Haven’t watched the others yet, but the first game is an exemple of why Dark is so entertaining to watch (and why he deserves the title of Final Boss)

There are players better than dark in results… but he is hands down the more entertaining player to watch… by a hundred miles

[@TheBigCheez365]

100% agree. I was cackling watching the second half of that first game. Absolutely wild SC2 to watch!

[@TheTiltedOne]

OH NO! I have to start another day watching an hour of winter SC2 casting while Im at work.

[@krunkey]

Hightlight of the work day

[@vix3me]

Same here

[@ngageman1988]

THE HORROR

[@KingOfNebbishes]

Oh no, not again

[@WholeCarrots_]

Similar here but at school lol

[@redwings13400]

Here's how I imagine the first game came to be. Dark: "Hey, Rogue? What's the worst zerg unit composition in the game?" Rogue: "Hmm... Maybe Swarm Host/Ultralisk? Why?" Dark: "No reason. Thanks."

[@unclenchasbestos]

Lol

[@kenhorn4327]

I like how Dark uses all of the abilities of the zerg and mixes and matches their abilities differently with each game exploring the possibilities. He may not always win with all that creativity, but at least it is fun and interesting to watch. Obviously, he makes the other players get more inventive as well. I also appreciate Winter's creativity in casting these games! Thanks! Keep them coming!

[@timlee1794]

"I want to feel like that nydus is inside my main......... base." 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Faux.Player]

Is this a dirty joke? 😂

[@comradecarl8105]

Yea…made me raise an eyebrow

[@screes620]

Are you not entertained?!?! Love watching dark vs anyone. Such a dynamic and fun player to watch.

[@asbjrnfossmo1589]

Yes... Yes, I am entertained. With that first game, how could anyone even slightly interested in SC2 not be entertained?

[@user-zq4pb1lm5k]

Best commentator ive ever seen/heard the right amount of humor.

[@LucianDevine]

Agreed, and it's not even close!

[@asbjrnfossmo1589]

When i first started watching many years ago, the accent bothered me. Not my mother tongue. But slowly, the accent has grown on me, and I now like it. That would NOT have happened if the content wasn't very well worth watching. And the last few years, damn, there's no contest who is the best caster. The witty remarks combined with supreme knowledge of the game, and never ever pausing... So good!

[@PInnHeAd]

I like your casting more than anyone else, you can find a play by play caster by the dozens, but someone with the humor and small tangents and personality that you have? nah, one of a kind, you are the only reason i watch anything SC2 related, well that and harstems series, they are quite fun aswell, and you brought me there!

[@CreepingTerror]

I love how chaotic the games with the gold bases that can be attacked from the other side are.

[@ironmonkey1512]

I don't understand why they just don't put a pecker there.

[@SD-jf7nb]

I'm waiting for a Zerg to make a spine against the Reaper there to buy mining time.

[@tommasGRC]

The way Winter's expression change when he notices the fusion core. :D

[@ericstahley4157]

29:52 "Yeah, that's the one, that's the guy right there!"

[@danielfigueredo6994]

Only Winter can handle a Gumiho vs Dark

What an absolute slugfest - all units involved must watch!

[@Yuri-gt6ns]

That last fight was so epic that Yamato Cannon hit 😂😂

[@DiscipleofVenser1992]

Only thing making my day a little bit better, even more than Winter casts, is knowing that even the "villain" of SC2 gets a happy ending.

[@adoi8467]

10:39 I think you should go talk to your wife buddy. Also congratz on Dark getting a Zergling of his home! It's not easy being an honest, hard working blue mineral worker and provide for his Queen

[@LucianDevine]

Is he/she/it named Zergling? I hope so!

[@ghandi08]

Just recently found your channel and you instantly became my favorite SC2 caster! Keep doing your thing!

[@not_cardoso]

At this point this channel is just a Dark fan club... and I'm not complaining...

Best way to see SC2.. being a Dark fan :)

[@Mrniceguy2209]

The night is Dark, and full of Zerg.

[@Yayaloy9]

The ground is shaken with mechanic feet's and the sky is the terran

[@choncis8318]

"Brenda, is this a convention?" 😂😂😂

[@jimmyha1898]

The Admiral called in the fleet again! My favorite Terran ever, and my favorite Zerg player ever going at it. What a way to start the day.

[@MathieuLeclerc-od2lf]

Thanks!

[@krunkey]

Thanks for your cast Winter!

[@drewskiwest5284]

lololol "more one-sided than a mobius strip" - nice reference.

[@Val-dx6zo]

“This is a very long death animation from Dark” lol

[@danielholm7958]

I have never played starcraft competitively. I barely touch starcraft unless I play arcade with friends, but i still find these videos very entertaining and interesting to watch. Great job!

[@Scidzcopter]

oh didn't know that Dark was a father now, congratz to him ( and especially his wife, tbh she did most of the job ) i guess !

[@mirankordic9047]

No wonder youre doing better than ever. You got your consistency and schedule on point. gg wp. more please

[@Chauzuvoy]

Blue flame hellion run-by? What is this, 2011? I love it!

[@Eveseptir]

What an awesome first game. Dark just thrives on chaos.

[@TheNerdForAllSeasons]

57:38 this is why Gumiho is the true people's Terran, not Cure. Because every Terran dreams of building the Battlecruiser armada to close out a tournament run.

[@pleasespammesomemore4436]

this series is pure joy. my day has infinitely improved

[@SauvelmM]

That 'Yoko... speaking of beetles' transitions was 👌

[@eskurian8565]

This was a very fun match to watch! Thanks for the cast Winter!

[@IsThisHandleTaken]

Great series! Gumiho is entertaining, I loved seeing the commitment to cyclones and banshees in game 2

[@christopherpumphrey7023]

Two of the most entertaining players to watch, love their innovative play.

[@kylebroussard5952]

*These games honestly remind me of watching the SC2 bots* Its so high level it almost devolves into guerilla warfare

[@stalwart56k]

Daddy Dark and the Yoko Ono banshee got me good Winter haha.

[@ArmstrongAlley]

Burrow move roaches is something I would like to see Dark try on Dynasty.

[@ferjavm]

Man I love this matchup of the Admiral against Dark.

[@markvon9727]

at around 57:27 when Winter sees the core :)

[@Kosss2001]

Dark is always an awesome watch whether he wins or loses. He draws me in evertime

[@jedimindtrick3391]

God damn dark that first match opening was impressive 👏

[@kawi63606ify]

So awesome seeing battle cruisers again

[@robertobohm5328]

that first game was a piece of art

[@iwakuralain3064]

That swarm host ultralisk micro was hilarious

[@gewinnste]

Meanwhile, Winter is a better caster than Tastosis ever were - it's such great fun to get these games presented by him :)

[@davidlan5698]

That's a dead on Dark & Jr portrait. Congrats to Dark for his firstborn.

[@Einmahl]

I feel we don't get enough of this up & comming player "Dark, can we get moar & moar of him please :P

[@CrimsonA1]

Another Winter vid, another en-riched day

[@lurpwgn]

That first game was such a banger

[@colbybradford9174]

Winter is such a nerd, but he's also my favorite SC2 streamer. Which begs the question: who is more the nerd, the streamer or the one who watches?

[@Prepperequipmentdepot]

You are legit on my top 3 funny list. You could be one of the top stand up comedians in the country. 49:29

[@zombi3907]

that first game was incredible. These guys are so much better than me.

[@FlokiTech]

Holy shit the cyclones are beyond garbage right now, they even lose to roaches.

[@mattmansion9534]

'This fight is more one sided than a mobius strip'

[@LucianDevine]

Sir Richard, the first of his name, on a mission from god, got the boys back together. He led from the front, and gave his life for the cause. Though he is gone, he is never forgotten. Press F to pay yours respects!

[@NovusGM]

Game 1 amazed me how it turned into a macro game after that start. ❤

[@dyoolyoos]

Game of the year this week!

[@Wabits]

your hard work is paying off. All you need now is a few cat videos and your all set.

[@meurtri9312]

"more one sided than a mobius strip" tickles me good

[@cathulionetharn5139]

Thank You Om nom nom

[@madisoncrosby]

thank

[@TheArtanis7]

I wonder why blizzard did not introduce like some arcade mode for Starcraft which would add fun factor. By that i think on stuff that can happen on map like random appearance of rain or snow which would slow units or storm which can destroy units. Pickup bonuses or recources. Or like cards buff/nerf at the start of each game like Winter show at the beginning of match. I know it would be hard to balance but that unexpected factor would be fun to watch.

[@andykerr1263]

pros would not want anything to do with it. having that much randomness might be fun for the spectators, but would be hella frustrating for players.when money was on the line

[@TheArtanis7]

@@andykerr1263 Yeah, you are right.

[@alexwood9941]

I always appreciate the reminder to like, sometimes I forget

[@mcmarkmarkson7115]

battle cruiser haz arived!

[@beardoftears]

The past tense of "cleave" is "cloven"

[@nguyenhaidung8833]

Come for the final, stay for the Brenda impressions.

[@sixwheeler3598]

One of these days i want to see a professional match using the little buffs/debuffs on the cards.

[@jondoe4624]

The corruptoricide at he end was 🤌

[@SirJohny5]

Great casting

[@drewskiwest5284]

YO, what soundtrack is that? it's 100% world of warcraft, sounds specifically like ICC or WotlK please tell me exact name, someone, anyone, Winter? i'd love to get a reply from you

[@drewskiwest5284]

we ALLLLLLLLLL know you wanna call him "dark daddy" everytime he comes up lmao

[@Unformed8]

35:26 - I... I need context, I need to comprehend what these "otherwise" are if they are not alive...

[@enriquegarciacota3914]

I see Swarm Hosts, I like.

[@ryder8646]

dark makes the game look very fun meanwhile when I play I have my hands full just trying not to float a million resources

[@dcrouch26]

Game 1 so Pog

[@drewskiwest5284]

17:04 DADDY DARK FTW! WOOO

[@thebooshismighty1]

ty for casting in 2024

[@TysonDylan0]

You know what? I do prefer Daddy Dark, or Double D if you will

[@ElkaPME]

idk about double d bc disruptor and dt already have taken that the double ds of destruction

[@Mantwawn]

yea buddy

[@unclenchasbestos]

So ... cyclones are ... um.... bad? against ultras? Maybe? Lol i watched that game carefully and im not sure. But i think so? These had no armor upgrade, right? Plating would make them (ultras) incredible against it (mass cyclone?) But they're still decent without? Is that right?

[@FlokiTech]

Seems like they nerfed the cyclone into the ground in the last patch. This is why we almost never get to see mech, they just nerf it every time it becomes viable.

[@hivetech4903]

Ultras did have Chitinous plating & carapace upgrades in Game 1. The Cyclones weren't super strong but not bad i.e. much better than Marines as they not only do more damage, but can kite from further away without having to lose health to Stim. Although its not a great comparison because Bio & Mech are totally different comps.

[@samuelfraser8922]

The real question is, is Jimmy a real person?

[@griefgaming2787]

Does Dark have a yt channel? I'd love to congratulate him on his new zergling

Ultras+Locust… nobody other than Dark would ever do that… and Win

[@The669slayer]

idk if you do any c&c games but between you and sybert i get enough commentary that im good until football season comes back around. you and sybert should come together for some games

[@mateobadajoz]

First 0:45 and I'm thinking this guys a mental issue, and so do I for watching it XDDD

[@entrerifpv4934]

Wintersc is the best i watch every video twice

[@ElysaraCh]

it feels SO good that the capital ships - Carriers and Cattlebruisers - are ACTUALLY top-tier endgame units now, both of which being "be prepared with a scouted counter or get ready for heavy losses" class of unit. They SHOULD be worth the investment it takes to get them.

[@JackSparrow-gn1zn]

Swarm Host, Ultralisk is such a Dark build

[@ironmonkey1512]

Game 2 was pure Dark

[@marionicolais3024]

Ban-CHEESE!!! Can't believe that wasn't in the title ...

[@DuckTape12]

Amazin.

[@joshmartin5537]

More like Ban-Cheese! Alright. That was a good one 😂

[@samwellcirilo6486]

Love the tvp

[@TheDantsu]

GG

[@bertbauer2631]

Did he call his wife a spawning pool? XD

[@jaredmcintosh2041]

dark games are always the best watches

[@AZ3rgling]

The Dark Father 😂

[@geaskadosh]

uthermals penguin brothers? thumbs up!!!
