I think winning 3 GSL back to back is far more impressive than a blizzcon

Absolutely. I am happy with Serral's victory but it blew my mind with some comments in the LR thread undermining Maru's recent wins and status.

GSLs are considered the biggest achievement in Starcraft 2 for a reason.

All the top Koreans took it easy this week. It was their week off from GSL basically. Too bad they didn't expect Serral to be the real deal (recall how they were all surprised that Serral was playing well). Blizzcon will be a different result.

Probably true to some extent. But given the state of sc2 in korea, an event with $100K prize pool should be at least mildly motivating. Maybe not to Maru, Rogue, or INno, but the rest of them like Stats and Dark seem to try for every offline event.

Maru said that his aim is Blizzcon. Don't think that he's going to be serious even at gsl s3. You can't play all year like a madman. You need to save some energy (secrets, there's not so much time for preparation) for the last shoot. And don't forget about 2018 Asian Games (mid-August). He is in.

He said he wants to win the 3 GSLs and blizzcon. There's a decent stretch of time between them as well. I'd imagine he tryhards for season 3, flops in supertournament again, then shows up for blizzcon (hopefully anyway, it's not really his kind of tournament).

It's physically impossible to do.

I think his tvz won't be good enough to beat any strong zerg tbh, unless he can somehow 2 rax everybody. His usual pushes don't seem to work anymore and lategame seems to be slightly zerg favored without any realiable aoe for terran.
Still hoping for the 3 gsl titles though ofc, would be unreal but i don't see it tbh.

His TvZ wasn't great last season but he found success against Rogue in the ro8 with the 2-1-1 tank push. That build doesn't really work anymore but hopefully he comes up with something that works again.

I think he can beat anyone from group B except Dark.

I mean TvZ is definitely Z favored at the moment. The thing is that Leenock and Dark most likely will not be in ro8. That means his only obstacle is Rogue. I believe in Maru to do it, especially in a best of 7.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

I sincerely think that Maru knows at this point that his 2-1-1 into tank push is figured out and doesnt work vs good zergs. I think he has been playing mech and maybe making another powerful bio build. The fact that he did it vs Raynor is because he thinks he can destroy Raynor ez (obviously Reynor is better player than that and Maru shouldn't underestimate him).

But did you saw Maru´s mech? That was beautiful

Absolutely agreed. I almost get a heart attack watching Maru bust out the 2-1-1 tank build each time knowing it's gonna get so hard countered. Probably he has something more up his sleeve.

I really really want to see Maru wins either GSL s3 or Blizzcon. Hopefully both but it will be extremely hard.

GSL s3 will be difficult, TvZ seems in favor of zerg at the moment and you can't pull your way through zergs with fancy builds forever.

In TvT and TvP I feel like he can beat anyone, even Gumiho or Stats.

Yeah he was at the korean press conference for the asian games. The auto-translate subtitles are a bit too wacky to decipher though so I'm not sure what he was saying.
