Legendary commentary. 49:37, "knowing is half the battle. The other half is the battle" 😂
We round up
I really loved this comment too.
Serral might be the best Zerg at the moment, but Dark is truly the most entertaining. And he is a different kind of monster when he is focused. There were times I forgot he is playing against Maru.
Sadly, serral games just aren't fun to watch anymore. Imo,too formulaic.
Serral said quote . Dark is the only player I'm scared of u. Quote
@@growtocycle6992 people just aren’t at his level
@@growtocycle6992 At the highest level, largely they dont die to stupid stuff or weird stuff. At least thats how serral plays. You cant kill him with mind games or stuff like that. So you just have to be really on top of what your doing. So it comes down to formula
@@growtocycle6992 one of the reason why some people still won't recognize Serral as the best player of all time. When Serral wins, he destroyed his opponent, which is not very exciting to watch at all unless you are already his fan. But when Dark or Maru win, sometimes they would comeback from a huge deficit (because they are not as dominant as Serral) and that would make a lot of people fall in love with them.
"More scans than a Cosco checkout" lmao
Winter, if you're reading this:
And if you want more validation, you're the only SC2 caster I watch, the others are all boring or cringe (by my standards at least) so if you weren't retired... i'd probably only ever rewatch your old videos from here on out
Game 1 was the wildest timing attack I've seen since HerO and Dark cheesed each other at IEM Katowice
Love it. Terran wants to wall off with less than minimum troops and got punished.
I haven't played SC2 in over a decade now, but when the algorithm recommended your videos and I decided to check it out for nostalgia, I was instantly hooked. Love your humor and your passion! You're quite literally an everyday routine for me now, so thanks!
And just so you know, yes, you do make every day much better
same. didnt even know sc2 was a thing still. Winter popped up for me too and man is it good to see some SC action again
Same for me. I quit playing SC2 ladder before HotS was released and just played a few arcade games since. Watched a few games occasionally after the AlphaStar thing got my interest. About a year or 2 ago I found Winter's channel and now he's the only caster I watch and it's every day thing.
Yeah woo thanks yt algo! And thanks for putting in the work winter!!
Can we appreciate how knowledgeable Winter is? Like he immediately knew Dark was gonna drop queens etc, love this for him!
Dark really ignites this passion for Zerg in me. The swarm adheres to no rules, they adapt and overcomes.
How satisfying is a zerg takeover of a terran encampment?
The idea of Dark retiring made this day just a little bit worse.
Though to be fair, he has been saying that for literally years at this point. Maybe he can find a way around, since he is now father. I know in Germany, it was rare (at my time in the 2000s), that fathers had to do their mandatory military service.
"Plus 3, 3 is about to finish for Dark as big daddy is coming home. The Ultras are on the way across the map." Winter is so good at this casting thing.
The player card descriptions of their special abilities are so accurate. 😂
I like Dark by the same reason I like Her0, they both seem to do whatever they like. But Dark indeed have 2 versions of himself. When he is really focused, the difference is visible.
Dark and Hero are close rivals, they've built each other in chaos style play like how steel hones steel
Its the same with Hero really, though i think of the two of them, Dark is the better player, because even in important games Hero just makes too many mistakes, i mean his walloffs (or lack of) have become a meme at this point and not without reason. Personally i think that he should just put a probe in his walls with a shieldbattery behind at this point. That way he at least has something in his wall, after he F2s.
@@Daniel-rd6st yeah but you know.. protoss cant do many mistakes
@@norrinradd1 Well, as these Finals showed, so cant Terran.
That final push by Dark at the front, and nydus in the main was just picture perfect. What an incredible series. Thanks for covering it!
Sometimes the most ineffective Strategy will work because the last thing to be expected.
That was one of the best 'Get off my Creeeeeep' -Karen
Winter and Jimmy best duo. Thx 🙏
I'm starting to think Jimmy isn't real
@@mileskoester5395 Sounds like zerg propaganda. Don't believe their lies. Jimmy is real!
Anybody else miss when Maru would build barracks anywhere but his main base and then pull the workers and all in every game?
Oh year, i still remember when Soo absolutly trashed him 3 games in a row in record time and kicked him out of the WCS of that year, because Maru just kept on proxi raxing :D
Hey Winter. Youre amazing. Your combination of jokes, technical knowledge - and ability to communicate the drama of the battles.. while also highlighting the skills, and styles of these masters.. I havent played Sc2 in the longest of times - but a game cast by you is something Im always down for.
Would you consider doing "profile videos" on the biggest names? What they are known for - notable wins - styles etc?
Thank you for everything you do, and congratulations on the sucsess. Well deserved.
I like the idea! Dark’s Profile video would have to be 3 hours long though 😅
Dark's Lurker game was near perfect technical skill on top of predator sense.
Gourmet zerg cheese, artisanal roach timing, and Winter with The Jacket. Talk about Sunday Funday.
"Annnnnnd the zerglings get in".....story of my damn life. NGL its nice to see it happen to someone else.
Dark jumps over the front door and lets himself in😮
You definitely made my day! GSL finals cast from you that's featuring Dark vs Maru on my brithsday!
Couldn't have been happier today!
This one deserves a “watch this. Trust me” winter label.
damn, dark playing out of his mind!
Leaving this comment because you said you read all of the comments.. I've been watching the casting since i think 2018, i think at some point i had trouble falling asleep without hearing your voice in the background lol, you do make, at least my day, better and more relaxing with your videos, so keep it up!
3:42 is what makes me watch Winter since the beginning
Maru Vs Dark. 29 seconds in, and I'm invested already.
infested*
@@benismann Bravo!
47:32 Maru literally shoots Infestor with two EMP's before Dark shoots parasitic bomb.
I grew up watching broodwar commentary by husky sc, klazart sc, now as an adult i watch winter sc for starcaft 2 XD
I don't remember where it started, but the meme of Dark being the best player(zerg) as ranked by Dark is so fucking funny to me. It also reminds me of my favorite (sarcastic) comeback/joke whenever my abilities at anything are questioned. I just say "Nuh uh, I'm really good at XYZ, you can ask my Mom... She will tell ya."
It started with an interview ahead of a tournament. All the players were asked who they thought was number 1. All said Serral, except Dark who said Dark.
HEY WINTER!!! I'm an old SC1 and WarCraft player ... I put you on in the background when I'm doing other activities ... I'll never be at your level of play, but your replays are a replacement of the hours I used to waste in game play ... your streams do make my day a little bit better, at an age of 56 ... thanks
The queen voice truly never gets old. Shout outs to the VAs for Karen, Lucielle, Brenda, and all the other queens out there.
I think Maru might be one of the few players Dark has absolute respect for, given the way he plays against him. For lots of other players, Dark is willing to play up the memes and just kind of roll with it. But against Maru, Dark brings his most try-hard A-game. Game 1 was almost hilarious, but Game 2, wow. Not only was Game2 some of the best Dark gameplay I've ever seen, it might be some of the best ZERG I've ever seen. Really immaculate.
Dark is by far the most fun pro player to watch. The dude goes for so many unusual moves and strategies
Winter you have hamstrung my legitimate hobbies by kindling an interest in high level play. My family became concerned when I started 3D printing Terran buildings instead of doing real designs. This niche, statistical space chess is both a blessing and a curse. Thanks, keep it up
You’re absolutely right. My own reflexes, decision making, and APM have long dropped below the level to play SCII at high level it is despite its age still the most entertaining game to watch as a spectator.
gonna miss dark when he goes to his military service, hopefully he comes back better than ever.
Prolly not, he is pushing 30. He is such a legend tho, maybe the most influential zerg. He will be missed
The nydus is such an unbalanced mechanism. No risks for almost instant infinite units teleport with no regards to distance.
Terran and protoss have so much risk while moving units across the map
So glad you covered this match!
OK, I was at "Winter is the best caster out there". Now I'm at "Winter is easily the best caster out there". A bottomless well of puns I have never heard before. And the puns are brilliant! That sumo comparison had me screaming :D
game 2 dark with all the lurkers in maru's base is INSANE.
This game was just max Dark. Every game was different, unexpected, brutal. Great series, great commentary. Thanks Winter, as always. Wonderful casting.
Amazing series final! I'm glad I waited for Winter's cast to watch this awesome match up.
I’ve been watching for a while now and just wanted to say thank you for all the videos. Your commentary is the best, and has made many days better for me!
Great commentary Winter. been watching for awhile and this series was one of the most entertaining from both players and the casting!!
hey man - you definitely made my day a little bit better. i haven't played or watched in years, but just last week i was saying i still think we haven't beat ST2 as an esport.
you're fantastic at this, btw. i was able to drop back in after a decade and could follow everything. great content
I really don't know much about star craft 2, only started to look up beginner guides and such just so I can understand the lingo. But Dark by far is my favorite character/player of all time so far. And your commentary really helped me like him and understand him. Best player in the world by Dark, it's Dark! That's just so funny to me. Now the final boss is leaving due to required military service time. Rip. I'll miss watching him. Hopefully someone can take his place in the meantime.
if u need cliff notes on dark...game one is all u need to see
Winter as just a 15 year old I’ve been playing this game semi consistently (just campaign coop and custom) since I was 3 with my dad until about 4 months ago I decided I’d give 1v1 a try since then I have watched every single one of your daily videos and more previous ones and I have to say they make my day a little bit better every time I tune in I’m at diamond 2 on my Protoss and Terran and your switch to kinda explain stuff has helped me soo much so I just wanted to say thank you ❤
Maru was my favorite for a long time, but the last year of watching Winter cast Dark over and over has really brought me around. Still can't get on the Byun train though.
Watching your videos almost daily has become one of my pass times Winter. I may not thumbs up every single time, but I do try to watch every video all the way through. Hopefully that does something positive. Your videos are very entertaining.
I wonder if the players ever swing by and watch these videos like "Yeah, I did that." 😆
This is the DARK that makes me feel like I was spawned from a hatchery and got my adrenal glands upgraded! :)
When you hit play, ff 5 minutes to pass the early game "embarrassing victory"
mm k, backtrack 4 minutes again to watch how it happened anyway :D
The Man, The Myth, The Darkness on the map full of Terran! ... and zerg.... anyway! Dark and Maru wooooo! love how action packed the games were.
Goodbye Dark ty for everything
Amazing Games, Amazing Cast.
maru getting supply blocked hard late game 2 was half of what killed him there
What a game 4! Beautifully done by Dark
Dark now adding spellcaster to composition now make him soo strong holy... Dark seems now more methodical ,almost feels like seeing Serral , with the crazyness hope gon get better from this on , root for him ....
Thank you
love the casting, hilarious at times lol Brendaaaa !!!
Best RTS Game ever, sending love and good vibes from South Africa 🇿🇦
I have seriously enjoyed watching these and it makes me want to go play SC2 again. You should add commentary to your own matches win or loose its a lot of fun to watch.
Its amazing how DARK plays such a different brand of Zerg and wins against the best Terran in the World. No doubt DARK is great, but I think it also has to do with the tournament style of the GSL compared to the oversee tourneys. You can really plan for your opponents styles
I can't believe dark is gonna be retiring.. I only started watching starcraft 2 because of your videos last month... Dark quickly became my fave player O7
Great series! Great cast! Thank you.
I feel as though whenever winter talks up a player, there is an invisible coin flip that immediately proves winter wrong or right
The arrested development meme is 🔥
3:14 Missheard it as "queen job." 💀
Dark put four powerful Ws on the board, gosh dang
Maru just hasn't seemed the same since the loss to Oliveria in IEM Katowice. It's like he's lost all confidence. I hope he finds his resolve again :(
Thanks for all the great content, Winter. You always make my day at least a little bit better! (Especially when Dark is involved)
I hope this isn't the last GSL we see...
14 years of history...
For more than a decade, the most prestigious tournament, not just in Starcraft, but in the entire RTS genre.
Yes, the Koreans never looked for advertising it worldwide and never seemed like it will ever grow bigger, but still...
The fans highly respected it, came all over the world showing their love.
GSL made a lot of people go to Korea or just support the tournament.
The prizes went down 10 times simply because the organizers didn't move a finger to expand it, to advertise it outside Korea, or to make it interesting for foreign investors.
The decision is completely unexplainable IMHO.
If I remember correctly, once Samsung was among the sponsors and I thought to myself "OK, it's a step forward. Samsung is a worldwide corporation." But then, they made it strictly in Korean. They never tried to reach Europeans and Americans. (For e.g. I am a big fan of the Samsung products.) Samsung is considered the best in Europe, so it was so easy to do. But they didn't...
If Koreans have decided to stick to BW, I am here to call it a bad decision.
Thank you for the casting, Winter.
We could feel the nostalgia and the sadness... With the clouds, comes the rain... and after that, the sun shines again...
❤❤❤
all of these games in this vidya are incredibly entertaining.
I am becoming a Dark fan, dude is an incredible player.
The presidential debate we deserve
Great series. Dark has been absolutely trouncing kids lately. He is out to prove something before he leaves.
Holy hell, Dark played it perfectly!! Amazing games
An expanse reference? Yes please!
Missing the "I'm sorry I blacked out for a moment"
despite watching for a long time I haven't seen roach hyrdra that was quite a interesting comp
Game 2 was WILD. I wonder why people dont do this production raiding more often.
Awesome games and perfect commentary as always!
"That was optimistic"
I have had a good day. Thank you Winter
Maaru will always be more meta than dark . The end . ❤
very cute ending thx for the content i dont even play sc2
Love you winter... ur the goat... keep up the great work 👍
Thank you Winter
fantastic series.
I could watch Winter all day. And I do.
The script writers are getting way too good at this . . .
Is Dark ever gonna start his military service? 😂
Motivations for Winter, we got to 200k subs, we push now until 1m, tomorrow, jimmy what? I need? Well Winter to wear cosplay protoss
I'm here strictly for your queen voice
Serral took Maru offensive and multitasking skills against him, now dark takes a GSL from Maru making him pay for his greedy builds.
@WinterStarcraft dope commentary as always keep doing what you do man! :) 😊
thx winter for another great cast
Winter I think you can continue to branch out into creating personalities and voices for all the units. I think you did it recently with some Terran unit and it was funny. This is sort of along the lines of some of the funniest Tastosis jokes. Where they draw from the lore and sort of make fun of it.
Late night Winter. 👀
youre awesome i only watch sc2 because of youre commentary youre awesome m8 and you often brighten my day
these games were so Dark they were almost Florencio
