      @@hobbes3 You probably know the obama meme is used when someone praises himself. About the top 20 players were asked to make a list of who they consider to be the top 1,2,3 etc. Naturally 19 out of 20 ranked serral to be top 1. Dark was the only one who didnt rank serral as top 1, he carefully analyzed the whole scene and came to the conclusion to rate dark at number one ^^ So there is no video, just the fact that dark (maybe as part of his somewhat jokingly bad boy image) ranked himself number one sc2 player.

    Every time I watch MaxPax vs Dark, I'm reminded of the scene from Better Call Saul where Jimmy is yelling at his older brother like, "COME ON CHUCK, ROLL AROUND IN THE DIRT WITH ME!" And Chuck's just not having it. Dark is obviously Jimmy in this situation, even though their age gap is reversed in this case.

      edit: actually, at 10:18 protoss is up 15 army supply, which might not sound like much, but it's 50% more than his opponent. On top of having +1 soon vs no upgrades from Dark. He definitely could've taken out the hatchery if he didn't try to go up a ramp. Maybe Dark would go down and defended it but lost much more queens hampering his larva. Hell, two charged up voidrays would probably do it alone in the time it took Dark to clean up chargelots, if Maxpax didn't lose them at the start of the fight...

    Game #2 is why Protoss hate Zerg, even though Terran are the real imbalance issue. Dark goes for an allin, it's stopped. They are on even workers, but Max should be ahead in tech and eventually economy. But Protoss just doesn't have any good units at this stage that Max could have used to punish Maxpax. If he had built stalkers, Dark could have just build lings. And nothing is good against the 8 queens Dark had. Meanwhile Dark can fail the allin, tech to roaches, defend the counter, and tech to hydras.
