Dark rejects your StarCraft 2 meta and substitutes his own.

[@seonjuseo7270]

Playing against dark feels like playing against lore accurate Zerg and i can't get enough of his exceedingly teathrical way to rekt people

[@Sianthris]

I utterly love when he just gets into that true form and just "darks" someone so hard they lose the next game too

That first game was one of the most StarCraft 7 minutes I’ve ever seen

[@ayf888]

The zerg play style in this video is just amazing, instead of stacking armies, the sudden invasion in early game is just beautiful. The worms are really popping out of nowhere, the true definition of apocalypse. Sadly, the terrain maximize his base coverage to the edge of available land in the remaining matches.

[@OniFeez]

I love the fact that Dark is seemingly arrogant enough to say 'best player is dark as ranked by dark', but actually has the skill to back that up with aplomb. And his builds tend to be fascinating enough as well so it's fun to watch.

[@zhadoomzx]

Dark should have gotten burrow for those roach / ravagers harassing the gold minerals... that would make them twice as annoying.

[@kenhorn4327]

Nice job casting as always! Fun series to watch! Dark and Maru, playing with fire again!

One additional point in the last game that really kinda sealed the deal with that Lurker nidus into the main is that it knocked out the Ghost Academy, leaving Maru with a finite amount of Ghosts left with which to stabilize against a Lurker Viper comp

[@PInnHeAd]

Dark is playing how i want every pro to play, anything that might work, yes dark forces some builds and he literally bonks his head on his opponent until they can't take it some times as well but just his originality and how wide his play style is! He is SO much fun watching, then winter on top of that, you are almost dark's personal caster, your casting with darks plays works perfectly! Cutting into the economy just by existing, they're like children! Luckily i wasn't drinking anything at the time, my screen would need a clean if i did! Holy hell, never change! :D

[@prismaticbeetle3194]

only player that uses zerg properly he actually makes hydras while others try to be cool without them

[@ddenozor]

Hydras are the only unit that have any hopes of killing Medivacs. It's a shame they are only good for turning into Lurkers. They are the mascot of Zerg race yet they are arguably the worst unit in their roster, whereas other mascots Ghosts and Zealots are pretty good.

[@soleo2783]

​@@ddenozor eeeh idk about zealots, and arguably the marine is the terran mascot, not ghost

[@thatunrecognizedguy2295]

Every single game involving Dark vs a Terran really makes me think “man, they really refuse to build turrets, don’t they” like. Two turrets is cheaper than losing a handful of marines and it shuts down nydus so hard

[@harislazuardi]

Sorry im new enjoyer here, i just want to ask here 32:51, why zerg win the game Even terran still have a lot build and unit?

[@ddenozor]

At that point Terran lost all their tanks except one remaining in the base and alot of bio units aswell as their 4th base while Z kept vipers and most of his hydras alive, which are probably gonna turn into lurkers soon. Without tanks and a considerable bio force you can't even take that 4th back which means you won't have enough scans for those lurkers and you absolutely can't be active on the map which means Z will have infinite resources and opportunities while you are already down to 2 mining bases (main base has to be running out at that point) and ghosts are a distant dream. Maru might be able to win from that position against a plat zerg but certainly not against someone like Dark.
