Analysis

Match in VOD link starts at 1:05:05

In this match, Dark opens very safely with gas, pool before hatch possibly because at the Blizzcon finals against a Terran player (ByuN) he was killed off with a 3rax reaper cheese which might still be weighing on his mind. He then starts getting queens as he can afford them/ when his hatcheries finish, and also gets Ling Speed as soon as he has enough gas. For scouting, Dark gets a couple of lings and Overlord speed (35) so he can scout what his opponent is doing. Very soon after, he gets a hatch at the 3rd, starts a lair and 3 additional extractors within a few seconds so that he can afford to produce Roach/ Ravager.

Innovation is going for a 2 medivac stim drop so Dark starts getting roach/ Ravager for defence at about 4 minutes while producing 1/2 more queens for creep spread etc.

At (71) Dark gets 2 evo chambers and gets missile attack 1 aswell as armour 1 before going for Roach speed, burrow and tunneling claws so that Dark can tunnel his roaches around sneakily to each base if the opportunity arises. _(In this particular match, Innovation is trying to push as Dark is getting these upgrades but it doesn't affect his timing of them)_
