I really enjoyed this, so cool

What a sick read....make more for sure!

Wow that was really cool! A little hard to follow sometimes, but it didn't even matter cause it was so well presented!
5/5! Make more!

Great BR.
Edit: FOR THOSE WHO DON'T GET WHY HE GOT DAs.
He was on templar tech with zealot speed and he saw or guessed (doesn't show in screenshots) that lurkers are coming. He can either go all the way to robo tech and get observers or just get dark archons and mind control an overlord. He chose the latter. Risky, since scourge can kill overlords without detection, but cool and flashy. Or I could be totally wrong and he got them for some other reason, or as a combination. KwarK is a very reactionary player. They played around 7-8 games in this ladder session, and iirc, Mondi went mutas in the majority of them. A DA with maelstrom and an archon hard counters muta so bad, so he originally got it for that, but when Mondi went for lurker instead of muta, it was just quick thinking to use the DA to mind control and bust the front. To my knowledge this is what happened anyway, he might come here and say I'm wrong, I've talked to him a lot and I know pretty well how he plays though. Still confused how KwarK lost this though heh. Instead of going "he's on 1 gas, I'm gonna lock down and stop him expanding and wait for him to starve" I suicided trying to end the game because "holy shit I'm gonna beat Dissy!!!". With my main army dead he was able to retake his main while abusing the cheap mineral heavy crackling/drop style to get map control with no gas and few minerals. Then he just played me, taxing my multitasking abilities while recovering and eventually I ran out of steam.

I remember watching this replay, and that made this blog doubly cool! I can't wait to see what you'll do with the rest of your benchmark posts.

i liked this a lot though explanation of upgrades would be nice for the non - bw crowd . Still i think with my year of BW exposure i understood this, well done :D. EDIT: cheers to my 500th post half way there :D.

just goes to show how much of a beast mondi is, so ridiculously good at the game...best foreigner Z ever in bw imo (dimaga takes second with special mention for ret)

That was awesome, but i agree that more minimap shots would have made it easier to follow, especially with mondy's drop heavy style.

ah, the good old days when KwarK was more than a thug in some online world

I have never watched the replay before, but I must say from the BR it seems rather exciting. By examining the images alone, I feel like the game was fast paced and people were thinking on their feet. I really like this type of BR, its rather unique, but if I wasn't fairly experienced with Destination, it might have been hard to keep up. Regardless, the overlaying images (the energy of the DA for example) was amazing and well done. I do admit, like others, that I was peaking down a bit further just to see a minimap at times. Well done, that looked like a hell of a lot of work.

He's come a long way. Now as controller of the BoK (Bank of Kwark), he looks back upon such times as moments that prepared him for such great success elsewhere. For more excerpts from his biography click here.

That was a great game. But without the mini map, it feels like none of the players have bases. I'm wondering how Kwark lost that game though.

nice gfx, good use of the HD broodwar mod too
Other than a few slip-ups I followed it pretty well. And I don't even watch pro BW ^^
So not that bad
