WOW GREAT GAMES. One of my all time favorite days of GSL. Congratulations to all players for dramatic games that exhibit INCREDIBLE levels of skill.

[@Helix5370]

UNBELIEVABLE. What a group?! GSL is so epic sometimes btw Gemini did an awesome job. Surpised about how rock-solid he was and how he instantly had a groove with State. Good duo. Professional and funny. Keep it up

GG Classic!

[@Ryder.Draconis]

I've said this since 2010. Corruptors are imba!

[@rnf123]

Spoiler: Classic's mind gaming of game 3 was superb. He knew Dark was afraid of mass Phoenix after game 2 and would be unlikely to go mass Ravager again, so he anticipates mass Ling instead, as Dark is practically allergic to making Hydras. First, he gets good damage with his first 3 Oracles. Second, Classic baits the Zergling counterattack by leaving his own base completely defenseless and proxying one of his own gates - so Dark's army is split and his own stays together, all-in on the offensive front. With Dark half on offense and half on defense, and Classic's army unified on offense, Dark gets shredded. Classic even made a single Phoenix at the 7 min mark in game 3 to fake the mass Phoenix swap and continue to make Dark afraid of making more Roaches and Ravagers, which would have helped Dark defend vs Classic's mass Stalker. The mass Oracle finish was the cherry on top.... when Dark finally assembles a good Roach/Ravager force, they get lasered down from above.

Dark has fallen off a cliff skill wise

Don’t hate me for this… Dark looks Hispanic with the face piece 😂😂

[@MrXsunxweaselx]

Spoiler Lol at game 1 ending. "He's got an amazing ONE PUNCH army now" Zerg burrows lurkers and flies corrupters on top of army. GG. 😐

[@ptitlubelin7114]

Corruptors and vikings are op against protoss. With 28 supplies of tiers 2 (14 units) you can stop almost all tier 3 protoss units : carriers, tempests, voidrays, colossi plus a lot of tier 2 units phenixes; prism, oracles. They should cost more supplies. Game 1 is a pretty good example of this.

[@Ciowan]

Freaking Dark almost came back with the Hail Mary at the end of Game 3.... insane

[@oo.646]

Goblins watching over the insects. This game is disgusting.

[@NemesisEP1]

Hissssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jimmyhighroller5366]

Bunny really should have beaten dark. So lame.

[@sketchtirex]

As much as I love Bunny it was his match to lose. He had multiple opportunities to win, but he made too many mistakes.

[@jimmyhighroller5366]

Agreed. Just heartbreaking. I feel like he almost came into his own a year or two ago and now he's stagnating again.

[@waseatenbyagrue]

@@jimmyhighroller5366 It's ok, for now we don't need more terrans pushing through. Nice to have variety.

[@N0noy1989]

@@jimmyhighroller5366More like going down. It's like the Korean scene is going down in skill.

[@lelouchvibritannia7809]

Listen, I like Bunny but Dark is an amazing player and him beating Bunny was well within reasonable expectations Please try not to hate on Dark for doing his job and giving us entertaining games

[@Matthew-cc4xt]

The best zerg is out in round of 16 again. What a surprise this has totally never happened before. Nerf Zerg pls op.

[@Dungeontai]

[@Anthony92815]

Maru was also eliminated in the previous season in the round of 16... That season Dark advanced first place.

[@Matthew-cc4xt]

@@Anthony92815yeah but Dark has been knocked out super early at least twice I can think of off the top of my head. There have been generally far fewer Zerg in Rof16 for a number of years than other races. And the only 2 Zerg who've really had a chance to win in the last maybe 5-7 years I've been watching have been Rogue or Dark of whom Rogue is gone for whatever reason. While There have been tons of top players for Terran and Protoss who've cycled through as real contenders: Maru, Hero, Zest, Trap, Stats, Classic, Gumiho, TY, sOs, Cure, Innovation, Byun, etc Race balance in top 16 recently (feel free to look further back you'll find similar patterns for years): GSL 2023 S3 - Zerg 5/16, 5 Terran, 6 Toss GSL 2023 S2 - Zerg 3/16, 8 Terran, 5 Toss GSL 2023 S1 - Zerg 3/16, 8 Terran, 5 Toss GSL 2022 ST2 - Zerg 6/16, 7 Terran, 3 Toss GSL 2022 S3 - Zerg 7/20, 7 Terran, 6 Toss Total: Zerg 24/84, 35 Terran, 25 Toss 2022 S2 - Zerg 7/20 2022 S1 - Zerg 6/20 2022 ST1 - Zerg 4/16 2021 ST3 - Zerg 4/20 2021 S3 - Zerg 4/16 2021 S2 - Zerg 5/16 2021 ST2 - Zerg 5/16 2021 S1 - Zerg 5/16 2021 ST1 - Zerg 4/16 etc etc etc Underrepresented in nearly every single GSL tourney for years.

For a supposedly "premier" tier competition, GSL has the worst editing team. The audio delay is undefendable.
