My Life of Starcraft - Day[9] Daily  

Always remember to believe in yourself and dream big - has to be in the running as well.

I'm glad I'm not the only one going back through these and reliving the nostalgic days of growing up with this treasure of an entertainer and person

@Dy Ju Glad you're watching too friend. I'd often go to check most vids to see if people still watched him. Love day9 forever

I prefer the "Dont be sad that the times have gone, be glad that they happened" ~~ Adolf Hitler

“This is something you work on”.

I love how it got recommended to me. What a throw back to when I was just a teen.

das rite

Love this video… brings back so many good memories.

true true

I wonder how many lives Sean Plott has touched/improved. His 3mm subs is obviously a major under accounting.

DMT/•/TV jjj

Same here. I actually just started playing Starcraft

he is telling the story of a gamer awakening... are hole hearted gamer and to be honest it doesn´t really matter what good game he is talking about...

@@philxdev word

I play Starcraft but the way he told this story really got me invested into the video, I checked this out thinking I probably wouldn't finish an almost 2 hour video, but well I ended up enjoying every single second.

And that's not even a mom-joke!

Well it is a joke and it is about someones mom *pushes up against face" so technically it is a mom joke!

Sean's mom so supportive the only known material from which a space elevator can be constructed is Sean's mom

And now, in 2020, she's part of Frost Giant and their endeavors to continue the RTS spirit found in SC and SC2. Huzzah!

@@headlights-go-up Fortnite is better than starcraft. You kids don't know what a real game is. starcraft is boring and a waste of time. Fortnite is super deep and just a better game overall.

same

Love the game happy we have thr community still

Day9 for president

+Genesiscrimsonheart Too true, wrote a comment and read yours and you worded yourself so much better about it. Sick that a dude I've never met has had such an impact on how I lead my life and how I look at the world. gl hf man :D

+Genesiscrimsonheart Sames. Was watching the daily pretty much, well, daily when i was in sixth form (last stage of high school equivalent) not only because it was awesome starcraft knowledge but because Sean often had little analogies and lessons and comments that always just felt like pure golden nuggets of wisdom.

+Jee Charns sometimes I worry about when he's going to stop and what I will do without it haha

+Genesiscrimsonheart I really agree here. Sean has had a massive impact on my life too. Not just starcraft but as I write this comment Im (minorly procrastinating) finishing my application to Harvey Mudd University. The only reason I am applying is because of him and how he has talked about it.

I really can't even say that I enjoy starcraft anymore, but I am glad that it brought me to his guy here because he is the best! I hope you get in buddy!

3 million* Haha, not 100 % correct tho :/)

Try 3 million Sean.

***** think he meant the peple that were watching the livestream :P

why u bring tears to my eyes sean, why u do dis

It really did feel like an amazing emerging scene in america. It was exciting and there was tons of content and amateur tournaments, lots of fun parody songs and such. It was such a huge part of my senior year of college and the year following that. It's really sad to see everything fall so far by the wayside with how big it was and how long brood war has lasted. Don't get me wrong, Magic is my game and magic content is great but I really miss the old dailies and constant barrage of SC2

TEN YEARS HAVE PASSED - yikes, look at the time

@@ShoutsWillEcho1 So crazy. Time will really get away from you before you know it

Man why did i have to read this, i miss incontrol

Yep. I remember watching this in high school. Just saw it pop up on my YT recommendeds

Lmao no kidding. Time flies man

Corsair Joshua I love your pic under this vid :D

Me too.

im 13, and this guy is awesome. i got starcraft anthology in 2003 (i was 3 years old, my dad burned his copy of the game!) and ive been playing starcraft since! im still in bronze league, but i havent given up yet! at 3 years old my apm was around 5-6 making marines, to 6 years old with a 15 apm making goliaths and marines, up to now with 80 apm dropping 12 pools... i really need a change of strategy...

Damien Quinton Im gonna be that prick that calls you out on knowing nothing about child development. Babies often take their first steps before they are 1. Kids are starting to write at 3, having conversations, building things, riding a bike. They can very well mess about with a video game. There are video games out there designed for 2 year olds. Are they going to grasp something like starcraft? maybe not, but they can still mess about with it.

listen. i was able to make marines and move them around. thats it.

Well,i love Starcraft 2,but i don't really expect my family to support me,because they ofc will think that it's stupid...putting aside that i suck at it :/

Damien Quinton A three year old playing starcraft and simply making marines doesn't sound so crazy assuming he watched a parent a bit before hand. At three years old I was playing the Legend of Zelda, a Link to the Past on the SNES. I was just running around the overworld, killing soldiers, with no idea how to progress. Oftentimes I would recognize something like "Hey, I really like the song that plays in that foggy forest" So I would just go and kill bad guys in that forest, so the theme would play constantly. However, over time I figured out the map button, saw there were flashing things on the map, and simply deduced that was where I should go. Children aren't always bumbling idiots who just want to put things in their mouth and cry. And most (not all, every child develops differently though there may be similarities to other children.) children are walking, I mean full on "you better have you house childproofed" adventurous kind of walking, at 2. Not just taking their first steps. Anyways, next time you "call someone out on their bullshit" don't start making immediate assumptions to that person's character, like guessing when they might have actually bought the game or hinting that their the type of person to lie about themselves. Considering your profile claims you are 18 years old, I would go so far to say you simply assumed your statement of children taking their first steps at 3, and would go as far to say you should probably stop assuming things altogether or start being prepared to google . Did I just make the same assumptions you did? Yes, but at least I took a minute of my time to the weakest bit of research required to make my assumption more of an educated guess.

RIP Day9

juxtapose519 I guess thats the Power of Day[9] ^^

yep this should be a movie " DAY[9] : Crafting a star "

No, nothing is right anymore…

+Andre Nowaczek it was recorded in 2010??

+Andro Slavic sarcasm?

***** i was reffering on another post about video quality...didnt express myself the best way possible. :)

oh ok ;)

Andre Nowaczek new meme

what a great girl!

you are the lucky one, Felicity

The important thing is that he is still the same great guy and that's all we could've hoped for.

“Diablo 3 is terrible” okay lmao

I think it's the charisma that Day9 has which overwhelm us to try harder. The first time I saw this video, i wont say that it changed my life, but for the better part i felt hopeful of the future. Just try to live your life maybe with 10% of the charisma that day9 has and you will be fine my friend.

Are you two moping over the fact that you're neckbeards? Seriously, you made your own beds, don't cry like you are some victim. There are people out there homeless and starving and you're having some kind of emotional breakdown over living an existence in which you CHOSE. Get up, make the change, be a better person. Have goals, get your degrees, get a good job and most importantly please go to the gym.

LulzRoyce Depression isn't moping, buddyroo. Not all of us get to choose the lives we end up in. Maybe you live in a privileged world where all choice is easy and free. I had to move out of Iraq with my family two years after the war and we've had to move countries twice more since. Don't ridicule strangers' lives when you don't know about them. All of that aside, even if someone got to choose their life and are dissatisfied bout it, it doesn't mean you can be a shithead to them. You can't just choose to change your life when you're depressed. It's a disease. People have a hard time getting out of bed, never mind going to the gym or getting goals. Here's a video where a kind and successful dude is describing the struggle that led him to where he is, and here are two people saying that they're in a hard part in their lives and this helped them. Why do you have to jump in the middle and tell them they're being assholes for not being happy enough, or accuse them of stereotypes from 20 years ago, and then top it off by acting like you know what life is all about? How do people being grateful and sharing bits of their life disturb you so much?

iDragonarion I get it man. I've been through similar issues, and something that surprised me to no end is that, despite how often this phrase gets thrown around, it gets better. It doesn't get better instantly, and to my experience, it isn't happening easily either, but it gets *better*. I know how it feels, and I heard people say that and I found it impossible to accept, but it's true. Noticing things getting better, myself starting to feel better, darker moods and urges not hitting me quite as hard, it's a wonderful thing I can't accurately describe. There will always be people like that guy, you handled that pretty well imo. It's not specifically related, but this story I'm about to relay actually had a big impact on me and definitely made me happier. I actually got to meet Sean at the 2014 Redbull Battlegrounds last year. After Bomber won casters and players, cool people from the community like Temp0 were just hanging around everywhere and talking to people and chilling. I'm not comfortable getting into details about my story, but to directly contrast the ways I had been feeling, the sense of community, this really just, jovial warmth of all these people was infectious. When I say I got to meet Sean, you have to understand I actually *met* him. And I have to say he is by far one of the nicest people on the planet bar none. I've always liked him and his humor and personality, loved the dailies, his decktaculars are also fun, he was their standing around with a line of people to get him to sign stuff. There were some players I wanted to meet but Day9 took priority. I stood in line for like half an hour, but it wasn't because there was a huge line (which there was), I was actually like, 8th or so in line. It took so long because when you go to meet Sean, it's not just, "alright hey what's this? sure I'll sign it. glad you had a good time. next" First thing he does is smile and say "Hey I'm Sean, what's your name? Shakes your hand. Well hey there [your name here] how's it going? How'd you enjoy the tournament? He asks you about the games, what you liked, he genuinely talks to you. He's really gracious and involved, the guy before me had a 10 minute conversation about a game series they had both played. You can really tell he's not there just because, he's there because he wants to be, he cares, he's really polite, and really tall, easily 6'2". He doesn't overdress, he wears jeans with his blazer, he's really down to earth and just a really fun guy in a genuine way. Meeting everyone there you get kind of nervous and starstruck, and you're nervous and you don't want to be awkward or anything, but meeting Sean was none of those things, it was an absolute blast. We talked about his videos, about how I like the zerg ones best as a zerg player, asked for his advice holding immortal sentry all ins, his supervisor said everyone had to go outside because the line was too long. We went outside and I got a photo with him, my friend was calling me during when I was trying to take pictures and he took that really well and was patient. Signed my keyboard really well, was a really cool guy just all around. You see him in videos? How awesome he is? He's every bit of that in person and if there's one person I would want to hang out with after a tournament it's him. Hearing him talk at the end about what he wants with starcraft, it's really cool to hear that and to know that he's done those things. He's doing those things. He is that person he wants to be. Sean is my favorite person in esports.

Dude, thanks so much for the story. I was grinning pretty hard throughout :D

Why did you say but?

Does 2021 count?

2021 baby!

Yes I would agree with that. It's so long ago- time kinda just flies.

2021 checking in

2022 and still rocking!

2022 revisiting here.

Gam3rnathan ;-;

+Cubi Studios Yeah that's pretty much my family

Tool Time what do you mean? He's referring to day9 (Sean) and tasteless (Nick) who are in fact brothers...

the video itself is even older

rip

i watch it about once a year, just to see how great videogames and gaming culture can be

im still watching this hahhaa

3000 nerds? We love you 3000 Day9!

Remember to rewatch soon! Maybe a little Christmas cheer up day[9] edition.

It's such a good, and inspiring story. I've had this on in the background a couple times, whenever school starts being too much,

BRUH

It's lessons translate to the world as a whole, that's why. Starcraft was a pivotal point in a lot of our lives, and Day9 is very good at explaining a life that many of us have lived. We'll be back many more times :D

Fubble123 dis so gud

You just wasted your life playing starcraft. I pity you.
