Yes and no.
Seeing as all those players are actually different people with different qualities, needs etc.
Empirically you're right. However, it would be dependent on how well the 'ex-esf'ers' have adapted to the kespa conditions. Some will be able to cope better/worse than others.
For now, it's not exactly a stretch to call the kespas the better players overall. While the skill level is still kinda close(between most players at least), the gap will most likely grow wider over time as it did with foreigners & esf'ers, especially considering how well kespa has caught up.

But of course that is my reasoning, and I guess we can just agree to disagree.
On the other hand I do like the Terran Triple Threat staying together. Just waiting for the other two get back up there... any time now...

Maru playing against

KangHo in WCS KR OSL next. Maru has already clinched 1st in the group but they should be fun games nonetheless!

I think we should be ready for some crazyness. Because the games don't matter for either of them, Maru may pull out the showmaster inside of him :D

if Maru beats Symbol, then he goes to the season 2 finale right?

Maru ♥♥♥ :-)

I think he has a chance against Symbol. He just has to be very careful against those baneling busts ^^

I've inherited the fan club and I'm working on fixing up the OP. Just post stuff here that you think should be added or suggestions

I went through and updated the fanlist starting from where Steveling asked to be signed up as he was the last name listed. If I missed you and or if you want to sign up just ask to be signed up.

added OSL VODs for Ro32 (soO, EffOrt, sOs) and Ro16 (Trap and SuperNova). Didn't see the KangHo games up yet

added aligulac profile and updated achievements

Whoah... Maru vs Symbol round of 8, sounds doable.

If he can beat Symbol and will face Innovation I even think he can make it to the finals. (I think SoulKey would be harder opponent for Maru than Innovation) Ofc he is HUGE underdog but just what if that happen

OptimusPrime incoming? I hope rest of prime will follow Maru

I think nerfing hellbats will help Marineking in TvT

i think Maru has a really good chance to beat Symbol, but i don't think he has the skill to take out Innovation or Soulkey

he definately has the skill to beat anyone. He came close to knock out soulkey in season one. He can definately do it!

Maru was a player I'd long categorised as rather overhyped due in part to his youth. Glad to have been proven wrong this season, showing real mental fortitude to go with his undoubted potential. Sign me up!
