My Life of Starcraft - Day[9] Daily #100

[MindTrixx1]

wish my bro was nice to me.

[ImaPSPcat]

I watched the whole thing again now, probably the third time since it was posted. I find it very motivational and I strive to become a optimistic forward person like you!

[RawrImApple]

Kinda weird how in the middle he talks about these famous players when he prob was as famous as them

[mrbaconjr421]

wow Day[9] your stories are absolutely inspiring making me (a 12 year old) dream hard dream big and most importantly be just like you ^-^

[witnesshistory]

@ProjectLowdowN No, but I can point out the idiocy behind it. Enjoy your false hope!

[VectorLethal]

@witnesshistory So now personal belief is idiocy? Oh how so ignorant and narrow minded people are.

[witnesshistory]

@ProjectLowdowN And creationism is in a book about a 2000 year old carpenter being the Earth's savior. I'll take a theory. Class dismissed.

[snuffsan]

I haven't even played starcraft and I thought this vid was great

[Sentmong]

Day9! This is the first time I watched this epic video and I found it hugely inspirational for my to become a better person and to continue to work hard setting up my own business.

[211zman]

at the start of 7th grade for me i was 4" 10'

[stike96]

Wow, epic video Day[9].

[peterpaul0803]

am not tired watching this over and over again =))

[Niall134nod]

I now know more about sean plotts life than I remember about my own

[soupymacaroni]

this has inspired me to be a better person. thank you day9

[wtran87]

oh god I wish I didn't have a mouth full of water at 1:49:00...LOL

[RiTu1337]

Speechless.

[paegun]

dunno how many times ive watched this when i go to sleep at night

[shaylemurray]

Excellent, Inspired me to re-instal SC2, even with school, As well as many life lessons. Thanks!

[labryth1991]

Beautiful Sean, just beautiful.

[szhrong]

@day9tv You have an amazing supportive mom.

[qwckstr12206]

day9 is trash and so are all the viewers who praise..

*Raises hate shield; slowly ducks head behind it.

[obblan]

@qwckstr12206 Obvious troll... But i really want to know why you think he is trash.

[nikkoship]

Very inspirational, gaming needs more stuff like this.

[SnakeGpx]

I thought to myself, I'll just watch 10 minutes....

Awsome video

[Matt2wild]

Day9 every time I am asked by an adult or a teacher who mt hero or role model is. You know who I say, you. I say Sean Plott is my role model because he gives his heart his mind and his soul into his passion. You are an incredible person. "aint nothin to it. Day[J] made me do it".

[gothikaboy]

2nd time watching!

[bobba515]

I don't even play SC2 but Day[9] gives me inspiration to improve my Street Fighter game.

[mandapannts]

god DAMN it, day [9]... how are you soooo fucking adorable. I have such a crush, it's silly.

[TheLindanShow]

you talked for 1hour and 50minutes....

[Nnehlable]

"Oh my god, you beat Froz?" -- Mom

[Karachsingstrue]

Thank you. I've been struggling with things of my own as everyone and failing because of not doing what needs to be done even though I know it. Watching you, listening to you telling your story moved me so much, regardless if I knew what to do or not now I just feel more full of will and energy to step it up.

Thank you, thank you so much Day, for being with us all these years.

[dannemans123]

there are no tournaments in my country :(

[godsmetal1]

Absolutley amazing, you really do put all your heart into your videos.

[xaos778]

This was a great vid. I don't play much Starcraft but i'm trying to be competitive in others games, and this video served as real inspiration for me. Thank you, Day[9].

[TekSC]

Almost for got to watch this today

[blade6321]

Just watched this all the way through...AMAZING!

[drainadin1]

Almost forgot to watch this today. ... Who am I kidding, No I didn't.

[DarkKnight2k6]

KANSAS and StarCraft FTW! i grew up 11 mins away from Leewood... holy shiz

[BlaZe941025]

such a motivation it is 2am midnight gonna play some ;)

[TehUtyske]

Watching this for the third time..!

[delox77]

Awesome!! I am a first time watcher and i randomly clicked on episode 100. I watched the entire thing and understood everything you were talking about. My brother watches your cast all the time and I figured I would check it from a link in Husky's YTC shoutcasting WhiteRa vs TLO. I guess the both of you were supposed to do that Shoutcast together. BUT anyways, I will get to the point. Excellent EP, I am glad the first EP of Day[9] Daily was this one. THX Day[9] I will be clicking to subscribe!!!

[CoSaNoSTRa050]

Get a Life

[Genesis0071]

I found this interesting!

[tydougandrene]

Now that I think of it, his story reminds me of all the pokemon episodes that I watched except Day9 is wayy cooler than Ash.

[tydougandrene]

Day9's ability to articulate his story of Starcraft is just so beautifully scripted and so inspiring. I just watched this video as as he explained his Starcraft Journey, I was thinking to myself, "damn, this is not just a game, but it's more than that, it's a sport, it's something worth working hard at.". This is my request, for filmmakers or people who know filmmakers, PLEASE CONTACT SEAN to get this into a movie because it's just so inspiring watching him describe his story.

[Eonical0]

I cried. <3

[KurwaSuk]

when he cracked his knuckles...i had to crack mine.

[computergasm]

Mum, mum! Did you know, that a turret out-ranges a banshee?

xD

[MrLovemeself]

NICE, dident know his brother was tasteless xD

[SwagMaster9000]

listening to this was sooo awesome. it's kinda weird how emotional i got when you got emotional haha but it was an awesome video dude

[solakaboy]

your mom is a boss, just sayin.

[rsperez88]

cool story bro...

[ithongl0lz]

I don't even play Starcraft and I had a great time watching this video. Props to you Day. Sub'd and Fav'd.

[iStormIt]

hd camera... yeaaa right.... :p

[avgilbeyzz]

I wish i could be like you, i am in bronze and im trying to get better but i feel that i am almost the opposite of you. Im not close with my brother and my parents dont understand games but all i hope to accomplish in life is to end up being as mentaly strong as you are.

[whyyoubetrippin4]

@avgilbeyzz i was in bronze for three seasons but watching husky and this guy got me up to gold. so just keep on trying, my family takes Starcraft as a joke and so do all my friends but I just kept playing and i got better.

[DGreenAndColour]

Fifth viewing done :D

So worth it every time.

[TheSourGent]

@DGreenAndColour Anytime I get bored, this is my single favorite video on the internet.

[linjedomarn99]

You're a great speaker!

[MrSurface94]

Day9, can you imagine that, together, people across the world have spent past 550 years of time listening to your story? I hope you know how interesting you are. You're such an inspiration, reminding me of my own childhood. My brother and I used to wake up and play Age of Mythology, the games were days long. Really good times. I kinda miss it, but I'm happy for my childhood. Thank you for sharing your story with us. :)

[Halendor960]

Your mom is amazing, Sean. You made me cry just watching you talk how supportive she is. :)

[DiScOiSkEwL]

1:45:45 - if there is "a" friday night that you want to hang in and play starcraft??

Please tell me I'm not the only one who "hangs in" and plays starcraft EVERY friday night..(saturdays too >.<)

[TekSC]

He fuckin' gets it HE GETS IT!!!

[asge17]

haha you guys i love you all, its awesome u relly gets he´s passion that is just cool thumps up

p.s i feel the same waay about COD been playing alot of turnements^^ and its just fantastic...

[VideoFletcher]

This game brought a grown man to tears. He lives this game, and it is awesome!

[Ah3m3nz]

Awesome video, it was so cool how your family and starcraft community players supported you. gg man

[CrankyLeopard]

"...and evolution is still a theory"... well it still is, but don't underestimate the power of 'theory'. People tend to mis-use the word and say things like "Oh, it's ONLY a theory". Theories are very powerful thing and a theory is something that's generally held (by experts) to be TRUE. For instance "the theory of intelligent design" is a misnomer as it's not actually a theory at all, since it's not generally held to be true as there is zero evidence in support of it.

[RSchofinater]

@Rukkis38 why are you watching if your not a nerd. this side of youtube is where nerds come to be safe

[RSchofinater]

en taro Day[9]

[NessebrGaming]

Only 3000 nerds watching? more like 2.6 millions fans!

[MrPukelicker]

Im crying right now...

[Rukkis38]

He spent 110 useless, f***ing minutes blabbing about some nerdy game minutes, a waste of time. Who watch the whole entire video? Your answer is nerds with no lives.

[MistahBiscuitt]

@Rukkis38 You Are a Fucking Dick, Sean Is A Idol To Alot Of People And You Say this Shit, You Can Go Fuck A God damn Tree Alright, This Man Is Like Jesus Of Starcraft,JESUS OF STARCRAFT, Go Say Shit Like This To your Little Friends I DONT GIVE A FUCK, BUT WHEN YOU DOWN US AND SEAN,THERE WILL BE A FUCKING PROBLEM SIR!

[Equiliptixx17]

@Rukkis38 Well you came to the video , so you we're watching it for a while and you researched something about gaming. Now I dunno what is tour problem , but Day9, Sean, is the mentor of Starcraft. And 110 useless minutes ? not so useless if I learned something.

[massdestruction97]

@Rukkis38 How can you be such a piece of a shit?!?

[TheKenister]

@Rukkis38 lol you say this when on your channel all your recent videos are about gaming. Your such a hipocrite and just ashamed of ur nerdness(dont know if thats a real word haha) so u just bash on others for being nerds. Its to bad u couldn't appreciate the awsomeness of this video and its creator, Day motha fuckin [9].

Go Fuck Yourself.

[Rukkis38]

He spent 110 f***king minutesbla

[Proto2AE]

1:09:30 I almost cried too man.

[Yahcreen101]

I just want to thank you Day9 for helping me with everything and making me feel like im not the only one who loves this game and has dedication to it.

[Yahcreen101]

amazing. I have recently been a bit bummed though at how I sometimes (as I am still very much a noobie) get facerolled from time to time but this video has inspired me. I have since bought manuals, I have since watched daily after daily as I just love SC with such passion. The idea of having your friends by you and your family its so inspiring. God I even started tearing up when you talking about the 2005 tourny when you beat your brother xD

[Yahcreen101]

I have just recently started playing Starcraft 2 (probably about a month or 2 ago) after ceaseless nagging at me to play this game from my dear friend Dallas. I always put it off as I would go from game to game and just do my own thing but eventually I got the motivation (and computer capable of running SC2 lol) and played the free starter edition. This game has changed my life. The idea that a game can be all about you and you community and how you win by you and no one else makes this game so

[SLEEPYANDGEEKYGUY999]

HOLY ! ALOT OF STUFF ! BUT THATS TRUE, WITH OLD PCS CAN DO ALOT, AND WHENN YOU KNOW THE INTERNET PEOPLE ON REAL LIFE THEY ARE TOO MUCH YOUNGER THAN YOU IMAGINE

[xXxThe3H3r0xXx]

This should be mandatory watching for every single Starcraft player.

[theweirdball]

youre an amazing story teller day 9!

[PianoWolfg]

Starcraft....

[leinuxelite]

[smokebreak2001]

Thank you Sean.

[bballsniper]

the comment that this thing points to suck ส็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็

[XerxesStudios]

@bballsniper No, you suck.

[Furyofdeath100]

@bballsniper yeah u suck man

[maniclehedgehog]

I have a cup exactly like that.

[WeirdBoySkuzag]

This is just amazing, really amazing how much enthusiasm Day[9] has for his hobby, I mean, something so important in his life :)

[yomoyandel]

g.g..... Clearly she wasn't caring about the important things in life lol :)

[LawlietOne]

Amazing

[Demise525]

uploaded this on my birthday 0.o

[crackshack2]

did you do this for college?

[alvingagarino]

1:09:05

3000? :\ 2 million sean :\ 2 million 600 thousand

[BrothersOfDomino]

Day9 is such a baller he's my hero

[MisterNyaah]

Can you post an mp3 link to this please? Youtube to Mp3 has a 20 minute limit >.<

[Neuromorphic0]

Does anyone know where I can find Daily #1 - #99?

[PetitCorpsSalade]

@Neuromorphic0 There : h t tp://blip.tv/day9tv#!page=106

His dailies are published here before being on Youtube, but I think that the 1080p on Youtube is better that blip.tv's HD.

[SupremeTank65]

I want to get him back his bunny so badly.

[neweteis]

OMG this video inspirated me so much thank you Day9!

[bangbangnurdead]

I've watched this probably 20 times, never gets old to me...What an amazing inspiration Day9 is

[TheChubbygit]

watched the whole video, downloaded brood war, got my next 5 years sorted out:) and you think just watching the whole video means you have no life O.o

[TONYSTARKER]

@n33rone

Obviously it's like watching a movie.

No problem here.

[crack2strong]

sixth time round and this keeps getting better.. huge respect for anyone who loves what they do as much as day9!

[n33rone]

some watched whole video? jesus you guys dont have life lol

[TheGero95]

@n33rone trolololol xD

[antiunis]

@n33rone look at mister lifer. God, i h4te people like you. Dont like it ? Dont watch it you brat.

[SaintFookinJimmy]

What I like about this guy is that he seems to be always putting out positive thoughts and advice. Need more people like that.

[curlyjo1000]

I've been very sick for the past couple days. I've been unable to eat solids and I'm on a lot of medication. My doctor told me that the only thing that will help is my pills and sleep so I haven't really been allowed out of my room. As much as things suck right now, I have watched this daily countless times over my bedridden days and I never get tired of hearing your amazing story. I find myself falling asleep very easily to your voice (no homo) and I expect to watch this video till I recover

[TheocracyX]

This is definitely one of the most inspiring things I've watched. I really like Starcraft and Starcraft 2 but my main focus in life is music. And with the music scene "failing" it seems now and nobody supportive of the idea because it's not a very "stable" job or career it's very hard to not get discouraged. But it's so awesome to see people like this who came out of nothing to doing what they love. Definitely has inspired me, majorly.

[rafla2]

@Lavidrocks i agree, but to be fair, EVERYONES challenge is their own self. That's what everyone has to conquer. The only difference is, like you said, what learning tools are used.

[pewpewlayzorfighter]

his story is like my life.. single mom and brother and me in a small town playing sc1 no broodwar and its like wow. .brought a tear to my 23 year old gamers eyes... day9 i salute u

[AdministratorSteven]

I have so much respect for you

[TheOwun]

Day 9 I'm a new sc2 player and this has really been influential to me as a person. Your story is inspirational and great. You will become the esports ambassador! Best of luck and thanks for all your hard work!

[maurodsimone]

I heard about this video being so good, but I never expected this. This words, are lifechanging... Just, I have nothing to add, it is awsome... simply awsome. Thank you Day9 for your words of wisdom!

[norfsk]

3000? 2.6 million....

[happiergnome]

Came here from commandercast(.)com article "Line in the Sand 07" which linked to starcitygames(.)com article "To my someday daughter" which linked to you. Never played starcraft and I'm more into FPS but this is about the most personal and unhindered emotional outpouring of past experiences I've ever heard. Give your mom and your brother a hug for me. As an only child from a single parent I too was extremely lucky to have a supportive family. Thumbs up man. Sorry to hear about bunny. =p

[Sickdust]

so at 7:00 i posted on Facebook "(link) Hey Listen to this guy talk about Starcraft .. for an HOUR AND 50 MINS! LULZ".. at 15:00 i deleted my post o.O I will never judge a Starcraft nerd ever again. Much Respect. Brought back memories of my own (in general, not Starcraft)

[eldon150]

tobuscus

[TheNikavashnika]

Great stuff

[ashzRo]

HOW DOES HE KNOW

[skadrumcovers]

42:00 , Mom forces school to let him go, so emotional....

[Ansikes]

@Bumsalad your wrong, many players like the members of EG get a salery for playing the gane full time, so do many othet players. also turnament winnings, and sponsors so you can pay the bills as a progamer.

[flodde1]

I wanted to hear this vid so bad cuz of all the good reviews it has recieved. Though I cba sitting listening to a 1 hour and 50 mins clip

[pwnag01]

haha oh man i bawled at g.g.

[WolfDragunov]

OMG man i love you so much i got introduced to you recently and omg this story amazing its awesome you have and had such a amazingly supportive family omg man im just still balling 30 mins after viewing you are and inspiration to us all :)

[GosuVu]

Absolutely phenomenal video. A true inspiration and life story that is both touching and moving.

[Daishi216]

Awww shieet, i still remember playing the demo of starcraft at my friends pc so many years ago

[Solium24]

This video got me into watching day9 and pushed me to start laddering on SC2 and I've watched day9 5 - 6 times a week since watching this about a year and a half ago.

[OpticJBigBalls]

@Solium24 hi im thinking about buying starcraft 2 .. how many people are still playing it .and is it for noobs like me ?

[Solium24]

@OpticJBigBalls Still a very huge game, they have different leagues based on skill, so yes its very "noob" friendly.

[iFusionz300]

this is the best youtube video I have ever seen

[12todd1]

SOMEONE make this into a movie!

[deadgoddjm]

This is the longest video I've seen on YouTube. Love it.

[larsandre256]

1:09:07 3 000? its 2 612 524 nerds watching you! shoukd have at least 10 000 000 000 000 000 views! every gamer should see this!

[fjgamerz]

How similar i went and played team games a lot massing mutas SC2 (btw) 4v4 mostly. then i went and started to try getting into 1v1 massing mutas didnt work so i began baneling busting worked great for a while then i actually took part in a tournament the excitement of being in one was amazing i won against my first 2 opponents easily and then got demolished. (Latched on to team games had gimicks, won a couple of tournament games then got demolished but took part in more because of excitement).

[krazackbuland]

This is incredible.  Inspiring beyond belief.

[flawl3sslogic]

Shaun looked a bit like Zac Braff when he was younger!

[Lindmark123]

Two years ago he posted this video, why hasnt anyone started Talking about making a movie about seans life? I would most definetly pay to make a movie about him if i was a millinaire.. :)

[TalentlessGamer]

I truly hope that this is recorded elsewhere, as this is just...inspiring.

I almost wish I could make the enthusiasm and motivation from watching this, last forever.

[Lappskallegoeswild]

The way this glorious man tells this story just makes me see everything infront of me in the format of .jpgs, this video should be seen by everyone even if they dont play video games or w/e its just so epic.

[lonewolf9567]

This vid brought up good memories with me, and my brother. Amazing.

[TiCkFLiP]

this is my 2nd time watching this...

[jabbernaut52733]

RIP Arbiters =(

[jmaltais100]

Respect Day[9]. I never quite knew how passionate about SC you were before watching this video. Pretty incredible story from what seems to be an incredible person. Keep up the daily's man and I'll help get more people included the SC circle of love :D Cheers!

[c1o5ry1991]

[nxxx33]

I really wish I had a mom like yours. My mom doesn't support me in anything I do she thinks everything should be her way. =/

[Knight1Death]

Lol

[Bumsalad]

Games are fun, but they aren't going to pay the bills. Perhaps these videos will though...

[GoldenSilence333]

@Bumsalad They will if you're good.

[Bumsalad]

@GoldenSilence333 Sure thing, however most people if they played Starcraft could be good and if you were to invest that much time in training to be a doctor you would earn 10 times more.

[Thecrazyhide]

@Bumsalad Not necessarily. Have you seen the winnings of some players? $200,000 USD if I remember correctly was from one player -- you can't really top that as a doctor. Of course I'd rather invest my time on being a doctor and helping people than a professional gamer for the less-essential entertainment, but even so, being a gamer (even semi-pro) beforehand (such as during University) can be very... fulfilling, I guess.

[VengeanceBG]

@Bumsalad You are wrong here. Games do pay the bills.

[Bumsalad]

@VengeanceBG lols go get em champ!

[slappytheelephant]

After watching this video in its entirety, I now have more respect for Day[9] than any athlete, musician, actor, or entertainer. His love for the Starcraft community is so great and he is such a class act. The Starcraft community would be a very different place without Day[9] and Tasteless. Keep up the good work Sean!

[Iamnoguitarist]

i'm now at 1 hour, i'll watch the other 50 mins tommrow, very cool story ^^
