Like Charles Darwin stated about 150 years ago: "it is not the strongest of the species that survives, but the one that builds the most Adepts"

[@wlangstroth]

Classic Darwin.

[@Cephalopopo]

Dude Charles was such a D back then. He used to troll our lan parties with that trash all the time, the worst was when he would go chest bump with the boys.

[@gondolapirate1609]

the Law of natural selection~

[@Fraggii123]

haha a good one ! :)

[@anniedarkheart5224]

The most adeptable species

[@TheGImp1214]

I dont think i've ever seen dark get 3-0d in my life. How did classic show up like this

[@christianmathew398]

@TheGImp1214-Zest didn't like how bad Protoss were doing while he's in the military so he loaned Classic his adepts 😁

[@LiveGoDaYDaYs]

yeah 3 under half hour

[@PJOZeus]

Sometimes happened in smaller tournaments or like weeklys or something but yeah this was odd

[@LeCheckmate]

Classic stopped going for the science victory and instead decided to just fucking kill his opponents

[@jeffreyrook8073]

That series was just rude frankly.

[@christianmathew398]

Zest is like an apex predator removed from the environment so long that the other players forgot how dangerous his Adept timings were

[@Buddha2723]

Starcraft will never die, brother

[@jebediah4780]

It already has my friend, and David Kim killed it.

[@razorback9999able]

Come back in 2030 to prove that StarCraft never dies.

[@lifegiver33]

RTS is dead, long live RTS

[@CmdrChar]

"you smell what Classic's cooking, the Aiur chef is here" great stuff and glad to hear you're doing well on YT!

[@obviouslyohno]

"this will be my last year of casting" 😱😱😱 I wasn't paying attention and hat to rewind 3 times 😂 Will it be the most replayed section of the video? 🤷 Edit: did I mention this is still some of the absolute best content on KZbin? It's like an extremely long TV show with infinite seasons 😂 my favorite character is Susan

[@dennisv8922]

Agree! I have to admit I usually have him on the background while I'm eating or doing something else so not fully paying attention. When he said that I was what noooooo... had to rewind too. Brenda is my favorite character, may she fly again someday

[@OnyxOrca]

I read this comment and my stomach SUNK. I was panicking, trying to figure out the context 😭

[@rosco3]

Not just a 3x0, it's a 3x0 with the SAME strategy in all 3 games. That is damn impressive

[@Hellafast2uDude]

Just prooves toss imbalance, especially last game.

[@rosco3]

@@Hellafast2uDude just no... dark failed to adapt and Classic perfected the timing

[@Hellafast2uDude]

@@rosco3 lol, if the player that top skill cant adapt for 2-3 games, what it will be in ladder with this shi?

[@geuros]

​@@Hellafast2uDude toss is broken, stats say otherwise - but that's because there are exactly 2 great players for the race and one of them doesn't play offline tournaments lol...

[@forsterjurgen]

​@@Hellafast2uDude bro how many times have you seen a protoss beat serral?

[@iang3728]

Winter, I love how consistently you produce videos. Every evening, when I'm winding down, I prefer to watch your latest video rather than anything else I could be doing. This past years' success was completely earned and deserved. Kudos.

[@obviouslyohno]

This man tells the truth

[@DSzaks]

OMG this is the happiest watching a game of SC2 has ever made me. I was laughing out loud the entire stream watching those zerg boys running in circles. Forget Nightmare and Maxpax. Classic is now my new favorite protoss.

[@mikefunk387]

The PvZ masterclass right here. Not even needing recall against Solar, but knowing he has a plan if the Z response is a little better; adding stasis and forcefield to compound the issue and tie off the opener. *chefs kiss*

[@AgentLoki86]

Dark thinking well surely he won't do it again, Classic says "hold my probe"

[@okachobe1]

You've been killing it on KZbin! I used to watch your streams on twitch but I don't frequent twitch anymore :(.

[@MrVeryfrost]

There are too many commercials on Twitch. GDQ puts commercials every 10 minutes. Unless you are suber then Twitch is unwatchable.

[@odetoazam]

why did u stop

[@okachobe1]

@@odetoazam it was around the time where twitch prime didnt mean ad free and I'd have to pay per streamer to go ad free, but I looked recently they have an ad free plan again so maybe I'll look again but haven't been interested

[@andrewmillian6959]

I'd say that Dark's main mistake in the second game was feeding too many zerglings to adepts in the early game. There were a couple of small ling counter attacks that just ran into a wall of adepts and immediately died for nothing. Usually that wouldn't matter much but losing two dozen lings right before you get hit in the face with an adept timing really compounded the damage Edit: Specifically around 17:10 on the video you can see around 20 zerglings wandering into the main protoss army and dying right before the big attack. I wouldn't go far as to say that that cost him the game as he was already behind but that probably sealed the deal.

[@orangepearlf40]

spamming zerglings for defense to get 70 + drones in 5 seconds didn't work this time. It forces roaches which are then countered by sentry/immortal. A hard counter right from the get go.

[@WolfgangGaming-xq5rm]

What you’re telling me is that the answer is… Mutalisks?

[@orangepearlf40]

@WolfgangGaming-xq5rm zerg must somehow be the aggressor to disrupt the adept timing. 12 pool? Proxy hatch, quick banes. Not my problem. Back to the drawing board zergs...

[@Leonhart_93]

That's because spamming ligs and drones always works out for him vs protoss, since they tend to overbuild stalkers. Well, not this time.

[@wmzer0mw]

@@WolfgangGaming-xq5rm nah, roaches would work. Dark just needed to scout it sooner and recognize it. Dark didnt. He also didnt take it seriously when he knew he didnt have enough units. He shoulda kept the wall up. He got greedy

[@DMArmada]

1:09 Im a big fan of numbers going up, and im also a big fan of this channel.

[@chevbob]

I've wathed this vid 3 times now. It's just amazing to watch Dark get pulled apart so comprehensively, especially coming after his victory over Maru. Hard to believe!

[@pergierke9627]

Petition for Serral vs Classic

[@nmgaro2156]

we will be here supporting you for as long as you decide to keep doing it. keep it up with the good work, and specially, the passion you put on every video

[@Cellus5000]

Congrats on a year

[@Cephalopopo]

Ty winter and classic to remind us all of the classic slayer of zerg the one that just walked up their main ramp and would kill em at minute 8, the legendary mister Z.est.

[@TheRecurrence]

This was an absolute slaughter. Super impressed.

[@sevreal4]

I hope next game introduction ft. Classic we get a "The best player in the world according to Dark... it is of course: Classic"

[@jkkim6928]

It’s purported that Dark’s gg timing in the first game was delayed because he needed storm showers to cool him off in the sweltering sun

[@craigsafford9737]

What Winter doesnt realize it wasnt the begging for likes and subscribes. It was the invention of brenda in every zerg game that was the win

[@Daniel-rd6st]

Nah, it was when he hired Jimmy ;-)

[@biingaling]

I think I was hooked by "Brenda!!" as well. I enjoy his humor a lot. I usually never comment or like content on KZbin but now I like every WinterStarcraft video I watch.

[@jonavery4978]

I laugh every time at the "You can't explain that" reference.

[@kylep.3729]

Ill never cringe at winter asking for likes and subs because you are keeping one of my all time favorite games alive with your hard work! You are my favorite caster of any game out there!

[@Leonhart_93]

Wow, to see all the top zergs so unprepared and not expecting at all the adept shade.

[@marinav3905]

Silly Jimmy, you'd have to be on payroll to get a raise. Now back to the basement!

[@kyleg5141]

I started watching you on twitch before I had a PC and in 2016 I finally was able to get one and play sc2. Thank you for the inspiration and I am glad to see you doing well.

[@Tary88]

This build is mint with the recall and force fields added in.

[@jonnozomboid2649]

Awesome to learn it is your most successful year mate. You always brighten my day! I just don't have enough hours in most days to chill the F out and watch highly skilled and intelligent maniacs harass one and other to radiant and sublime commentary...

[@bigtruck1838]

Always watch your videos when im doing cardio at the gym, your casting is "chef's kiss"

[@ferjavm]

I laugh hard everytime Winter says "is a disaster", I dont know why xD

[@justinpeterson7246]

It wasn't only his strategy, Classic was playing at absolute top-tier level. Masterful control, timing, responses, and execution across the board. I've seen him play so horribly, I wonder how he makes it into the GSL. This was not that.

[@Zulu4impi]

👀👽👀 💥🥶💥 Cheers Jimmy..... Cheers Winter Even Lowko is giving Jimmy props 👍

[@bt920]

Haha i saw that too! I thought he was just copying Winter

[@antoinefroidevaux]

He was even insinuating that Jimmy wasn't a real person

[@spocr6856]

You made me love this game

[@silfvro1963]

Man Winters lines are legendary, I love it

[@chemonized]

jeez that was crazy well played by Classic

[@cheefnugz7798]

Winter! a year big dog!!! LETS GO!!! 10/10 pro-sc2 watching enjoyer but your commentary is the reason I hold on as the horrors persist

[@metarmored]

I love your content, man.. Last week your videos made realise starcraft is really fun, and I tryied it myself for the first time, now I can't stop thinking about it. I Had a Blast! Your videos are so entretaining, I love the queens, Keep it coming!

[@Tarce3000]

41:50 Winter reaction concludes everything in this cast 🤣

[@FinoClips]

Adept glade is going to get nerfed...😪

[@anonymityismyname]

42min of glaives just destroying zerg :O

[@zapoyou2]

I hope both you and lowko never stop asking for the likes.

[@christopherdimarco5914]

That GG timing in game 5 is the hardest I've laughed all week

I've never seen Dark get swept so hard, that was outstanding.

Congrats on the great year Winter! Here's to many more too come ....cause I don't know what else you'd do with your life :P

[@insightactual1098]

AWESOME!

[@LMEthan]

thanks for the video, i watch you every day!

[@QuadG]

Started following you about a year ago after a ten year break from StarCraft. Love the commentary, but I really think you should consider giving Jimmy a raise considering all the careful calculations he has to do each time!

[@926km]

"where is dark? you can't see him cuz there's too much shade"

[@Scynn]

Just go and hit them. A Classic Tactic. Amazing games! Just no survivors left. You're favorite caster Winter. Love how much entertainment you put into the casting with the various characters and bits while being informative! Takes a lot of juggling to pull off what you do and it's damn well appreciated.

[@lwshien]

Honestly, love the twist with the timer -- I thought Dark would turn it around ... but plot twist

[@Gustavo-ui2bi]

First game was a Protoss masterclass

[@jameswhitmore1984]

I appreciate you Winter. You make my days better and am glad others are enjoying your videos too. 🎆👍💯🥰

[@lightdx7008]

Classic está aplastó a Solar dos veces en menos de siete minutos. Y a Dark en 11. Es aterrador lo bien que ha pulido su juego. Y no necesita cambiarle nada, porque ya está perfecto.

[@GameFuMaster]

always wondered why Protoss didn't use more glaive adepts, since they start doing decent damage against non-lights and their shade ability forces the enemy to split

[@leafykille]

Happy birthday? Not sure what to call it, but a years worth of these new style videos deserves some sort of recognition. Thanks winter :)

[@zandertraveler2083]

You’re a legend, please keep casting games!

[@Bourkes15]

I've seen the Chintoss before but it got me good this time.

[@TheZealo]

Jesus Christ, I've never seen Dark get rolled like that. Damn

[@NotRealNamesAgain]

@7:23 I've watched hours and hours and hours of these casts of all these fantastic pros, used to watch tons of Day9 and still watch You and Lowko every day, and I've never, (not ONCE) ever noticed an overseer activating "Oversight" before. What the hell is wrong with me I went on a 5 minute tangent of WTF IS THAT WTF WAS THAT just now.

[@JHtx991]

so satisfying 😮

[@Warmolt48]

gotta love the titles :)

Would like to see how Serral deals with the adepts.

Keep it going. Thanks for the this nice cast service. I hate when zerg loses.. but this was a very nice strat by classic
