Basically, all the cynics are hating.

Is that what the controversy is?

 

[Pancakes]

current day9 hate is hilariously retarded

I remember back in the day, the thought of anyone actually hating Day[9] was just not possible. Funny how things can go completely 180 like that.

I personally don't care. 2 weeks from now, we'll be hating some other community figure.

what the fuck is he talking about

he sounds mad he lives in a 4x4 cube

probably because he casts World of Warcraft

edit: Too bad they didn't bring up any real criticism, like that he is really a narcissistic piece of shit

Yeah, it was about time for the SCII community to try out hating Day[9], we've cycled through everyone else except TLO.

Day[9] did an AMA where he talks about the criticisms, apparently, I'm not sure where in the video it is.

JP's Real Talk with 2GD is 3 hours long, god damn... This should be good. Something to keep me entertained while refreshing the auction house in d3.

Just watched Hours 2-3, looking forward to 0-2. Some really good stuff.

 

[Snow]

I honestly think most of 2GD's criticism just comes from conflicting personality types and some vague sense of 'selling out' he seems to get out of day9. Somehow some some earlier vague 2GD remarks that came from that place were seized on by the drama craving side of Reddit et al. and combined with some gossipy bullshit about him being a secret asshole phoney rich dude. It's silly.

So its Yoshis birthday today... he may be a bit crazy... but he is our Yoshi...

I don't mind the 'realtalk show' but JP is transparently using it as a platform to create drama for his own ratings. The SCII community is drama filled nad hateful enough and Realtalk only worsens thing because there's little professionalism in the scene at this point.

Well I mean that is JP's job, to make video content that the community want to watch. There is very little professionalism in Western E-Sports as a whole, whether you look at the FGC, SC2, LoL, etc etc. We're just going through growing pains imo.

I don't think Realtalk helps limit the drama in the community, but I do like how we get to learn more about various members of the community from the very beginning.

my favorite part with 2gd was when
jp: no one is going to turn down blizzcon invitation to cast.
2gd: i did.

jp is fucking awful and he just proved that he dont mind shitting on the fans to get what he want.

I like how he kept trying to tip toe out of the trap 2gd set for him lol. "bu-but--but...yea well, ok"

Overall I dunno how I feel about his Day9 point, and the Fata1ity comparison. While I have problems with his casting/gimmicks, from a business perspective Day9 is very smart. You can just tell if esports isn't just a bubble that pops in the next couple years, he'll be in charge of some major things.. He's building his brand, I have no problem with that. And I'd also argue he does help the community - bringing Red Bull into the fray helps esports; that was an amazing coup and he's the only guy who could have pulled it off.

What I find interesting is how few community figures seem to be defending Day9 right now. SOTG pretty much seems to find the entire thing funny, and I get the impression they're not happy with him to some level either. He hasn't been on the show in awhile which I find odd; I figured he'd at least jump on to hype the Red Bull thing, but perhaps he feels his brand is so strong he doesn't need to.

---
Ultimately I do expect this entire industry to go up in flames, at least for SC2. So much money is being pumped in, and barely anyone is actually making a profit. As the Korean scene grows and they begin to dominate even more, I expect a lot of people to lose interest.

 

[Ikuu]

From what I saw JP needs to ask more questions based on what the person says, never even bothered to ask why 2gd didn't want to cast BlizzCon.

Whenever I listened to SotG, and this was last year, Day9 was worthless. All he ever did was laugh and didn't off anything to the program.

Is this true? I don't want to PM him a happy bday if it isn't.

I really like in the video how when showing Zenio/Taeja you see a glipse of their old team name for a second. And how Tyler's name switches to Nony.

Unfortunately I'll have to leave the US on Tuesday due to visa issues , have to take some meetings in the Netherlands and there is no way around it, this means I'll be missing both e3 and MLG, really sorry to all the people who looked forward to watching me play at MLG, I"m very sad but there is nothing I can do about it, I tryed to fix it but the timing is just super unfortunate, I should be back the 12th of June. Once more I'm really sorry but let's look at the bright side, there's always a next time and it's not the end of the World even though it's quite a bummer, still never managed to attend a MLG . At least I'll be able to hug my doggy when I'm home ♥.

Why do so many progamers suck at getting a visa sorted out


It would be funny if Hero or Taeja won MLG anaheim and they pushed the documentary back again to put in more footage

They were there in 2003 with Ghost and WoW. Stopped going in 2006 and haven't returned since.

You will see Activision Blizzard listed but that's not Blizzard Entertainment.

There will be a state of the game tonight at 8pm EST (3.5 hours from now). Incontrol, Artosis and idra on it so far.

See one bad game where he tries some super greedy build to see how it works.

Flip out and call him bad, lol.

What the fuck? Is this supposed to be a criticism? This comes across as the most vague, non-specific shit that feels more like jealousy than anything else ("I could make a lot more money if I wanted to." Yeah, sure you could.) Yeah, Day9 has always been in love with himself, that was fucking obvious from Day1 (pun INTENDED). Big deal?

Onoz, Fatal1ty! Think of the horror of Fatal1ty! This sort of stupid, poorly thought-out babbling actively pisses me off.

I thought people had gotten annoyed with Day9 over something actually concrete, turns out it's just "he's too popular/makes too much money"?

 

[Corran Horn]

So Nony moved to Oakland? oooo Im like 60minutes away from Nony? This is how it feels to be like Panda and Mr. Bitter
