Day[9] Daily #292 - 2v2 Week: The Basics

[andresr922]

I know there's almost no chance of day9 seeing this, but can we please see more 2v2 dailies... there hasn't been much since 2v2 week last year and they are so helpful fors us 2v2ers... thank

[BloodThirstyVince]

What do you do against a turtle team who masses cannons, and marines to stall for mass void rays? =-=

[kalekrug]

@BloodThirstyVince depending on the team you have...

the easiest answer is scout non stop.

if you see the double starport

Zerg- mass queens... then teck to corupters while expanding alot.

Terren- mass marine and eventualy get viking and medivac (try to drop and harrass)

Protoss- mass blink stalker (yes that easy)

[GeologistRob]

wow i am that poor lost lamb

[ArgiesDario]

awesome videos day9, i really enjoy them

[tommiezor]

0:12:43 WHAT HAPPEND TO YOUR ARM DAY9? :((((

[dustysniper1988]

@thinkthenscrewup

sex education = a condom

problem solved

[MrGuybrushTreepwood]

yeah i've lost to tanks and colossi a lot of times

[Linkfanoftheyear]

@MrGuybrushTreepwood I assume that there were marines involved in that right?

[THISisCHRISbloch]

awaiting episode 494

[OneUnluckyMan]

why does his vidoes pixle-at all the time? im just wondering

[DocterMuzzy]

I Scratch my chin while watching Day9 videos

[capApie5]

goofy cheesyness lol

[thinkthenscrewup]

2v2 education is like sex ed. You always want it to happen but it never does, but once it does you take notes like crazy

[MadBagOfHorses]

@thinkthenscrewup

Fucking... what!?

...lol

[zer0l0w]

does someone else has a lot of artefact's in the video?

[NortheastGamer]

@zer0l0w Day9's videos have a Newb detector codec in them that will cause some strange looking blocks if the viewer is a virgin. . . the more artifacts one sees, the more that individual needs to get laid. Also he DID mention that he needs to get a new computer so one could take that into account.

[Pirwzwhomper]

dailies these days are so psychedelic and tie-dye!

[Gabberz123]

@lordofshalot

2 spinecrawlers cost you 200 minerals (and 2 drones) which is 8 zerglings. in the early game that's HUGE when you consider the other player probably has about 16 around that time if he's doing heavy early pressure.

Also remember that each of those drones cost a further 50 minerals each and are no longer mining further depleting your army at present and future

[ShotgunForFun]

@lordofshalot 8 zerglings*

[Spanishwa]

@lordofshalot i second this

[GOOBTUBE1]

i gotta ask what happen to your arm day9?

[TheCheeseySmurf]

8 hours of sleep... BITCH I JUST GOT 12.

[Takashi0ukana]

Day9 can think o.O

[EpicSuperFail]

24:51

is

the

same

as

:)

[kaze605]

Before watching this my friend and I were not doing to well at 2v2. Now we are doing awesome although I did have to look up some good unit compositions for z+z ^^ Thanks Day9!!!

[JWMSauce]

I dont think I have ever seen Day9s ears.

[MikeSparkfist]

@JWMSauce he surgically replaced his ears with headphones

[gregkayex]

@JWMSauce you can see one here XD: 54:39

[oCANADIANo]

@JWMSauce Ear button - 29:10

[anrere]

@JWMSauce daily 100

[336forlife]

@JWMSauce Watch daily 100 :D

[kiseitai2]

Reminds me of the time my friend was dropped in the middle of a game and I had to play my race and his. He was zerg so I massed zerglings mid game and continued to pump my toss units. Eventually, our opponents starved first and we won despite having to micro 2 races. So quitting is not the answer.

[Savci008]

@kiseitai2 Having control over two players just saves you a ton of resources that the quitting player would have spent on buildings and whatnot. When my allies quit in a team game, I can just use them for eco and mass hatch+units.

[Uninite]

I'd like to give day9 a replay, but have no idea how?

[kaztor0213]

@Uninite me either? someone?? any idea?

[TheZanursic]

TT?

[11fanj2]

@day9tv please read top comments, someone is offering a video card

[gimplar]

I LOVE BUFFETS!

[IFknHateUTube]

2v2's give me a stiffy

[rawrjeevz]

i just watched the entire ad before day9's video and didnt hit 'skip' cause i wanna support him! :)

Also cause i was semi playing HoN

[paserida]

can anyone explain me the money dump/blink strategy?

[hlsghost]

@paserida Terran feeds money to the toss, the toss pretty much spams upgraded blink stalkers. Double forge, robo for obs. Sweet thing.

[paserida]

@hlsghost Thx, sounds like pretty good strat.

[hlsghost]

@paserida It's pretty fun, found it out by myself with a friend :D before this video. :>

[aldanjah]

I hate advertisements right in the middle of videos

[TheRealTrikein]

Day9, I have a ATI 5770 you can have. I made my first gamer computer to play SC2 because of your videos, so I find it only fitting. No joke, Im upgrading, you want it, its yours.

[viertro]

watch?v=kgCfnFpDTrk

[Hutcherie]

Excellten instructional video

and PS "it's very noisy in my room"...that's what she said :P

[dopeyvids]

can some one please tell me what ten pool means

[ironman7242]

@dopeyvids it refers to when the zerg player throws down his spawning pool which allows him to build zerglings

[superbud333]

@dopeyvids 10 pool is building a pool when you get 10 drones. in any other builds like 15 hatch or w.e. the number indicates the number of drones/scvs/probes built

[TheToastyToastt]

Where have all the dailies been lately? :(

[myboybovice]

counter to double 6 pool. be terran....

[Danceofmasks]

The worst ally of all time I had was when this protoss player was telling me what to do all game, when I was the better player ...

I mean, I sniped every probe in one opponent's main with some mutas, and hid them while they healed up (for swooping in when my foe counters) ... he pinged them ... I mean wtf.

Then I said, "DTs" when I saw 2 blurs. He thought I was telling him to make DTs, so he started a dark shrine. I lost a hatch while defending, and he was like "I'm gonna make observers!"

[Mareax16]

i seriously dont play sc2 at all, but still i watch every day9 daily, cause day9 is the best thing to listen to in the world!

[Apexplyr]

no adds WOOT

[navrozlal]

How can I get one of those Starcraft 2 t-shirts with the Protoss, Zerg, or Terran symbols?

[Zagrothian]

@navrozlal Jinx mate :)

[navrozlal]

@Zagrothian ... lol?

[Zagrothian]

@navrozlal The site/company where u can buy day9's shirt is called Jinx :) google it first link ;)

[navrozlal]

@Zagrothian Thanks!

[MHSlypher1]

wait DayV what ... ?? 

[nathones]

is double zerg allowed

[TheMeanEYE]

Video really gets messed up. I'd guess that format justin.tv records in is not that good or it gets messed up on their servers. Not sure how all that stuff works.

Day9 did you try converting to some other format before uploading to YouTube?

[ymosko86]

I am down with the subscription, I just want 2 pay via paypal.. (;_;)

[dong9589]

is it just me or does the screen mess up?

[SilverJackso]

@dong9589 screen messes up

[SilentXStarcraft]

Take EGIdra for example, perfect-BLABLABLA

Perfect whine

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

[Deepyking1]

yeah, at the very first second, he is looking awesome^^

[citizenstitch]

whats his addy for replays? i have a submission for worst teammate ever.

[hazelhimself]

@citizenstitch monday@day9.tv in this case.

[Volaxad]

@citizenstitch it's way to late. The videos posted on youtube have a huge delay from the streaming.

[citizenstitch]

@Volaxad i had a feeling that was the case. :(

[frenzyfol]

I think your encoding is borked.

[MrATFRaptor01]

Look out Day 9 those airplanes are proxy Phoenix's! Don't get picked up!!!

[johanullen]

There is not a million different team combinations, I think there are only 6 different team combinations...

[kaze605]

what is some good Z+Z mixes?

[kamikrazi123]

There is no cheese.

[AlmightyUniden]

@polyfly250 day9.tv

[blackstorm699]

is it just me that spends a good portion of the video hoping that some random person will walk through that door? ("thumbs up" = "wait i totally do that too")

[McsTarget]

0:23:00 windows fail :)

[n8iveidiot13]

hahahahaa 24:40 hahaahha

[EngineeringIsMagic]

day9, you're my hero, being a math student! <3

[Darkfoxx999]

If your statment is true wouldn't stalkers and hellions or stalkers and zergling function well, they're both fairly fast units

[minhboi2]

@Darkfoxx999 stalkers cant keep up with helions or lings

[MinGophers]

How's plat, day9?

[Nyuchann]

CE TYPE

[volimpe]

LOOOL @the french dude at 43:48. Man, this guy was mad xD

[lusters101]

hurray did my 2v2 placement matches and thanks to day im in platium

[penguindojo]

Someone start working on his Notepad's skin please. :P

[MakoKidEnt]

when i go to school education drops my IQ too negative 1337 but this just made me dumb :)

[phantomfeline]

Played protoss terran comp today, didnt loose a single game lol .. zealot/marine rush .. then if that fails .. MMM+voids... most games u can win unedr 10 mins with a good comp and micro management .. shared control helps too

[itschinese]

thank you day9, finally 2v2 tips!!!<3

[insight1337]

what the fuck? Advertisements right in the middle of videos???? holy crap

[itschinese]

@insight1337 if you are using firefox or google chrome, download the "adblock plus" to block all ads.

[336forlife]

@insight1337 He makes videos for an hour every day and then provides free tutorials for you to view, and your bitching about ads? His life is Starcraft, how the hell is he supposed to live?

[hahabendover]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!



[Snyphen356]

is this chees-NO

[yikeys]

This was so informative but it was even funnier than informative.

[Galleran]

22:45 Day9, you have a virus!!! That restart was caused by a virus! Google the text of that pop window! Oh gosh...

[TheToastyToastt]

28:30 - Starcraft2, now applicable to real life!

SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS!

[Barabarda]

i love you megan fox♥

[KintaroOe25]

notepad++ is better!

[ThisisTHEmarisa]

Best part: "Is this cheesy?...NO!!!"

[ryanexsus]

I always have to turn down my speakers cuz Day9 is louder than any human being I've ever heard.

[BLKVPR188]

Video quality lag made me a little sad. Other then that minor technicality, the video itselft & in-game analysis was fantastic.

[nihilozero]

New to 2v2. If I were to follow my partners lings with hellions or stalkers... would they attack the enemy when they caught up and reached their destination? Or would I then have to manually set them to attack? How about if I patrolled amidst a few of my partners units?

[Hobomo85]

lets see.. 300dailies times 1 hour.. omg... what have i done with my life.

[PinkFluffyFerret]

Best 2v2 build is TvP toss 4 gates but doesent move out and terran rushes tanks and at 7:30 move it all out and wait for gg

[Sc0ttishHitman]

Do some 2v2 with TotalBiscuit! 

[liquidtripper]

1:05:07 .. Day9 your head is distorted :S

[SuperFarmerThanMan]

"6-pooling is not an all in play!"

DAY9 YOU HAVE COMMITTED BLASPHEMY. 

[JinjixFTW]

2v2 <3

[misterpc23]

I have a video card I can give to Day [9] since I know his old one crapped out(kind of) it's an ATI/AMD XFX 5750 (Barely used). Please thumbs this up so he can see and so I can help suupport him :D

[Xzilalnx2]

@misterpc23 i don't get the impression that youtube is the best way to get ahold of day9, maybe try blip-tv(archives) or justintv(live stream)

[misterpc23]

@Xzilalnx2 lol im trying

[itschinese]

@misterpc23 email him, he would be really thankful.

[itschinese]

@misterpc23 email him, he would be really thankful.

[citizenstitch]

@misterpc23 you could just send a message. or email him.

[Fug118TheGreat]

@misterpc23

Why not P.M. him?

[lucasvandam]

@misterpc23 He never checks his youtube comments :( you can better comment this on his live stream.

[DarkMessiBan]

@misterpc23 You have 292 likes from what I see. Nice job.

[crystalwolf]

@misterpc23 I'm sure others have told you too but these videos are delayed he in fact has a whole new pc now! But I am sure he appreciates the thought! <3

[sgroebi]

@misterpc23 why dont you just send him a pm?

[Pandageddonisfun]

Day[9] = a god amongst men

[XBrokenFangX]

What money do you think he makes off this? Obviously Youtube pays him per like and Sub, but do you really know the pay scale for this? It's just about the same as JTV, where a successful streamer will make MAYBE 50 bucks a week if they're Day9 status. You act like these people are rolling in money, and they're exploiting you to get such billions. An extra 200 bucks a month is nice, but instead of having a job, most of these streamers do this. Donations are optional, not mandatory, get educated.

[bilwis11]

@hailofarws However, and that's where you are very wrong, he IS allowed to broadcast videos of SC2 and even host it on a site on which premium features are paid for. This is specifically stated in Blizzards Video Policy. I don't understand why you are so upset with this. We all get to keep what we have and now people have an added incentive to donate to a person whose FREE services they've enjoyed for years. I love the idea, and because nothing is taken from you, I can't see why you wouldn't!

[bilwis11]

@hailofarws I don't think you understood really what this subscription is about. It removes the ads from the Justin.tv day9 stream and site and you get a badge in the live chat. As day9 SPECIFICIALLY STATED in the video and on the subscription page, the day9 daily WILL BE FREE and stay that way. He is, in fact, not legally allowed to deny access to the SC2 content in his show.

[TheAllaroundgamer]

my ways are 3v3 :DDD

[NightHawk3121]

April 24th on May10 damn Day9 your slow!

[ArielPBA]

@NightHawk3121 you can see the daily at blip(dot)tv

[cocoacracka]

Where can I give you my replay!?

[superpowerfulmagnets]

the color composition for 2v2 should be red and pink vs blue and teal

[shmitz2]

Hey, check out Zachary Roth's, starcraft 2 replays ipod app! it brings all your favorite casters to the tips of your fingers!!! Now available for all versions!

[SorenityVids]

Someone in a 2v2 asked me if I watched Day9. I said yes, and he said "g.g." and left the game right off the bat. Sadly, that replay was not included.

[iamLI3]

man it seems like something goes wrong with your com every host of this you do.....

also why does half the video's video always go all color messy and make it impossible to watch?.....

[soklurgunnalovit]

Another epic ladder...Please make your mic a little less rustly next time - check audio.

[Jpersak1337]

day[9] + brother vs Idra / Kiwi yes?!?!?

[srikanth94]

how many of you wanna play 2v2 now but have no partner? THUMBS UP.... and contact me...if u wanna play with me....

[redryan20000]

dear god day9 needs to learn to be a better caster instead of teaching us to be better gamers

[AnElectrifiedApe]

can anyone tell me where to get those SWEET posters? (yes i google'd)

[hailofarws]

ok i love you day9, but dont be a fucking sell-out. you play/commentate a fucking video game u dont own, do NOT try and make profit off it...

[likang45]

@hailofarws These commentators are real people too you know. They deserve some money for all the time they are putting into what they are doing. There's nothing wrong with people trying to make a profit off of it. You would be stupid not to. Common now, just use your common sense and stop thinking everything in life has to be free for you. Without these kind of people, we won't have entertainment and this applies to not just video games.

[hailofarws]

@likang45 im sorry but, he DOES make money from this..... youtube pays him, for all the adds, for all the subs, for all the likes, all the views, and for all the comments. you know why they do "giveaways" because they make PROFIT off it. they play it like a game... most people do not know this. i just wish the youtube community would know this, they make money from it, any other payment is just being greedy.

[MrClosetgamer]

@hailofarws Totalbiscuit clarified this, youtube only gives you money for every ad, that is clicked... so if you consider nearly every video people are moaning about ads and spreading the word of adblocker.... Yeah.

[dniceo7]

@MrClosetgamer that's not entirely true, as it doesn't apply to every ad-type YT runs, but yea adblock nerfs partner revenue hardcore

[liberate9]

@hailofarws lol? What? Obviously he owns the game.. It's clearly installed on his computer..

[hailofarws]

@liberate9 blizzard owns the game look in the ToU, if blizzard wants they can make is so you can only play campaign, or vs AI, they dont have to have servers dedicated to SC.

[liberate9]

@hailofarws I had a feeling that would be yoru response. What you said was ambiguous so I picked it apart. Of course blizzard could do that but why the hell would they? Day[9] is treating this like a sport, which is very reasonable then to commentate and get paid for just as a sports center caster would. Those caster's didn't make football or baseball. Day[9] was a pro gamer, just like most of the sports casters were pro players pre casting.

[hailofarws]

@liberate9 you do realize the people that say broadcast sports games such as the super bowl have to buy the right right?

[liberate9]

@hailofarws The network does, not the caster's themselves. They get paid to just talk about it. I'm sure it'll get to that point when gaming becomes a mainstream sport. If not, that's pretty cool too

[hailofarws]

@liberate9 but, what im saying is he is the "network" broadcasting it, the "commentator", he probably doesnt have the legal rights to upload these videos, because you do need the rights to broadcast a game owned by a company, blizzard could say it is "negative advertisement", and that he is "ruining their potential customers", im not saying he is. im just saying he shouldnt do the "bonus" thing because he A. doesnt have the right to legally do it and B. just looks bad, its a game not a business

[liberate9]

@hailofarws Alright, I agree with your points but the B. portion is a little bit faulty because he is trying to promote gaming to become a legit sport. If he pours all of his time into it, it is a job. And he could potentially create a company that would boost gaming to the next level. (not saying he will, but he could and he seems reasonable enough to do it) I think blizzard embraces this kind of commentating though.. I mean day[9] isn't the only one who does it

[hailofarws]

@liberate9 im just saying i think its in bad taste to try and make that much profit off of a game thats not his, like i mean he could just ask for donations in the videos that he is making, he already does ask for donations btw. i fully support day9 dailies and all i just dont agree that the next step is making us pay for it.

[Tetsuigardm]

@hailofarws he takes time every day/week hours and hours of his PERSONAL time to cast this stuff for us, you dont think he deserves ANYTHING for it? wtf lol, he didnt even say no more dailys unless you pay or anything like that, so whats your problem.

[hailofarws]

@Tetsuigardm you dont understand, he gets payed already from google (youtube), he is asking for MORE money by asking for 5$ for "bonus" vids, since he already makes money from his dailies, and is asking for more money, i am calling him a sellout, and saying he is getting greedy.

[Tetsuigardm]

@hailofarws i understand that, and i knew that beforei made my comment, but hes a college student, he goes to school lol, he dosnt work, so this IS his income

i dont see a problem with it

[hailofarws]

@Tetsuigardm i dont agree with his decision to ask for more money than he is getting. he obviously made enough money for a year to get by why ask for more, if im not mistaken it is a 5$ monthly payment, lets say only 1/15th of his subs buy, he is making about 50000$ a month, im not saying that will happen but, this could happen, by my books thats a fuck ton of money, per month. now if i mistaken about the monthly thing im sorry but you get my point.

[kurosakibankai]

@hailofarws day9 doesnt make much money off youtube..couple hundred dollars a paycheck sure...not much tho..and he obviously owns the game...hes playing replays, he plays the game, and donations as i understand it are not something you have to do its somethings you can do IF you want to..:/ and day9 said this stuff will always be free

[RMJ1984]

So life is about building stuff at youre ramp ? rofl xD

[RMJ1984]

LMAo are you running WindowsME or Vista? LOOOL

[GlItCh017]

I watched until part 2 before I commented!

[BaldrITA]

Windows must now restart because the Plug and Play service terminated unexpectadly.

[HappysmokeSC2]

why does it always glitch? bad graphics card?

@HappysmokeSC2 I'm sure it's the fact he is live streaming and
