But his 4th place at MLG should seed him bro!

He really was a lot more passionate for his bw casts. I remember that Jaedong game against Tempest in season 2 Tasteless was going crazy haha.

I heard he has a smoking problem. Not sure if true.

Thanks, not sure what happened to my link.
There are some things I miss about Brood War.

Day9 needs to look up the term over saturation. I haven't listened to the episode yet but I'm sure I'll enjoy the bashing. I get that he wants to continue securing his name as the biggest and most iconic esports person, but I'm just tired of his various gimmicks. He's a great caster though
How many dailies does he do a week? I'd expect it'll have to be once a week soon due to his schedule

I rarely check, but when I do there are like 5k watching, more or less depending on the time. I don't get it
I love his passion but dude got corny long ago
I haven't watched Day since the Kingdoms of Alamur stuff he did. Haven't seen SotG or any SC2 related content really in forever.
Game is in a perma lul to me till HoTS hits.
That's a damn shame Jimmeh...

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
His streams usually get 5-6k viewers at any time.
I personally haven't watched a daily since...oh I don't know...last October.

It's more the years of casting more than anything. If he doesn't cast for a long time, his old voice sort of comes back.
He's been doing less and less tournaments this year so I don't really agree with over saturation. He used to cast pretty much everything whereas now he just does the daily and the tournaments he seems directly involved with (AHGL, red bull)
I don't really understand the recent day9 hate in this thread or outside of it. I'm not sure why anyone is entitled to his personal finances and I'm also not sure why a positive attitude is a bad thing.
I shouldn't really be considered one of day9's "fanboys" or whatever either considering I haven't watched a daily since like 2010 or early 2011

Kind of random question, I'm going to be attending the Red Bull Battlegrounds tournament tomorrow and Sunday. The tickets I got said they start at 2pm. I'm assuming there's no "end time" specified since series are best of's, so it's impossible to know how fast the series' would be over as they could be clean sweeps or tied for all they know.
But if anyone has watched these tourneys all the way through in the past, around how long can I expect them to go on if it's slated to begin at 2pm? I'm planning on celebrating my birthday tomorrow night and would like a general idea of when to tell people to get ready to come out, but at the same time I definitely want to watch all the games.

On their schedule they say that there will be a post show at 10. So that is at least when they expect to be done. Whether they will actually be on time is anyone's guess.

2gd said shit that mostly started it the last week. Other than that, people are just tired of him.

Thanks, do you have any idea what a "post show" consists of? Is it like...raffles and prizes and bullshit or does it actually have to do with StarCraft II games?

I'm watching the latest SoTG and it's pretty bad. It's clear that without Artosis on the show it's just InControl carrying everyone. When they were talking about Proleague it was just InControl talks about the player and everyone else goes "I didn't play Brood War during that time so I don't really know anything" then it repeats for the other 7 players. Then for the GSL finals InControl gives some good comments and everyone else goes "well I still haven't watched it yet." They need to get better personalities on the show.
No, there are things I like about both games. I really like the macro mechanics and auto-mining in SC2, so in regards to that it's painful to watch BW sometimes. But the 12-unit control group does feel like it leads to more harassment and better unit control where different units are microed differently in different groups. I've been playing more BW lately due to not having access to SC2 and I basically need to put zealots and dragoons in different unit groups and put the zealots in front and give them different movement paths. In SC2? Even the pros would just bunch them into one large deathball group and zealots get stuck behind the stalkers and it's terrible.
Also miss Lurkers, Reavers, and Vultures.
Like it being a good game?

I love Artosis but I prefer MrBitter's personality and wisdom. Plus he had the greatest SC2 that ever existed

I feel like you have to bring tasteless/rotterdam into this if we're comparing bitter/artosis
I think it's pretty close, they're definitely the 2 best casting duos right now.
Tasteless legitimately sucks, and I'm glad people are finally criticizing him. He's been coasting since the game came out; you can just tell he doesn't play it at all.
I continue to maintain InControl would be a far better partner for Artosis. Even haters have to admit InControl is hilarious and while he may not be good at the game, he understands it well enough to be a color caster. It would be amazing

I don't really care for incontrols casting. His comedy doesn't really fit for me during a cast.

This also rocks

Incontrol's probably better at starcraft than any full time caster, unless that was a joke PD
I dunno, tasteless may not be the best but I just think he works so well with artosis, it'd be hard to replace him :/
But Wolf replaced him so effortlessly bro
Did you guys really prefer wolf/artosis to tasteless/artosis?
I mean they weren't bad, but I didn't think they were anywhere near as entertaining as tastosis.
Loved it, they were really discussing all the strategy and it wasn't just Artosis coming up with possible ways to win. Tasteless isn't that awful, but he just goes with what Artosis says while Wolf would sometimes challenge it. Wolf and Khaldor do however miss a lot of intel like when they didn't see the seeker missile upgrade being cancelled.

Tastosis is more entertaining, but Wolftosis has better analysis.
What does Rotterdam/Mr.Bitter cast? I keep hearing about them but don't really see their casting. I missed the last few MLGs so maybe that's it.

They do NASL like every other night or something like that.

Oh okay I never watch NASL after what happened with Season 1. Maybe I should. There are too many tournaments lately.
