@ the Super Tournament discussion
It was not a random tournament, it was the 64 players with the most GSL points (or whatever it was called at the time) and was a month long tournament. In the first half of the year, tons of interviews had people being like "I'm so glad I won today so that I am closer to qualifying for the super tournament" or whatever, much in the same way that people would talk about wanting to win stuff for the purpose of qualifying for the Blizzard Cup and not necessarily for winning the actual tournament.
And Polt did get a badge.

Uh................ what....?
Congrats to Maru!?!?

If the best player in the world gets 4-0'd by "cheese", then "cheese" is clearly the ultimate strategy in Starcraft 2, and that makes Starcraft 2 bad.

Rebroadcast is live now, in the middle of G2 if anyone's interested. I like how Chobra pronounces "Hellion".

There's no need to read too much into the result of this match imo. IIRC, Innovation had problems in TvT before hellbats became mainstream and it's obvious that he's now trying to "figure out" the matchup again. It's not a surprise that an "immature" metagame would favor an aggresive/cheesy player like Maru more than Innovation, who is super predictable and greedy (Even to the point of being a bit thick headed). Well played by Maru indeed, but I still think Innovation is overall the better player and I see no reason he should not be favored to win the global season finals.
|
The way Chobra says "Gerrard" is quite bizarre as well.
|
INnoVation being greedy again and Maru has some neat builds.

I don't agree with this logic. Every player has weaknesses, every player has holes.
If anything, what this result says is that excellent preparation beats raw mechanics.
Also, that Innovation could use some mental toughening up.

By this logic BW is bad since yellow got cheesed by Boxer, 3x bunker rush.
If you are the best player in the world you should know that people aren't gonna be like hey im gonna go try to take him down in a regular game,no they will most likely play gimmick strategies! so instead of trying to blind counter stuff, or just have crappy scouting you should put all your effort into it. Seeing as you know you are the better player in regular games, just make sure to play regular games.

Wombat, don't let your IRA tendencies take hold too strongly, it'll hurt ESPORTS.

Not Maru's fault that Innovation just refused to adapt to what Maru was doing.

Well, I sure woke up to some results. Looks like the MarinePrince is taking the throne as the new MarineKing, makes me totez emosh right now

You're on your last warning too. Death with a rusty butterknife if I catch a repeat of such unforgivable phraseology.

Bogus lost?
I'm....
actually happy with the result.
Take that for beating soulkey.
Also, it's a very good boost for the morale-stricken Primeclan(tm)
|
Lol wowwwww, I got tired last night so I didn't watch. Was expecting the exact OPPOSITE result.
Our little Maru is in the OSL finals. Wow.
|
what the hell... I gotta watch these games now
|
Just finished watching the vods and im laughing my ass of.
Credits to Maru for 4-0ing motherf**ing Bogus!
But in all honesty, it shouldnt matter that TvT is his "worst" matchup, if you are the best player in the world you shouldnt get 4-0ed like that Oo. Fun games, not awesome or great but entertaining!
