Hey guys,
I'm Darkomicron, an 18 year old Dutch high master Protoss player on the EU server. I play for KnightS* (ks-gaming) and I stream mostly ladder matches, practice vs my team and sometimes online tournaments in which I compete. I love to interact with my viewers and give them tips or answer any questions that they might have.
I almost always commentate while playing my ladder games. I'm not very used to doing this and sometimes the stream is quiet because I'm too concentrated on my game. I do however also have music on in the background and the gamesounds are there as well. It won't ever be completely quiet =). I try to explain what I do, why I do that, and what I think of the situation I'm in. I also answer questions that anyone might have. This might prove useful for the lower ranked people that watch my stream.
My goal is to enter the Grandmaster league and fight among the professional players. I've beaten many Grandmasters before (in tournaments as well as on ladder) but I haven't been able to enter the league yet. I had a fair shot in many seasons but every time something came in between me and my laddering and I lost the chance.
The stream is located here: http://www.twitch.tv/ksdarkomicron
Here are a few of my games: Replay pack, including games vs EGIdrA and aTnSocke: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=294984 Replay pack 2: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=312906
Hope to see you there, Ferry "Darkomicron" van de Pol

Great player, great stream
|
Great protoss play! I recommend him to any protoss looking to improve!
|
Darko:D! Love you and the stream! Jaap
|
GL HF Ferry hope you get into Grandmasters as you wished
Also: would be nice if you said vs who it is, in the replays you uploaded.
|
Thanks everyone :D I added the names Grubby, thanks.
All these positive comments only motivate me more!
|
Lovely stream, lovely person. ^^ He needs a lot more viewers!
|
It's good to be able to discuss with the streamer, comment the game, and ask or purpose some tips. I also like your playstyle as a Toss which is not always the case far from that. With a little bit of progress you should be able to reach this GM league ^^
|
I'm thinking of maybe coaching or casting some games as well. What would you guys think of that? ^^
|
What do you use to stream?

great stream, keep it up!
|
Great guy, both a very good player and a very nice person. He definately has it in him to get into grandmaster at a certain point in the near future. The stream itself shows plenty of good games a fair amount of players can learn from.
|
GOD I hate zerg. I hate zerg so much.
|
GOD I love playing Protoss SOOO MUCH
|
Streaming for the last time in 2.5 weeks today! I will be going to Italy and I will resume streaming when I'm back.
|
|
I'm back from Italy and I will resume streaming ASAP!
|
Good stream, very entertaining!
|
|
really nice intelligent guy! should deserve some more viewers
|
A lovely person and a great stream. I really like his way to play. Hopefully he will reach gm soon :-) keep it up !
|

Haha, yeah. It wasn't long after my return of a 2.5 week break so I was playing a little worse than normally. I'm usually top 8 on rank 4+. I would have gotten GM this season if not for my vacation I was 178th, SO CLOSE! I want it so badly, haha.
|
Good stream, nice tunes, fun builds and really great viewer interaction that helped me learn a bit.
|
DO, since I switched to random, you helped me not get destroyed when I spawn as toss. TY.

Really good protoss player and ofc a proud member of KnightS-gaming :D
|
Awesome carrier play, i have never before seen carriers used so well
Certainly an entertaining stream.
|
Nice stream Darko!! Really fun to watch!!
|
Fun to watch, he's pretty good
|
I got 2nd in the pre-FoM SC2 Cup, losing 0-3 to PoYo in the finals, but beating LLLSheriff in the semi-finals. I reached the Ro16 of the Imbalonian Cup where I once again met PoYo, losing 0-1 to him. However, I did knock out AiSeiplo (GM Protoss).
All I can do is improve more, to make it a convincing 3-0 vs PoYo the next time we meet :D
|
|
Hey Darkomicron, it's mjwNshake, what's up ? :D
Good luck for the stream !
|
Great Stream, if you wanna learn about Protoss playing as, or against. this is a good stream to watch and ask questions on.
|
|
Yesterday was an awesome day and I missed it But people might recognize you now! :3
|

I could start doing this, just like whitera does you mean? Packing all the ladder games up and uploading them? Or selecting replays and stuff?
Anyway, I just beat IDRA on the ladder. So thrilled! http://www.twitch.tv/ksdarkomicron/b/300934961
edit: see OP for the replay download

Thanks so much for putting your replays online Darko. It is much appreciated.
Saw you just went live XD For anyone that doesn't know Darko:
be sure to check him out sometime. He's a talented european protoss player that is well on his way to work himself into the European GM league.
For anyone who isn't up to date on EU's situation: The european ladder is pretty much stuffed with talented players. Too much talent for our GM league to hold. So it is pretty common for high level master players to play nothing but GM's without ever getting promoted. I believe RotterdaM mentioned this in one of his recent broadcasts.
Anyhow: Be sure to check this guy out! He's pretty unknown atm but has been doing very well in local tournaments despite being a full-time highschool student.
|
his stream is online right now! good commentary and nice games
|
♥ nice stream - keeps looking better and better!
|
|
Really great stream to watch, keep it up Darkomicron.
Good commentary and interaction with viewers. ++
|
Darkomicron's a great guy, very friendly and I hope he gets to GM this season. He deserves it! (Can I get an hour practice-session with you Darko, for my excellent PR ? ) But really, keep it up!
|
Haha, you can always ask for stuff and perhaps I have time to answer your questions :D
Thanks once again guys for the feedback - I'm streaming right now too!
|
Very skilled and friendly player, commentary also at times for some great insight into all the match ups, would definitely recommend to tune in.
|
Awesome stream, so entertaining and so much to learn. Really great player.
|
good stream ^^ it's so awsome it made my laptop over heat 2 times xd

People requested that I post this replay, I'll be streaming the rest of the day (and tomorrow too!)
|
It was a really entertaining game, from spectator's view :D Husky really needs to cast it! Is there any way to make it so lots of people see? upvoting somewhere?
|
Great stream
|
We already had Red And Gubby.... Meet the next Dutch talent: "ksDarkomicron" great creative player!!!
|
I watched your first stream, and i really liked the way you interact with your viewers. Now I will watch your streams whenever i can.
Groet
|
Great stream ! Good luck for your journey to GM, when the time comes it shall be well deserved.
|
Still one of my fav. streamers. His gameplay and commentary helped me a lot :-)

Probably the best non pro Protoss stream out there. Love watching!
|
Awesome stream Always nice to see that there are good dutch players

Hello Darkomicron! Love your stream, really awesome way to learn how to play better protoss! I was just wondering if you could post what builds you prefer going with in the three different matchups? currently i use 3 gate void push in PvT, FFE in PvZ and 2 gate + stargate exp in PvP. But hey, im just platinum over here and i would love hear what you think is good and what build you think i should be using? :D
|
Sorry to have been gone for a long time guys, but I'm gonna start streaming again!
Thanks to (and for, by the way) your continuous support and encouragement I have decided to pick up streaming once more. I hope you'll enjoy yourselves!
