Dear GSL Please bring back the in-game player announcement voice. It is classic to the GSL. It gives suspense. I miss it. Thanks for everything you all do. ♥️

[@soroushdarvish9281]

It is very strange decision to have it removed.

[@kilmer009]

@@soroushdarvish9281 Keep in mind GSL is incredibly tight on budget now. Just the fact that it's at this level of production on nothing but fan contributions is impressive. They probably need to cut non-essential items.

[@fj9092]

Best GSL-finals in a long time! Thank you AfreecaTV and Stateless for the cast! And congratulations for the winner!

[@Handle35667]

Great win for Dark. His play on the day was far superior to the other finalists.

[@Jaze2022]

Dark's play was beautiful. Breathes new life into SC2

[@samuelalbertoancallealcoce326]

Zerg's strategy is the same. Destroy everything with banelings. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@dustincintron1682]

No spoilers but, its weird how casters always talk about Dark like hes not the #1 zerg in Korea and second really only to Serral. They always talk like its ragnarok or some shit.

[@plantex625]

Yeah, hes very clearly the #2 zerg and top 5 in the world. To be fair though he is probably the underdog against Cure and definitely the underdog against Maru. I would rank my top 5 as Serral, Maru, Cure, Dark, Hero although the bottom 3 are all arguable

[@bahachan]

How is cure better than dark

[@plantex625]

@@bahachan I think his floor is higher over the last 2 years or so. I think its Dark at his best > Cure most of the time > Dark most of the time recently. But totally debatable

[@ZC.Andrew]

When did they suggest otherwise? They talked Dark up plenty.

[@ChimkenBoigur]

@@plantex625Cure’s winrate vs Dark is abysmal, it was even shown on stream. Even just on a general level, Dark is more consistent, has way better micro, way better lategame, way better gamesense, way better mental, etc.

[@ChadGambler]

That Finals was awesome!!

[@Dropbare]

So good seeing Dark very clearly improve a lot lately. Not just mechanical skill, but the showing of different ideas and thinking novel on the spot. Very interesting and strong player.

[@Goliath028]

[@sheeftz]

Creator played so well, and still it's nowhere near enough to even think about winning GSL.

[@waseatenbyagrue]

I think it is near enough to think about winning. He was in the top 4.

[@dustincintron1682]

I think getting a top 4 is MORE than a good result for him. He hasn't merited winning a GSL let alone reaching the finals. His overall performance has just never been up there with the guys who do make finals. I say that with no disrespect, I like the guy.

[@redwing999]

I agree. Creator really played well. He really delivered in his matches against Maru! Don't forget, when Maru is losing, he's just on par with you! To see that Creator was fighting him head-to-head like that in both early game and late game is really impressive.

[@brantadam1526]

His warp prism micro was particularly impressive

[@dustincintron1682]

Creator has a lot of potential for sure.

[@Iseenoobpeoples]

What an amazing game and player. Dark's game sense is on another level

[@АлексейКатурин]

Dark is doing Darker things. I was sad about Cure losing to Dark, but then when same happened to Maru, I'm just glad for Dark. Awesome and very smart moves.

[@blomsterkasper]

Such wonderful cast, final and incredibly well deserved win for Dark! As a husband, I can relate so much - wanting to do so well for my family! :)

[@davidandino3799]

Spoiler --- Wow, Dark is nuts. I knew he was gonna win because this tournament he has been on a tear. I didn't think he was gonna body Maru like that. Holy cow!!

[@spinky342]

In the last game, the timing of his pressure to get the tanks to siege 2s before the nydus popped in the main was absolute art. Starcraft at its best

[@JaharNarishma]

Dark did play amazingly. He read the games incredibly well. The Cure greed being shut down completely was just some foreplay. Dark continued with adapting to the game state and just made attacks work, made impossible defenses work, and just played well in general.

[@gabrielhammond523]

Absolutely terrific line up. Some of the best Star craft gamers of all time…. Too cool.

[@youlexander]

DARK on GOD MODE left me speech less. E P I C ! GG WP ! But as Protoss and Zerg master I would like to see Protoss win some more tournaments.

[@TheRRRoRy]

It's not about being less or more emotional. It's about accepting all of your emotions. Without them people become too limited in terms of ideas and creativity. So it's always about balance and control of your feelings, not about blocking all of them and becoming a robot.

[@Mrpanzonebontempone]

So happy for the winner! He deserve it so much, killer instict at the best!

[@jimmyhighroller5366]

GSL let's goooooooooo!!!

[@Eatbutternow]

When Dark and Maru play against each other it’s almost always a great series

[@courage3535]

Dark is the only zerg player who'd stay at the top if they ever balanced the race. All the other top zergs crutch so hard on the unbalanced things while dark will just do amazing plays that would work regardless.

[@JaharNarishma]

I like how Dark said he disliked darkness, that it was his biggest fear. He also said that his gamer tag is the best. Dark is doing a Batman: take the name of something you fear and make your opponents fear it too. Also interesting that most players agreed that the best gamer tag of the GSL players is Dark.

[@unlearningify]

Well deserved win.

It's crazy to see the physical size difference between Maru and Dark

[@l_jfm_l]

I'm missing the old days player presentations at the begining of the match with the camera plays and stuff :_ also... SPOILER ALERT: . . . . After all these years I see that nothing changed in the SC2 elite scene... always (mostly) dominated by ZERG and TERRAN. GSL Protoss champions are the true heroes IMO.

[@danieln6700]

Yea production gone down alot. I mostly watch broodwar as not much happens in gsl anymore. It's mostly the same

[@dpend]

Yup Toss was nerfed out of viability at pro level. There’s only 2 races in this game to play if u want to win tournaments 😂

[@Wanderer1991]

At this point, Clem is the best Terran player in the world. Compared to Maru, Clem’s play style is just way too aggressive. But W for Dark though, that was mad!

[@kilmer009]

Thanks to all the crew and those donating for keeping GSL alive! Hats off to the translator, I don't know how accurate they are as I don't speak Korean, but the speed and flow is top notch, even if they are just rounding out the translation with their own words. I remember a few years back it was a lot clunkier. Great job.

[@foxy2348]

Hyyyype! Wow "stateless" is a thing now? 😂

[@Leishtek]

Finals Game 2: I'm just sitting here with both hands on my face with goosebumps. Like the casters were saying, it looks like a textbook loss but then you look and he's literally attacking at every single point on the map.

[@andrejtippner]

Stateless just can't end a sentence without a "but". Yes, *end* a sentence. And it doesn't make sense in 80% of the time. And using "crazy" in like every game several times completely voids the meaning of this words.

[@facundosoler2200]

So happy for Dark ! When Creator got eliminated I started rooting for Dark ! He is a legend and if I were to learn Zerg I would try to learn Dark's style. It's so representative of what the race can do in a smart and scary way.

[@fredericbouchardwong4596]

Is it true that GSL is going to end soon? That would be a disaster 😢

[@lilhaxxor]

I am kind of surprised Tasteless didn't recognize the 1-1-1 Terran push from Wings of Liberty. Oh, he is a Protoss player. Still, that build was heavily used against Protoss, so he should definitely be able to recognize it. But thankfully we have an analytical caster with him (to replace Artosis). Guys, you're making a good pair, keep it up. 😉

[@Caccac40]

lol lets be honest we can see how rigged this is just with game 2...those are not mistakes it is completely organized to loose. Leaving the gold right after seeing that Dark had the watch tower, just to defend "nothing" come on...I mean I get it they need to make GSL competitive but this was just too obvious. Nothing new with the Korean scene but clear here...

[@bissekerskij]

why don't terrans build their sim city in the main base in such a way that it is physically impossible to build a nydus canal, as it is just no place for it. I think with all supply depots, some turrets and production buildings, may be even ebays and armories it is plenty of tools to use all the space so production would be 100% safe from a nydus attack....

[@grexx4437]

This is the Zerg's life you cannot plan for it, what you think I drone for to leave open my back door? Overrun this GSL, Zerg for life suck it Terran... sorry Protoss....
