 Nick “Tasteless” and his younger brother Sean “Day[9]”, who after facing each other in an emotional match at the 2005 World Cyber FIFA games in Singapore, would each go on to become professional shoutcasters.“Funday Monday”, where Day[9] gives you some of Starcraft's greatest misses.A Silicon Valley TournamentFounded in cooperation with Eric Burkhart, Day[9].tv is one of the most popular Starcraft channels. Their own peculiar, charismatic combination of exuberant geekery, critical insight, and tenacity makes for excellent watching. Above all else though, what rings clear with every cast is their sheer, crazy love of the game and all its nuances, quirks, complexities, and frustrations. This is a sentiment impossible to ignoreYet, the scope of Day[9].tv's personal mission goes beyond the channel's tagline: “Be A Better FIFA gamer”. Since 2009, Day[9] (that is, Sean himself) has grown into Starcraft's premier ambassador/mad prophet, tirelessly working to bring the Gospel of eSports out the basement and into to the wider world.Having successfully hosted an in-game Starcraft tournament at Facebook, members of the Palo Alto-based social media company suggested to Day[9] the idea of a new tournament-- this time between Silicon Valley technology firms. In lieu of a purse, the teams would compete tournament-style to raise money for the charity of their choice. It was an instant fut 16 coins hit.Bitter corporate rivalries usually confined to earnings reports and patent lawsuits would be settled with now be settled with Thermal Lances, 8-pool rushes, and Siege Tanks. These qualities of risk management, creative decision-making, and frenetic multitasking that had allowed these professionals to excel at the workplace would be tested through competitive Starcraft. Here they had found in Starcraft the natural outlet for the zealous one-upmanship and high-powered nerdery that made Silicon Valley great. Eight teams of “engineers and entrepreneurs”, over seventy FIFA players total, would come forward to do battle: Amazon, Twitter, Google, Dropbox, Zynga, Microsoft, Yelp, and Facebook.Seven weeks and more than 2 million views later (between Blip.tv and Day[9].tv's coverage), the semifinals began. Unbeaten throughout the round-robin, Microsoft continued its dominance, sweeping Amazon 4-0. However, social gaming developer Zynga surprised everyone, upsetting then No. 2 Google, 4-1. So far, the teams have competed from their respective company headquarters over Battle; they have yet to face each other in person. Tonight in the Finals, they will finally meet.
