3:58 Winter: "SCVs no changes" Patch: "Workers no longer need to wait for full deceleration before beginning to attack" – It's a buff to worker pulls like in Game 1 since they can micro a bit better now
Maybe zerglings should be able to shoot up like every other race's cheap basic units. That would be fair :). Oh, and give perv overlords cloaking when not moving. That would be disgusting.
I think it's clear that zerg need a faster base larva spawn rate and to nerf queen's spawn ability to 50 energy.
Bro what's happening to ByuN? He's hitting new power levels recently?
I've heard a lot about how the Snipe change will let Zerg easily avoid it – is that actually true? I'm looking at e.g. 39:47 where it looks to me like Dark pulls back the instant the snipes come through, and they still go off?
Thanks for the reminder. Like and subscribe…
Marines
Not using banelings against byun is just plain suicidal
That was a play ByuN'd my wildest imagination
Dang Jimmy really blew that intro into game one.. can we all take a moment to appreciate how forgiving Winter is, to keep employing someone who makes so many mistakes?
"Desperation Infestors"? Desperfesters! 😆
Very fun cast. Thank you Winter
Zerg bias Winter
Byun games are good, but it's getting really old watching him stomp everyone. It'd be nice to see some other players.
To make the byun's 1st game look even more disgusting, it was into the natural while within several yards in deep creep spread
I don't think I need to watch before predicting this.
Byun's new strategy: Still bio and Medivacs.
Edit: Yup.
Marines counter everything. IDK why this is so hard for people to realize.
Did you say he… BYUNderestimated that Roach Ravager push!?
byun might not be the best terran, but he's the most enjoyable to watch
Finally, was tired of non zerg in tournaments, we should have nothing but zerg. Zergcraft 2 should be the name of the game. And what kind of idiot thought it was smart to give terrans counter to instant tech switches of zerg, or counter to broodlords suported by 1000 supply in mobile defence, or counter to lurkers. They should buff the queen a little.

Why did dark wait forever to start ling speed in the first game?
great zerg play, sad he couldnt take it home
Workers did get a big change though. They attack without needing to come to a full stop. That's fairly significant I would say.
WOLV-MARINES!!!!
He buyngled it.
they really need to add a basic low damage ranged attack for infestors so they don't derp forward in battle like that. ghosts and high templar both have that. naturally, zerg doesn't because blizzard hates Zerg. Fucking broken ass game
will we see ravens helping out with clearing creep instead of using scans? feel like their decreased cost and build time make them worth it for the detection alone
THE GAME 3 HOLD! Wow
I’m very new to pro SC2, and I really appreciate the insights, micro/macro, and buff/nerf insights you provide. It makes it so much more interesting.
Perfect mix between match commentary and meta commentary. And yes you did make my day better, I’ve had the flu and this has helped me get my mind off of it. I’ll go watch some more of your vids too!
That 9:54 Marauder who grew up in that Barracks, spawn in the last second into absolutely chaos, and was immediately killed. RIP.
That cyclon change made marines look broken, i agree.
wtf
Who needs laughing gas when you have that first match
Byun, we love you, but stop getting units nerfed. Youre making life harder for the rest of us terrans.
Wasn't the reasoning for the increased ravager build time to make it harder to morph hurt roaches in the middle of fights and have them spawn with full HP before the eggs could be killed so easily? That was my thought at least, ravager all-ins wasn't really an issue was it?
Nice balance patch you’ve got there. Be a real shame if someone byun’d all over it…
marines
"He only has 17 DRONES! That's not-" Byun concedes "..It's enough drones."
I almost spit my drink. Hilarious.
I love that these two players are back and playing against one another again. The first ever pro SC2 game I watched was Dark vs Byun 2016 world finals and having them back is so great to see them back
I love how stupid Starcraft comment sections can get with balance whining. If all races are complaining, maybe shut the hell up and get good at yours.
