Its never a dull affair when Dark is involved. That man makes a show out of every one of his matches. Serral is the undisputed GOAT of modern day SC2 and I watch his matches wondering if anybody has the skill to "take him down this time". For Dark matches, on the other hand...its a matter of "it doesnt matter who wins or loses -- this is going to be fun to watch". Your commentaries only add to the enjoyment, Winter. Cheers o/

[@IRdatank]

I started watching SC2 back in early WoL. Winter is hands down the best caster in the world. Others do some things better. In total, no one is as good at this.

there are many reasons i love winter as a caster, but one is certainly that he seems to be the only one who can admit the ghost is in a silly place right now

Dark forgot +3 melee in the second game for the entire match.

[@famouscharactersplay4298]

I don't know much of anything about starcraft 2, but I still watch these when dark gets on. I dunno if i ever played this game I feel like I"d be a zerg player. But I did watch some coaching abotu zergs a few times. I think about that coaching guy who does the Starcraft2 guides to Grandmaster with Zerg and all the commentary in my head is, "Inject, Inject, Innject, build drones/roaches. Control A past them and watch them die." Anyone else or is that just me?

[@robertr.hasspacher7731]

It's always a Dark Winter around these parts, and I couldn't be more enthusiastic

[@SorryMyNameWasTaken]

If I was terran and I saw that number of swarm hosts and the damage they were causing to my fortified defenses of siege tank and plantary, I'd have quickly transitioned into battlecruiser and ravens. Battlecruisers can one shot yamato snipe the swarmhosts, and defend effectively against them as they fly, ravens can also fly through the swarm to drop turrets around the swarm host mass, trapping and detecting them if they try and burrow (ofcourse scans work for detection as well). Also battlecruisers can tactically jump into the swarm hosts defensive location behind the line, while marine, marauders, and tanks push the front against the more traditional ground army mix of the zerg. I think terran could have won if he made the transition to Cruisers after the first or second swarm wave. The resources lost were worth the value of fusion core and even air armor and attack upgrades!

[@thiesomatix]

Hi, retuning to SC2 after leaving sometime during the Heart of the Swarm Era. Glad to see there is still a peofessional scene! In the beginning of the video, the player portraits have perks (such as roqches being able to crit)- what's up with that? Is that just a thing WinterSc2 is adding or can you actually choose perks like that in SC2 matches now? Thanks!

[@SkadadeLjud]

Nah it's just for fun for the videos and nothing serious about it :)

[@sirtalkalotdoolittle]

The culinary descriptors now have me wondering which zerg I would prefer to eat. I'm thinking Ultralisks.

[@kathorsees]

If you're thinking steak - def go with the Ultralisk, just look at those juicy behinds. For the premium cuts, you want your young, pre-upgrade Ultras: the speed upgrade makes them too muscly and hard to chew; carapace is basically inedible, and when it gets too thick, it traps in a lot of the musk, so the meat develops a certain... odor. Though, of course, some Korhal gourmets swear by it and always order their Ultrasteaks "with the whiff". For your leaner meats, you'll want to go with Mutas or Broods. Mutas are basically like wild fowl: muscular and tough, so a bit of a challenge for most home cooks. Broods, however, are fattier and thus a lot easier to not overcook (think chicken thighs). By the by, you'd think Corruptors were in the same category, but you'd be wrong! When grilled, their hind tentacles taste just like jumbo squid, while the main shell hides a soft, salty mass not unlike a mussel. Goes best with some lemon and white wine.

[@majormajorasic]

@@kathorsees Hydralisks for everything, Ultralisks are so big their meat would be too tough from handling that carapace weight, meanwhile hydras are medium sized and packed full of meat.

@@jeffreyrook8073 correction of obvious error without berating or belittling, is appropriate. Lots of viewers get SCVs, Probes, and Drones mixed up.

Please do not abuse it. :) EXCELLENT MATCH. I was really rooting for (spoiler) . . . . . . . . . - Byun to win. He did an INCREDIBLE JOB coming back in game 2, and I'd really hoped he would ve able to do it again in game 3, but... It seems that it wasn't meant to be.

[@shotpulehod]

Byun vs Dark games are all cinematics

[@matt455]

I trust you WinterStarcraft. I'll watch the video.

[@BulDurham]

Blizzard should just make a new terran unit that costs 1gas and 1 mineral, kills everything with one shot, cloaks, teleports, burrows, flies, and can't be countered by anything.

[@Twiixq]

Well even if we all agree that ghost are strong, byun still lost 2 to 1, and the one he won was vs a weird strat... So "maybe" late game terran entirely depend on ghost, and if they nerf it maybe tvz will become completly unplayble for Terran.

[@djdoc06]

Ghosts aren’t OP. They are spellcasters that don’t fly, and require insanely good micromanagement to be an effective late game unit. Without intense micro attention, they’re just beefed up marines. And while you’re doing all that micro and dropping, hot pickup, stutter stepping and sniping to maximize efficiency, your opponent is just a-moving zealots or DTs or banelings & zerglings to harrass your random expansions, and able to focus much more attention than you to their macro, and finish with 10x your bank. You see Byun lose his games because he’s out resourced. He kills more efficiently, but this comes at a cost.

[@BigLeafyTree]

@@djdoc06They’re long range spellcasters that are surprisingly beefy due to not counting as light. They can also just turn invisible and walk backwards with medivac support for healing or flying away in a pinch, and charging through Terran lines to try to get at ghosts is a great way to lose all your stuff. Against Zerg at least, there’s not really any kind of straightforward answer that isn’t reliant on the Terran player making big mistakes because scans make sure it’s extremely difficult to do things without Terran having perfect information. A unit that kinda beats everything unless you make a mistake is lame, and I don’t think ghosts are really dancing on a knife’s edge to pull it off.

[@djdoc06]

@@BigLeafyTree it’s impossible to manage more than a couple ghosts without making mistakes. And any units that cloak requiring enerfy has to be micromanaged in that alone. Meanwhile other guy is rolling zealots into your expansions, and building multiple expansions while you micromanage two ghosts? Those ghosts vs lurkers is all Byun at his level, but at most levels a bunch of lurkers mixed with melee units will roll over your ghosts and bio. How man ghosts do you think lesser players can micromanage and still be doing the other more important things?

[@BulDurham]

@@djdoc06 It's not relevant what lesser players can do, balance should be evaluated at the top level where skill is maximized. And at the top levels it's pretty clear all a Terran needs to do is make a dozen ghosts no matter what his opponent does.

[@thirdworldrider6991]

[@Alloran]

Okay, I'm watching game one, and I can't figure it out. Why can Byun get no pressure or map presence with stim/combat a double drop of 1/1 marines with stim/combat and three hellions, against a zerg rushing hive with four bases and 74 drones? What is Terran doing wrong here, that Zerg feels so little pressure? Edit: Finished game one and am now super confused. I need somebody like Harstem to explain this to me. To preface this next part, I am not Byun, therefore I do not know how to play starcraft better than Byun, but, given the complete lack of Zerg aggression, the fact that Terran floated 400 gas for over 30 seconds with an armory finished, wasn't he just half a minute late on 2/2? And the double drop isn't just 20 seconds late, it's coming without any kind of pressure by the hellions along the front, no pre scans, no teeth at all. In fact, in a very un Byun like fashion, there's virtually no pressure at all on the zerg until after hive tech has already kicked in. What is his build supposed to be doing? I don't think I've ever seen a more passive game from this Terran, and it seems like a very bad idea to let Dark do whatever he wants for 10 minutes.
