    @@hobbes3 You probably know the obama meme is used when someone praises himself. About the top 20 players were asked to make a list of who they consider to be the top 1,2,3 etc. Naturally 19 out of 20 ranked serral to be top 1. Dark was the only one who didnt rank serral as top 1, he carefully analyzed the whole scene and came to the conclusion to rate dark at number one ^^ So there is no video, just the fact that dark (maybe as part of his somewhat jokingly bad boy image) ranked himself number one sc2 player.

If that was Terran doing the stim timing after the botched Zerg attack, the Zerg would be dead in like 3 sec after the first stim and a-move.

    @@bigstreetguns6619 zealots are tanky and roach queen is not efficient army supply. Plus if he attacked the hatchery, Dark would have to go down the ramp to defend it, which would be a prime time for zealots. edit: actually, at 10:18 protoss is up 15 army supply, which might not sound like much, but it's 50% more than his opponent. On top of having +1 soon vs no upgrades from Dark. He definitely could've taken out the hatchery if he didn't try to go up a ramp. Maybe Dark would go down and defended it but lost much more queens hampering his larva. Hell, two charged up voidrays would probably do it alone in the time it took Dark to clean up chargelots, if Maxpax didn't lose them at the start of the fight...

    It's not surprising to see that Dark is married with a baby; one look at the man, and you can tell that this is a gamer who fucks. All joking aside, big congratulations to Dark! Though it does come with a little bittersweetness, knowing he's supposed to go to the military soon. Hoping for him that he gets his time served quickly so that he can get back to his family soon. Feels weird WANTING Dark to do his service, but some things are more important than others. I wish him the best regardless, and in the meantime, we'll enjoy the games he has yet to give us!

    Game #2 is why Protoss hate Zerg, even though Terran are the real imbalance issue. Dark goes for an allin, it's stopped. They are on even workers, but Max should be ahead in tech and eventually economy. But Protoss just doesn't have any good units at this stage that Max could have used to punish Maxpax. If he had built stalkers, Dark could have just build lings. And nothing is good against the 8 queens Dark had. Meanwhile Dark can fail the allin, tech to roaches, defend the counter, and tech to hydras.

    maxpax could have easily killed the 3rd base and 5+ workers rather than try to break the ramp, then he's going for the 4th base and a half assed zealot prism harrass while dark is making nothing but army, then gets way out of position, then goes for some desperate push, maxpax made every decision wrong and deserved to lose, if he killed the third base he wins, if he just scouts the push from dark and defends properly he wins, skill issue and a throw tbh.
