I love the start of the match with both players having their 9 drones mining, 1 overlord moving across the map to scout, 1 overlord building, and 500 APM each.

It’s funny to see Day9 go from “explaining mode” to “HE GETS THE HATCHA BLAHGGH HUUUU-“

STARCRAFT CONTENT!?

Day9 and Brood War, back together in perfect harmony again. ❤

Love this content. I was an avid watcher of the Day[9] Daily around 10 years back. I played the hell out of SC2 at that time.

20 years ago in a FFA with my friends, I won by absolutely *obliterating* my buddy's Devourer swarm with Mutas after he mopped everyone else up. He demanded to know how I beat him in that fight. I had no answer. For 20 years, I had no idea why I won with mutas vs the anti-air upgrade of mutas. Now I know. Now I understand. Thank you Day9 for finally putting that to rest in my mind once and for all.

seeing day 9 cast StarCraft again makes me feel good this is where i first found out about him

YO STARCRAFT!! THANK YOU DUDE!!

I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING BW CONTENT AGAIN. Loved this ZvZ, and how you went through the nerve racking details of early game ZvZ, especially regarding drone counts, hatcheries, and early game droning. The fact that you showed a game where one player was down 27-11 drones and 3-1 hatcheries at some point who then equaliezd without a fight just shows how complex and rich scbw zvz economy wars are. 32:41-33:34 - I feel the thing Day9 mentioned about zerglings tanking hits is actually off here with the dynamic of hydra vs mutaling - it's actually the zerglings doing most of the DPS, with the mutalisks tanking hits so the zerglings don't die before getting in range. At 0/0 and point blank range, Muta's are roughly 13dmg per hit at 200 resources, Zerglings 40 damage per hit at 200 resources with higher attack speed which is almost an order of magnitude higher.. though they're melee. And as you can see from the fight, the mutalisks lead the way, but the hydra's don't really die until the zerlings make contact. He's definitely right about the critical mass making zerglings (and thus the mutas as well) useless, but despite how big that ball looked it still fell! Such an awesome game. ~450 apm from both players at 20 minutes in omg

Despite popular belief: Day9's water jug is actually filled with vodka.

OMFG DAY9 ZvZ. IS IT CHRISTMAS!

I cant believe its been 6 years since Sean's Lets Learn Starcraft series

STARCRAFT BABY

The way you talk about the early game ZvZ considerations makes me fully understand how so many StarCraft players became great poker players

I'm here cause Day[9] is still GOAT Content Creator.

If only every month could be Blizzard Month. Starcraft and Day9 is like chocolate and peanutbutter.

Im delighted that even all these years later you still sound excited to tell us about brood war. I hope it continues to bring you joy day9

I had to check the upload date when I saw this on my feed. It's good to see you back Sean

I know what Devourer attack was all about for more than 20 years. Multiplayer combo of Devourer and Corsair groups were the sickest thing known to man back in the day

I want to live in the reality where this is all of Day9s content.

We want an Artosis vs Day9 rematch!

This is Truly amazing! I hope one day we could see some Day9 and Artosis collab

YEEEEES WE‘RE BACK TO STARCRAFT

Day9 I've seen every single one of your daily's I watched you every day when I was deployed Missed you bro.

13:52 love how the ling vs ling starts off looking like a dance off.

For the new people. Day9's lets learn starcraft playlist kzfaq.info/sun/PLgmCLtUkEutKY8IlwyVCUFoRtgQe3LCf1&si=cuoHCKM7CpJSPU93

That sort of hot potato gameplay is how I feel about Zero-K when the AI just yeets a fire car behind you and somehow cleans out all of your extractors and power plants lmao.

Oh man, the music... soo nostolgic and nice to here again, "childhood memories"

No fucking way I live in a world where Day9 does Starcraft content again. 😭🔥

Omg day 9 talking about StarCraft again! Totally awesome!

I have never seen that many mutalisks on my screen at the same time, and I'm a starcraft 2 player. Whether you're gonna do a lot of starcraft stuff or not, this is a great video.

This was so frigging cool to watch as a starcraft newbie. Loved all the commentary and knowledge you had to share!

10 minute video time and 2 minute game time? Must be Day9

What an awesome ZvZ! Love it Sean :D

5 minutes no rush!

SC CONTENT WHEW LADS ITS HAPPENING EDIT: Holy shit there's a ton of SC content from the past week!! Clicked on that bell for sure :) Thanks mr 9

I'm so happy you're back with Starcraft content Day9 :D

This was a great game you picked! I'm actually very thankful you found this gem because I've had alot of thoughts on zerg, from the perspective of terran main, as I described as "overly greedy", but have since learned "over-optimized" is the more polite, technical term. It's interesting how much the perspective of game changes depending on casters main race. Really appreciated the deeper dive of the ZvZ matchup, not just xyz decision could decide game, but what goes into the decision, and where it should lead.

My love for this is overwhelming.

cracklings... god I haven't heard that term in a while, been missing this content (SC1 & 2). Appreciate you Mr Day9.

I had no idea dragonball gt and starcraft shared the same soundtrack

In team games, a combined squad of devourers and corsairs is just air dominant. The tiniest splash is +9 damage; the fleet of carriers evaporates.

So glad to see more StarCraft content!!!

Love the content. Thanks Day!

So much StarCraft content today, I’m having a lot of fun with this!

I am happy for watching this of Day9 just before Asl17 Final Hero vs Soulkey

Dont listen to these plebs, talk on pause for 99% of the video if you have to. I just want more zerg knowledge

I tried doing those spore and hydra low gas economy builds so much in ZvZ but it's so much harder than it looks. I never got it working especially well. I could win with it vs slightly lower players or maybe equal, but at that point I was doing a different build for no benefit at best (and a disadvantage more likely)

God this is blasting me back to my weekends when i was a teenager. Thank you Day9 for bringing me this joyful memories haha

When I find this build from somas position I find going straight into hive and crackling with armor upgrades works well to counter the hydras

I’ve been waiting 10 years to hear more day9 SC replay analysis

Loving the BW and SC2 content!

38:00 - the thing you are talking about in splitting, I remember doing so often back in the old hydra zone control maps, if it ever became tight, just control small clumps to target something specific, like a corner, or the sunken itself, even on control groups so after the mass attacker order they are still doing it. It's useful because all your units aren't stuck being stupid, but you still have the rest of the army distracting. I do find it interesting on melee maps you mention one player using run arounds and decoys being a novel idea? I guess I never watched too much of it, because it was hugely powerful even back in my 2006-2010 scbw UMS days before I stopped playing, I figured everyone would be doing it.

The AI did a really poor job of colourizing this circa year 2000 footage. Day9s hair has weird gray spots all over.

Cool to see some Brood War content from you Sean, did you get a chance to see Effort v Action in Season 16 ASL?

2:08 look at the hydra that goes on a side quest.

I get nostalgia as soon as the music starts. I really should seek out more StarCraft battles on KZfaq.

Starcraft content out of Day9. I am so happy. I would pay real money for Funday Monday to come back, because while I do enjoy learning to be a better gamer, I vastly prefer to dick around.

Day9 doing himself no favors with the thumbnails lately 😂

OMG I'm back to the early 2010s. You made my day sir

It's so fun to see the meta of a game I used to be pretty decent at completely, utterly morph into something in which I'd be trashed within 30 seconds of the game.

The return of the king❤

Bro I’ve missed your big ol face and your 🔥 SC content soooooo much!

Keep em coming!

Wowwww…. Brings me back.

I love the ingame music ❤

Woah WTF, Day9 StarCraft content? Am I having a stroke?

"I'm not gonna show you the time of the game!" Forgets that youtube videos have a timer lol

uh.... what year is this?

ive missed you day9

This breakdown sounds like you’re talking about chess!!

StarCraft Brofessor is back

Instead of hive and plague, could the hydra player make a queen and decimate the mutas with ensnare and hydras? Queens can also spawn broodling the lurkers.

So Day[9]'s explanation of Devourers was good, but I thought I would give the full details: Size: Large Movement: Flying Race: Zerg Built from: Mutalisk Requires: Greater Spire Cost: 150 Minerals, 50 Vespene Gas Build Time: 25 Supply: 2 Max HP: 250 Base armor: 2 Sight: 10 Speed: 3.72 Weapon: Acid Spores • Targets: Air • Bullet type: Fly • Hit type: Corrosive Acid • Damage: 25 • Damage plus: 2 • Damage type: Explosive • Range: 6 • Cooldown: 4.2 When a Devourer attacks, and its projectile reaches the target, the game checks for enemy units in a 64x64 pixel (2x2 range) square around it. It adds the acid spore effect to all visible flying non-structure enemy units in the area. If those units don't already have the acid spore effect, they will get a purple goop visual effect and become unable to cloak. If they already have the effect, the duration will be extended and the acid spore count will be increased (unless it is already at the maximum of 9). A unit affected by n acid spores has its cooldown increased by n * 12.5%, though not by more than 3n frames. So for instance, a unit affected by 8 acid spores will have its cooldown doubled, though not if that would increase it by more than 24 frames. Also, whenever a unit affected by acid spores receives damage, the incoming damage is increased by n. This affects all kinds of damage, including plague and friendly fire, and takes effect after the multipliers for Mutalisk glaive bounces, hallucinations, and splash, but before any other modifiers. EDIT: Ten internet points to whoever can find out how long it takes for acid spores to wear off. I couldn't find that.

Good to see you casting some broodwar content again

Finally streaming what @Falconpaladin could not provide enough

SPOILER super cool opener by red, but I hydras really freaking suck in zvz (especially since mutas really really rock) would've been cool to see transition from the t1 bunker econ hydra, into working to get scourge or some mutas instead of more hydras so that you can actually defend your 3rd. Right before he took that super uneven trade and lost the 2 hatcheries at third, they were in such a solid spot.

First time watching Star Craft. Is Day9 spectating high elo players? Edit: i understood it wasn't live lol. I just wasn't sure about the players skill level

What the fuck when did you start covering Starcraft again? It's good to be back.

This makes me so happy!

Have you tried the new game mod called Broodwar Vs. SC2? You can play both versions at the same time against eachother!

I like this matchup because my favorite faction can't lose.

I'm so hyped to see Day9 play Wc2 52:46

That lurker ambush was brutally effective and keenly timed since there is no hold-fire button SC1, you have to literally spam the stop button until the perfect moment.

Will you be doing SC2 too or just BW for now?

Hilarious that day9 has a huge water jug that he uses to refill his water lmao

I feel it really went down to the zergling+muta surround. Red didn't play that near effectively, and even threw more away than needed even after it was initially apparent he lost it. If he put the hydras on a better spot for the possibility of lings, or simply waited just a bit before moving out, he would have for sure won that I think. Tbh, his best bet was to wait about a minute and a half, then put down his 3 or even fourth hatch all at once, but with more hydras and 2/2 done.

Holy fucking shitballs it's DayJay doing starcraft content. SIGN ME THE FUCK UP. The only reprieve I ever feel that Sean never really does starcraft anymore is that GiantGrantGames has the same hilariously infectious "hyuck" laugh when he amuses himself.

I need a smoke after just watching this breakdown of the replay, sheesh.

STARCRAFT CONTENT?! 👁 👄 👁

Production tab in SC1, how does that.... WAIT IS THAT DA9 HOLY CRAP

hes back doin starcraft!

he's back

"large numbers of mutas kill small numbers of hydras" - Soma literally just shits on all the hydras defending that expansion lmao perfect timing

More day9 bw zvz please PLEASE

13:41 how would the drones mess with enemy zerglings' AI?

A DAY9 SC breakdown? My dreaming?

Listen Day9, i’m begging here… please bring back funday monday… you have me on my knees!

HE’S BACK BOYS AND GIRLS

And off I go to rewatch Funday Monday...
