Take 2 shots if the thread is debating whether it was cheese or "punishing Rain's greed".

Is there somewhere a summary of the first 3 games lying around? Thx in advance.


Game 1: Very standard PvT, Rain taking a late third. Maru unable to hold 4 colossus+storm push.

Game 2: Maru harasses with hellions and banshees, does some damage here and there but also loses some SCV to stalker counterattacks. Maru tries to go to 3 bases, dies to stalker counterpressure.

Game 3: Maru wins with 11/11 vs bad stalker micro and no MSC.

much appreciated, thank you very much

Innovation seemed to be the only one who doesn't pull SCV though.


No he does.

I specifically remember at least 3 games where he pulled SCVs in the midgame to win.

Artosis described it as, knowing he was just far enough ahead to go for the killing blow. Nothing cheesy about it.

Just goes to show what a little bit of good o'l caster bias does to a player's perception of a strategy.


Innovation doesn't cheese, he does strategic timing attacks


AKA "a player I like cheesing"

Also didn't he 11/11 Soulkey in the last finals as well? Pretty hilarious fanboyism there.


Innovation doesn't cheese, he uses exquisitely tuned timings to exploit the ebb and flow of the game and the weaknesses of his opponent in a game that rewards godlike play such as his

Which is why he got owned by Maru


He does cheese from time to time, but he has more to offer than just that and seems like Maru has not (at least not TvP)


This is such shit.

Maru did not get this far by just cheesing. He dominated the hell out of Symbol in macro games and won through his group mostly on Macro games also. His only victory through cheesing was Innovation, and let's be honest here with how greedy Innovation played that series he fucking deserved what he got.

Maru is being totally disregarded in this thread, his level of play is at the highest I've ever seen from the kid. His making it this far was no fluke and it definitely wasn't because he didn't deserve it.


Rain was and is heavily favored for a reason.


I'm not saying he isn't I know that.

But it's one thing to praise Rain's play and another to bash Maru which is what Naruto and others are doing in this thread.

I mean I get people are salty that he beat Innovation, but they can blame Innovation's greediness for that, don't blame Maru for doing what was working.


If pointing out that INnoVation is outstanding Terran and Terran vs Protoss is Maru-bashing to you, I think you need to work on understanding other people. ... :x

I'd rather say that Maru was really scared failing to do his stuff, he just didn't play his game plan IMO.
