Protoss: insane micro, crazy good reactions, great tactics, keeping calm and just playing his hart out. Zerg: builds a few nydus goes ham on that z key.
Kind of biased no ShowTimes control is insane but Darks macro is just on another level, even for a Zerg. Also he's Korean and ShowTime is a foreigner so on average Darks probably played a day for every couple hours ShowTime has :P
Every time I start to try to play this game myself again, and then come back and watch a pair of these pro's play, I just shake my head in wonder. I'm not sure I would even distantly approach managing to do all the stuff these guys are doing even if I trained/practiced all day every day for years. I like this game a lot, but not enough to do that!
You all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any help you can give me!
The matches where swarm hosts were in play were just unwinnable for showtime. He outplayed dark at every turn and it doesnt even matter. Dark just has to keep spamming 0 risk nydus and locusts until he gets a few lucky snipes and it's all over after that.
RaitoYagami88 I think those swarm hosts were a punish for being too passive, I think going swarm hosts on that map is a choice made by dark it’s not “lucky” imo.
@@cameronmiller6240 Toss player goes for T1 unit rush build on 2 bases with 6 gates. Called too passive. Yap that pretty much sums up the Zerg matchup for both toss and terran. Either cheese or lose the macro game. Very balanced race.
So frustrating. I would watch so many more WCS videos, but spoilers make it way less fun to watch. They don’t even upload the videos in order, just spoiled the next two matches for me trying to find the first one.
Happy in the next patch those nydus plays will get a bit nerfed, maybe making them possible to counter. I dont see what any player could do in place of showtime in games 2-3
@@ZoeylaRose Eh, I don't think that'd be good. This game's about exact numbers, including cost and attack speed, and professional players know those numbers and count on them. Giving them a varying number would make it nigh impossible to get the timing right, and since the game's all about timing, that'd be unfair. Of course, it can't stay as it is either.
@@somzer trust me, in time, zerg players *cough cough Serral * will also count it in given enough practice. god, the higher on pro league, the more machine-like they are
Well unfortunately dark knows how to choose zerg and also has fingers so OBVIOUSLY dark was the better player here and definitely didnt still almost pathetically lose after spamming the most overpowered strategy in the history of the game
Thanks guys for the vid! A quick feedback though. Could you maybe name matches in group stages (match1, match2 etc) like in GSL and also modify playlist to go in order? It would help a bit for sure. Thanks though!
Showtime was amazing in this series, but it wasn't enough. I guess the Wall does not build Carriers. If he had transitioned to air in that Game 5 I think he could have won. There is literally nothing Lurkers and Swarm Hosts can do against air units.
@@user-YuHaoHuang He used tough swarm hosts + nydus, I feel its currently also a bit overpowered combination. Hopefully the next patch slight nerf will bring back the balance.
To noob'ss eye. It's pretty much... if it's normal game, Zerg wins, and since those are pros playing, it's really a lot to ask for the other to make a mistake so yea... it's up to the other player to pull out something out of their hats. But in best of 5 series how many times you can really do that? Now I'm really not surprised that those 10000 points guys were both zergs.
33:15 "the game came down to 1 or 2 more energry" with a smug look. Dark had a full contain and double the army size. 1 or 2 more energy would of prolonged the game by a few minutes, but same outcome.
I think the nydus worms should have a max distance between ends. Oh, that "save your energy" oracle was the fate of game 2... Oh-ohh… In the third game I think he should've just kept the Stargate in his base. Dark's army supply was so much more quickly developed - by the time he attacked with his swarm hosts the first time, ShoWTimE had barely anything developed at home infrastructure- and army-wise. Game four. Game five, you really gotta follow up that cannon rush with an army. I'm so glad he stayed in through that game - I see many players tapping out immediately. I think he should have focused on defending while sniping all Dark's overseers - without available supply he would have needed to replenish overlords before being able to respawn his armies.
Yeah, Props to SHowtime. I love watching Starcraft and I play but still rather new to it. That last game Showtime had to be frustrated. That may be a zerg play style but to a newer player it seemed very similar to spawn camping in a FPS if that makes any sense. (Like I said that is how it appeared to me a new player.) I am new so don't blast me, but it just seemed to be a "I don't want to face you head on so I am going to do the same thing over and over even though it seems cheap." Maybe it isn't any different than Terran Med drops, but it just seemed really really different to me. I have seen this strat before with Zerg but just not over and over and over and over and over and....
In war no tactic is too cheap, I mean it's a tournament on the line so any cheese will be used if necessary, although dark Vs reynor shows how he actually plays, he's a great player with a rough time facing showtime, due to showtime being evenly skilled
Yeah, another series. And I don't mean to sound pissy, but there is a constant background noise of people/crowd chatting that I frequently have to pause the video to make sure my coworkers aren't trying to get my attention. j/k ... I'm not at work. Do gamers really work? I know I try to avoid it.
so glad i don't play this unbalanced anymore. Insane Protos skillz vs booring zero risk Zerg playstyle. and ofc P loses to this unbalanced shitshow of a game
Tbh I felt like Dark was toying with Showtime in the games he lost, especially 4. His strategy of using Nydus + Swarmhost--whether fair or not--was unstoppable.
lol no Showtime was actually just better than dark dont make excuses, also the fact that he used swarmhosts and STILL almost lost is honestly pathetic. Zerg players that spam swarmhosts to win cause its all they can do are pathetic and dont deserve any titles :)
op in late game, with strongest economy of all races and the most defensive hardest to kill race and the most cost efficient units in all three tech tiers. How anyone can argue that Zerg isn't overpowered is beyond me. Dunno if they are trolling or stupid.

@@SamO.780 do you even need spoilers to tell who won Showtime vs Dark?
one of the best serie i ever seen! wow especially for Showtime
Fair dues to Showtime for giving Dark a run for his money
I'm halfway through and just saw your comment.... kind of ruined it for me. Shouldn't post spoilers like that in comments..
@@Zdusa what reminds me of not reading comments before I am ready for spoilers^^
@@Zdusa Dumb enough to read the comments

Agreed, this is kinda ridiculous to be honest
@@JeePsSsS I think a combination of a nydus cooldown between uses and slowing down the load/unload rate would be enough.

Banging on pipes to make a nice melody I guess? :D
1:00:57 "Show Dong." LOL No thanks.
Showtime should have totally won game 5. He just played better.
Well unfortunately dark knows how to choose zerg and also has fingers so OBVIOUSLY dark was the better player here and definitely didnt still almost pathetically lose after spamming the most overpowered strategy in the history of the game
omg the photoshop its terrible. hire me blizzard i can cut the white from the background perfectly!
I think this shows that Showtime is a higher caliber player! And since Naniwa is long gone he is now my favorite!
Zerg wins the final 100%. Serral, Rogue, Dark , Reynor or Soo. One of them
Yup. 5 zergs vs 2 Protoss vs Maru
Dark won
Welcome to legacy of the void. OP zerg since 2015

these intros are hype well done.
Were they playing with the no 'air units' mod?
When I hear Nathanias speak I always check whether I accidently put the playback speed to 1.25.
There's some kind of background noise from people, which makes it sounds like people are yelling outside my house, odd.
Really dont understand why they don't let Tasteless do the introduction instead the boring electro voice...
Because his introductions are really cringy and lame...
@@janvictorotte1305 .
blizzard - the Chinese government and zerg are both perfectly balanced and fair.
XD
They have to go back to the original locust that couldnt fly. They are way too OP as they are now.
Figure out a way to beat it.
@@THEinSEnDeaieri also its unfun to play an angainst
Among other things.
Banelings
Locust
Lurker
Broodlord
Infestor
Viper
All need nerfs
may i know how the result of China team. or just selected deleted result?
swarm hosts can be rough but i still really think Adaptive Talons is busted less than a second to burrow is wild for the strength that Lurkers have
Lurkers need to lose their range upgrade and their vs armour bonus dmg
5 lurkers can kill a 200 supply toss army in 10 seconds.
No one has said this yet so what the heck ... Zerg is currently OP.
Still is.
Netflix: are you still there?
Somebody's daughter: 0:39
What a series indeed
1 hp on game 2 nidus. That’s crazy!
7:20 you're welcome
Showtime has no right to be this attractive as an Esports player, wtf
7:27 for first game
Thanks mate
SHOWDONG !!
Commentator: We have Dark vs Showtime
Also Commentator: Serral blah blah Serral blah blah
I think nydus should be even cheaper for zergs to make them more
what a series that we knew Z will win
If this is part of the "Zerg-Imba" train then I'd point out the fact that 0 Infestors were made in these games
I think Showtime put up a far better fight than most expected.
@@janvictorotte1305 indeed it's interesting that dark didn't use infestors at all

Locust swarms arent balanced,they just kill everything
Showtime is good looking. So yeah he also wins in real life. Dammit im jelous

who decided to not show hp at all times? really jarring and annoying to not be able to know
Casting matches without the health bars should be punishable

Did nobody notice that weird voice on the backgroud? Like a subliminar message spacially louder on the beggining of the third match? SOOOO annoying!

dislike because of this voice on background....
Zerg units have good synergy, Protoss and Terran have OP units but the army comp doesn't mesh as well.
Zerg has the op units.
