So either way now we get Kato 23 or Kato 24 finals repeat. pretty funny. On June 03 2024 03:05 MJG wrote: It's actually great to see this get punished for once.

Any T or P building 7 depots/pylons gets laughed at as "not good enough to hang with the best." | ||

Dark is still scary, but I feel like he needs to tighten his play a bit if he wants to be winning championships. He doesn't have to have the best mechanics in the world, but he needs to do better than that. | ||

It's just dark, had a long 52 one as well during the droning phase. It really hurts to watch this messy play | ||

Elazer overlords at 140 supply aren't game-ending, but Elazer overlords at 58 supply is ???? unless you're about to flood roaches. | ||

It really hurts to watch this messy play It annoys me how Dark never seems to improve on his mechanic and only gets worse. I understand being a dad means he has less time to play but doesn't his friends or coach call him out for this? It's such a simple thing to work on. | ||

Dark BEAT Byun building Elazer ovies at 58 supply, which is even crazier. Shows how good other aspects of Dark's game really are.

I can't fault Dark for his mechanics getting worse since he has a son just a few months old. Mechanics take a lot of practice to fix, and nobody has as much time to devote to anything when there's a 3 month old infant at home. EDIT: I enjoy seeing real analysis going on at the analysis desk! Props to ZG! | ||

Imagine the chores he would have gotten in a team house... He needs to get baby night shifts for every supply block, he will learn very quickly | ||

Props to ZG! I partially agree - late game larva issues/supply issues would take a lot of effort to fix, and Dark is probably busy + on the verge of military anyways. By the time he's much better mechanically he might be gone, even if he had the time. On the other hand, 58 supply supply blocks are a build order issue more than anything else. Yes, Dark dropped a few OVs in some of the games, but throughout all the early games he's played in his life Dark has certainly seen those situations hundreds of times. | ||

He only played 4 series, he's 4-0 though. Since, and taking into account, Master Coliseum, he's 50-5 in maps. But he did get 2-0 by Maru! So there's maybe a sliver of suspense. | ||

I think this is true, but I think there's also a gap in that stage of the game were T/P are spending those ~700 minerals on additional Barracks/Gateways, and so Z can kinda get away with it... | ||

I am guessing this is sarcasm, but I am asking a genuine question. I hope Reynor casts the finals. | ||
