Feels so weird when Maru is called a veteran, even if he is one. But he is so young and maybe even smaller then me. But the series were grand. Especially the finishing move by Maru. Felt to me like a fatality move: "I can copy you and still crush you since I know everything about you ... everything"

I would have loved to see Maru Bio vs Innovation MarineTank though.
Maybe in the seasonal Finals, but there are still a few Terran heavy hitters left in both NA/EU that could go there as well. But Innovations goto strat when he gets beaten up in TvT is gone and I can't remember a longer series where he didn't need it. Hopefully he can adjust his play.

Maru has some of the best micro I've ever seen. I wish I could remember who he was playing and when, but I remember watching some games of his like 8 months ago or something where he was defending a roach/bane all in and he was down to like a single marauder and a few medivacs maybe and held vs more than a dozen roaches with some of the most insane micro I've ever seen. It was in Code A I remember. And I remember this series he played against a protoss in which he used a lot of incredible ghost/nuke tactics that were super impressive. I've also always noticed how much of a stone cold killer this kid is. I feel like I've been watching him in GSL for 2 years, and I've NEVER seen him look nervous in the booth. Dude has a bright future.

I'm not convinced Innovation is the best player in the world anymore. 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


eh you can be the best without being absolutely dominant, you just have to be better than everyone else by whatever margin


getting slaughtered in a bo 7 by a player that has never won anything but the heart of some fans will not help though



Before WCS Season 1 Global Finals, INnoVatioN had never won anything... Yet, he steamrolled Flash and Life, and that wasn't considered "upsets" at all....

When will people stop considering that only a tournament win gives you credit ? And let's speak of Jjakji, Seed, and Sniper, yeah...

I was channeling my inner nerd, staying up playing some games, and as I went to sleep Maru vs Innovation started, and I turned it on to watch while I fell asleep. Then I proceeded to watch all four games. Holy shit Maru, I hope you win it all!

Fortunately he didn't make you stay up for very long!
Hope he takes it as well!

I wonder how the Korean players reacted to Maru stomping Inno like that heh.

The way I saw it was that the Raven was kind of half-measure. In the "I should play greedy, or should I? Yeah, or... Well, I'll just make a Raven and hope things work out"-kind of way

Even though the skill level of Maru (and of INnoVation as well) is far beyond any question, don't you guys regret to see cheesing be rewarded even at the highest level? All things equal I will always support the guy who macroes against the one who cheeses, i.e who plays dirty to secure an easier win.

Don't get me wrong I'm not suggesting Maru couldn't have won without it. I'm just a little skeptical on the efficiency of cheesy tactics.

He's a well-known league player who never changed up his style during his years as a professional which hurt his team in the end. He's retired now but at the time of his retirement his style was considered extremely archaic.
