At 26:16 when the hydra waddles up to take out the Thor and winter says ‘Big job, huh’ is one of the funniest moments ever for me

[@MusicGodAndMyLaptop]

Excellent comment.

[@PashaSlavaUkraine]

Lmao

[@peterjung956]

Dark: how long are you gonna use this strat? Byun: Till I win

[@SoulWhite]

Came here to comment this. Ah I see, a man of culture, as well.

[@RN_Dreemurr]

Byan putting his money where his mouth is with this reply xD

[@jesseweber5318]

He made no joke and pulled no punches

[@jakebrewable]

I like to imagine that Dark is more like a circus clown juggling chainsaws to counter Serral's scalpel like precision

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

Dark definitely gives off the "Chainsaw Surgeon" vibes, for sure. Actually that sounds like a hilarious premise for a goofy indie game

[@AXharoth]

how many types of clowns there is?

[@glados4765]

Breaker of wrists. Rightful king of the Reapers and the First Marines. Heir to the micro throne. Protector of the ladder... ByuN!

[@bobby4tw]

"Micro Jacksson" 🤣

[@jlokyo180]

I'm noticing a theme here. Most of the games you've tagged as impressive or amazing in the past 3 months have featured Dark. After watching a few BO3's and BO5's, I can see why. DARK is purely and simply fun to watch, exciting as a meta-disruptor and out of the box thinker.

[@DustinHorvath1987]

Winter just looking around the map at 29:20 going "Huh. Huh. Huh." trying to take in all the lunacy lol.

[@henryviiifake8244]

45:21 "Everybody wants to Micro like ByuN, but they really should be trying to Macro like Cure" #Facts

[@loudaccord]

That game made me realize why I don't really play much. I will never be that good and it's more entertaining to watch them than it is for me to actually play

[@Icytouched1337]

I'll never tire watching these two. Never a dull moment with them on cast.

[@kenhorn4327]

Intense! Starcraft with these two players and caster make for an intense, never boring confrontation that defines Starcraft as something worth watching 👀 in its cinematic quality of drama!

[@AXharoth]

i never seen anything like this , crazy strats

[@HyperFocusMarshmallow]

How to pronounce Jönköping for SCII players. ”Jön-” sounds like Byun without the B. The k is a ch sound like in chips. The second ö is slightly different. The closest sound in english is probably like the i in bird. And then ping is just ping. Recap: Byun without a beginning B, eats chips with only the beginning ch, drops all over the main with the I of a bird and wins even though he has a lot of ping. (B)yun-ch-(b)i(rd)-ping.

[@mammaspojke9813]

9:57 "that's a huge recruiting bonus" lol

[@yugonostalgia8961]

Game one is probably the best ZvT that has ever been played. Not even exaggerating for once that infestor control vs mass orbitals.... damn

[@Dahbidah77]

Looks like game of the year is BACK on the menu!

[@mordeth999]

I am always so hype to see EITHER of these names. Seeing them heads up makes my week.

[@michaelm.2882]

"this joke is not landing, but the orbital is..." Damn you got good at this!

[@Talentaire]

That first game was indeed one of the very best ever.

[@Scynn]

This has replaced price is right while feeling garbo. Thanks for the great cast winter. That medivac steal was amazing in game 1. Love the insanity these two bring to games.

[@MusicGodAndMyLaptop]

I just love the consistency of Winter. I know Harstem is a good content creator too, but thats more from a players perspective. I respect sticking to casting, and finding these great replays and casting them with the same great style. Gotta give it to you Winter, you win my SC2 views.

[@e7venjedi]

37:27 "The drones are getting awaaaaay!!!" *TRANSFORMERS*

[@Ayanamiii]

How to counter the cost effectiveness of a terran army? Dark: Just make them kill themselves >:)

[@jamesgeorge1894]

Winter, it’s been years since I looked at a StarCraft game, let alone touched one. Although your hairline receded, your humor advanced. Brenda, Jimmy, it brought me all back to happier times. Frankly I wish this game grew more because your channel is still fantastic and in most genres would have 1 mill subs. Take care and thanks for the memories.

[@gushlergushler]

All hail to our illustrious derpfestor.

[@Burred11]

27:00 Byun had lost nearly as many ghosts as Marines. How? How does he do?

[@mikehebert71]

The fear of infestors/scared of ghosts line thing was f****** hilarious XD❤

[@e7venjedi]

32:24 Oh man that burninating reference!! Bringing me back with that one. Not many of the younger viewers gonna know that one methinks! :D [unless I missed a comeback of the ancient meme?...]

[@evanmurphy9965]

"MULES" the motion picture.

[@strongerandwiser2023]

Terran are so difficult to break. I was gutted Dark lost that 1st game. He did so well against the turtle.

[@zergstirfry]

My bf is a night owl and struggles to get to sleep but he always says your videos always come out at the perfect time to watch in bed 😅❤️

@@Epicwin-bn1hi haha nice. I hate those bots!! looks like yt removed the comment so good job reporting. They are so annoying!

[@aquagrunty101]

Same here, Winters voice is perfect to fall asleep to. It really helps me a lot!

[@evshrug]

I have a real problem falling asleep because watching my phone or tablet keeps me up, and there’s always more Winter content to watch 😅 But that’s more of a self control problem than Winter’s fault, but what I’m saying is Winter doesn’t put me to sleep.

[@fococat]

What a first match. I am in complete awe. I'll take my bronze butt back to just playing co-op.

[@hexaquras9374]

Dark is definitely the goal where you're so good at the game you can just do what you want and get away with it

[@stalwart56k]

This was a great series and I loved your cast Winter!

[@DarylMetzler]

Holy smokes. Game 1 was way more interactive than Reynor v Spirit! GG WP!

[@scottevensen2615]

That first game looked exhausting! No wonder the 2nd was so quick.

[@MusicGodAndMyLaptop]

1:33 I love these history flavor comments. Makes me wanna watch those series. There really should be more recasts of historic games. I find myself coming back to that old Scarlett/Bomber game with the most dramatic finale in modern history.

[@kyrreengelberg8728]

That was the game of the year

[@TheMHB199]

Oh my god. Thank you dark for proving my 'twitch chat strategy'. Sick of all the zergs whining about ghosts and leaving comments when people have been trying to counter 20-30 ghosts with 2 vipers and 2 infestors. Make 20 infestors yourself! Spellcasters reign supreme in the late game. It's just that simple.

[@roro2.00]

For game one I think dark needed to start punching earlier when he was maxed out and had a bank, start chipping away at byun and remaxing. Great game!

[@Epicwin-bn1hi]

True.

[@adamkopchinski8836]

I've always been a fan of your casts. I like the memes, the late night sponsor commercials promoting winter and the hypothetical thought process of the legends you cast. Haha I want to see a tournament of the pros where they all play off race. We know reynor isn't afraid to play off race in a pro tournament but I would love to see who the real goat is especially if maru wins with zerg or dark with Terran. Make it happen winter!

[@misko272]

That whole game is literally Dark going "wait you don't have liberators". Byun throwing around double digit ghosts and at best a handful of libs at a moment, and rarely for long. Like that game would have been so over so much more quickly if Byun had been willing to make Libs, but instead we degenerated into some weird state where the Terran was overwhelming the Zerg with units and trying to at least stay even, while relying on simply mining more than the enemy and denying bases.

[@theeternalcrusader4758]

Game 1: The War In Heaven between 2 Titans that will be recited in the histories to come Game 2: a Punch in the mouth

[@glados4765]

I can't remember who said it but a pro player many years ago said jokingly when a Terran gets to 7+ orbitals they win. It may have been Idra.

[@DrownedInExile]

That first match was insane! Somewhere in the galaxy, Dark Archons are thinking of suing Infestors for copyright infringement.

[@robert-asdf]

crazy 1st game. all that infighting and it didn't stop there. I might actually watch that one again.

[@WolfGangDealers]

I need a compilation of games of the year for this year so we can officially declare the game of the year. That would be great.

[@Chris-si9in]

21:40 hahahah that Freudian slip

[@RoketNek]

Is funny how the term "a handful of marines" for ByuN is more like "a deadly group of marines"

[@jkninja9204]

25:11 what is the little metal gear solid box doing by the spine crawler?? i've never seen that

[@jkninja9204]

ok i've seen like 4 of them now.. im assuming its just part of the map

[@sirtalkalotdoolittle]

"Use it until I win" is the equivalent of telling someone you could care less. It doesn't mean what you think it does.

[@rabbitcreative]

I think saying "threatened unless serves in military" more accurately describes the situation than "obligatory service".

[@dalriada]

I’ve never seen a Terran player handle a late stage Zerg opponent so well. Byun is a wounded genius.

[@general_armstrong]

if they kill your ghost build more ghost

[@Gredddfe]

Looks like infestors when micro'd properly might challenge mass ghost. I look forward to reduced fungal damage and shorter neural in the next patch.

[@AZ3rgling]

Dark vs Byun Christmas came early boys!

[@tacticianmatt3791]

Dark is built hella different

[@RYXPfan]

Game 1 already looked like the most confusing, epic starcraft madness I've seen

[@TheRaknor]

thanks for this, amazing moment !

[@tind9908]

You don't need anti air if the enemies Thors are yours

[@helmutalexanderrubiowilson6835]

Damn... Dark finally achieved Ultrainstic mode

[@Callmecomfies]

incredible match!

[@bongkem2723]

i can easily beat both Byun and Dark...in triathlon, these 2 mofos probably never leave their gaming chair. Game of the year for sure, love it !!!!

[@KennethOBrien-i6y]

Man I was doubtful when I saw that title but that was one of the most nuts games I've ever seen

[@brainjam7996]

cant wait till terrans start wining about ghosts

[@josephbraun7984]

I'm assuming that would have been about the first pro game where more Ghosts and Hellbats died than Marines.

[@AgatAscension]

Big game, big plays, big caster ❤

[@brycecox8249]

Big job huh

[@ddenozor]

Best games are either Dark vs Byun or Dark vs Hero. change my mind

[@aidangumby]

Byun the light, there is only Dark.

[@d_chem_]

Finally ByuN

[@GameFuMaster]

surprised how Dark lost game 1 when Byun threw away ghosts like that.

[@jeffreyrook8073]

22 minutes into the video and it's clear this will go down in history as one of the games of all time.

[@karenwang313]

Comments like these stopped being funny a long time ago lmfao

The prodigal son of Kevin Spacey - WinterStarcraft is back :D

[@oskarld6772]

I always think that "jun ka-ping" place is somewhere in korea, then every time after a few seconds I realise he's just misserably failing to say Jönköping, as a Swede I find that very funny ( if winter actually sees this, you can try saying jöön-shööp-ing, ö sounding a bit like "uh" if that helps at all)

[@KlapperHype]

Nice hockey reference brethrened.

[@IsaacFNghost]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game where Terran transitions into a mech army? Didn’t even really know it was possible (to do efficiently if you’ve already built 6-8 rax)

[@erccdang]

That game was 2v1 Byun vs Dark & Byun

[@ryanberger7363]

Surprised to see Byun playing marco games!

[@F0nz3]

pimpest plays 2023? that would be awesome, instead of 100 GAME OF THE YEAR games, a contest! to see which game is the best .

[@PashaSlavaUkraine]

Dark is infestor god 😮

[@RohitArvindMishra]

How can a race of blood-thirsty mindless animals mind-control units into doing exactly what they want the unit to do (referring to Infestors here)?

"Succeeding you Karen" 😂

[@gavintomchick6271]

I was worried he wasn't a byun fan boy since its been a while lol

[@mihya5954]

Serral vs Clem was the best SC2 game ever played and Dark vs Byun the best of the year :D

[@verihimthered2418]

Thanks for clarifying 🦊👍👍

[@bladgier]

We get the game of the year of starcraft on average few times a month

[@jmgutierrez962]

Crazy intense game..!!

[@Fuck_google666]

Those games were form another reality, because ByuN didn't pick up and he didn't went to the main...

[@Tuchajbejasyn]

what happned to all the BAR content ?

[@reloadingdontshoot1]

Game 2 of Gumiho vs Serral is GOTY for me from today. He was DEAD, and forced Serral to GG; absolute madness

[@julianbelfrage8768]

Maybe neural should kill the Infestor but be permanent so it's a one time use option to escape death and move to a new host.

[@dennispham668]

sheeeesh felt like Dark outplayed but terrans too strong with the orbitals, tanks, and planetary

[@Ep0pteia]

what a f*cking game! that was amazing to watch, how do they do it? I can't understand

[@JD-fy2cf]

Just in time

is this the 363 or 364th game of the year this year?

[@marine_ronin0137]

Hi , where i can dowload these replay ? thx

[@josuepereira9782]

I could not watch game 2 after seeing Dark lose game 1. The time left in the video made it clear who won and I could not watch another Terran easy win after how much effort Dark put in the game.

[@alexandresimard696]

I don't care about Stormgate as long as SC2 deliver this quality of games. 2023 is, by far, the best year for SC2 for quality games !!
