Starcraft 2 Day[9] Daily 163 1/4 - Gold Level Replays: Fixing the Little Things

[internecine69]

i like how im better than these guys by alot and im still bronze.....im almost older than there APM :P idk,i honestly dnt kno how to even get to silver

[jscofield55]

I feel this game is rigged....if you get placed in PLAT and you lose all the time, you will never get kicked out of PLAT. If your placed in Bronze, not matter how much you win, you will never get out of bronze.....wtf.

[mvsaratssj4]

talk talk talk talk.....don't you get bored talking all time!

[Bububaps]

Day9, you're a great commentator, and I love your videos BUT, no offence, I'm here to watch starcraft, not your life story. Please don't make a 15 minute video 30 minutes with all these pointless details about your life. Yes, you're trying to reach out to the community, you do that but you really drone on with some pointless stuff. I don't know how it works in your country but in mine you don't watch sports and have the commentator at the start telling us how their day went. Thanks for your vids

[Glasid4131]

@Bububaps thats called shoutcasting when its just regular live commentary, this is full game analysis to improve.

also all the IRL stuff in the dailies is fun ^^ day[9] is a swell guy

[someguyoutthere110]

07:20

Day9: I'm making outa 6 barracks right now but I'm not makin' any SCVs.

TLO: Challenge accepted.

[UnknownD1s4st3r]

I'm better than all this gold level players I see in the replays and I'm in bronze. :s

[PoliteElliot]

"Live, slept and... brothe... RTS games" Thumbs up for adding new words to the English language :)

[gtandjosh]

whats the max scv you should have on the mineral field

[Claews]

@gtandjosh 3 is max, however: its a big difference between 1 scv's and 2 scv's on one mineral. It's not as big of a difference between 2 and 3.

[bamfme]

@Claews on the contarary i would say 4-5 per node so when when get your expo you can move your probes to your expo right away

[customxboduboards]

@gtandjosh according to the producers and thus master minds of starcraft, you are supposed to have 3 (three) scv's per mined area, ie: 3 per mineral field and 3 per refinery.

[StuckInBronze]

That terran surely is bronze and not gold.

[TheDigitalCrusader]

I got the same shirt! But i dont have moobs....but he is better than me at SC2 so its even

[Freakenstei]

I sometimes get supply blocked and im like hmm and say gg, f10+n then go find a new opponent and then i get that overlord on time. Maybe not that good for my w/l but meh..

[xLingyy]

@Freakenstei yh i would consider not doing that

you get better from playing people around your level, and if you are fucking up your win/loss you are less likely to play players as good as you and improve

[bladerunnertx]

scv was dedicated to the scout probe to prevent a proxy pylon for warping, good commentary few things right and only 2 wrong, defiantly good.

[Atmy3nd]

I think he needs 1080p ;)

[MikeVaren]

day9 is able to defeat 7 insane AI's in 7 vs 1, while fighting Chuck Norris irl and smoking crack at the same time

[TheBigOnesNeedLuvn2]

those 2 players are the luckiest people ever.

[showertile]

I have such a crush on this guy.

[Tliken]

@showertile Me toooo.

[panzamelano1]

he spells it "laustinspace"

[KitchumS]

you should put a small video box in one of the top corners with the replay on while you're talking.

[amrasmord]

@KitchumS It's paused while he's talking. No point.

[KitchumS]

@amrasmord lol true, i commented before i realized that, but perhaps during uneventful moments he can do something like that

[MakMoviez]

Played RTS games for 12 years, cause im cool :D. hahahah i love u man

[Anon9917]

day9 i can't see how he spells lost in space because you don't broadcast in hd

[21afroninja21]

doesnt RTS mean strategy?

[CorruptReaper]

@21afroninja21 RTS=Real Time Strategy, as in not turn based or or anything like that.

[Devourer09]

Use constructive criticism on yourself.

[elad135]

What really sucks for me is that I keep watching all these replays, and I understand exactly what's going on and how you counter everything your opponent throws at you. Then I go play a game, and hey! - I still suck :|

I just don't get it...

[puntage72]

@elad135

so true mate.

[bamfme]

@elad135 learning to counter is not very imprtant until you get the basic concept of the game and get good at your macro and micro

[bamfme]

@elad135 oh yeah umm one thing i watch that day said was lets say probe pylon probe pylon probe pylon so you always remember to make them say it out loud for a few games then wisper it later on and soon youll just mentally do it and build order doesnt matter till you get the basics down

[itsjustaname4]

@elad135 I know how you feel, that's how I was for the longest time. Just keep playing, practicing, and getting experience. Eventually it'll click. Try new things too.

[Xoanek]

@elad135 u need a friend to come sit with u while ur playing and comment. If u understand the mechanics and still have problems u just need somebody to help u see what u can't during the game.

[MrRyanosaurus]

@elad135 What has really helped me get better:

1) Use a game timer (to get gauge urself)

2) Take notes on these replays: what you see at what times (scouting, [counter]teching,droning,army production,attacking,etc.)

3) Compare these notes to your play (as D9 said, Be critical so you can always improve)

4) Continuously be doing useful things (build and attack at same time) 4a) Hot-key key buildings so you can do this ^

5) Learn the mainstream opening builds for ur race

just a start...

[ddrirc]

I disagree with your wording. It's not that he was "cutting" scvs during those times. He had the minerals; he just didn't build them.

[Kay2968]

@ddrirc lol..... thats exactly what cutting scvs means dude.. might not be how "you" would say it... but thats what it means

[ddrirc]

@Kay2968 I guess I would consider cutting to be spending the minerals on something else and then not being able to make an scv. He had the money, just not the macro skills to always be making them.

[moonshiry]

thanks day9 really appreciate that you are taking some time to helping those that are REALLY in need of help lol.. the lower level players

[kodiack7777]

anyone know where to get sweet SC posters?

[puntage72]

@kodiack7777

ebay maybe? or google 'starcraft 2 merchandise.'

[otabari]

you're great, but "broth"? or "broughth"? missed a few english classes while growing up? :D

great vids really, but broughth....? :D

I dont usually comment on vids but I just had to, no offence intended, just found it really funny :)

[ContempoREX]

Hey Day[9] is there an email address we can send u replays ? I have one that I sent every commentaries and no response. The game is really worth it, platinum league ZvT with lots of counters (chain fungal growth, broodlord kiting, etc...) Let me know if you would like to see it, it's a 45min game also.

[moonshiry]

@ContempoREX you could try his twitter.. as he doesnt really read the youtube channel comments.. you could also try sending it to huskystarcraft or HDstarcraft

[therealbabo]

i usually stop making scvs after i mine out a base and have very high minerals and near maxed food late game, but maybe thats because i'm bad

[jimmyboy2021]

day9 is lovin those contacts!!

[LaustinSpayce]

Thanks to this video, I've stopped losing against Terran so much and my game has improved loads, now being promoted to Platinum league! Thanks day9 for using my replay for this Daily!

[brandondash]

@LaustinSpayce All this in 2 days. :P

[NeophyteSC]

When you say that people should constantly be making workers... Does that also count when your mineral line and gas is fully saturated and you don't have an expansion. Or is this the time you start making an expansion so you move those workers, who caused the oversaturation, to move to your expansion?

I'm new to Starcraft and this is something I hear often to keep making workers.. But it seems useless at the point when you have a fully saturated base, hence the question.

[blaiseAP]

I dont know who else feels this way, but just cast the starcraft and not talk about all this other shit

[codygautreau]

@blaiseAP

pretty sure you're alone on that one, I , and pretty much everyone here, love(s) this guy.

[TheDudeFranco]

I just wanted to say thank you for these uploads. Watching your videos has improved me from a terrible Bronze player to a not so terrible Bronze player. Maybe some day I'll move up to the Silver big leagues!

[FightNHB]

my bday is 8/11 too :O

[xennion]

"its quite 'a lot' (in funny accent)" ;P

[Harmedd]

i got a boner when you said hard-on at 03:24.

[Darknesswave]

im not playing like boxer or bisu i'll never be good!!!!!

[C1u3z]

You should just edit the overlay into the video AFTER its made, that way you don't have to mess with it at all.

[SigR1988]

@C1u3z He streams this live on ustream I think haven't checked it out though, that is why he needs the overlay during the recording.

[will122391]

Hey Day9, love your videos, watch 'em everyday. I'm just curious as to what rank you are?

[gmanthebeast1]

9:43 LOL outed sean!

[johnkx]

sexy girl pic @ 9:37

[n0rbinator]

game starts at 3:53

[TimBillyRichie]

Question: Should I constantly build workers out of ALL my town halls?

[NewtypeChild6]

@TimBillyRichie

>Town halls

Wut?

No, you only get enough until you can expand and transfer.

[MeanManMan]

Ah, no more hi-def. So sad for me ;*-(

All respect for those happy with more frequent casts at the 480 level, but I must look to my buds HD & Husky to give me the 720 I crave!

So don't get bent out of shape for me saying I prefer a minimum of 720.

We all have our preferences.

[Kay2968]

@MeanManMan i hear ya man... this looks like dog shit after watching 1080 for so long

[OrdoMallius]

@MeanManMan

480 is good.I used it allot.but now I am on 720 but still 480 is fine.

[MysticErf]

There are several games I play that I suck in, and will never be good.

They're games that really require practice and commitment to get good at. But it's more important that even while losing I still enjoy playing them.

[SuperAwesomeHobo]

looove your videos, you rock man.

buuut in every single one of your videos the sound is off, and it drives me craAazy. all your gestures and energy go to waste when its not timed with the sound.

if its actually right, and i have a tumor, then sorries.

[Deimos69r]

too much commentation/irl cutscenes. back to HD/Psystarcraft.

[highwayblowout]

@Deimos69r I agree, why can't you just talk during the gameplay? <_< anyway, keep up the good work.

[SlaveExplosion]

@Deimos69r Day[9] is COMPLETELY different style to those 2. You come to Day[9]'s videos for very in depth analysis. Psy for a bit of both.

[dkoleary88]

thumbs up if you want day9 to upload 720p versions of his vids!

[Velociraptor027]

@dkoleary88 720 takes a very long time to load. I'd rather have him upload more frequently than have a bit higher definition.

[Naba008]

@dkoleary88 960! Or more!

[LFH4UNT]

everyday should be a new overlay :D

[Kleavers]

You really need to up the quality. It is really hard to make out some things :S

[ElvenNoble]

@Kleavers I can't speak for others, but the only things I can't make out in low quality I can't make out in HD either, things I can't easily make out mostly just consisting of the numbers of supply and/or shield/hp/energy on units/buildings. (when watching commentaries from HDstarcraft or whatnot)

[Kleavers]

@ElvenNoble

Everything just looks blurry...which was understandable when they are recorded Korean broadcasts or something. But this is a replay from a brand new game!

[ElvenNoble]

@Kleavers Odd, it doesn't look that blurry to me, most likely you watched it before it finished processing, or perhaps you need a better graphics card or to update something? No clue... =\

[GamerOpiumz]

i hope u get laid by an asian chick for your birthday tasteless

[MrSebbiiify]

gratz tasteless!!!!!!!!

[BxWong]

Damn, gold league players are worse than Silver League-ers. I'm silver league, get matched up against gold and platinum players and all around, my APM is higher, etc. etc. I feel bad in Silver league ; - ;

[74Simple74]

@BxWong probably unlucky on the placement matches. I'm gold league player and I admitt i was a bit lucky on my first few matches

[LordTaoTang]

@BxWong lol saying Gold Leagues suck is dumb

People play differently, no matter what league they are in, they make mistakes sometimes

[BxWong]

@LordTaoTang

I don't know, it just sorta frustrates me that lower league players can consistently knock down upper-leaguers and aren't in their rank.

[gmanthebeast1]

@BxWong how woulod they do that when they dont play them?

[BxWong]

@gmanthebeast1

Yes, they do. The matchmaking system constantly pairs me (Silver League) against Gold-Platinum league-ers.

[CorruptReaper]

does anyone else hear Day[9]s voice commentating while ur playing? "And he's putting down a 10 rax, nothing out of the ordinary there... he's just power droning now"

[zapo147]

@CorruptReaper YES!! HAHAHA

[21afroninja21]

@CorruptReaper i hear it every time haha

[xLingyy]

@CorruptReaper lol 10 rax and probes in the same build?

[Vassago85]

@CorruptReaper Yes, I do... and actually when I do it's very helpful, because he also criticizes sometimes :D... (does this sound like I need a sanitarium? :) )

[Jackeh00]

Great Daily, once again.

[Th3Felucius]

Well my name is Fulgrim, atm i am platin and yea, its like day [9] said, oh damn, i failed hard :P

Esp concerning the hotkeys @ the raxes. And i really grew stronger.

Unfortunatly it is one of my early games, so i am not good at all and failed :P

[AlbertoD41]

At beta I started at Bronze and now I am at platinum (still pretty bad) with a win rate slightly higher than 60%. I think my play is solid now but my apm is pretty low it hangs around 50.

And if you ever need a replay from a platinum protoss player right here :) Day9

[Louisil]

stop talking so much in your vids, i dont watch youtube replays to watch some white-fro'd fuck talk for a year

[thepontingxtreme]

@Louisil the point of these videos are for analysis, if you want the replays go download a replay pack.

[Hocoboz]

@Louisil So because all you want is gameplay, you choose to watch Day9 Daily that rotates around the fact that Day9 is analyzing everything, and not just focusing on "LOL XPLOSIONS KEWL"

[zanagi64]

@Louisil how is it possible for you to be such an idiot? It's like you buying pineapple and ham topped pizza and complaining it doesnt taste like pepperoni. If u wanna watch replays without the analysis go watch HD or husky. I came here to listen to this guy "talk for a year", and i guarantee most other people here are the same. =)

[tuoljg]

i went from bronze to diamond in 2 days, since i bought the game (did not play beta).

lost the first 5 placement matches easily, i were clueless. Then when i learned build orders i just went to diamond immediatly.

[toberman23]

@tuoljg "I were clueless" Nice I'm sure you went to Diamond immediatly.

[Bratcipheo]

@tuoljg guess u arent zerg, but something like terran right?

[tuoljg]

@Bratcipheo i were playjng both terran and zerg, now im playing only zerg.

[DimDima]

I would like to see more replays like this

[TorkahPC]

I really hope you do a zvt or zvp like this.

[oblivious1337]

@TorkahPC orl ike 10 or 12

[MrSharp94]

god i'm such a shity nooby

[whomybuddy]

Macro tutoring? Wanna learn the way Korean players macro XD.

[Pluiz2006]

Went straight to platinum after placement matches but I find it quite hard to battle others.

These videos really help people like me to try and keep up with the competition =D

[FullmetalGanon]

can you post up a replay of your own and talk about how you would improve your own gameplay? :)

[SarkFaLL]

I went form silver to diamond in the course of a month thanks to you day nine, my hat is off to you :)

[netskater4454]

@SarkFaLL me too! but did it in 2weeks

[mikvannak1]

Is your bicep hairy at 2:28?

[shawnmoffit]

all your vids have your voice lagging the picture.... anyway you can fix that?



[Arandil91]

@shawnmoffit nooo you made me focus on it

[OrdoMallius]

I almost turned off the video since the beginning is identical to another video of day9

[EpicPh4ilure]

Im a gold player :333

[dyslecix]

crap

[Raoh]

What you do for starcraft is what michael jordan did for basketball.

[mystrdat]

man you're getting weird.

[hellopellos]

@dyslecix it doesnt cost gas

[garrettshawdotcom]

@dyslecix orbital commands cost 150 minerals. 0 gas. :]

[moviemaster2010]

@dyslecix it doesnt take gas lolz, I think that was in an old beta patch

[hellotheresirdude]

@7:00 though, he's doing it to lock in the probe more than to cut workers

[ArchaicShadow]

I like how much honour you give to your brother, lol

[sartigan943]

HAPPYBIRTHDAY TASTELESS!!!

[TheEvak20]

omg i am first viewer =D day nine gimme a shout in next video =D
