A littile bit of history on cannon rushing and creator. Creator and parting are good friends actually and just before going to millitary parting taught a lot of things about canon rushing to creator (creator said it himself) and it helped a lot him in one of the prior gsl seasons!
I've lost interest around HotS, and I'm still reeling that SC2 scene got so friggin good. Every aspect - the early/mid/late game development, the talent including world-class foreigners, amazing casters, the casting Archon divided and yet someone able to fill that void, only recently came along ZombieGrub who to me is so far GOAT of casters... and then this group. What in the actual F? Insane series of series.
57:38 that one marine just saw how all of his buddies got liquefied by banelings and he still managed to carry on with his mission and destroy the hatch. A true hero.
@@dustincintron1682 hes lacking good control/micro (relative speaking).. he could won those matches but seems like he couldnt keep up with the "APM" hes improving since military a lot
I have to say this. Even after getting beaten by Dark, Classic is the strongest Protoss in the tournament. He has a solid PvP and PvT. He may not be able to eliminate Zerg players easily but im sure he can reach quarter or finals.
@@tyrellwreleck4226Classic was straight up beaten in game two. He rolled the dice and threw some DTs in. Not a strategic genius moment. Just a dumb unit with a history of this sort of result.
Wow, this GSL is insane! Even as a Terran fan, I found the recent GSLs won by Maru kinda boring. His playing style was a bit boring but he's just too good. Once he's out, it's like GSL came to life. Classic's an innovator. Every game is also so much fun and unpredictable. Love it!
This was the most action packed, exciting series of matches that I've seen in a while! Every match was gritty and had me on the edge of my seat! Major props to those that advanced, but those that didn't also played some insane games! So much fun to watch, thanks for bringing it to USA for us :)
How Classis in 2nd game against Creator has eaten a couple of huge disruptor shots and still managed to pull that game of, is just beyond me...! Unbelievable, simply speaking
I have a balance idea. There needs to be a passive on probes you can right-click called, "harrass". When you turn it on, ai will take over and mine enemy minerals, plant manner pylons, cannon rush expansions, etc
Is this the best round of GSL all-time? Every series was phenomenal. Battlecruisers, tempests, dark templars, base trades, nydus worms, single swarm host harass, burrowed zerglings. These game were so good, so much originality, it was wildly entertaining. If not the best of all time, maybe the last great GSL series we'll see.
Spoiler alert….. Dark vs Bunny, it looked like Dark was playing a B rank Terran, just brutal, savage, rekt; absolutely taken down. And this is Bunny! He took down Serral less than a year ago at Dream Hack Atlanta.
As much as I like Bunny and I want him to do well, that Atlanta performance was certainly an outlier. Dark was massively favoured, I would have been shocked if Bunny had pulled off a win. Dark is also a much different beast than Serral, and I think his style counters Bunny's aggressive style much more than Serral's does.
What, the actual duck. Dark was consistently in the 500-700 APM moving up to 800-1100 apm for sustained periods in some of these fights. 1:17:54 just watch for the APM for 2 or 3 minutes.
First Match: Tasteless "This is one for the history books" Second Match: Hold my beer... and pipe... Third Match: HODOOR!!!!!! Edit: 4th Match: A clinic 5th Match: A treat Incredible games. It blows my mind that the GSL games and production is so on point season after season.
Every match was INSANE. StarCraft continues to evolve every year and just when you think someone’s skill can’t get any better, you get these beasts like Dark and Classic in GSL and is SO cool to see
I wish we had more of Caster Park on stage for the interviews, I love that dude hahaha. I remember he used to interview them on stage and such, he is really entertaining to watch.
Damn this was absolutely amazing, so many various cool strats, this day had it all, macro, cheese, smart pushes, basedtrades, crazy! It looked like the new addon came several months ago an people trying new stuff, but the exuction was much better!
Just pure edge of your seat matches all around. PvP usually so boring but Classic vs Creator was just INTENSE! Love it. Thank you to all the players, casters and crew, GSL and the sponsors for keeping SC2 alive. LIKE AND COMMENT THE VIDEO to keep SC2 alive!
While it was kinda entertaining. And obv I'm an amateur so you can argue I don't have a right to say anything. I think the protoss players need to work on their end-game, i.e. clutching out games in winning positions with good decision-making. It felt like both Creator AND Classic (although Classic won the PvPs) didn't seal out games from positions where they definitely could have won due to little decisions or moments of impatience or what have you. Some examples imo: - if Creator follows up after his cannon rush more cleanly - has to keep in mind here his base is gonna mine out before Classic's new base, so he either needs to get ahead economically (tough with the void rays) or stop Classic *before* he sets up defense, imo - if Classic keeps his warp prism alive vs. Dark, builds another one quickly and stalls for it, or maybe even has a back-up pylon, or retreats with his immortals, or attacks the 3rd base rather than the natural (where units can basically come from both directions and if workers aren't killed, the zerg can easily come back because they still have productions - in the last game, if Classic doesn't go in so haphazardly with his army, letting his zealots get hit, then maybe he doesn't fall behind - but after that, if Creator recalls his *entire* army, or commits defense into 1 spot (a farther away base from where the warp prism warp-ins were happening) rather than splitting resources and stuff trying to defend different bases, I think he has a much better shot, and with a significant worker lead *AND* army lead at a point, the game dragging on is to his favor imo - and I think a pro should be able to gauge this situation decently enough with all the vision they have of both their own base and where their army is at And there are probably more examples, but I digress. While I want toss to do well, this doesn't really feel like clean, championship-level play right now. So I'm kinda hoping that both Classic and Creator look at these games and really trying to work on clutching out games against players who you usually can't afford to give any opportunity to come back. Maybe get some advice from sOs, idk, I feel like he might've won at least a couple of these games where Creator didn't, hahahaha
When Protoss units get dropped on/beside a building. They should make an attack happen. Like Zealots can hit anything when dropped, Immortals can hit a building, spectres/adepts can hit a unit, dark templar can hit a unit. Like the D.P.S. is so low you can never go for a base trade before 3-4 collossi with 2+ immortals or a whole fleet of carriers/tempests.
As I watched the opening PvP, I found myself praying for a protoss to go to the winners match. My head told me to stop being silly, but my heart didnt truly believe a protoss could make it so far…
That Creator vs Classic last match - i was like OH sht creator taking it.... then im OH sht classic is coming back.... then i was OH sht creator is gonna take it.... then i was OH sht classic is doing it now.... haha
Mannnn!! Creator just NEVER keeping up with upgrades.. so many games his army just loses bit by bit because he’s at a disadvantage. It’s so frustrating to watch! He seems so baffled when he loses
that ling at bunny's ramp wall was blocked out in time but he still died over the other side of the wall XD aw man if only creator went and brought the oracle all the way back to defend he could have held that attack :/ .... ROFL TASTELSS >WHY ARE YOU NOT LOOKING THERE?!?! creator should have won that game :/ ....

True hero!
Scout blocked!
T1 WINS !!!
One of the best days of GSL. Those games were nuts.

Stim is a helluva drug
He was the chosen one
Holy shit GSL delivering sooo hard this season. Go go Classic!!!!!!
Fck Classic. He is just winning against other Protoss and losing against Terrans and Zerg. Thanks to this a-hole Protoss has no chance this year.
Go DARK!
Damn... Dark vs Classic was a really good match...
Classic becoming my fave protoss player. His games today, plus recently him doing some mass robo "mech toss" thing in PvT
@@dustincintron1682 hes lacking good control/micro (relative speaking).. he could won those matches but seems like he couldnt keep up with the "APM" hes improving since military a lot
I have to say this. Even after getting beaten by Dark, Classic is the strongest Protoss in the tournament.
He has a solid PvP and PvT. He may not be able to eliminate Zerg players easily but im sure he can reach quarter or finals.
what are you talking about, he got 2 wins by random "when all else fails, make DTs and send them to enemy base"
@@naibresoulew1 he was ahead in tech and upgrade. Not everything is about supply
@@tyrellwreleck4226Classic was straight up beaten in game two. He rolled the dice and threw some DTs in. Not a strategic genius moment. Just a dumb unit with a history of this sort of result.
Wow, this GSL is insane! Even as a Terran fan, I found the recent GSLs won by Maru kinda boring. His playing style was a bit boring but he's just too good. Once he's out, it's like GSL came to life. Classic's an innovator. Every game is also so much fun and unpredictable. Love it!
Yeah, and Maru hasnt played well at all this tournament, glad we see other players stepping up.
I love those new patches. This gives the game so much more spice.
One of the best days of GSL EVER!!! HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AMAZINGGGG
This was the most action packed, exciting series of matches that I've seen in a while! Every match was gritty and had me on the edge of my seat! Major props to those that advanced, but those that didn't also played some insane games! So much fun to watch, thanks for bringing it to USA for us :)
Those were some really insane matches!
2:48:00 Damn what is the sick music?? Whoever does the music for these intermissions deserves a raise. Both GSL's music and games are top-notch.
I'm just 1h in and Darks 1st game, but I can already say this:
Dark the kind of guy who likes to play with his food.
haha!
I remember when he fought against Zoun and spammed changelings just to flex on the latter with APM to spare.
Wheres Gyuri? I miss her. Pretty damn fine for a 79 year old woman...
Man*
They had to let her go because greedy Bobby needs another yacht instead of supporting GSL.
@@kaelinvictus6039 OMG ... so what are us nerds gonna do now?? How do I see her shoulders???
@@TheVanillatech add pronouns to your profile then dye your hair blue and pink. After drinking a case of bud light you'll see it.
Tasteless’s live Korean translation is pro level holy moly
I'm pretty sure he has a translator in his earpiece, I think he said that on a previous cast
i just imagined he was reading CC.
It’s way off most of the time. He’s basically making things up.
@@ChiefQueef92 Then the translator is making things up. He's repeating what the translator says in his headset :Shrug:
Best day of GSL. Ever, Holy fucking shit, just for real. Every series. God damn.
Ahahaha, I just made the exact same comment
that ling drop by Dark was absolutely insane!
How Classis in 2nd game against Creator has eaten a couple of huge disruptor shots and still managed to pull that game of, is just beyond me...! Unbelievable, simply speaking
Let me explain...DTs. There, solved it for you. Lol
When behind, dark shrine. It's an old protoss saying, and it once again holds true.
I watched every single GSL. Still amazes me how close some of these games are
Imagine a VOD where the sound is synced up with the video
Some day....
But it is. You watched it too early
@@notSoAnonyymus I refreshed it's still off
Great games, thanks GSL!!! I'm a fan for life!!!
starcraft 2 has been HYPE lately. Such great matches.
Classic throwing games like Trap...
6:44 match1 Creator vs Classic
47:54 match2 Dark vs Bunny
1:32:32 match3 winner's match
2:23:11 match4 loser's match
2:56:36 match5 decider match
Dark is on fire!
This might just be the best day of GSL I've ever seen. Every match, every game, was unique, exciting, and insane.
I have a balance idea. There needs to be a passive on probes you can right-click called, "harrass". When you turn it on, ai will take over and mine enemy minerals, plant manner pylons, cannon rush expansions, etc

both round of 8 were AMAZING!
1:03:07 In that final moment of the first Dark vs Bunny, I literally said "That is so sick"... And then State said the same thing at 1:03:14 ^_^
Damn man what an insane series of games. Great casting I've got nerd chills.
Classic is Supper Professional
What a classic set of games today.
Spoiler alert…..
Dark vs Bunny, it looked like Dark was playing a B rank Terran, just brutal, savage, rekt; absolutely taken down.
And this is Bunny! He took down Serral less than a year ago at Dream Hack Atlanta.
I know right.. he seems to have fallen off lately. Or the others have leveled up.
I think Bunny has been fine lately, maybe not championship quality like he was last year, but Dark was EVERYWHERE that first game.
The first game is probably the only one in my memory where the player typing GG had a higher army supply than the winner
As much as I like Bunny and I want him to do well, that Atlanta performance was certainly an outlier. Dark was massively favoured, I would have been shocked if Bunny had pulled off a win. Dark is also a much different beast than Serral, and I think his style counters Bunny's aggressive style much more than Serral's does.
@@adastida he has a higher army supply almost through the whole game!
This group was outstanding. Through and through.
What, the actual duck. Dark was consistently in the 500-700 APM moving up to 800-1100 apm for sustained periods in some of these fights. 1:17:54 just watch for the APM for 2 or 3 minutes.
APM is inflated massively by rapid-fire. Zerg numbers just look silly.
Classic, one of the Kings of protoss is slowly coming back to his max form. Stats will come back too.
Classic had some crazy chaotic games! lotsa fun
What an epic video! Great start to finish. Thrills! Chills! and Spills!
What a ride. Thanks for the awesome games and casting, guys
Way to go Classic!!
First Match: Tasteless "This is one for the history books"
Second Match: Hold my beer... and pipe...
Third Match: HODOOR!!!!!!
Edit: 4th Match: A clinic
5th Match: A treat
Incredible games. It blows my mind that the GSL games and production is so on point season after season.
Great games. Awesome to have the Boss-Toss back!
Does anyone know how much longer we get Dark? I know he is going into service soon...
We dont know when he leave yet, but possibly at the end of this year.
Every match was INSANE. StarCraft continues to evolve every year and just when you think someone’s skill can’t get any better, you get these beasts like Dark and Classic in GSL and is SO cool to see
I wish we had more of Caster Park on stage for the interviews, I love that dude hahaha. I remember he used to interview them on stage and such, he is really entertaining to watch.
와 강민수가 이걸
Match 1 Game 3 was so fucking poggers
And match 5 game 2!!
Maru and Bunny's elimination has inspired us to buff terran. -sincerely, the balance team
Best game ever made! Love Star Craft 2!! Thank you AfreecaTV and GSL for the highest level entertainment!
Damn this was absolutely amazing, so many various cool strats, this day had it all, macro, cheese, smart pushes, basedtrades, crazy! It looked like the new addon came several months ago an people trying new stuff, but the exuction was much better!
Such great matches! 🙂👍
Just pure edge of your seat matches all around. PvP usually so boring but Classic vs Creator was just INTENSE! Love it. Thank you to all the players, casters and crew, GSL and the sponsors for keeping SC2 alive. LIKE AND COMMENT THE VIDEO to keep SC2 alive!
3:15:00 the gold base that avoided detection :D
excellent!!
Alpha zero? Lol do they mean Alphastar haha. Man I miss Artosis!
Dark when producing one swarm host: There are no mistakes,only happy accidents.
Holy fuck these games were beyond wild, so many swings, twists and turns you couldn’t tell who was gonna win til the very end
While it was kinda entertaining. And obv I'm an amateur so you can argue I don't have a right to say anything. I think the protoss players need to work on their end-game, i.e. clutching out games in winning positions with good decision-making.

Quality of games is just amazing. Burrow is so worth it for Dark, he has the APM.
How to get repeat of this
Classic: (Tasteless translation) “so I made the dark shrine, and that saved my ass.”
LET TASTELESS SPEAK STATE, JESUS CHRIST MAN
When Protoss units get dropped on/beside a building. They should make an attack happen.
Like Zealots can hit anything when dropped, Immortals can hit a building, spectres/adepts can hit a unit, dark templar can hit a unit. Like the D.P.S. is so low you can never go for a base trade before 3-4 collossi with 2+ immortals or a whole fleet of carriers/tempests.
Classic vs Creator Game 2 What a Comeback 👀🔥
we should always have new patch released just before another GSL
"He's like why would I not do this, it's hard to deal with." -Make one swarm host. Lmao.
The first series that Dark played was unbelievable. He took Bunny apart
classic so cool !
Thank you afreeca for still making these events possible
This has been a fun tournament so far
As I watched the opening PvP, I found myself praying for a protoss to go to the winners match. My head told me to stop being silly, but my heart didnt truly believe a protoss could make it so far…
That first match was so weird! 😆
Dark really making a amazing show
Group B was fire!
classic doing classic things
Dude that last game creator vs classic is INSANE LOL
Incredible games!
Damn Dark smashing through, what a beast
damn. heart breakers left and right
Anyone else think at 39:40 the outro music sound a bit like the intro to Paranoia Agent?
Where’s the time stamp guy?
That Creator vs Classic last match - i was like OH sht creator taking it.... then im OH sht classic is coming back.... then i was OH sht creator is gonna take it.... then i was OH sht classic is doing it now.... haha
HOLY take notes from Classic on how to counter a cannon rush
A Dark vs Classic finals would be amazing
imagine if classic and other players doesn't have to do the military service, how well GSL be, gogo Classic!!
The CHIN prevails!
I'm not usually a fan of PvP, but that was amazing! GGs
GSL Hype
Is that true the eng stream has more viewers?
Guys, hear me out. Ya know the meme of adding a mustache to a character to imply an alter ego? i give you DARK DARK!
Mannnn!! Creator just NEVER keeping up with upgrades.. so many games his army just loses bit by bit because he’s at a disadvantage. It’s so frustrating to watch! He seems so baffled when he loses
wow, great games

Is the classic Classic on his way back?!?!🎉🎉🎉🎉
3:04:17 "I'll use Scarlett as an example... She's" She.... SHE!!! hahaha
That was a throw with that partial recall by Creator. Eh...
An exciting PvP for once :-)
Classic is my hero now
What a treat haha
that ling at bunny's ramp wall was blocked out in time but he still died over the other side of the wall XD
aw man if only creator went and brought the oracle all the way back to defend he could have held that attack :/ ....
