Why did Curious get such a fast hive to play infestor ling ? His upgrades were even very late. Curious had this won when maru was sitting back taking a third after fast tanks with no pressure. :/
Curious Ever since the code a finals he has been playing like complete dogshit, with a painful insistence on counter-attacking even when he has enough forces to clear the army out on the map. It's interesting, lastshadow said curious used to practice a ridiculous amount when he crushed code a, maybe things changed :S
I'm happy to see KSL put atleast 480p for free. I don't have any trouble watching in this resolution. 360p is just so much worse in comparaison. 720p and higher are just the shiny things you don't really need to enjoy the game.

Curious has never looked good in ZvT though...
<____<
It used to be his best match up.

Maru's transitions are crazy, reminds me of watching Polt play mech vs Zerg, went for a huge swap back into bio later in the game...then Symbol killed him with the greatest baneling bomb in history.

There is the LDLC Winter Trophy at the same time and the team superstars (Bomber & MKP) aren't playing yet so maybe that's why. Plus there is always less people on LR threads for these tournaments, despite the high level of competition we have! And then people will wonder how MorroW can lose to MaruPrime because they don't know him

LIES! Nobody ever visits KSL LR threads. See the other threads, this thread is more successful than the others. Seriously.
We're just absorbed by the good gameplay! Maru going HAM on ST, nobody can stop him. Was there a particular reason that Virgil stopped doing these LRs? Or he just has too much on his plate?
Holy shit. This Maru boy is a genius. I wonder if he can pull off an all-kill now, that would be great (the last player for Startale will probably be Parting or July)
Btw, as Khaldor said: unbe-fucking-lieveable Maru xD

Yeah. Prime is becoming so strong as a team that their players can't play because everyone of them is good enough to pull the all-kill crazy shit Classic must be sad to always open up for Prime and lose :/ but he'll gather experience!
Prime are pretty amazing. They pretty much lost their best/second best player in Polt, their third best player at the time in HongUn, and a ton of their depth players like Maka, Check, Anypro, etc. and they're still better than ever. Maru, BboongBboong, Byun and Creator are all Code S potential talent.

Maru looks amazing but more like someone who's better in a lot of BO1s than one BO3 or BO5. His play is KINDA cheesy one way or the other. Not saying it's a bad thing though, I as terran would kill to learn to both cheese and transition so efficiently

amazing play by maru really good and fast decision making. Was scared for a moment in the last game as the vikings got focus fired first it seems, but it was just an uncontrolled tank that died in time leaving the vikings there damaged but alive, still dishing out their high damage. (close to what an unsieged tank does)

anypro isn't on Prime anymore?
...and those are all Code A, except for Byun, who is not even on the GSL.
Two all-kills in one day is pretty much an amazing results for Prime. And they only used one of their "star" players in MKP; Creator and Byun not even had a chance to show off. They are slowly but steadily becoming one of the best Korean teams. Good for them
