Thanks for the recap.
Just a curious note: I notice that the term "allin" gets thrown about to describe heavily invested attack. But isn't an allin by definition a 'flip' which decides the match there and then (at least in poker)? If the allin failed but merely puts the player far behind and capable to mount another allin or macro up, can it really be considered an allin? Shouldn't an allin be limited to really extreme plays like 4pool in BW or one base vs two base plays? Just curious on your thoughts.

I prefer the way Olli describes it, those games were entertaining and stuff was happening. Especially the 2nd game, lots of good army movement by Zest, never overcommitting but always being active on the map. The 3rd game was really scrappy and fun to watch as well
Well at least the games were good, will catch the vods later and not cringe in agony.

An all in to me is a strategy that, if it doesn't do the damage it's designed to, will have no chance to win the game.

a warning: only watch Dark vs Trust if you are a Zerg and like to watch some well-executed all-ins totally destroying a player who looked quite lost

In poker an allin isn't necessarily a flip (in terms of chance to win), it's just when someone bets all his chips (ie, either i win this pot or i'm out of the game). That's also basically what starcraft allins are; you either deal game-ending damage or you're out of the game.
Of course in poker it's easy to tell if someone gets busted or not, in starcraft defining game ending damage can be trickier.

Luckily i am a lowly gold zerg who would definitely relish watching some protoss get demolished after getting demolished myself countless times by the big book of protoss bs.

It doesn't have to be game-ending damage in my book. Say you're on two bases and committing to killing a third base and if you succeed, you stay alive. That's not necessarily game-ending, but you get to continue the game. If you fail, you're dead. That's also an all in imo.
That's just my definition though. Maybe my interpretation is a bit liberal.

Yea if the game continues on somewhat even foots you could compare it to a split pot in poker, i guess.

Sure, 'flip' isn't the best word to use, my mistake. You could have the nuts and allin and be 100% of winning.
Probably 'bust' is a better word. The attack either kills the enemy or you go bust and lose. So a heavy committed attack that fails and leave you far behind isn't necessarily an allin (in poker it would be like putting in 80% of your chips in the pot and losing - you're way far behind but still have a slim chance of coming back). I know we may be pulling hairs here.

Yeah that's how i think about it as well.

why would you ever fight dts with workers? He could have pulled and not taken any damage if he micros his stalkers
I'd consider that attack by Zest an all-in as well. Trust went for all the tech units while Zest went mass adept-stalker. If Zest doesn't kill him there Trust will have the way better army so he had to commit and subsequently lost the game

Zest, stop fucking throw away your mass adepts.
