Winning is all that really matters in a series such as this one. Maru might have indeed used cheese, but it's up to Innovation to play carefully and not be greedy, especially since Innovation has the reputation to be a true macro monster.
To be fair, there's no reason to try to beat someone on their own terms. So there was no reason for Maru to try to best Innovation in a macro game; he had to try something else. Preparation, mind games and early cheese work well against macro-oriented players who are known to open with greedy builds. Arguably, opening with greedy builds is cheese in itself as someone playing standard will be behind.
@aando, thanks for clearing it up. I knew of the player but I didn't understand why there was a reference to him
