I would have cried if he failed at drop defense like he did against Bomber, this is much nicer

All you need is a single cannon. hey man, protoss is the only race where you can win a game simply making buildings and probes This just in, you literally do not need to build units as toss. /s
I believe he is referring to the possibility of cannon rushes.

one thing ill give maru props for is scanning before committing any drop into the opponents base, like he saved himself plenty of times from this series alone from doing that
most terran's i see just medi-boost and pray

What you're doing is justifying Innovation's cheese tactics by saying he has a good standard game to fall back on with the implication being that Maru doesn't. I can guarantee you, if we were watching Innovation vs Rain we'd also be seeing cheese builds from Innovation. Why? Because Rain is too fucking good if you try and just play him straight up, no Terran in their right mind wants to play him the way he's most comfortable if they actually want to beat him. Supernova didn't, Bomber didn't, Maru isn't and Innovation wouldn't either. it has nothing to do with how good Maru isn't, it has everything to do with how good Rain is. INnoVation cannot beat Rain in macro? http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?section=hots&type=players&id=663&part=games&vs=697&league=standard&map=any&from_year=2013&from_month=3&from_day=15&to_year=2013&to_month=8&to_day=3&action=UpdateWhat the fuck are you talking about. And as said, yes Maru doesn't have an equally good macro game compared to INnoVation in TvP, like it or not, thats how it is and thats what we saw on for example Akilon.
I didn't say that Innovation couldn't beat Rain in a macro game, I never even implied it.
I'm saying that if you are playing a Bo7 against Rain you're going to incorporate cheese builds into it. You aren't going to play macro games in all 7 games and win 4 of them. What we've seen so far this series is a macro game, a failed timing and 1 cheese build. It's not something you can pick on Maru over. This series has been very normal so far.

Maru looking better this game for sure

Maru haven't shown anything worthy of the champion as of yet. he beat innovation 4-0.  Yeah in a series where innovations brain fucking imploded. It's impossible that Maru was smarter, far more likely that Innovation inexplicably became bad for the duration of one series, yes? Pretty much, Innovation just played poorly Which would mean that he is not championship material either - do you agree with this?
No. How does that even make sense. Maru played better in this one series, and he out mindgamed innovation. He therfore deserves this final. But in a bo100 i would put innovation waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay above maru every time. And in a game against rain he has way way way better chances than maru.

Anaconda was cheese.... if you don't see that sorry you don't know anything about TvP. INnoVation really doesn't cheese in TvP, because there's not really much you can do. Thats why macro and timings are the way to go.

Maru got his ghosts in more timely fashion this game, looks more stable than the first two.
