@@Alwayz114 Indeed, there will be more starcraft content going forward but it wont necessarily be weekly or return of structured content like the dailies.
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.
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.
Also you basically *had* to stand to reload until the advent of breach-loading, and needed considerable volume of fire to compensate for poor individual accuracy until the advent of rifling. So you have necessarily large formations firing in volleys and standing to reload, because that's what the weapons technology of the day forces on you. Because of simple geometry, the best way to arrange those formations is in a few shallow lines for firepower (and columns for maneuver and shock combat). The battle line just emerges out of that - it's almost mathematically necessary given the constraints an army of the time is optimizing under. Honour has precious little to do with it. (Incidentally, it's also best to have your officers in bright, readily distinguishable attire so that your guys can see them - the enemy weapons don't have sufficient accuracy to reliably pick out a man-sized target, so the fact that you're presenting an obvious target doesn't matter so much). EDIT: of course, inertia being what it is, the line-and-volley system did somewhat outlive the technological conditions that created it, with pretty horrific consequences in conflicts like the Franco-Prussian war (for the French, primarily, the Prussians having mostly moved to much looser order formations)
Tight formations are also important against cavalry, especially when you have a low rate of fire. Bayonets allowed units to "take care of themselves" rather than earlier more complicated mixed pike and shot formations. Increased rates of fire from infantry combined with higher volume machine guns required (to avoid getting wrecked) and facilitated (protection from cavalry) looser formations.
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!
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 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.
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.
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!
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!
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
Those mana pylons at beginning, swear I could hear Snow cackling lol. That Terran was really impressive though, like watching Royal or Barracks who was that?
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!
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.
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?
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.
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
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
That thing about Siege Tank firing, I believe Scan once said that's why it's recommended to enter siege mode in small groups, so they fire staggered. Also prevents overkilling one Dragoon with 12 tanks.
The utter disrespect from Snow was epic to behold. At first glance it seemed like it was very back and forth with a solid chance of terran steam rolling the early-mid to mid game with snow just barely stabilizing near the end. In hindsight though, it was like Snow was just playing with his food and giving the terran the feeling of winning for a while just to snatch it away. The things snow did seemed so trolly and counter-intuitive but his micro was so godlike it didn't matter since he could win off that alone. And to end it by making some faces, calling GG and quitting when he had checkmate was absolutely savage.
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
I'm genuinely so happy to be watching this, please dont go away day9, please. Please stay. Also I requested you to play 2s with your brother years ago and I'm still waiting. And I'll wait forever if that is your wish my balding friend.
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
god. so many powermoves this cast. Kitty opening with the KB > Mouse > Water Mug opener. Then Snow with the I don't respect terran base defense drops, finishing with ice cold game ender as piece de resistance.

fuck, day9 casting some brood war, what a great fucking year to be alive
2009 has been sweet so far
This comment could use a comma after the first fuck :D.
Yes love it!
Tho honestly I'd watch almost anything from Day9 that ISN'T flippin' card games 😭
Yes, despite the war, it's so good to see some... Brood **war**!
Agreed. I thought it was my birthday at first.
“Hell. It’s about time.”
daddy finally came home with the milk!
And I'm SWIMMING in it
Hell, It's about time. *tss*
Snows wife need him to milk the baby 😂
wait are we back on starcraft?? im so in!
Sorta. He's just doing it this week
@@Beranin He says at the very beginning that 'going forward, he's intending to do more frequent Starcraft stuff'
I will die happy if Funday Mondays return.
@@Alwayz114 Indeed, there will be more starcraft content going forward but it wont necessarily be weekly or return of structured content like the dailies.

DayJ on Starcraft? I am not crying, someone is cutting an Artosis Pylon.
HELL YEAH, ARTOSIS IS ACTIVE, TASTELESS IS ACTIVE AND NOW DAY9?!
We're so back

That Terran game music just drags me right back 25 years 😊
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.
Also gives matches a much bigger scale feel, especially when observers don't do the super zoom out. ;)
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!
Terran music really is the best
All stand for koreas national anthem
Protoss though..

REGULAR STARCRAFT CONTENT FROM DAY9!!! This is the best day since the release of remastered!
27:51 the amount of times a new Shuttle comes to save that Reaver is so gross it’s funny
snow's laugh just haunting my brain right now. that reaver micro is disguuuuusting. he's so good it hurts
I'm with the woman I love, I have 3 kids, an awesome job and Day9 is doing Starcraft again. Life sure is good.
Now we are getting to the real OG day9. Day9 daily some of my favorite times.
I haven't watched Day9 since then. Yet here I am again!
@@nateshepardson
same.
That ending... SnOw chill OUT man, this guy has a family
That had me crying with laughter, what a b*stard lol
@@alexanderjamesgillett3441 He's my favorite villian
@@trickm0nkey Snow laugh vs Artosis is the best.
Day9 and Brood War is perfection. As soon as I heard that Terran music I couldn't believe it

Wow, what an epic, fun game! Love getting to hang out and just enjoy the game with Day9 - a total riot!
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!
Snow and Mini have been doing some disgusting stuff lately and I'm glad I'm here for it.
Go check ASL 17, Snow's micro has been amazing to watch!
The amount of minerals left on the map at 50 minutes in a top level game. Nonstop aggression. What a fun game
OMG!!!!!! PLEASE BRING BACK FUNDAY MONDAY!! I was literally just rewatching all the old Funday Monday episodes the last couple of weeks!
"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
😭
"He beat me until I was broken and they he just left me lying there because he had better places to be"
SC1 music is *chefs kiss*. Timeless classic OST.
Terran is my favorite, toss my 2nd favorite, though the Zerg tracks are also good.
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.
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
That ending was just the cherry on top of a bully sundae.
God I would love you casting Starcraft at least semi-regularly. Both Brood War and SC2 scenes are still amazing to this day
Ancient prophecies told of the hour Day9 would return to Starcraft... 💀❤
Man this made me realize how much i miss funday mondays. Please come back to the scene, we need you more than ever.
¡¡Yes!!! I watched years ago your strategy videos, and seeing you again casting some broodwar is fantastic!
Snow is unquestionably the funniest broodwar player ever
Especially when he's trolling Artosis. That's my favorite Broodwar moments ever
So glad to see you back on starcraft, your old coverage was the best.
highkey crying in the club rn... WELCOME BACK DAYJ!!
Anyone one have translations for the in-game chat? So good to be watching Day9 Starcraft again!!!
Oh my god… ARE THOSE GREY HAIRS?!

This brought a smile on my face.
Is this happening ? Day9 Daily is BACK ? God damn ! ♥ Yessssssssss
The craziest thing about this game is that the Scarabs only derped out like, twice
It's good to be back day9. Looking forward to more!
Those mana pylons at beginning, swear I could hear Snow cackling lol. That Terran was really impressive though, like watching Royal or Barracks who was that?
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!
Yes. All blizzard games can come in and out.
Is this Christmas coming early? A whole bunch of starcraft uploads? What a day!
this video was an hour?? It felt like 10 mins, I loved it so much. Keep it coming
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!
so awesome to see you covering starcraft again!
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
It’s funny how the match not only shows how the way the game is played has evolved, but also the BM alongside it!
Ohhhh yeah! StarCraft and Day9!! Is there any better combo!! 💜
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'm a simple man, I see day9 casting starcraft, I like and appreciate. What a day
Whaaaat?? I've kept subscribed but never expected Any Starcraft from Day9 anymore :O
It's been so long since the last time I saw Day[9] starcraft, im so hype.
I love day9 no matter what he's doing, but man do I miss day9 sc videos
props to T for going toe to toe with this freak of nature
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?
Yes, but for dyslexia. You spelled the number J with a 9, you silly!
Like riding a bike Day9 returns to an awesome cast over some Brood War matches.
I've been waiting so many years for more Starcraft.
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.
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.
NO WAY !! THE TIME HAS COME ONCE AGAIN ! HELL FUCKING YEAHHHHHH ! ALL HAIL SEAN !!!!!
This hit my nostalgia like a ballistic missile. My god. Thank you Day 9
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
51:50 the archon surprised to be there haha
Omg, craziest and funniest game of the decade, so fun to watch your content again!
Very nostalgic seeing Day9 do a starcraft stream again.
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
I cant believe it. Welcome back, commander! We've missed you around these parts
I'm a simple man. I see Day9 starcraft content, I like comment and watch the whole damn thing
That thing about Siege Tank firing, I believe Scan once said that's why it's recommended to enter siege mode in small groups, so they fire staggered. Also prevents overkilling one Dragoon with 12 tanks.

Artosis has chills right now, wherever he is
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
OMG Day9 + Starcraft??
Plz, more!
I'm genuinely so happy to be watching this, please dont go away day9, please. Please stay. Also I requested you to play 2s with your brother years ago and I'm still waiting. And I'll wait forever if that is your wish my balding friend.
i never would have seen that ending coming
Holy shit even just 10 seconds of Day9 casting Starcraft, it's like going home again.
So happy to see you back to SC actions Day9!
Day9 and broodwar is my favorite combo of all time
Omg yes ! Hallelujah Day9 is back on starcraft ❤🎉
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
Day 9 analyzing Star craft matches is so so so so so so so so so fucking good. His analytical style is unparalleled.
god. so many powermoves this cast. Kitty opening with the KB > Mouse > Water Mug opener. Then Snow with the I don't respect terran base defense drops, finishing with ice cold game ender as piece de resistance.
day9 playing Brood War?!?! I feel like I am revisiting my youth 😁 I need to get some junk food to complete the experience ASAP!
I just checked my blood sugar 🤣 so I'm good.
I've never watched pro Starcraft, but this was incredible. Had me riveted.
I’ve missed you doing StarCraft content. This is wonderful news to hear plans for more😊
Starcraft!!!
Watching day9 cast this literally made my week so much better
