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

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

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




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)


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?

What 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 haven't shown anything worthy of the champion as of yet.

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.
