I've just watched the vods. Fantastic mindgames by Maru. And his control looks razor sharp.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

well, the path is open for Rain to win it all--despite his performance today, I think Maru is beatable, and Bomber will likely beat himself

WTF happened here. Results got spoiled for me so I haven't watched vods yet. Maru that good?


Hard to say, Innovation was just extremely unlucky all over the place and always missed seeing the important things. But Maru did make great decisions all the time and his unit control was also spot on.
Looked to me like Innovation didn't expected Maru to be that good. And when he stopped being impressed he was out. Team Prime analyzed Innovations vs T really well it seems and found a hole to abuse. (Let him defend the first wave and prepare a stronger second wave, because when he defended something he goes into full macro mode)


I see it differently. Innovation played poorly 3 times (luck had no part in those losses) and had 1 BO loss. Im happy maru won, because i didnt like all the innohype. I think inno is still good but mostly in tvz.... and certainly not tvt.. he was a hellbat, without them he is mediocre.. that patch didnt do him well...

I believe it isnt Maru that played outstanding it was Inno that didnt preform well. Deserved win for maru and deserved loss for inno.

What, KT finally gonna spend their sponsorship money to buy Rain?

This gave me a good laugh. Sure buy up the guy who hasn't won a playoff game in SC2. It'll help out your 0-4 losing streaks.

Well, KT has done a lot of that stuff lately.

You can also bargain for the transfer price if he's not doing that good.

Still worried about Prime getting picked apart by the highest bidder when the trade embargo ends :/

Holy shit, what kind of series did I just watch? Innovation looked really baaad and shaky, did the hellbat nerf affect him that badly? Or is it that he didn't prepare at all for the match due to PL finals coming up? Maru is really good at preparing, you can't just do your normal stuff when you're up against him or at least play super safely.

Well, if the winner of Bomber/Rain prepares sufficiently, they should take it, except if Maru pulls another miracle, but I'll doubt it.

He said in his interview from the RO8 that he had plenty of time to extensively prepare for Proleague and OSL and even skipped IEM Shanghai for more practice

Maru's TvT is good, though, so I expect a pretty fun match if Bomber makes it through. Not as big a walkover as you're making it sound. Dunno about Maru's TvP, but Maru sounds more confident against Rain than against Bomber, so I expect it to be pretty good as well.

I wonder how empty the venue will be though, ahahaha. D:

I can just imagine Maru's practice now.

MKP: CC first man.

Byun: You gotta pull scvs at 15 dude.

Gerrard: Could you please model this new hat?

The door busts down as Maka enters the prime house for the first time in 2 years.

Maka: I have come from the past to tell you to 1 base like he who was formerly known as OPtimus.

Polt was more known for his two-base timings than his one-base all-ins, yeah?

Having BYUN and MKP as practice partners must go a long fucking way....

Maru's timings were legit though. His first drop in game 2 came exactly at 6min. Nobody can deny his execution is what carried him to victory, not the builds.

Polt won his GSL finals on 1 base builds.

Just watched the VODs, great strategy by Maru exploiting Innovations habitual lack of scouting. If you go CC first or a quick expand, why in the hell would you not scout early with the series on the line, baffles my mind. I think Innovation is the better overall player(all 3 match ups and mechanics) but Maru did what he had to do and played the player.
