[kemp1222]

wtf is warp speed analysis :P

[LegacyJace]

Dude you chatter a lot.

[gpburr]

@LegacyJace -Watch a commentary video. -Complain that guy talks.

Am I missing something???

[L3gacyJace]

@gpburr No I said he chatters. Talking is great, I wanna hear him talk about stuff that is really important, but he rambles on about random stuff sometimes lol. [ps day 9 is awesome i watch his stuff all the time =P]

[evil9981]

nice shirt! keep ur brother close to ur heart ^o^

[xKernNie]

How much money do you make per year?

[XXWISHOWNXX]

17:44 for the action :3

[MiGStarCraft]

And what league is this dude?

[Shadowwarrior909]

@MiGStarCraft Grandmaster.

[Axiss360]

@MiGStarCraft

He's a grandmasters player... Although in some of his videos he may not seem so because he's breaking everything down in an effort so people can actually understand. His goal is to be helpful, not to show off his MLG (they literally are) skills.

[BlueStrikeP]

@MiGStarCraft @Axiss360 he's so skills he gets paid to talk about other people's skills

[MiGStarCraft]

I just played an awesome game... :3 it was me [toss] vs [terran] and i went 4 gate then walked to his base and sit out side of it... while i get an exspo and things... and i see him pushing out so i ff the ramp and half of his units die.. he trys to move out again with his cc to exspand but then i ff the ramp again and take out the cc... it was pretty awesome game . . . FF op ! ! !

[Massemassimo]

49:45 Quick warpins, thats the tip I was looking for all morning. Great! Thanks.

[himynameisjaryd]

my computer froze while hyper warpspeeding.

[LastGladius]

27 people rudolph really hard.

[BubbleGumSC2]

what does he use to record?

[Supercucu123]

This is how I played and learned the mechanics and macro of this game. Played using only stalkers and zealots all the way up to platinum. Ended every game before 15 minutes because eventually my macro would just end up overwhelming the other player.

[nathj89uk]

So I recently got placed into the bronze league and I kept getting owned, I'm crap I know :P

I employed the quick expand macro overview and it worked perfectly, had more resources than I could spend and I've never been as high for army supply!

Thanks Day9.

[DjKahle]

LOL @ mac support line!

[hanslol]

Arr no game timer. 

[Omegax9000]

I like this style!

[ForForm]

Dude... A tasteless shirt... That's just amazing :)

[everynamewastaken69]

day 9 a friend and i only recently got into starcraft 2 we played brood wars but never REALLY played it just did no rush 20 shit where u don't improve anyway whatsoever starcraft 2 we have both been watching all your vids and trying to learn and get better and you have helped us tremendously we watched ur cast of the nestea mvp games at blizzcon 2011 which was perfect most well played games we've ever watched by our hero of casting! thanks day 9 lol also saw tastosis cast that mma vs mvp!

[Aversesup]

where do you get your diablo3 poster? + where can i find a pro protoss player with a youtube channel ?

[ShanfredMetalface]

@Aversesup

ColMinigun

[33shin33]

me before watching day9 videos: fuck terrans are imbalanced, oh no god damn marines so versatile shit look all these drops

me after watching day9 videos: hey dude why did you ragequit ?

[PsyMaster76]

damn, OUTSTANDING ....  trashtalk .. hehe..

great content .. and sooo entertaining .. damn high quality.

did you ever make a vid about this "keyboard-playing"-stuff to improve the speed of cycling through all buildings and necessary units - and improve speed (apm)? would appreciate that a lot.

[Zinger1337]

@PsyMaster76 yea he did its called APM, mechanics and somthin. look it up

[killermiller6666]

@PsyMaster76 there is one up

[iwishyouwereherenot]

Did he really see (my observer)? 11:29 lol

[jkyet]

would you have a problem with this strategy if you get rushed? how would you change your game if you knew you were going to get rushed??

[APandaLook]

is this special tactics?

[jored7]

wow commercials o_O

[nitix]

What a tasteless shirt.

[SuperG3ORG3]

@nitix his brother

[SomeHobo7]

If Starcraft had a boxxy.

[Adeon55]

@SomeHobo7 day9 = the boxxy of Starcraft?? Duuuude, you just blew my mind :O

[ObLiViOnZThEkIllEr]

@SomeHobo7 Dont fucking go there... Dont.

[handpro]

Starcraft 2 is the only game that the poorer you are, better you get.

[womber200]

@handpro poor people don't have computers

[AssFragger]

@handpro Warcraft, dawn of war, command and conquer, supreme commander, every rts....

[RansonK]

@handpro lol raging cuz he bad

[dermatu]

mh as much as i like the idea of expanding fast but usually I have someone else coming with units to harass me

[Gr3atGab117]

i dont know why i rudolph so hard! lol :)

[Onecyded]

Day 9 deserves all the money he gets STFU DAY 9 is the shit.

Love ya buddeh :D

[tanmaniac]

@ZKoftherebellion Try blink stalkers... that late in the game you should be able to get a ton of stalkers and blink micro against the cattlebruisers. With the excess gas you can get a few high templar and feedback the bcs to do massive massive damage.

[ZKoftherebellion]

@tanmaniac thanks. :)

[ReedMHoffman]

LOL at the fanboys on here. a good commentator is a good commentator husky is good daynine is good anahris is good stop being fanboys and just enjoy the game.

[ExponentToaster]

fud, no, fewd, yes!

[dag4227]

yo you suck i hate you

husky 4eva

[supahsmashbro]

@dag4227 im about to slap u



[Odinshi]

The pope is definitely not infallible, so his hands must be :o

[ceberusbotcatcher]

How is it viable to go for this "macro style" of play when in lower leagues (silver, gold) nearly everyone does some 1base aggression?

[larukulunaseas]

would have died already in a ladder

[noobleetgamer]

@larukulunaseas sorry but no , he wouldnt of already died in a ladder



[tcherniavsky]

protoss tutorial

[navrozlal]

I used this against a Terran and he complained about 'Protoss Bio Balls' LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

[nickpoi2]

@navrozlal

oh god hahahah

[sangyuni96]

people these days make it to high plat, diamond by cheesing only...and they won't let protoss play a god damn macro game..but once I stop their rush, they're pretty much screwed as they will be taking their 2nd base while im on my 3rd, 4th

[rkari120]

Nice brotherly love. <3

*looks at shirt*

[diredesire]

If Day9 got a tattoo on his face, then Tasteless got a tattoo on HIS face, would Day9 have to revise his face tattoo with a tattoo of his face on his face? Yo dawg, I heard you like yo' brother AND tattoos...

[nofangamer]

Thankyou sir! Protos Macro is the style i want!

[TheEmoHeretic]

SUPPLY!!! NOT FOOD! SUPLLY!!!!!!

[MrFreeze10947]

Yo my friend totally jizzed in his panties when he played with you he will not shut the hell up

[MrFreeze10947]

Thumbs up if you raped this kid in SC2 the other day

[loofaman562]

@MrFreeze10947 all the time!!!

[ceberusbotcatcher]

Would this macro style of play work in PvP vs. someone with Colossi?

Like 3 gate expand -> 4 warpgates vs. 3 gate robo -> expand

[bluntforce]

this guys a fag force all the way

[schattenfaust]

is he win is he win?

[Charbissc]

i have his headphones

[maxmekker13]

@Charbissc That. Is. AWZOOOOOMEE!!!!!

[adamiedooblah]

youtube fk off with the ads or Iwont use youtube at all!

[michal1337]

@adamiedooblah

do u know u can turn off ads ? :-)

[adamiedooblah]

@michal1337 HOW?! How do I turn them off?! :O

[michal1337]

@adamiedooblah

if u have firefox, you can simply download adblock (addon) and subscribe to one of anti-ad-lists. I simply forgot about something like ads and I'm like "what are you talking about" when someone says "i hate ads" etc.

[Flamez2k10]

i cant help but feel that tasteless doesnt show day9 enough respect eh neevr shouts him out but day9 always respects him

[rjjackson456]

whats macro and how to chrono boost new to sc2

[starcraft2playr]

@rjjackson456 Macro is the over all style of your play, what units you build etc. If you have good macro, you're building a lot of units. Chrono boost is an ability used by the protoss' nexi (nexuses?) wich will make the selected building begin making stuff faster. Just select you nexus and then press "c", then click on the building you want to boost. :)

[L4D2Latino]

you are losser

[nstiver]

@L4D2Latino fuck off L4D2Latino. Don't watch it then.

[blitzmate81]

Wouldn't any high level Terran player kite own zealot/stalker without properly placed sentries? I would think it to be so much more beneficial to add a mix of sentries by getting an early gas.Any thoughts???

[Primitus123]

10 minute advertisement... What have you come to YOUtube

[peb72]

@Primitus123 i no

[babygravy696]

if you use google chrome you can block the advertisments real easy. go to google type in google extensions and search for ad blocker and download it and poof no more ads

[daneilBambam]

guys for each advertisment he gets paid so yeah... i think

[connorkwl]

@daneilBambam Yeah, but 5 in 1 video is oscene.

[allisterw9]

@daneilBambam u guys itch to much if you dont want to see the add dont f'ing watch the ch.....other than that take a dose of STFU!!! have a nice day

[bobjo56]

how would you counter a highly meched terran? 8-9 tanks with a wall of rines infront would rip that no-tech army.

[shadowz081]

@bobjo56 This is suppose to be an example =.=, this is to vs Terran bio balls not Terran mech...you need at least a few immortals to even have a chance against mech Terran.

[bananian]

@shadowz081

upgraded chargelots says hi!

[isaacneedsanewname]

idk this build seems kinda weak to hydra/roach

[bobjo56]

@isaacneedsanewname its "PvT" retard

[Asdfwsfg1]

lol day 9 your awesome when your boxing where your probe would be popping out in broodwar i think thats so awesome and oldschool.

[AshISMusicallyHungry]

what was the tip he said about hotkeying the pylon?

[warezexx]

@AshISMusicallyHungry

b e. hit f1 click on mineral patch.

[thethreestuges]

this is dumb, you'll get cheesed

[bobjo56]

@thethreestuges its called scouting u bronze league scrub

[Killericon]

Get the program Mouselock. You can lock your mouse to one windowed program,. thus game windowed and still scroll. It's SUPER handy.

[Louis43thebeastmast]

@diekontrolleure lol hope you get funny responses, this will but fun

[Thaedism]

WOOOO DIABLO 3 POSTER!!!!

[XxXscammiXxX]

I feel bad for the AI

[KingOSketchKomedy]

Dude, I'm sorry but 8 gateway is no good against a second barracks at 18 at the 12 minute mark.

Seriously blizzard, very easy might as well just be the enemy not doing anything.

Medium should be very easy!

Insane should be hard and there should be impossible where the enemy starts with 30 gateways, 10 robos and 10 stars and they call it insane v2. Or 'you ain't gonna fucking win coz the enemy will kill your whole fucking base'

[XxBloodstuddxX]

Yea im struggling against 4gate type stuff.... any suggestions??? :D

[childsca]

@XxBloodstuddxX

If you're Terran, get marines and marauders with upgrades to trample a 4 gate. Siege Tanks help alot too. If Zerg, umm, 6 pool?

[XxBloodstuddxX]

@childsca well uh i play protoss xD i guess just focus more units and slightly delay expansion? or something?

[childsca]

@XxBloodstuddxX

Ahh, I am a protoss as well. I 4 gate to counter a 4 gate. If you can out macro them early you will have a bunch of options to expand and tech up while they try to catch up, especially if you can hold them to one base.

[XxBloodstuddxX]

@childsca Hm alright thanks heaps man, sounds doable haha :D

[DarkWidget]

@childsca appart from the fact that theyr in the exact same position? xD i love when ppl trick themself into thinking that 4gate is a "flexible build" xD

[childsca]

@DarkWidget

See the next daily...

[childsca]

"I just get the 8 warpgates up and power overwhelming it." rofl

[MrTokin2nite]

Hey Day9, i really hope u read this and contact me.

I can easily solve ur problem with window'd mode, and the scrolling.

Let me know if u have a multiple monitor setup, because then it can have a much easier solution. Send me a message and i'll give you the details! ( if you get a bunch of msg's daily i can msg another adress so you can guarantee its from me. WEll thanks a bunch man, i think you should get your own show on g4, just throwing that out there.

[CrashedddNBurneddd]

Oh man, I'm gonna Rudolph SO HARD tonight ;)

[cheezball55]

new caster wyrdcast is pretty good, I just subscribed. he's pretty funny, check him ouy especially his kiwikaky vs looky game. serious epic nerdgasm lol

[doomspekr]

i rudolf harder



[Gatorade117]

easy ai is baest!

[aznf0rl1fe]

this build seems risky... if they3 racked

[guyonwabbit]

you need ice

[AZNKC]

that fucking advertisement did not just cut my video off... midway through

[ALTW7]

i cant hotkey cuz i use my laptop:(

[S2theMiL3]

chuck norris doesnt need to macro

[mobley85]

Day 9 Thank you for posting this video up. after watching it and following it. with a few tweaks in late game. i have jumped up the a lot. TY sir!

[adamconner2000]

Awesome build, cant wait to try it later.

[wrscar]

Whats do you do for your job?. podcasts? or do you like a other job

[Osand317]

I go gateway gateway robo expand gateway gateway in almost all of my pvp or pvt matchups, and have been for a while. It wins me the game over 75% of the time. I just go mass stalker immortal.

[Vorbis5]

I hit the "like" button on your videos before the video even starts. I'm addicted to you in non gay, bro way.

[IveBenCrazy]

Great build to use for lower-level players for sure, though (aka not diamond), simply because the emphasis on macro forces, and most people are not perfect at macro until platinum (although there are outliers). Good for practice.

[4g3c]

really greedy build

its pretty risky and mostly now since terrans do 2 rax all ins

i don't suggest following this

MC have a better FE

[Snyphen356]

the advertisments are getting out of hand..

[Proud2BeAPirate]

@Snyphen356 At least is just one ad every 10 minutes, not 3 ads. That will be next though I am sure haha.

[ShinobiSl4sh]

@Snyphen356 firefox + ad blocker plus addon ftw

[mukkohaha]

@Snyphen356 you could download the Google Chrome plugin, add blocker something. i did it, now i never have to see pop ups or adverts

[redblueflash]

DAY NINE THE FUCKIN BEAST WHAT WHAT IN UR BUTT

[joceran]

This build could work sometimes.. But in Bronze.

And your little jokes just make you look like a huge geek.

[xitsallgoodx]

watch around 12min, how does he scroll around the mini map without using his mouse?

[maxwell9797]

@xitsallgoodx use the arrowkeys....

[Agronymous]

He holds down the middle mouse button.

[ihaveyourcrayola]

So due to these ads I personally vow to never buy Yoplait Yogurt ever in my entire life. Thank you youtube ads for ruining my laugh.

[andrew940b]

@ihaveyourcrayola go to google and get firefox and get ad blocker u will never get ads =]

[UltimateMarauder]

Oh, he's made 10 workers!  What a beast! I'm panicking.

[UEGDonkey]

I have a man crush on you! I did notice stuff that you get on to me about, like building your 1st pylon at 100.

[KiDFly01Boi]

Massive Fan Day 9 Tv.

[inallourglory]

your posts are informative and entertaining, thank you.

[augusto2131]

Can anyone tell me if there's a video like this but for PvZ and PvP?

[FaBFaB66]

@augusto2131 PVP -> Zealot rush

PVZ -> Zealot between a warpgate and a core at the entrance & Stalkers at back

have fun =|

[Tollinen]

Dude you know you can set the setings to Windowed [Fullscreen] .. and you can actually can scroll normally.. =P

[omachiyogi]

Don'tcha just love the taste of tasteless water...

[LadoSC]

@xLingyy I think they respond to what you make when they rush you at like 5 mins. When I have tons of stalkers, they show up with a crapton of tanks and M&M. When I have tons of zealots they suddenly have battle cruisers next time I see them. Hard/Very Hard AI's are just weird.

[dijc93]

lol @ the marines that got in...

[zling1111]

TASTELESS WOO!

[KPop021]

thanks for the help and keep up the good work!

[deansk1]

Wow Selena Gomez commercial is 100X louder than Day 9 almost blew out my ears!

[TrueMetis]

My water is better.

[PewLaz0rZ]

@TrueMetis the water is a lie

[Jstocky14Productions]

i was practing a build and got beat by a very easy AI (i think i should go PRO)

[xLingyy]

@Jstocky14Productions LOL

[jonathansevier1988]

lmao what a beast he has ten workers

[funland05]

omg every one is pulling a sea nanners water water i need awater

[loffesenior]

a smoking black man ad interupting the vid, traumatizing :(

[xLingyy]

@loffesenior yh i know what the fuck is that ad for?

[daikirainayume]

lol both strats dont work against a HARD computer,.. ^^

but I'll try it out in ladder

[xLingyy]

@daikirainayume thats because the hard ai does weird builds

[daikirainayume]

@xLingyy ah so if I do weird buildings too, no protoss could harm me with this? ^^
