Good article over all, however, I struggle to see how you could argue that Stats was the worse player on paper. He'd just come off the back of a GSL finals run, so to say he had no significant results when you're counting Dark's GSL semifinals run in the SAME tournament seems a tad misleading.

TL writers have underestimated Stats the entire year so this isn't surprising.
They predicted him to lose in every single round of the first GSL and was removed from the Power Rank completely after dropping out of the GSL ro16 despite performing well in every other tournament around that time.


While online and offline are very different, it was difficult to completely discount Stats's online form when he looked so utterly hopeless.

When you consider he clearly doesn't take online events seriously, and is one of the most consistant players ever in offline events, it's pretty easy to disregard it.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Dark seems to suffer from poor mentality in important matches, he is a very creative and aggresive player who pulls some crazy tricks no one else could at times but just couldn't use his mind when it comes to a finals.
Also he's lost 3 premier finals and a semifinal to Stats in lotv, damn these two have quite the rivalry.

Just came to my mind in a zvz game earlier this year he dropped a changeling on top of a baneling to detonate it, that was the one of the coolest shit I've seen in a zvz.

I always want to believe in Dark, I always cheer my heart out for him, only for it to be ripped apart. Needless to say, BlizzCon will follow the same procedure again... maybe this time with a happy end? (please)


I've been a consistant Dark fanboy since mid-HOTS, back when he's like every terran's absolute nightmare and every protoss's best friend. Watching him still be one of the best zerg without any significant wins this year makes me quite sad. I just want him to keep that cocky-ass atitude while crushing everyone and win a championship, just once PLZ, better make that Blizzcon?

Dark seems on the path to become yet another zerg Kong, it's insanw to think the number of in Korea zerg would have won if SoO, Byul and Dark had won 50% of their finals.


after this and the fact that neeb and classic turned into gods after switching from terran, not surprising that sc2 is a joke at competitive level and nobody should take it serious.

Shouldn't Dark's card at the bottom of the article be active now?
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

The more I think about this Blizzcon, the more I realize this is the most hyped I've been for one since 2014. We've got the absolute cream of the crop on the Korean side, and for foriegners, while I was hoping Reynor or Scarlett would make it, ultimately Serral is the whole story this time (then again... Neeb did reach the Semifinals of GSL...) I don't even know which two of sOs, Maru, and Serral I'm most hoping to see as the finals matchup. Probably Serral and Maru but a 3rd Blizzcon win for sOs would be SO friggen epic.

Anyways, solid write-up for Dark. The last son of Boxer may yet have his chance at ultimate glory.

We need that 2014 hype thread again

I also believe that Dark can do this. Dark often feels like he's just a hair's breadth away from being the champion we all know he could be. He just needs to drink whatever mutagen Maru exposed himself to this year.
