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. Did Mvp ever lose control like this? I can't remember. Game 7 vs Life he did a weird attack but I just think it was a bad call, thinking he teched/droned more and had less units. | ||

Based on Twitter... Mr. Chae, apparently. Jungwon Chae @GSL_Chae FYI Maru attended 2010 GSL Open Season 1 and qualified to Ro.64 He is one of the most experienced player in SC II scene. | ||

well to be honest many of us thought this kid could be the flash of sc2 or something (in a very vague way, of course) then there was even a counter-wave of slight disappointment and then he became a top Prime force and could have been expected to win something big soon | ||

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. I'll delete inca, top and rain from your list (SC2 was too far from being settled) and am willing to forget the fact that you've just called July a fluke. Sniper was playing Zerg and had a fine mirror match-up, that's what got him his title. Seed and especially Jjakji are a lot harder for me to explain though (luck on draws with Jjakji not getting to face any T in the playoffs?). Let alone all of this, Maru has been here forever, has had a very progressive and noticeable learning curve and is mechanically/strategically a much more impressive player than all the ones mentionned above (except for July, this goes w/o saying). I'm pretty sure he's not a fluke. | ||
