Day [9]

This man is a genius, Day [9] that is.

He could easily be doing stand up comedy in a night club but he's not. Instead he has carved his own niche in the most niche things I can think of. He broadcasts and commentates Starcraft 2 matches.

Day [9] broadcasts from Blip.tv. Not only does he do a match daily but he has Funday Monday where he issues players an open challenge. For example in a Free For All match you had to kill off the opponents in alphabetical order. Talk about a challenge!

Another time he told all Terran players you couldn't use any Marines or Marauders, that'll just about neuter any Terran player for sure! After that he has Newbie Tuesday where players will send in problems in their gaming style and he'll help fix them. Friendsday Wednesday is where he'll have a top ranked player on and talk over a game they were involved in.

Day [9] is spectacular in his vocal stylings and lightning quick wit. If you have NO INTEREST in Starcraft at all and can't tell a Zergling from a Zealot you can appreciate Day [9]'s commentary for it's comic aspects and on camera charm.

He has been so good at his commentaries that Major League Gaming has picked him up to cast their matches as well as other Starcraft related tournaments such as the Dreamhack Tournament in Sweden.

Not too bad for a student who is still in college huh? He has become quite a celebrity in the Starcraft casting community. Day [9] is definitely someone I'd love to sit down and have a drink with. His advice to others has lifted my game tremendously as well. So perhaps someday if I become really good and get invited to a tournament or two I'll get to hang out with Day [9] but alas my skill is a LONG way from that point.

The only chance would be if Abostang and I got super good and they started taking teams into the tournaments. Abostang carries a lot of matches when they pick on the Protoss player as we have little to defend with in the early games. So Abostang has been left in a few 1v2 games and has won our fair share of them!
