~ whole army, 1-2 army, 3 CCs, 4 rax, factories, starports, 5 factories, 6 starports, 7 engineering bays, armories, 8 CCs. In lategame with bio, ghosts, vikings etc he also uses 3 for some bit of his army. For camera I BELIEVE it would start from F2 and go to the right, since he uses F1 for idle workers. Im not 100% sure about the cameras tho. Also unsure if thats what you been asking for D:

Terran in WoL could basically be summed up as Mvp.

Terran in HotS was basically divided between Maru and Inno.

Terran in LotV has been split, but Inno really claimed 2017 as his own. Maybe Maru can do the same for 2018?

Alot of these players may have been better with altered hotkey profiles but take in mind alot of pros also come from BW or from practicing with standard for a long time, I think Maru's hotkeys work really well for him but you may want to look into something that works for you :p
Maru is the best Terran ever.

yeah I think it is comfy once you get used to it. most pros use it, especially in lategame when you need more than 2 control groups for your army, that's when putting your CC on 8 comes in useful

Maru has already the terran king a few times. Late 2013 through to 2014 he was the best, even in 2015 him and Life were pretty much undesputed as the best players. For most of HoTS Inno rose to the top for like one season at a time.

wrong, even when Maru was on his peak, no one considered him above Inno except his fans. He was praised more of being a high-light maker rather than a dominant force like Inno was

I think right now it is incorrect to argue that Maru is not the best Terran at the moment. IEM and WESG Results show that Inno lost 2-0 to Dark while Maru won 4-3. Additionally, Maru has without a single doubt the strongest Terran late game. While I do think he was super dominant back in 2014 and 2015 I think 2018 is currently his strongest year so far.

That's just ridiculous. Maru was the best terran in late 2013 by any objectve measure. His streak of 5 or 6 ro4s in a row elevated him above Inno, who, while he dominated the first half of 2013, had dropped of a little.

Inno was irrelevent for the first part of 2014 as well. He didn't even qualify for Code S while Maru was the only terran in GSL playoffs and one of the top players in proleague.

As far as 2015 goes, Inno didn't really come back in full force until the last season. For the first run of the year, Maru and Life were considered the best players by most people here on TL as well as the casters.

There's a reason Inno was called a patchterran for all of HoTS, he would literally be irrelevent for some seasons only to win GSL in the next one. I suggest you look up their results from these times, or go watch Stuchio's series on sc2 history (which is actually really good). If you think Maru was just a highlight maker then you need to stop watching highlights and start looking at results.

Inno is my favorite Terran, but I'll be the first to acknowledge that Maru's recent form is definitely better. However, Maru is my second favorite Terran and I think he generally displays more entertaining games.

For basically all of HotS, the best Terran was either Maru or Inno and they divided it almost perfectly, where Maru was strong in late 2013, early 2014, and early 2015 whereas Inno was strong in early 2013, late 2014, and late 2015. The biggest distinction was always that Maru was strong when Terran wasn't and Inno was strong when Terran was.

At the end of the day though, this usually meant that Maru died after a strong run while Inno took home the trophies–while they always were and still are close in skill, there's no denying that Inno is more accomplished. There is after all, a reason why Inno and not Maru is in the running for GOAT.

Inno's amazing 2017 really widened the gap between them, but Maru's current form might be a sign of things to come in 2018.



By the way, they are playing each other on stream at this very moment with Inno up 2-1 on Maru after some brutal Marine/Tank slugfests.

EDIT: Make that Inno 3-1 Maru, and he just ended the stream

Impossible, after the proxy reaper game, Inno went into the score screen and showed everyone his opponent's #2 GM rank. That's when I checked sc2unmasked and saw Maru at #2. He's dropped a bit further since then, but Inno and Maru are still the only Terrans in the top 10.

Byun is nowhere near 6900 mmr, why would you think it's him?

Oh, okay, sorry for that. I really thought it was Byun because two days ago he was #1 with the same numbers. He showed his hidden acc on stream. I thought Byun is back kinda.

Oh yeah in terms of results Inno is certainly ahead of Maru (overall). I was just saying the idea that Maru has never been the #1 is ridiculous. Him and Inno took turns as the king for all of HoTS.
