Day[9] - The Story of Grand Prix San Jose

[cdr]

Not legacy, but this is just about the best tournament report you'll ever get to see/hear:

I'm only an occasional Day[9] fan, but him getting into MTG is just hilarious. It seems like a lot of SC2 casters/players are getting into MTG of late.

Not into StarCraft, or e-gaming as a whole for that matter, so I had never heard of this guy before - but this is pretty great! Thanks for sharing the links!

This is so awesome. This guy is hilarious :D

I've been on the interwebs for quite a while and trust me, ever since playing Broodwar, Sean "Day9" Plott is one of the top3 most amazing people on the entire cyberspace. Can't watch videos with my current 56kbit connection, but I'm sure his report will be uber amazing.

Actually, the sc2casters are not getting "into", but back into Magic. Artosis used to play on the Pro Tour before he went Broodwar full time.
(Or at least came close to. In one of the early GSL casts, he mentions that at one point he actually had to make a decision whether to go Pro Magic or Pro Broodwar)

<3 Day9 from when I was super into Brood War.

I ordered 9 foil lobber crews after watching this.

I have never played a single game of starcraft but I've watched quite a few Dailies of him (mostly ones not about Starcraft) and this guy is absolutely hilarious and very charismatic. It's amazing what kind of reach this person has on the internet, he has over 130,000 followers on twitter, about 8,000 people watch his Dailies live and 10-fold of that watches them in the week ahead. I was very excited when I heard he was playing magic, he provides great exposure for the game and I hope he will do more items about it.

Day[9] is amazing, if you haven't watched his Amnesia series it'll probably make you die of laughter, I really wish he'd branch out into doing more reviews of other video games than just Starcraft.

For some reason when I saw the title of this thread I thought GP San Jose was a 9 day event. Good to know that was not the case.

[Amon Amarth]

Man, I love me some Day9.

[TeenieBopper]

I had never heard of Day[9] until last weekend when I saw tweets about him being on camera or something. I had no idea who he was; I picked up that he was a starcraft streamer, but that was it. But this:


This is story time. It's important that we embrace all who do not play magic and introduce them to the glory of being a fucking powerful wizard, all right?

Makes me a fan for life.

I think he has been casually into magic for a long time, I remember him mentioning it on the rare occasion a long while back. A lot of people that are into gaming (not new school modern warfare/madden gamers) have at least heard of mtg if not played it when they were younger, its kind of cool to see how the streams attract a lot of people that play sc, dota, fighting games, and mmos. A lot of these people appreciate mtg and its nice to see it get this kind of exposure, plus his story telling is so fun to listen to.

He got hooked a few months ago when he took a vacation from Starcraft for a few days and drafted with friends. All of his story dailies are hilarious.

[Phoenix Ignition]

I absolutely love day[9] and will be a fanboy no matter what he does.

Most of this was pretty good, but everyone needs to get the idea of losing = always bad out of their head. His connecting it with going down like a samurai towards the end of this was awesome.
