Day[9]'s Game Studio

The story of DayTV is intrinsically linked to the journey of its founder, Sean 'Day' Plott. What began as a passion for StarCraft, a game in which Sean competed professionally and achieved significant accolades, including a first-place finish at the World Cyber Games USA Tournament in 2005, blossomed into a unique online presence. After his competitive career, Sean transitioned into the role of an esports commentator and host, becoming a beloved and influential voice within the gaming community. Recognizing the potential to connect with a broader audience and share his love for games in a more personal and educational way, DayTV was born. It started as a daily web show, the 'Day Daily', where Sean would meticulously analyze StarCraft gameplay, offering insights with his characteristic blend of intelligence, humor, and infectious enthusiasm. This dedication to thoughtful content quickly garnered a loyal following, establishing a cornerstone for what would become a significant presence in online gaming media.

Over the years, DayTV, operated under the company JINK.TV which Sean co-founded with Eric Burkhart in 2010, evolved far beyond its StarCraft roots. While maintaining a deep connection to strategy games, the platform expanded to feature a diverse range of gaming content. This includes playthroughs of new and upcoming titles, explorations of indie gems, beloved adventure games in the 'Mostly Walking' series, and engaging with community-favorite games like Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering. Sean's approach has always been more than just playing games; it's about fostering a positive and intelligent community, encouraging critical thinking about game design, and sharing the joy and camaraderie that gaming can bring. DayTV became a space for thoughtful gaming strategy, comedy, and genuine interaction, transforming from a simple web show into a significant internet television presence for gamers worldwide. This growth is characterized by millions of monthly views and a strong, supportive community that Sean often refers to as his 'playground'. His work and influence have been recognized with prestigious awards such as PC Gamer's 'Gamer of the Year' and inclusion in Forbes '30 Under 30' list, underscoring his substantial impact on esports and the broader gaming culture. The platform continues to be a beacon for intelligent and fun gaming content, driven by Sean Plott's enduring passion and unique ability to connect with his audience.
