretty" well. Hes the exact opposite of a selfish person, and what exactly do you think he thinks hes entitled too? lol what a joke. And for you too like his brother who is very similar to him in many ways just shows your pretty much just talking out of your ass


Geez his stream has 1800 viewers right now and its OFFLINE!


Be sure to tune into tonight as well (in about 6 hours) for 101 Everyone

All I can say is there's a good reason no major teams ever picked him up after his WCG appearance afew years ago. He fucked things up for himself, and maybe his past 2 years of commentating have fixed his reputation abit but before that, he was known as a.. "dine and dasher", type person. All I will say. Ungrateful.

Hidden Content:

I wasn't on his old teams or anything(I think he was rS for awhile? or something like that), but the community has never not liked day from like 2005 on and before that he was barely talked about. So theres no "fixing" that needed to be done, if you have a personal experience or something then thats fine but your being pretty vague. Either way though, for the past 4 years or so hes done nothing but help the community and is generally considered a nice guy (from people that know him/ have met him)

But at least you seem to have a reason, which is better than nothing having anything and just flaming so nothing more really needs to be said.

Did anyone catch day9 show last night? Im so going to snyc my command centers up now haha

ie. At 35 energy you start your 2nd orbital command
