[@WinterStarcraft]

ANNOUNCED LITERALLY YESTERDAY (disregard my sad comments about Dark's last tournament): Dark been able to delay his service and has been picked up by a new team Talon Esports (he had a lot of offers) and is able to play throughout 2024! He will be playing in all major tournaments and probably every weekly tournament offering $14 and a firm handshake. The content will continue!

[@jennifer_dreamzzz]

Great news!

[@ParanoidxProd]

God is good, God is great!

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

That's great news! I am looking forward to seeing what he can accomplish and Katowice, and throughout 2024!

[@GoldenArbiter01]

Forcing Dark to do military service should be listed as a warcrime. Like the greatest fighter aces of WW2, he should be kept back in reserve, in order to bolster the morale of the people.

"It's not about being cost-effective, it's about being effective." Dang man, wise words. I think being obsessed with numbers games makes us forget this.

[@perrycarters3113]

Cost-effective is the long game, effective is the short game. If I lose 2x as many resources as your army and main are worth, but I wipe out your army and destroy your main, I'm probably happy with that trade.

[@Bananskuden]

Just like AlphaGo figuring out that winning by a single point is enough, or Italian soccer teams shutting down the game after 1-0. No need to optimize numbers that don't count towards victory.

[@mickdavies396]

Winter is so clearly the most entertaining SC2 caster in this business. He's profoundly clever and witty. I wish him all the success.

You really restrained yourself not to name this a series of the year, didn't you? We respect that.

Nice pun 😊

[@Unlychosis]

I hadn't watched Starcarft 2 since Total Biscuit passed away because I hadn't found anyone else who could be as entertaining when casting. I found your channel and now I've been watching again every day, that's because of your color commentary and personality. If you want to add more technicality that is fine but keep in mind there are plenty of technical players/streamers but there are far fewer who figure out how to make it entertaining.

[@CrazedGamer117]

Or husky starceaft

[@TheZealo]

No matter how many times I get reminded that Dark ranked himself #1 it always makes me happy lol

[@daledadolphin]

In your last video I actually wondered if you were trying to explain more or not as I did notice it. I have watched a lot of your vids but I’ve never played StarCraft and you explaining stuff is actually super helpful. Even if I know most of the basics now, your context always helps put things together

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

I don't think I've ever seen a more effective or well-timed Zergling run-by than game 7, what a knock-out punch. Wishing both of these players good luck in next week's star-studded, 4 day weekend extravaganza.

[@BrunsonMoody1]

Thanks for making my day just a little bit better.

[@Phoenix-zu6on]

i feel like, whereas other players run out of steam the longer a series progresses, Dark gets better. if hes falling behind, its like a cornered animal ramping up the aggression, if hes ahead, like a master swordsman honing in on his enemies weakness with each strike.

[@michaeldoucet-morokael]

Single-cannonedly? You, sir, are a true master of the language. Never change

[@WinterStarcraft]

I want to mention when I say best series, I mean FULL series, not just one highlight game. Both players play a TRUE best of 7, feels like they are playing each other directly more than Terran vs Zerg. The mindgames and emotional damage are absolutely real. IF you don't have the time for the entire match (it's worth it but still) I at least recommend the last two games especially - spoiler free timestamp below: 47:15 for some absolutely cinematic games thanks for watching, you're breathtaking

[@mirascael]

Do these annoying clickbait titles really help your channel in the long run? I personally regard them as insults to your viewers (and therefore also my) intelligence.

[@SD-jf7nb]

Best I've ever seen Dark, his biles were a bit off his usual, but everything else ticking like a clock! Liked so I can see another if these two show up at Katowice!

[@Daniel-rd6st]

[@squidofwata]

this is the best Starcraft cast ive ever watched in my entire life

[@tori5111]

oh my gosh, that was a great series, but that last game was peak starcraft, i have never seen anything like it ! thank you for your diligence winter on covering so much starcraft, it does make my days better, i know i always have a fun watch in store for when i feel down 👌

[@JackSparrow-gn1zn]

Dark saw there was no wall on the ramp in that game 5 and that was all he needed, he was already spending the victory money in his head

[@WiseWik]

holy shit, that last fight in game 6 was incredible!

[@R1po]

Baiting him with the Spire to produce Marines and then going Roaches was a nice move. His reconnaissance before 8:55 could've been better and his targeting with the Ravagers was bad. But a nice first game.

[@Minstrel1]

I always get a nice laugh during Darks announcement

[@kjwong4730]

Thanks for casting these pro games. Very enjoyable to watch’s. The commentary is awesome, funny and sarcastic at times, which I love. Keep up the great work

[@psychaoticproductions3994]

Longer video, Bo7, Maru vs Dark. Oh boy oh boy, we love you winter

[@Catharsis-lu5xr]

What a game. Between Maru and Clem, I can't decide who I enjoy more.

[@peterk2735]

Thanks for explaining more. I haven’t played competitive SC since 2015 and I don’t watch too many games, so the extra insight is appreciated!

[@BlitzAngel808]

The lack of a Raven always seems to bite Terran players in the ass 100%.

[@yugonostalgia8961]

The masterful muta bait & switch in game 1, Maru's proxy mindgames in game 2, Dark's decisive timings, Maru sniping ZERGLINGS in game 6... already so good

[@curtisbrown2281]

The game of the year of game of the years!

[@somafiles]

These commercials I get before the video give me brain damage

[@CrimsonA1]

Dark earning that much money before reaching adulthood by playing games has to be the biggest flex on video-game haters I've ever heard of.

[@verdtre4573]

"He's like a sumo wrestler" "the sheer biomass of Dark" Are you calling Dark fat?

[@fredericbouchardwong4596]

I am going to miss Dark so much too. Just my favorite player of all time. Him and Rogue are my two favorites!!!

[@elgar7252]

Now we can cite Game 5 whenever Zerg's cope at Terrans and Protoss for spamming Marines and Zealots. 100 Zerglings in Maru's base and an army at the front still able to stop Maru's from counter pushing despite taking a massive Macro loss in all his queens for larvae injecting. Sure, Zerg is fine.

[@visceraljourney]

The last game was just jaw-dropping!

[@ridiculousruke]

7 banes for a single Ghost? You gotta be kidding me. Feels they are worth their money even without spells since they are so good in combat.

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

Heavy tank line wit ha forward marine to utlize taht 13 range, and 5 range of marines... gives a 7 range difference meaning the tanks can be out of bile, if the marines have to retreat, you unsiege, by the time the biles can fire they can drive forward and ahve incredible dps and throw in a two scvs to repair, its a force ot be reckoned with

[@balysatm379]

Honestly, Maru and Serral and the other ESports Pros being in it for the money is very understandable. I mean in essence these people play Starcraft like Football World Cup players play their sport, it's quite litterally their job to play and they get payed for it. Like I don't think Maru has a "Job" besides playing Starcraft professionally.

That last game was bad. Maru was overhimself.

[@AndresSalas123]

I think Zealots should have a late-game upgrade, so they do splash damage, (like Hellions). Something like "long blades" upgrade.

[@M0ebius]

Yeah or at least bring back the charge damage on impact, except make it an additional upgrade or something.

[@AndresSalas123]

Yea @@M0ebius Zealots have "adreno grands" and Marines have the "medivac speed". Protos should have something for zealots, for the late game.

[@SD-jf7nb]

Uh, like charge really fast at their enemies? Or maybe they could tactical jump, or just warp in or something, that would be fun!

[@MrMeset666]

[@craigsafford9737]

Why was this even a thing everyone knows Maru has been washed up and is irrelivant now

[@naimanpunk]

Terran mech is the shittiest unit to ever existed. they're high cost, slow build, low mobility and easily kite in a fight..the only useful mech is hellion and to just break drones..marine, maraudaers, medivac and bc is the backbone of terran..you can add raven for chito's dust against zerg or ghost for emp against protoss..but this four unit can easily wipe any composition if they work together..BC breaking the ground unit..marine breaking the sky unit and marauders for soaking damage
