its not being smart, it is having the mechanics to pull it off
That too of course but what TY is showing so far would not be enough against better Zergs. Dark unit comps and control are abysmal. TY just has the right units to counter what Dark is doing he really does not have to do anything that special.
Take game 3 as an example. Serral or Reynor would easily destroy TY from that position.
Not sure, Serral been in a similar position against ByuN and lost.
This is what I was talking about. Dark is just not a top Zerg right now, and TY is way smarter. Dark would have won some time ago if he built vipers and controlled his army better.

I don't see the genious moves, I see TY ouplaying Dark and being better, but not exactly way samrter.
Yeah I don't know if his wrists force him to play a style he is not comfortable with, but this was a bit subpar. Let's see who does best among the former Jin Air players now :o
It worked out for TY but he would've won much more handily had it been standard TvZ. Props to Dark for finding a unique playstyle that matches his strengths and for making it interesting
Pretty odd that Dark never plays LBM in a meta where it's pretty popular. Sure, he was never a very meta player, but he could've tried it once. I like his style though

Lurker is a pretty beefy unit, but pretty costly and he was losing them left and right. It could be optimal with some caster(be it neural or blinding cloud), but his runs into siege tanks are affordable only if he has better income.

I think you look at games 2-4 and see how TY was able to adapt his playstyle, army comps, and engagements to his opponent. To me Dark didn't change up anything after TY figured out how to play against what he was doing.
