My favorite player and probably the most inimitable player on the scene, with an unbelievable ability to play out every conceivable (and inconceivable) win condition, whether it be off 90 drones or 9, with pure lair tech or two spellcasters and five hotkeys, with hair-raisingly decisive attacks or scrappy base trades; you just never knew with Dark. All you knew was that he played to make the game messy, because nobody could outplay Dark when he was behind haha. I remember his baneling drops vs Stats in SSL in 2016, his ultralisk counterattacks in early LoTV (including vs ByuN on King Sejong), his debut of roach-based macro ZvT vs Taeja in 2019 or so, and *that one basetrade* vs Innovation. Then his ZvZ camping that regularly stumped Reynor and Rogue; his ZvT dedicated counterattacks that crippled Clem, Byun, and Maru over and over and over; his ZvP infestor queen ultra experiments that he developed with Rogue against Zest and herO. There was nothing Dark didn't eventually figure out an answer for, even if the answers weren't always the community-accepted ones. What a treat to have been his fan. Looking forward to his return | ||

Looking forward to his return Has the game ever seen a better improviser? Other players do crazy stuff, but often it’s pre-prepared. It’s a composition. Perhaps a crazy composition, but they’ve sat and written out the score. Dark could roll with a crazy composition, or the very stock standard. But give him a crazy game state and he could improvise something good, like a great jazz player. I can’t really think of one better! | ||
