STARCRAFT?! - The Best Protoss Micro of All Time 

fuck, day9 casting some brood war, what a great fucking year to be alive

“Hell. It’s about time.”

wait are we back on starcraft?? im so in!

daddy finally came home with the milk!

HELL YEAH, ARTOSIS IS ACTIVE, TASTELESS IS ACTIVE AND NOW DAY9?!

I wanna correct a misconception about 18th century warfare. The reason why the advanced armies of Europe used fairly strict line formations was not because it was considered "honourable", but because it was ruthlessly efficient for getting to an optimal range to fire as many musket balls as possible, while enabling commanders to maneuver formations in order to get good sight lines. This was all very difficult and required soldiers to be strictly drilled to follow orders even if they couldn't see anything on a smoky battlefield to ensure each unit arrived at the right place at the right time. Once everyone was in position, properly drilled soldiers could shoot very efficiently and would, ideally, have a positional advantage, enabling them to quickly flank and decimate the enemy. Meanwhile, these armies did employ skirmishing troops who would have better rifles and training for operating independently. It should be noted that line infantry often did use cover when fighting defensively, but when on the offense, it was occasionally necessary to march in the open while under fire because your effective range or sight lines may not have allowed you to fire back effectively, or because another formation relied on you to get into position in time for their part of the attack to work. There is a trope that this was done because it was considered "honourable" (of course, it WAS considered honourable to follow orders properly without complaining), but when you look at the weapons and methods available to these armies, it's clear that the guiding principle was ruthless efficiency. This was also the period in which these armies developed modern artillery and chemical weapons, which are clearly not honourable methods for fighting. But until explosives and automatic guns made tight formations untenable, these formations were more effective in an era where positioning, manual reloading, and even the prospect of charging into melee combat were highly determinative of success.

That ending... SnOw chill OUT man, this guy has a family

DayJ on Starcraft? I am not crying, someone is cutting an Artosis Pylon.

Terran music really is the best

27:51 the amount of times a new Shuttle comes to save that Reaver is so gross it’s funny

"he beat my ass for an hour and then quit" is one of the most shameful things I can ever imagine saying hahahaha you hate to see it

The way map control works in Brood War is still unrivaled to me, after all this time. Not being able to just A-move a deathball opens up so much.

snow's laugh just haunting my brain right now. that reaver micro is disguuuuusting. he's so good it hurts

That Manner pylon at the start is so damn clever. Just the way it synergizes with the zealot to generate additional value out of thin air is a thing of beauty. If marines don't tear it down, it continues to harass you. But if the marines are tearing it down, the zealot is harassing you instead. Such a brilliant way to divide the small number of resources Terran has at the start, and leverage your slight advantage into even more pressure out of nothing.

Now we are getting to the real OG day9. Day9 daily some of my favorite times.

REGULAR STARCRAFT CONTENT FROM DAY9!!! This is the best day since the release of remastered!

Day9 and Brood War is perfection. As soon as I heard that Terran music I couldn't believe it

Day9 is so effortlessly personable and funny, it's legit wild to me. His style is still unlike anything I've seen from any other eSports host or content creator -- like the streamer equivalent of a cozy fireplace.

Its been years since I watched (not a MTG fan) and I couldnt help notice the ring and found out you got married a few years back. Just wanted to say congratulations and its good to be back!

I had to watch the last 15 minutes of this standing up. Havent felt this excited about the game in like 20 years! Thank you!

The amount of minerals left on the map at 50 minutes in a top level game. Nonstop aggression. What a fun game

Your struggles with the cat 6-ish minutes in is one of the most relatable things I've seen. Love your content, thanks for being a continually positive influence in the community.

That ending was just the cherry on top of a bully sundae.

so hyped he does sc1 again. i'm not even playing sc1 in multiplayer but there's almost no better entertainment than Sean talkin about sc1

God I would love you casting Starcraft at least semi-regularly. Both Brood War and SC2 scenes are still amazing to this day

If it's possible, please do some analysis of ASL games. I love watching them with Tasteless and Artosis, so getting a thorough analysis of these games by the Professor himself after that would be like dessert after a good meal.

Snow is unquestionably the funniest broodwar player ever

Ancient prophecies told of the hour Day9 would return to Starcraft... 💀❤

OMG!!!!!! PLEASE BRING BACK FUNDAY MONDAY!! I was literally just rewatching all the old Funday Monday episodes the last couple of weeks!

I wish SC would come back as a main stay of Day9. Edit: Wait, I think he literally said he was planning on doing just that!

Man this made me realize how much i miss funday mondays. Please come back to the scene, we need you more than ever.

51:50 the archon surprised to be there haha

Anyone one have translations for the in-game chat? So good to be watching Day9 Starcraft again!!!

"I'm back. - Michael Jordan" - Sean Plott

Oh the Day[9] Daily is up, sweet...wait, checks calendar, checks surroundings, checks phone - this can't be, has the last 10 or so been a fever dream, I'm questioning the very fabric of reality here, was my corporate job, my colleagues, my niece and nephew, all an illusion? Help - should I see a doctor?

That Terran game music just drags me right back 25 years 😊

Oh my god… ARE THOSE GREY HAIRS?! Gah! My soul! I remember it like it was yesterday… Starcraft 2 had just released, and Day9 was on his 91st Day9 Daily when I first saw him. DayJ… The Lyote… and then I caught up with him again in my Dota days when he casted The International! Day9, from a long time fan, it has been such a wild ride. I hope the years have been kind!

Your hitting me in the feels day 9

i never would have seen that ending coming

props to T for going toe to toe with this freak of nature

NO WAY !! THE TIME HAS COME ONCE AGAIN ! HELL FUCKING YEAHHHHHH ! ALL HAIL SEAN !!!!!

Ohhhh yeah! StarCraft and Day9!! Is there any better combo!! 💜

Whaaaat?? I've kept subscribed but never expected Any Starcraft from Day9 anymore :O

It’s funny how the match not only shows how the way the game is played has evolved, but also the BM alongside it!

At some point, you gotta think killing shuttles from the sky is worth a single starport. By the 5th shuttle you gotta be thinking, he's just gonna keep doing it

Day 9 analyzing Star craft matches is so so so so so so so so so fucking good. His analytical style is unparalleled.

I've been waiting so many years for more Starcraft.

I always like seeing some day 9 starcraft analysis - maybe a day9 weekly or biweekly instead of the old daily? I'd love to see more consistently

Two seconds in and I've already been transported back to those happy days as a young teen without a care in the world just jamming Brood War with my buds. That Terran battle theme, man.

I love day9 no matter what he's doing, but man do I miss day9 sc videos

Day 9 is saying words about Starcraft and I am incredibly here for it. I played some BW but didn't invest a lot of time until SC2 came out. The Day9 Dailies taught me so much about fundamentals and were so good they're still relevant today for anyone looking to improve despite all the changes that have been made since. I'm so happy to hear he's focusing on BW/SC2 again since few things in gaming make me more excited than listening to his analysis!

Holy shit even just 10 seconds of Day9 casting Starcraft, it's like going home again.

day9 playing Brood War?!?! I feel like I am revisiting my youth 😁 I need to get some junk food to complete the experience ASAP!

the champion returns. the long awaited return to starcraft has been why ive kept you on my radar since the death of mass SC2 content

Wow, what an epic, fun game! Love getting to hang out and just enjoy the game with Day9 - a total riot!

This was Nostalgic AF, I forgot about you Day9 and then it all lit up when i saw you again. Yea we're ancient but there we're great times. Love to see ya again. Didn't even realized i missed yah :D

Your Day9 Dailies xovering Brood war and SC2 strategies are what got me into your channel in the first place. Haven't tuned in for a while but I'm back for this!

He says "am I crazy" just like his brother lol @1:36

ive watch the meta of sc bloom into something special. whats VERY interesting is how the pro scene evolved into the meta of players in "fastest map possible" scene

So glad to see you back on starcraft, your old coverage was the best.

Artosis has chills right now, wherever he is

Omg yes ! Hallelujah Day9 is back on starcraft ❤🎉

I have missed you casting Starcraft. SOOOO much! GG WP!

OMG Day9 + Starcraft?? Plz, more!

Omg, craziest and funniest game of the decade, so fun to watch your content again!

I'm glad Day9 has found such massive success through card games etc but they just aren't my thing (my brain is far too small) so it's really nice to see Starcraft stuff pop up, I've missed this man and his charming analytical brain a lot. Looking forward to the occasional SC videos going forward. :3

hell yes back to broodwar!!!! finally!! I check in every few months in case something like this happened. Thank for those learning broodwar vids back with remastered came out.

This hit my nostalgia like a ballistic missile. My god. Thank you Day 9

The craziest thing about this game is that the Scarabs only derped out like, twice

The new Day9 Daily has more cat content than I remember.

No Zealot legs? What is this, funday monday?

SC1 music is *chefs kiss*. Timeless classic OST. Terran is my favorite, toss my 2nd favorite, though the Zerg tracks are also good.

I cant believe it. Welcome back, commander! We've missed you around these parts

Came for the Protoss micro, stayed for the Terran music

Like riding a bike Day9 returns to an awesome cast over some Brood War matches.

So happy to see you back to SC actions Day9!

Very nostalgic seeing Day9 do a starcraft stream again.

I'm a simple man, I see day9 casting starcraft, I like and appreciate. What a day

Oh my god, this is the best.

Day9, back to his roots. It’s a good day.

Hyped to see some starcraft again. Got introduced to Day9 through his Day9 dailies way back in the day. I'm always happy to see this stuff again.

Yeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhsssssss. I have been watching since around the middle of the daily days and I've always gone back to watching Funday Monday as like a child comfort video LOL. So great to see you doing SC again

I am so glad you are casting some again! I came back to watch brood war at the end of last year and I can't get enough!

I've never watched pro Starcraft, but this was incredible. Had me riveted.

highkey crying in the club rn... WELCOME BACK DAYJ!!

It's good to be back day9. Looking forward to more!

It's been so long since the last time I saw Day[9] starcraft, im so hype.

Is this Christmas coming early? A whole bunch of starcraft uploads? What a day!

not only was the back and forth incredible in this game, that war of attrition at the end, damn, there would have been so many times for both sides to just give up, what skill

Day9 and broodwar is my favorite combo of all time

Is this happening ? Day9 Daily is BACK ? God damn ! ♥ Yessssssssss

Back in his natural habitat you love to see it

¡¡Yes!!! I watched years ago your strategy videos, and seeing you again casting some broodwar is fantastic!

The banter between the players is pretty funny.

Now I’m super excited! LETS GO!! Love to see it

When you see “best Protoss micro of all time” you know it’s snow.

Love to see some more Starcraft!

I’ve missed you doing StarCraft content. This is wonderful news to hear plans for more😊

This brought a smile on my face.

Watching day9 cast this literally made my week so much better
