His tendency to die to every early attack he faces should prevent the title of "The Best" for being applied to him. At the very least it should make the top of SC 2 a much more crowded position. He's still the single last player I want on the other side of the map after 15 minutes though. I Liquibet Maru because I figured he would be able to cheese Innovation 2 or 3 times and then win 1 or 2 macroish games. Never would have thought 4-0 There's nobody better than him at the moment, and he's defended against early pressure/cheese builds multiple times. | ||

G4 would´ve been a macro game if innovation wouldnt had F/up and roasted all of his marines in his first push of the whole series. | ||

I remember watching Maru vs Symbol last week and being really impressed by the marine splits vs banelings. Then came Innovation vs Soulkey and while Innovation did a lot of great things, his micro (especially marine splits vs banelings) seemed significantly worse than Maru's. Maru played to his own strengths against Innovation and took all four games convincingly because of it. edit: Maru is a royal roader in the OSL, but not GSL or WCS. | ||

But i guess it's mostly nerves and his reminder to dat finals. | ||

Really Terran only has two cheese builds: proxy 2 rax into bunkers and proxy marauder with conc shells.... Innovation was terrible last night with scouting... That said...What a beautiful series, such a story!!~~ Maru was super!!~~ | ||

But to Maru's credit, he excuted well. I find it hard to believe INnoVation didn't prepare at least a little bit for this match, but I can't explain why INnoVation played pretty greedily considering Maru's track record of cheesing and after the first 2 games his lack of thorough scouting just confused me. But it's easy to be super hard on him I guess considering he lost 4-0, so you're right he doesnt deserve that much criticism. | ||

I'm sure Innovation will win the Season 2 finals, especially because he'll never fail to prepare again after experiencing such an embarrassing loss. At least if he's smart, which he obviously is. I'm curious to see if Maru can take it. He's been in the SC2 scene for so long, fading in and out of the GSL for almost three years. It would be incredible if he won just because of how out of left field his sudden ascension through the OSL has been, even more so because he'll be the youngest Royal Roader in history. | ||
