    I think I finally understand why Dark considers himself the best player in the world. Other players play to win. Dark plays to entertain. That means he's going to do every strategy imaginable, regardless of viability. He'll take every gold base and mix in terrible cheeses because if they work, they'll make highlight reel games.
    I'm starting to think this is the way Dark thinks, which is probably what makes him so entertaining.

    • @busTedOaS
      @busTedOaS 7 месяцев назад +26

      honestly I don't believe any player at that level can afford to sacrifice winrate for entertainment. Might be more of a side effect of being unpredictable.

      How delusional do you have to be to think that a pro player like dark cares about your entertainment more than winning

    • @hehxP
      @hehxP 7 месяцев назад +27

      It's delusional to think that Dark plays to win. Dark plays to feed on his enemies anxieties, thus entertainment emerges from the wow factor on how far one can play the game to play the game.
      His win rate is just a side effect.

    • @zafraz1077
      @zafraz1077 7 месяцев назад +1

      Hmm more like he does new strategies to test them out to win more... I don't think they care much about entertaining. They practice in houses and ladder. Not some circus. As much as we like to think they're humouring us I don't think they do. Such as in football or any other popular sports.

    I just wanna thank you again, Winter. I believe this is the first Astrea match I've watched that wasn't against Scarlett since I came back a few months ago to Pro SC2. Not that there is anything wrong with that match. I was just hoping for a bigger sample size of him considering he is a top NA talent. You provided an excellent example. He's actually quite a player. Again, not that I had any doubt. I have watched him play Scarlett several times now.

He can usually adapt, but some of those Storms were just so on point. His initiations were also so clinical on multiple fronts. I think I found a favorite.

    The biggest difference between the very best players (Dark, Clem, Several, Maxpax etc) and the "next tier pro players" seems to be that the top tier pros *somehow* don't really take damage from random runbys most of the time. I don't know how they do it though

    Dumb diamond toss (on his spare time) here but... esp in the 2nd game, while he had all his momentum, pretty sure he could have found the resources for a single stargate and a couple voids... obviously won't do much vs ling/ravager, but just the presence of them assures any overseer that goes with the army won't go far without queen support, and best case won't go back home. Given the amount of stalkers on the field, corruptors weren't even a serious option

    Dark is my favourite SC2 player. While Serral is probably the SC2 goat, Dark's unorthodox strategies make his games extremely fun to watch. I especially love how he keeps managing to sneak groups of zerglings and roaches into his enemy's base even while under heavy pressure, then survives at home and goes ahead because of the economic damage and chaos he engineered.
