  • who gave the tshirt to you? angeknuspert?

    

  • "With Zerg, the correct way to lose is with 80 Drones and no units."

  • This video along with your secret to hotkeys and mouse movement video has helped me tremendously. I just started playing a few days ago so discovering these videos early on will help me build very good habits to hopefully get to high tier of play. I am almost out of the beginner league games and I plan on maining Protoss. Thx for the vids Daynine.

  • nerd

    

  • @MrMarcelineitor That's what makes him awesome :) 

  • I like to see the evolution of the community. If I played in that days like I play today, I think I would be easily a Plat~Diamond player.

  • i'm going to start this series right now because im silver and i need it, thanks for care every player not only the good ones day9!

  • I cannot understand how this guy Newtype can be in Gold. I'm in Silver and I think he is making really stupid mistakes. Not constantly building probes in the beginning, is one thing, even in Bronze I was always doing this. He gets supply blocked way too much. It happens to even the best, but the fact that he has 1900/500 in resources when going for Phoenix is NOT alright. When I do that in SILVER it feels as if I have too little resources. His macro, as Sean doesn't really say, sucks.

  • @PowerofJohras This was a time when the game just came out. Much more people played which meant that the lower leagues at the time were filled with people who really, reaaaally sucked bad.

  • @PowerofJohras This video is 2 years old, gold back then is like bronze now. The community in general has got better.

  • I accidentally the whole pylon block

  • I think this video just got me out of bronze league, thanks for helping us noobs

    

  • "You will learn that you can still win by having a lot of shit."

  • can anybody help me i want to know how to get out of bronze league??

  • @HUNT3RV I would say this video covers that well. Pretty sure im going to jump to silvers in like a day by the way my matches have been going. All i'v really been doing is building supply and probs times one million lol

  • I'm literally just starting to play SCII where is some kind of resource for a guy like me? I get this is newbie tuesday, but all this is going over my fucking head

  • @DarthFlaw you can look at beginner videos or you can find a buddy who plays and he can help you out

  • really helped me specially at assigning hotkey as a toss. tnx!

  • 23+ 3 often times equal to the "number J"

  • Can someone please explain to me what this thing with hotkeying units is? Why would you hotkey different units to different keys instead of just all your units to one. Also, does that mean I have to rehotkey them every time I get a new unit. Finally, how do I clear a Hotkey because that really needs to be done : P

  • @Phobzi Different units need to be micro'd differently. some you can bunch together but for example if you have Banelings and you attack move with a bunch of lings then whenever they come across an enemy unit they'll just explode and be wasted.

  • This video had me from going 0-22 to 8-1, im bronze league and still suck but being able to win games makes the game SOOOO much better :)

  • @goinghunting2479 yes yes it does . . . I absolutely hate losing especially if I don't learn anything from it. . . I look at my replays and am like wth? But now Since I watch those SC2REplay. I get better each time hehe looking at what they do and what i need to

  • Does anybody actually watch ALL of Day[9]'s shit? An hour show every day? Jesus christ, get over yourself dude.

  • @Narcissus468 well yeah i got to platinum is 4 months because of him and i want to get to diamond

  • @Narcissus468

    hour a day isn't bad, I think.

  • @Narcissus468 if u don't like the vids or don't want to watch an hour every day so u don't have to...

    But I bet u watch tv more than an hour per day :>

  • @Narcissus468 well it maybe bad for you just not for the rest of us I guess. . . Just don't watch man no ones forcing u

  • 54:40 early fusion core dance

  • I always find myself not building enough gateways / barracks

  • this is bronze league on the EU ladders

  • Why does your shirt say "angeknuspert"? That means... nibbled on... :S

  • @eggroll9000

    its a quote from a famous german caster

  • Comment removed

  • @eggroll9000

    i dont get what you want to say with that :D but thats a shirt u can buy in the supportshop of that caster :D

  • 3:45 Damn... Did someone put acid in my coffee again?

  • 14 people have let their macro slip?

  • @pianomikey0 15.

  • Lol at the first game NA must be really noobie if thats Gold you will get demoted from bronze in EU if you play like that

  • Makes me wonder if this is "old" tips now.

    Because I tried this in Bronze and now in Silver. What happens to me? Blue Flamed Hellion drops. xD

    Plus people in Bronze or Silver, or "noobs" in Starcraft 2, are doing all those fancy things that I read on Forums and someone even tried a MLG build. So I am not sure if these tips "just Pylons and Probes" can still hold up today.

  • @megacoolerman just try playing the way that Day9 explained it in this video, even to the part where you repeat to yourself "build more probes, build more pylons". then you will see how much you are NOT producing when actually you should be. and use the keyboard, forget about the mouse. it was the my first big mistake not to take keyboard shortcuts seriously. 

  • @megacoolerman The thing about all those MLG builds and all is that they all rely on timing and that timing is going to be off if you don't have your mechanics right.

    In short, you can't do those (at least not proberly) unless you can do what Day[9] explains in this video.

  • im a super noob i just got my game a week ago can anyone tell me what Macro means? like i heard it a bunch in all these videos but what does it mean? thanks.

  • @iluminandoscholar

    it refers to macromanagement as opposed to micromanagement - you basicly try to manage you economy and production as good as you can when macroing while microing focusses on the little details at key moments (e.g. stalker or high templar placement during a battle)

  • @QWquincyWQ thanks for the help :)

  • makes me never want to leave bronze

  • 3:39 to 3:50 his stream was invaded with some sort of strange disfigured alien made up of purple squares

  • WOW that helped a lot

  • how do I upload Sc2 replays? :P

  • 3:50 is it my sceen that is fucked up??

  • 51.10 till about 51.20 was so funny!

  • Why don't you just log in and then start the stream?

  • "23+3 is often 26."

    

  • my computer just pixil fucked my comp and i just wached an acid trip about starcraft 2 were a rainbow mouth grey 6 eyes and started talking

  • So when playing as protoss you should make pylons and probes. But what should you get out for an offensive force? Lots of Zealots? Stalkers? Immortals?

    I know you should have a LOT more than the guy in the first game. But how much should you have? Because you obviously have to focus on it rather than the pylons and probes for a bit right?

  • @HadesWTF Think of it this way, workers are OP, the most OP unit in starcraft is workers and they should allways get prioritised. You can start up a game against an easy comp and just sit with one nexus and build workers and pylons/suply depots constantly, just too get that part down at first, then go in to an other game and start adding other structures, will help your macro alot :)

  • 51:14 .... "All right man, high five lets play some 2v2." Epic.

  • aud dem t-shirt angeknuspert ;)

  • I'm a year behind... >.>

  • @chefhenk There is always time to learn... I'm starting now aswell!

  • acid trip episode

  • Is he really wearing a homerj "angeknuspert"-Shirt? well that's cool. :)

  • thanks this has helped me understand where i have been going wrong as i have only just started playing so going to practice more and maybe ill get better

  • if u are a zerg player and make 2 many zerglings and the other guy doesnt attack thn why dont u just attack him?im a noob and never played this game so can some1 explain?

  • @mqkhas wall offs and units behind them can kill off all your zerglings for nothing

  • Another thing. In the example d9 showed us. You don't need that 2nd gas.. srsly, you can save 3 probes and 75 minerals and just make more zealots and stalkers. Sentries are cool, but their damage is terrible. with that 1 gas you can like go into a nice zealot/stalker mix with a few sentries and have money for expanding.. It's shown in daily #175- adel's no gas. I think it works well with noobs too, because you have 1 less thing to worry about-- having way too much gas and not enough minerals.

  • @Zandonus im totally new t this game but i thought that sentries are really their for their forcefields and gaurdian shields ? of course their damage is gonna suck if it didnt that would be one of the most powerfull units in the game

  • @Zandonus im totally new t this game but i thought that sentries are really their for their forcefields and gaurdian shields ? of course their damage is gonna suck if it didnt that would be one of the most powerfull units in the game

  • @wildefice1 the thing is, that a lot of new players have barely any idea where and how to place the forcefields. They just *somewhat* copy the unit composition of the pros that are playing, but without *optimal* forcefield placement, that gas could be used on say.. zealot legs or forge weapon/armor upgrades

  • @Zandonus thats true

  • Another thing. In the example d9 showed us. You don't need that 2nd gas.. srsly, you can save 3 probes and 75 minerals and just make more zealots and stalkers.

  • on queueing: IT'S A CHRONOBOOSTED probe, it takes like no time to finish. he had the money for the cyber anyway, he KNOWS he forgets to build probes, he is probably aware of that, he just makes sure that he has more probes. The guy has low apm for a reason- not checking his hotkeyed nexus/gateway to see their build bars. Of course he could be doing it like the pros.. but... it's not AS big as a deal if he JUST doesnt build probes, ENTIRELY forgets about the probes.

  • anyone else got an LSD experience at like 4:00 when he typed in his ''password''

  • DAY 9 MADE ME DO IT!

  • add me day9 <3 i want to play sc2 with you...

    hockey_superstar_96@hotmail.co­m

  • Can you make a protoss macro guide? :)

  • pylons and probes... pylons and probes

  • the audio/video is terrible at the start, but fine after that :)

  • Great Vid btw, used it to show a friend who is having trouble with his Macro. oh, Note: if you dont see the standard ammount of buildings in you opponants base, BE VERY AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS, he is most likely useing some Cheesy tactic.

  • "Quickly Warriors lift them in the sky."

    Thanks for the vid it was very helpful.

  • Just started this game, its crazy hard so far and i haven't won once, seriously my head feels like its gunna explode when i try and think of all the things i have to do

  • @lucaschallenger Man I'd like to say I'm beginning also. Just watched this vid and it's really like that you must play. I'm the stereotype of the Zerg player who's got too much money and makes spine crawler. At least I manage quite well my creep tumors :/

    But hey, don't worry and keep up the good work, don't worry to loose a bit though...

  • wow this helped ALOT

  • very interesting, day 9 is the best

  • Comment removed

  • Holy crap, it's like you peered into my newb mind, took every problem and showed me what I was doing wrong. Wow. If you ever need more money you should take up a job teaching.

  • The sync is fine unless i do HD

  • @Jacen230 Everything I do looks like one. So it's cooooo brah.

  • Im bronze, and i have to say that im 20x better then that gold player toss noob... But im still stuck in bronze. FML

  • @MrXcllusive this is September 2010 o.o

  • @MrXcllusive Saem breh. I always lose to gay shit breh. Go in a guys base, he has a gateway on the way, im like damn hes slow. I start killing probes then 6 FUCKING ZEALOTS RUN INTO MY BASE. I'm just like sheeeet.

  • @MrXcllusive like 4 or 5 months after release when that game was played

  • Make the Pylons and probes Tshirt

  • do you know what? i am going to rewatch the whole thing >.< 

  • just woundering, shal i still constantly make a worker even if i have like 40 on 1 base? :s

  • @lolsa123 In that case just cue the base with 40 to a different bases mineral patch causing the newly built probes to go to an expo when built, also the max number of probes needed at a single base is 30 so transfer 10 probes to an expo,

  • @Schlamp96 thank you :D

  • warum hat der n "Angeknuspert" shirt an? xD

  • JESUS CHRIST WHAT IS GOING ON

  • I wonder how newtype feels after this.

  • @ThisoneguySC2

    I went straight to diamond. 

  • 3:36 TRIPPING BALLS

  • Learned so much from this video

  • the last game play from you really made me understand fully. I am so happy can't wait to try this out tmr after I get my sleep cause now it;s 3.00

  • 3:36 WHAT DRUG DID I TAKE THIS TIME!?

  • when logging into your starcraft 2 account, and you reveal your password and email you need to think not how did i end up in this situation, you need to think how could i have avoided this situation in the first place.

  • @1337penguinking Well, actually, you should think of how you ended up in that situation, so you can avoid it in the future. that is, if you don't wanna beat yourself up for every bad thing you do, for the rest of your life.

  • on a date, pylons and probes! GG

  • Googled pylons and probes t-shirt and what do you know? One actually came up. I'm defiantly picking one of those bad boys up.

  • 53:50 "Do I make drones or do I make workers"

    I know what he ment, but was funny

  • everytime I end watching these videos I really feel like playing again...

  • That zerg player was awful though O.o

  • Oh nevermind, just saw where the shirt is from

  • The name on your shirt sounds German. Do you live in Germany or something?

    Sorry if this is a total noob question from some noob that is not "wise" to the sc2 community.

  • @MrTubeard dear god

  • 58:33 Mjölnir = Meeyolneer

  • 31:37

    best scene

  • Dude, thanks so much for these videos. I recently started playing SC2, and tonight I shot up to Platinum League 2v2--all thanks to you. Previously, I played in pretty much all Bronze Leagues. I still suck, but this single video improved my gameplay so much. Thanks again!

  • why youtube do you ruin my fully loaded video when it is expanded and especially when its totally on accident because i double clicked with out enough time in between on the video i hate you.

  • @ridizzle189 I know wat u mean it's frustrating

  • @ridizzle189 For real! youtube tends to piss me off a lot know days. like even the way it searches now is not like it used to be. :(

  • I have to ask, he was talking about hotkeys, would it be a good idea to hotkey forge/Engeneer bay/Armory/other research structures to hotkeys? and how do I know which units to hotkey where?

  • @ZKoftherebellion yes you should! As Terran I like CC: 4 Rax: 5 Factory/Starport: 6 Engineering Bay/Armory/Ghost Academy: 7. I'll hot key several SCVs for building at 3. Main Army: 1 and 2 is free for harassing units. i just started but this has been working well.

  • @ZKoftherebellion Whatever you feel comfortable with, and yes it's a good idea to hotkey research structures. I go with 1-3 units 4 = CCs 5-7 production facilities 8-0 misc. If you have an army like vikings/marines/tanks put them all on different hotkeys because air units (medivacs are an exception) need to be microed differently than your ground army, marines/muraders need to use stim, and tanks need to be able to go in siege mode.

  • LOL I thought i was high at 18:30... the video just changed colors and moved up and down and turned... lol

  • Im not kiddin when he started the replay and started talking about the probes and other stuff..... i seriously thought he was on crack, just yellin out stuff.... but then i realized what he was talking about. this is very great

  • the shirt says "chewed on" :)

  • thank you, this has helped a lot

  • 41:30 "we don't care about the minimap today."

    !?!?!

  • also, in addition to the unit/building hotkeys, new players can have command hotkeys show up in the command card thing on top of the command buttons: menu > I think its gameplay > something along the lines of "show hotkeys on command buttons"

  • most helpful, thank you sir

  • holy crap i love this LSD trip XD

  • MR. day 9? at what point do we want to stop producing workers due to the fact that the more workers we have limits the number of combat units available, is there a cap?

  • @Mechtc71 as zerg i tstop around 60-70 workers max i would think its the same with terran and toss

  • are you soothing your computer? hawt.

  • There is nothing wrong with Doritos + Couch + Starcraft ;)

  • @oishis02 you sit on a couch to play starcraft? that must suck.

  • @oishis02 i wanna suck yo fuckin dick

  • When you were loading up the game at the 1:02:00-ish mark the tip that the game gave was excellent.

    "The key to a strong economy is constantly training SCVs, Probes, or Drones."

  • who had the bigger fail here, Day[9] or newtype? :P

    

  • 3:36 - 4:20

    day 9 has evolved into a zerg!!!!!

  • @Jacen230 Good. I'm really, really glad to hear your video messed up. I'm very happy. ... That means my video card isn't messing up. Kbai

  • Day 9 was recommended to me by an in game friend. Been playing two weeks, and the way he explains it, keeping it in simple terms is really the best out there, imo. This video on fundamentals is priceless. Thank you

  • @Jacen230 I wish

  • Angeknuspert?! Only an American laught about that xD

  • @TheCrunsher So what does it mean? :)

  • @HifSpeed something like taking a little bite of something^^

  • loving the tripouts when his computer lags

  • OMG DAY9 PEN SPINS :DDDDDDDDD

  • this video alone improved my sc2 play more than any new strategy or unit mix

  • I like his T-shirt...does anybody here speaks german too...?

    "ANGEKNUSPERT" just hilarious...

  • @AlixEs778 yeah i do but i don't know what anknuspern means lol.

  • I have the problem when playing Zerg that I start having about 5000 Minerals, but only 200 Gas most of the time cause of mutas, hydras and so forth. And then I Can never spend those minerals and feel like I am doing a horrible job. So I just throw in ranom Speedlings.

  • @CaptainBakaSama I'm only in Gold so take my advice with a little caution as I'm not good but, as zerg I throw down more hatcheries and spore/spine crawlers to keep my minerals lowish and just pump out speedlings out of the hatcheries. Be aggressive with them so you can keep making more. Target expansions, stray units eg.

  • @CaptainBakaSama I start to have the same problem lategame... What I've realized is that after I get my first 2-3 gysers, I stop.... And then I never have enough gas. Lategame a Zerg should be on 3-5 bases, the key is making sure you're harvesting every gyser... Which I still do not do.

  • What does his shirt mean? Because it's german and he's obviously not.

  • 17:34 XDDDDDDD so many times

  • day 9 can you post one of my games on the day 9 daily newbie tuesday find my game on sc2replay type in jizzmypants as player thats my name lol type that to find my games pick which ever you like

  • @Tommy9834 Tommy you're retarded, he DOES teach sc2

  • You defiantly could teach a course on SC2

  • Day[9]'s words for zerg: Make drones, make lords (overlords), make drones, make lords, make drones, make lords...

  • yay i am a poweranger^^

  • angeknuspert haha :D

    

  • 04:19 Magic arm eraser

  • awesome daily but your camera needs some fixing lol... 0:18:48

  • is day9 a zerg player or p or t in sc2?

  • @Jellybottlebabies I think he plays random.

  • @6000superfatcats thanks
