It was actually too loud to hear what Dark said so I hope it wasn't the exact opposite

Well this series is over. How did this pleb who loses his reaper to slow lings even get this far?!

I have to say people always complain about strategy not being that important in this RTS game but Dark's run is from top to bottom has been on the back of very sound strategies even if the execution wasn't always on point.

Might as well just call me out by name, smh There is a reason Dark is my favourite player left in the scene, though.

The way the Creep interacts with the river fords isn't especially pleasant though .

wow that was supposed to be best terran map right?

Strategy is really important in SC2.
People who complain that it doesn't, and that they lose despite having "better strategy" just because their opponents have better execution, often have 7/10 strategy and 4/10 execution while their opponents have 6/10 strategy and 7/10 execution.
Guess what, a bit better planning/strategy doesn't make up for much worse execution.

If nothing else it's good to know who will win this season of GSL.

Of course we all knew there was never a way back into the game for Maru after he lost his reaper to a slow ling surround.

Or people who complain about strategy are people that dislike the lack of diversity in the way games look at top level sc2, that could be it too.

I'm pretty sure you can get to Diamond with no mechanics just on the basis of mediocre strategy.
Otherwise, how did I get there?

There is still so much strategy just in unit movements, tech switches, scouting patterns, attack timings, decision-making when to harass and when to attack etc etc..
