Are you kidding me? I've learned FAR more from Day9 about Starcraft 2 than HD or Husky combined. HD and Husky are only commentators. Day9 is a commentator AND he teaches people throughout the week with his dailies.

why are you guys bickering over who's "better" than the other? all 4 of them are great personalities that are doing their best to raise the profile of sc2. if you actually listen to any of them, they hate it when people make these obnoxious and pointless comparisons.

He's taught common knowledge to the masses. That is what HD and husky do, and all of the other casters that aren't really good at what they do. There has been a single daily since he started doing sc2 that I learned anything from, and that was the 2v2 one because I am not a 2v2 player. Day9 knows next to nothing about sc2 compared to what he knew about brood war.
He shouldn't be praised as the best of anything he does because he is just Husky or HD with a different voice and a bit more analysis. In this regard, Artosis is the better caster. He is the better player. Why isn't he getting nominated for this award?

Adam just doesn't have the superstar personality that Sean has. He's kind of funny, but in an awkward this gets old fast sort of way
Holy shit. Is this true or what?
Seriously I've been watching a great many of his videos and I almost fell asleep several times. His humor seems like its stuck in this preteen funk, existing somewhere between immature and downright flat/boring. What exactly does he do that advances awareness in his neck of the woods?
All I've seen is video after video of uninspired, flat commentary with almost zero voice inflection and as a previous poster said, offering nothing of value with regards to tips/strategies for improving at the game.
Everything is exactly the same, and nine times out of ten it seems like he's playing on random public servers against people who have no clue what they're doing.
Perhaps its the nature of MW2 in general that the lack of depth in the game itself causes the material produced to lack depth as well. I just feel that with the amount of youtube hits the guy gets, he could be producing much higher quality content. But his viewers are his viewers, if thats the kind of content that gets him popularity, kudos to him.
I just don't see how any of the above compares to the amount of intellectual complexity, thoughtfulness, and planning Day[9] pours into each and every single daily, even when he may not feel like it or is pressured by the rigors of Graduate school.
Call me insane. I'm probably biased, and should follow Day's example of good sportsmanship, but I still think he got robbed by people who didn't do their research.

Artosis didn't even try to get nominated. I'm pretty sure you have to try to be nominated to be considered.
And what's with your repeating of "teaching the masses" over and over? There's a reason so many people recommend his dailies. Yes, maybe the dailies didn't teach much to some amazing old pro like you, but tons of people have learned and benefited from them. You can't speak for them. Oh, the way you imply that he only knows as much as HD or Husky is hilarious.

Whether Artosis is a better player or not is not an argument for a Shorty Award.

To be fair guys SeaNanners is a great guy and he's almost unique in the FPS community. We all know that day9 is a god amongst men () but SeaNanners is at least a man among chimps.

day9 on his loss

But that is just my opinion. What Day9 does in his dailies is far more valuable than simply "casting" a game. If you can't see that, then it is obviously not for you - and trying to argue he is nothing special in a thread dedicated to him winning an award is a little bit ridiculous..
In terms of doing stuff for the community; Day9 literally flies across countries while doing a thesis at college to give to the SC2 community. His dailies cater to THOUSANDS upon thousands of viewers.. Can you imagine what he can accomplish once he is finished studying!? Anyway; there is always one..

He isn't immune to critisism because he does a lot for the community. Defend him for things he does right, not things he can't do because he is too busy with school.

My criticism is that he is teaching what is common sense to any competent sc2 player which is not what he did in scbw. The reason he is like that is because he isn't that good at sc2. Artosis is better. also I'd disagree with being the vocal minority because trash like hiveminding day9 is all that is posted in this site anymore.

Think about the beach on a sunny day, your feet in the warm sand, the sea breeze caressing you, and the sound of the waves crashing onto shore rocks you to sleep. You are getting sleepy.

IMO, this just means we have to start a new award show. Day 9 should have his own award show, Daily #300 anyone? ;D!
That or start the baller awards and give Day [9] all of it!

He's taught common knowledge to the masses. That is what HD and husky do, and all of the other casters that aren't really good at what they do. There has been a single daily since he started doing sc2 that I learned anything from, and that was the 2v2 one because I am not a 2v2 player. Day9 knows next to nothing about sc2 compared to what he knew about brood war. He shouldn't be praised as the best of anything he does because he is just Husky or HD with a different voice and a bit more analysis. In this regard, Artosis is the better caster. He is the better player. Why isn't he getting nominated for this award? Just because you are so damn good at this game and know all there is to know does not mean the rest of us can't gain some worth out of a Day9 Daily; Day9s knowledge and casting ability far surpasses HD and Husky. But that is just my opinion. What Day9 does in his dailies is far more valuable than simply "casting" a game. If you can't see that, then it is obviously not for you - and trying to argue he is nothing special in a thread dedicated to him winning an award is a little bit ridiculous.. In terms of doing stuff for the community; Day9 literally flies across countries while doing a thesis at college to give to the SC2 community. His dailies cater to THOUSANDS upon thousands of viewers.. Can you imagine what he can accomplish once he is finished studying!? Anyway; there is always one.. He isn't immune to critisism because he does a lot for the community. Defend him for things he does right, not things he can't do because he is too busy with school. In no way is he immune to criticism; but what does he do badly? Criticise him please? But no matter what your criticisms are there are 10,000 people per day that would disagree with you.. Making you the vocal minority. My criticism is that he is teaching what is common sense to any competent sc2 player which is not what he did in scbw. The reason he is like that is because he isn't that good at sc2. Artosis is better. also I'd disagree with being the vocal minority because trash like hiveminding day9 is all that is posted in this site anymore. You tried to argue that: "Artosis does the most by a long shot" then you go on to criticize Day[9]'s dailies, and the fact that he teaches people the basics in Starcraft. What may seem like common sense to you could be seen as completely foreign to a Starcraft newbie. All HD and Husky do is play by play commentary, but Day[9] actually analyzes the games and breaks them down for those less competent in Starcraft. He informs the Starcraft newbies how to to and execute stable solid play; teaches them that it's a good thing. He even sets up community activities like funday monday, and team monobattles (which are a blast if you haven't tried them); encouraging people to think outside the box and be more creative. Not to mention outside of his dailies he flies to almost every freaking major event to cast it, FOR FREE.
I love both artosis and Day[9], the "casting-Archon" does a wonderful job commentating the GSL and I think they are the best casting pair. Artosis does a great job analizing while Nick makes "Tasteful" jokes and creates hilarious back-story for the critters on the map (wouldn't have it any other way). That being said Artosis also does interviews and game analysis, both of which are quite good. The content Both day and artosis produce is good, but Day[9] just makes more content. Content that helps a wider range of people; this is why I beleive he is more fit for the shorty awards then Artosis (but not by a long shot).
Day[9] was very competent in SC:BW. Although he doesn't play professionally anymore; he still spends a lot of time analyzing games (his dailies), casting all of those events, and being around good players (form the events he goes to); unless he took a sudden and hard bash to the head, his brain is the same one that understood SC:BW on such an deep level, why couldn't that same brain understand Starcraft II?
I think your are being rash in your judgments of Sean, and to be totally honest--quite unfair about it. Sadly, that Seananners guy took the Shorty award anyway

Wait, how does he know that Day [9] isn't very good at Starcraft 2? Because he shows content that a lot of people appreciate and thus that is the extent of his knowledge?
I don't get it.

Is this a joke? Is this whole thread a joke? Artosis does the most by a long shot - a LONG shot... seriously though, why do you need to take basically a fan thread and turn it into a mud throwing competition Because forums are about discussion. This might as well be twitter if all we do is post about how much we love everybody. If there is criticism, I will post it. I won't hold back because of what he's done for the community. 'OMG Artosis is way better' does not constitute discussion. Neither is being a hivemind to a person who commentates a game he isn't even good at. He was good at broodwar and that's when I liked him. Now he is just teaching the masses how to be competent. He is now an HDStarcraft or a Husky. He is not special. Artosis, however, knows his shit and he gets that information out. Are you kidding me?

If I recall pros sometimes get advice from day9. I'm pretty sure huk does at least.
