    Sean "Day[9]" Plott, who hosts a very well made daily SCII replay commentary/analysis thing, is nominated for a Shorty award.

    http://shortyawards.com/category/gaming
     
    The voting is a bit crazy, because only people with older, active Twitter accounts can vote. 
    Please vote for him. 

    If you don't know what day[9] daily is, here's a link to some archives:
    http://day9tv.blip.tv/?sort=custom;date=;view=archive;user=day9tv;nsfw=dc;s=posts;page=1
    As well as his youtube channel

    I have no Twitter account so unfortunately I can't vote.
     
    But just wanted to say. I can't play Starcraft, nor do I know much about it. But I watch the Day9Daily....well....daily. One of the most entertaining game-related things online!
     
    So yeh, someone use my vote please!

    Edit: It seems he has a Youtube channel in which he plays... Call of Duty and Halo. Will be so sad if this guy wins.

    That is Seananners.  He is a really popular Call of Duty player that does Youtube videos.  I think he has like 500k subscribers.

    Hell yeh I'll vote for day9. SeaNanners is funny and all, but no-one is as passionate as day9 is.
     
    If you havent watched this vid, then i fully recommend it. Its 110 minutes, but I just finished watching and it was incredibly moving at times.

    I voted for Day9! He isn't just a gamer, but a teacher, an advocate for gamers and a hilarious dude. Plus he's pretty damn good at star2.

    @babblinmule: God damn that video was incredible. Day [9] makes me proud to be a gamer and not feel like it's a complete waste of time. You have to be stone cold to not be moved by this.

    I don't understand this.  HuskyStarcraft is doing it too.
     
    It's Twitter awards for best content on Twitter.
     
    None of those people produce any interesting content on Twitter.

    @HaltIamReptar: Actually I changed my mind I think your right. it says    Each award recognizes each content creator's entire body of work, not just an individual tweet.  
     
     Which I guess would mean their entire body of work on twitter. Then in the judging section it says   Members of the Real-Time Academy of Short Form Arts & Sciences will carefully review the finalists' tweets and Shorty Interview answers (if any) 
     
    So I guess it is only based on their tweets.

    Yes, incomprehensible squealing, not being able to shed any technical light on the game and constantly asking for subscriptions is the bomb diggity.

    I whole heartedly encourage everyone here to vote for Sean "Day9" Plott.  
      
    The reason that it is so important for everyone to cast their vote for this guy is not just for the sake of us all seeing our fav commentator/strategist and streamer win something. It's for the greater good of eSports (competitive gaming) in general. Even if you don't watch the daily religiously, vote for Day9. A vote for Sean is a vote for eSports. The shorty awards do get some media coverage as well, so thats a really good thing.

    We (you) can't wait for eSports to happen in the mainstream, you have to proactively make it happen. Voting is one easy way for a person to help the cause. If you are one of those people that find eSports stupid and dumb, I'm sorry you feel that way. You are missing out on some really great stuff and Day9 is basically leading the charge in bringing it more into the mainstream in the west. Also as mentioned above search YouTube for Day9 Daily #100. It is a PHENOMENAL video, even if you don't play Starcraft or even video games a lot, you will definitely be able to relate to it. Goes to show just how much passion he has and what can be accomplished.

    So true, Esports finally has a chance to take another step with SC2, but there isn't enough support. VOTE FOR DAY9.

    Well, tbh, I'm not a huge day9 fan - but - I will admit he puts a ton of effort into his production, and it really shows. he should win.
