Gabriel Hedin I feel that maynard has the tendency to babble when he does not know what to say. I do agree that apollo knows his SC2 well and is an enjoyable caster.
Holy shit, I started watching the game from 9:10 and said, oh look at that Demuslim is casting, he is so cool... Game ends... wait THAT'S NOT DEMUSLIM WTF?!?! He sound so much like him!!!
Most builds are timed based on gas. If you get a raven, you delay 1/1, or you delay your factory and starport tech up. The reason why the raven is so expensive, is mostly because it'd cause such a tempo delay in terms of tech. Also, it is quite difficult to lose a CC early game, but should you accidentally lose the raven, it is substantially more costly than losing a mothership core, or a few queens. If you observe the absolute timings of all these builds, they are optimized... In TvZ for example. First major push comes with hellions, hellion banshee, etc. 1/1 timing is to match a econ-centric zerg build which aims to get 1/1 slightly before the terran. Being behind in upgrades in TvZ has won/lost games in the past, simply because of the mechanics of the mid-game parade push, resulting in momentum swings. The 200 gas would put the terran, one to two minutes behind on their builds, which would be disastrous.
You attack , pick up and boost away. If you got a raven with you it's easily sniped because its too slow. And you cant rebuild the raven because you are most likely using the sp to build reactored medivacs
Those Zerg are OP in the long game. Dude had plenty of chances to reaper rush/drop and more in the beginning. Rule of thumb with Zerg...crush 'em early of pay the consequences .
Taeja didn't take advantage of Dark never overcommitting. It was a constant that in any situation, Dark didn't commit until necessary, so if Taeja had committed a lot before Dark was ready, He could have overwhelmed him before Dark could counter. Also, Dark did an awesome job of baiting and punishing, and his creep spread let him take favorable fights. Taeja could have taken advantage of drops more, but didn't, and though most zergs don't try nydus, it would have been perfect for the third game. He won anyway, but nydus is really underused and a strong tool in Zerg's arsenal.
widow mines seem like such a gamble. tanks just seem to be better because you can target fire the banelings rather than just praying your widow mines do something good
No pretense to being an expert. But I did find it interesting that Taeja could not seem to pull off sustained med drops behind lines like I have seen in a lot of games. Could be a style thing, as I watched a lot of premier which is mostly non Koreans - perhaps the Korean Zerg players are better at stopping the harrasment from the medivac drops
Races are just opposite compared to what they should be. Now Zerg cant ever attack while terran keep pushing all the time. They should change the names and graphics of units and buildings, so the terran that exist now, would be zerg and opposite.
the casting is wonderful, but the camera work is horrible on this cast. it looks away from fights, cuts out to players facial expressions just before engagements and is often disconnected with the casting.
Can you please use these casters for the majority of the games, they are on a different level! Thanks guys!
Gabriel Hedin Still. Would've loved to see Day[9] again. Too busy these days I guess :\
True that.
The Aussie caster is awesome, with both his accent and what hes talking about during the game. He should definitely be casting more pro games.
Oh he can hype you up for sure.

Starts at 09:10
Game one is one of my favorite sc2 games of all time. Beautiful display of how zerg should play
Epic series! Game 1 and 3 were great hats off to both players! SC2 got fun.
And five years later he's one of the best zergs, Game one just showcasing what dark could and ended up being, a beast
What a series by dark. I am extremely impressed, wasn't expecting much from him at all I am pleasantly suprised
What is the song playing at 1:11:40?
Best two casters together.
You can't be serious! My two favorite player at it!
whats that music on 48:20 ???
Please somebody tell me!
starcraft tourneys are really cute :P
anyways
shit happens at 9:10
Holy shit, I started watching the game from 9:10 and said, oh look at that Demuslim is casting, he is so cool... Game ends... wait THAT'S NOT DEMUSLIM WTF?!?! He sound so much like him!!!
I thought exacly the same when I saw that infestor hair
Seriously!! LOL!!!!!
So glad with the result. Game 1 was amazing!
Hideki Ryuuga www.g2a.com/starcraft-ii-legacy-of-the-void-cd-key-preorder-global.html
I absolutely love this zerg composition.
One of the best examples of how zerg zerg is supposed to be played in game 1.. beautiful
What song is playing at 47:35?
Dark = Zerg Jesus?
Life = Zerg God
Jeff Bond I = LOL!! ;D
Jeff Bond Dark is strong in the zerg Force :) not sure about his brother Light.
Life was incredible but he ruined his career. Dark is very likely the best zerg in the world.
In the description it says best of three, wasn't it best of 5??
pro terrans, please tell me, is it really worth wasting an asston of scans than buying A SINGLE Raven?
My thoughts to the letter
But raven is really easy to snipe with mutas or coruptors :-/
Jim Raynor Ravens themselves don't kill creep tumors, that is why you have an army below

Great to see the Aussie caster back
where is the Life/Innovation game? why only upload 3/4 games?
description says best of 3?
that last game was just beautiful man T_T
I'm a fan of Taeja. But now I'm a fan of Dark as well. Great game from him
Is there any chance Taeja can rise again?
Amazing games!
Why didn't Taeja target fire any banelings in this series?
why cant you zoom out like that when youre playing the game? that would be much better
That's on purpose. Raises the skill ceiling.
i miss playing starcraft for fun...
Ahh, game volume is quite loud
Incredible game 1
really happy Dark took it in the end. when he got the first win he know he could take taeja in the end.
Amazing display of zerg play
9:10 match start
Those Zerg are OP in the long game. Dude had plenty of chances to reaper rush/drop and more in the beginning. Rule of thumb with Zerg...crush 'em early of pay the consequences
.
that 1st game
when you try to wall with cc, that's a "i'm f*cked. last ditch defense" play. taeja wasn't expanding. he knew he was in trouble
Great casting! :))))
Who's taejer

Starts 9:10
1:21:42 that maphack!
Taejas bane splits have really declined, I remember he was one of the best.
it seems really contrived that these 5 game finals always go to the last game
Doesn't always happen. Good Starcraft!
what are you talking about, this one didnt go to the last game.
watch maru's games xD True, Patience
Game 1 - Great map for ultras.
If you use the 0.5 speed on this video it sounds like the casters are just hammered

For the swarm!
1 Taeja fan is sad.
Wow!
MANHANDLED!
FFS 720???? Really... guys.
+addwerts 720 @ high frame rate is better than 1080 at lower frame rate.
On smartphone.
When everyone is so young😂

Remember when Taeja was a god?
Tajea has just fallen off the level of the top top terrans today while Dark is a top level zerg.
Life
Gannicus
Life sadly fell off too
linieblau
"fell off" he lost 3-2 to the best (except maybe Maru) terran in the world and will probably win GSL
Will Scharnagl
maru bomber taeja
polt mma
linieblau
Other than Maru they're all worse than Innovation
Taeja is back
Taeja. I thought the man retired to do national service?
"Little" Susie... lol
Hes not looking for medivacs... hes baiting mine hits and focus fire over the terran army
dark is waiting for tweet tweet to complete. :D
a smart zerg in
Rock; roll. Screw Terran and Blizzard imbalance.
Wow! TaeJa really disappointed!
zerg in to OP
that was prrrfuckt
yea, fuck that LOL
(zerg player)
Taeja V Doug
the casting is wonderful, but the camera work is horrible on this cast. it looks away from fights, cuts out to players facial expressions just before engagements and is often disconnected with the casting.
surprisingly quick macro game and battles
GIVE TAEJA
GGGGGGGGG
Yes dark won
I really don't like banelings
Taeja got rekt
Codename: Steam
trololololo
1st!??
the nothingness
