Maru beats Innovation and Rain for his title, and people will still call it a fluke.


He 4-0'd Innovation to get to this point and this thread is full of people calling it a fluke. Of course they're going to call this a fluke, too. Just laugh at them and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing they're idiots.



you know. There were guys like you who told me that Sniper totally was going to get at least 5 gsls.


how foolish do you have to be to compare late-WoL Zerg titles to current championship wins?


Not foolish at all. Sniper was a fluke just like Jjakji or Seed. (and many other who made it to the finals and lost it, aka Genius, july, inca, Top, TsL_Rain). As you can see, those flukes happened through the entire history off SC2 and will happen again. Maru over performed, and he got kinda lucky with his opponents not playing up to their full potential. That does not take anything away from his victory, he deserves it, and deserves to be proud. He still will have to prove that he can hang with the best of 'em consistently.


Jjakji was not a fluke....how dare you call my favourite T a fluke!

I would say none of those players were flukes, they just kind of fell off. Most of them we know actually stopped practicing hard after their win.

hm, not really a fan of the series, rain had some kind of mental breakdown that reminded me of bomber.


I'm actually surprised at how so few people seem to mention this. This is the entire story of these finals.

Of course an extremely slick Terran play from Maru starting from game 4 kinda "helped", but still. Rain is confident, wins two easy games, gets cheesed, loses control, loses everything else. No game was even close.

This is why the BW bonjwas were so amazing. They had some actual mental fortitude.


It seems similar to what happened to Rain last season vs. Innovation in the Rd 32 -- he played an excellent series over Bogus to get into the winner's match vs Gumiho, then was taken by surprise in the first match of that series and proceeded to fall apart, losing to both Gumiho and then Bogus 2-0 each in the winner's & final matches.

In a plot twist, Creator turns out to be the least successful of the prodigies.

I don't know why people use to undervalue the win of 2012 korean WCS. it was a tournament where EVERY top player of that time participated. so it means as much as a GSL.

Royal Roader for OSL.


isn't OSL/GSL/WCS the same thing??



Nope.


then why the format is basically the same and the better placed players of the OSL seeded to the next GSL???

Blizz controls prize money for WCS, unfortunately.

yes i know, guys. that's what i am sort of complaining about. it takes away the meaning osl and GSL had before.

In that regard Maru should really be given props for not completely falling apart after looking like he was going to be the fastest 4-0'ed finalist yet. Game 4 had to have been so shaky after failing all harass just before he landed the clutch EMP's.


the mental game is the story of finals. even when each game taken individually is not great, some of the series can still rise above and be remembered because of the narrative that bound everything together. this was not a top tier series in that respect, but it was a lot better than people are giving it credit for.
