It would be great if that kid grew up to be be some diabolical Protoss mastermind with a bunch of dummy accounts. Every time Artosis freaks out about Protoss, imba, and goes off on a rage induced rant… it’s always Vegas Kid he was playing.
Omg, please let that be true
Someone has to snipe him with "the Vegas Kid" nickname xd
@@potenviking so can you somehow get a hold of him ?
"I challenged a 12-year old kid to a starcraft game and WON" - Dan Artosis Stemkoski
You know a story is fire when it's called "Vegas Kid" and the word *Vegas* isn't even uttered until 9 minutes into the 16 minute story.
According to Liquipedia Vegas Kid's name was just "StarCraft" and he managed to take a game off someone. Imagine losing to Vegas Kid.
That ok, I can chill this game... and then wtf zerg...
The kid probably used his knowledge about DTs to the max XD
How did you find this, for natural reasons it was very hard to google a player named starcraft lol
@@metallsnubben I just went to the WCG USA 2004 page and looked at who Artosis beat in the first round.
I imagine someone fed him a game just to like... Cheer him up after getting bodied probably 3 times in a row in under 5 minutes.
An expanded explanation on the Day9 Daily 100 story, very nice.
God this content is the *exact* reason I Day9 is my favourite youtuber.
Reminds me of the old SC2 Funday Monday stories
I don't think I've laughed harder in ages, love this story.
This highlight is missing the bit where Day[9] mentions that the kids handle in game, was 'Starcraft', oh soo good
The Vegas Kid's name? Greg "Idra" Fields.
is this true?
@@11_Hashtagged_11 Well, it was either Idra or Einstein, but my money's on Idra.
Idra born in 1989, which mean in 2004 he would be 15 already
And I dont think you can mistook a 15 years old to a 12 years old
@@sentryward8744 See, you don't think anyone could mistake a 15-year-old for a 12-year-old, while I didn't think anyone could mistake my comment for a serious statement of fact. Guess we've both had our assumptions challenged today!
Fuck. I made the same joke. I felt so smart tho. Noooooo my entire identity is challenged and I must now hate you for all eternity as my revenge 😢 (I mean >:< )
I love Day9's starcraft stories. It reminds me of all the SC remastered events with Geoff, Dan, and Nick that were the best
When he brings up The Revenant i lost it right there
god i wish Sean played some SC2 at any point, i'd watch immediatly...we miss you bud. happy you're doing great
I had hope for a while but..
What's there to do in SC2? No new content/expansions, no new mission packs, the tournaments are already covered (and Blizzard is kind of a sinking ship with a lousy history for casting partnerships) ... At some point there's nothing more for someone like Day9 to analyze.
@@FlameAggron They got a new film
Imagine playing sc2 in 2021 LOL
@@neelzen9975 yes, imagine playing a game you enjoy. why would anyone ever do that? damn, I just cant figure it out.
Great story, would have been even better if the Vegas kid was some gaming prodigy and spanked Artosis over his knee though
that stuff only happens in movies
he knew how to make DTs, that gives even a literal monkey a 10% winrate against arty
Microsoft's Zone was the scene back in the day. The "official" ladder was like 5 separate independently run websites tracking 1v1 vods submitted to GameNoob. The Zone lobbys were password protected, and the only way you could get invited into a lobby was by trying out with any of the handful of professional clans, and actually getting your vods reviewed by pros. Otherwise, you'd just wander around the unlocked lobbys and play cbt or 4v4 black forest random, (of which everyone would end up losing to the one guy who rolled britons lmao). Good times.
I'll be damned, Nazgul the founder of Team Liquid was a contender in the WCG 2004 as well. That was one legendary tournament.
This was my favourite story tangent and made me cackle
I remember laughing this hard with the story about his car
"But we take those wins"
Can someone PLEASE find this KID right now, and have DAY9 talk to him about this experience?! PLEASE!!!
The qualifier got announced a day or two before it happened so since I lived in the area I was one of the only two people who showed up for bw (other guy was warming up on fastest and ended up taking the travel voucher money instead of attending). Ended up playing vs sadist (not Artosis) in the first round and then rekrul in losers bracket. I'd never played on LAN latency so I miscontrolled a lot in the beginning and ended up throwing my prep out after that and tried some weird proxy build that slog4 was warming up with before the tournament on korhal. I felt bad at the time because I thought I could have played a lot better but it's always fun reminisicing with my brother (who took me to long beach for the event) about the time that I was "one of the best starcraft players"
huanghe?
I just wanted to say that I already heard this story a LONG time ago in some other stream/video but by golly I want to hear it again.
I never thought I'd hear the origin story of IdrA on this channel.
If I had played starcraft competitively those days, the Vegas Kid would have owned me. Felt like a pro just by owning the campaign
the history is hilarious but day9 is really good narrator as well, he made it sound funny AF 😂
This rant is an instant classic.
I just love Storytime with Sean : D
Every day9 rant has a cat cameo everytime its part of the script
Day9 talked about this story very briefly back in story 100 as well lol; albeit back then the kid said something about vultures killing your workers instead of DTs
ruclips.net/video/NJztfsXKcPQ/видео.html
I'd pay such good money to watch a VOD of that game
I remember this story from Daily 100, loved it then, love it now
so this is the same kid in your "my life of starcraft daily 100" :D
[Edit***] If USA finals was in Long Beach, that was definitely 2004 lol, I was there playing Halo - I was also at the Vegas regional qualifiers obv, what a beautiful gringy disgusting LAN Center it took place at
And that kid's name? Sean Bouchard.
First time ever playing paintball... probably Vegas kid's age. Get dropped off at this place with my brother and a friend. Jeans, t-shirts, that sort of thing. Rent crappy guns that barely function... All of us placed on a team against grown men wearing full camo, ghillie suits, etc. with 1000+ dollar paintball guns using compressed air, etc. It was a lot of fun.
I have a similar story. I was dropped of at a paintball place with a few of my friends. They placed 20+ junior high kids against 2 paintball professionals on a small arena style course with the inflatable beer cans/Doritos/snakes. Not a single kid made it past 1/3 of the field. Took maybe 4 minutes total.
i remember going to one of the last magic PTQ's in spokane washington (usually just a local crowd) and running into GerryT, Rich Hagon, Jesse Hampton
Storytime with Uncle Sean is best time ;)
Well I did go to my state colleges StarCraft 2 tounoment as a bronze. Puck was there.
Got called to the stage by the hosts and said prepare for cheese.
I want the replay of that game so bad.
Why can’t I like this 1000 times
Real ones will know this from Daily #100
@Mika Streich listened to 100 so many times its a classic, I knew what it was about already from the title!
Oh yeah
I haven't watched Day9 in months, but first? Thanks, algorithm.
I think the trans ice cream guy beat you.
@@snickle1980 Difficult to tell, that one took minutes to appear for me even after a refresh. I do respect trans ice cream though :3 🏳️⚧️🍨
EDIT: Refreshing once a second does eventually display mine as a few seconds older. Y-yay? :'D
Sentences you didn't think you'd read this morning? This one right here.
underquotes is cursed.
underquotes is like rising victories :)
I never tire of this story. XD
"...but we'd take those wins." lmao
plot twist, las vegas kid is artosis
The version of Looper I've always wanted!
”Parenthases free beer” 😂😂
This story reminded me of the wild wild west the internet used to be. Ah good times.
Now I know why Artosis gets his bad Karma from…all the stream snipers and smurfs are revenging the “Vegas Kid” 😄
Vegas Kid grew up to be the Guy in the Chat 😂
I miss Day9's starcraft stuff.
Story time wooooooooooo!
More starcraft content!!!!! I'm still playing broodwar to this day
I give you props for feeling emasculated when that cat ran up. +1 like, and comment.
That kid? He later grew up to be Greg "IdrA" Fields.
I love tasteless, I could listen to him describe paint drying
I rewatched the 100th daily like 2 weeks ago, I can't wait to hear more about this
Did Dan confirm the story?
Wow I was there for the 1v1 no rush 15min days !! ❤❤
Good memories
let's gooooo Day9!
Wonder where Vegas Kid is today
Is that card real? It's weird that it ends with "in a random order." instead of "in any order". Am I really supposed to shuffle 3 cards and not remember their order? Should I offer the 3 cards to my opponent so they can cut them?
I think Wizards has just made bottoming cards in a random order standard ever since "Recross the Paths" was broken by playing no lands in your deck, letting you just completely stack your deck.
This feels like an origin story.
How dare you Sean, I still use my Yahoo email address!
I played a bunch of WC3 in 2004 and remember resources like SK-gaming having news about tournaments, replays etc. Didn't Starcraft have ANYTHING back then? :P
Vegas Kid story's awesome. Artosis matchup lol.
Golden times
aw i was hoping you were gonna bring back billy lol
Some OG shyt right here, my sweet summer children ;)
Oh God. How has so much time passed since SC2 came out? I don't like this.
11 years
im a simple man..... i see day 9 and starcraft in the title i click
sick T-Shirt Day9. Love it :D
I have to know where you got that shirt!
I feel old and depressed because I can relate to your memories and I am lucky to not have gray hair at my age.
Airquottasaurus Rex
I bet the Las Vegas Kid could take some games off Artosis
Aww poor Vegas Kid.
Wonder where Vegas kid is now.
Man, I’m 40 this is a total walk down memory lane from playing SC1. How the hell did this card get you going on this rant?
wasn't WGTOUR a thing in the US ? I remember using it a lot !
Good times :) with The All Seeing Eye for CS and DOD :D
And Gameee for hardcore SC :D
What's the opposite of an Artosis pylon? (also what episode did you tell that joke on - gotta share it on Artosis's Twitch).
The opposite of an Artosis Pylon is two pylons.
I refuse to believe that back then people played above 100 APM.
Any way we can get the replay of that match?
NO YOU CANNOT OK
Mmmmm, Chrono Trigger
i think.. u should write a book XDD
Meanwhile WoW PvP in 2021 still doesn't have a ladder. Still a craiglist..
reminds me of this moment
ruclips.net/video/TJU8u10FhM0/видео.html
where round 1, a 12 year old played against a tour points leader in street fighter. at least it was fast, aye.
the perfect video lol
I miss the Day9 Daily series so badly :(
Hilariously story though, I can totally imagine Artosis absolutely mauling any competition no matter who it was lol
@day9 dude, i am older than you, wtf??? this is the story that i am gonna tell my kid soon...and LT was best map!!!
Day9 daily 100 gives us a glimpse
That still pops up in my feed once in a while. That's how I found him.
waiting for day9 to just do a littttttttttttttttttttttle revisit of starcraft brood war
Tho saying the gaming content was banned till 2012 is cute
Just gotta know someone. Where's the koreans at? op 3.33? Then hope they wanna play lol
"We take those. We take those kids!"
Hold up...
When Despy walks across the desk: "i feel so emasculated when she does that." Wow! That explains so much! Ranting about kids games in that emo whiny voice makes him feel masculine! That is backwards! Hahaha!
Trans rights ice cream 🍦🍨
I'm loving that trans flag ice cream shirt
Got to love gatekeeping nerds judging a kid. Hahahah
wat
It would be more like professional basketball players seeing no threat from playing against a dwarf.
Are you gonna get on the post Malone cash wagon too? Seems like everyone wants to sellout now days.
Imagine being stupid enough to not use a unique opportunity to advertise yourself. But hey, money bad so everyone is a sellout!
@@jeremyjoe7494 people who are mad at others for earning money are usually kids or teenagers since they don't understand the concept of having to earn money to live. Adults understand that earning money is a necessity for a good standard of living
@@Jug_or_not 100% agree but I still like to call out nonsense every now and then.
Post Malone “Ca$h cards unlimited” wagon?
@@Jug_or_not Personally I think it's more typically middle-aged men who didn't really succeed financially, and look down on successful people as a defense mechanism by attributing negative moral value to show-business and advertisement in general, kind of a "I may have a dead-end job but it's more honest than those sellouts who get money from sponsorship and ad revenue". Also, what is he talking about anyway? I can't figure any connection between day9 and post malone lol.
