Day[9] and Apollo playing mind games on BWC 2012

A quick explanation for an old as hell video:
Contrary to popular belief, they weren't high! The *one* tech guy they had for this event randomly disappeared in the middle of it. So rather than being able to go on break, Apollo and Day9 were stuck waiting for him to get back. So they filled time as best they could. When they FINALLY thought they had a break and the tech guy was back; psyche, he's gone again.

MIND GAMES

[@timmoh]

SirBelchaloT They made everyone think they were high, but they weren’t.... MIND GAMES...

[@redheads604]

at the end, the person who left is day9, dumping sc2 for dota2 and MTG. So...MIND GAMES

[@StfuSiriusly]

​@@redheads604 why would he stick around for a dead game? Would be really stupid to ruin your career for a game with no player base and no big tournaments

I saw this same comment 6 years ago

This video lives rent free in my brain

[@thescoutabout]

The person that enjoys Day9's humor the most is Day9.

[@sethmoyer]

Second most is me.

I was dying laughing. I watched this live. Can't believe it was 7 years ago

[@Rosvolainen]

What a treat! He can just lie in bed at night with the lights off and crack jokes and he'll have the time of his life. He can literally laugh himself to sleep.

Against Zerg, build 1 void ray and a couple of sentrys, then send the void ray up the outer edge of the map towards the enemies base with a couple of Hallucinated Void Rays behind him. Use the first Void ray to kill the overlord he has spotting there to sell the bit, but let it see the other void rays coming up behind it. Watch him drop a bunch of spore crawlers against Mass Void Rays while you go ground. Mind Games!

[@joeybeann]

But this is a valid strategy

[@TheLumiya]

Time for my weekly rewatch of this! Classic MINDGAMES ♥

[@G3Dem]

It's 2022.
You go early Stalker attack your own Probe until it is low and let it regain it's sheild while walking to the enemy base. You harasse the enemy with the stalkers and let the probe go in in the enemy mainbase. You take another stalker waiting at the corner of the mainbase shoot over the wall to kill the probe in the fog of war to fake a missed probe. Triggering the enemy to search for it in panic, expecting a late cannon rush. Meanwhile you build your second in his expansion, build workers and cannon rush anyways.

LMAO! can't get enough of these! Wish there was a forum thread where you could post your own "mindgames". I could read these for hours

[@ernesttucker4359]

[@JDBD13]

No matter how many years go by I die laughing to this every damn time.
