HELL YEAH ARTOSISSSSSSS I LOVE YOUUUUUUU.

Missed it though since I watched the whole TI3 playoffs day 3. I felt Maru was gonna win since he has great preparation and that he's really really good. Grats to this amazing accomplishment. Second Flash incoming? or maybe he will become better. Also Maru: Kespa takes our GSL? I take your OSL.
hey man just curious

It's nice to see a 16 year old quasi royal roader win in an upset. This win means more to his career and life than it would to Rain, who is already considered a grandmaster and who probably makes over $100,000 per year on SK Telecom T1. I don't think the Prime players get any salary at all! So I can be happy for Maru. He played so well. He deserved the win -- even if he is a Terran player. :p

NOOOOOOOO Rain Goddamn it



It wasn't so much that Maru won, it was that Rain lost. The only game that he legit "won" believe it or not was the proxy rax game. Game 1 was the most beautiful PvT I've ever seen from Rain, in game 2 he defends all that cheeky bullshit. The other games were stupid bullshit from Rain that isn't characteristic from him. Game 4 he attacks into a concave and doesn't retreat when his army got empd. Game 5 he goes for a risky Immortal all in AFTER SCOUTING A TON OF MARINES AND A FAST THIRD CC, when he could have easily just gone for the late game and take a third and go for the aoe tech. Then in the last game he goes DT drop after scouting the same thing? When you're known for the most solid macro play in the game, why take retarded army engagements and do risky builds. Game 1 was the most impressive thing I've ever seen. DO THAT MORE OFTEN...


What the fuck. Yes iMad Congrats Maru, but please don't end up being another Jjakji so this isn't a total waste.

There are none but here is a recap

+ Show Spoiler +

Game 1: Macro game. Rain wins ezpz.
Game 2: 1/1/1 from Maru, as if that would ever work versus Planetary Nexus
Game 3: Proxy 2rax and SCV pull wins the day
Game 4: Macro game even throughout. Rain attacks into a concave on open ground, gets EMP'd to hell and bleeds to death on the counter.
Game 5: Rain tries an immortal all in, but Maru sees the proxy pylon and builds 5 bunkers. Attack fails, Maru has 3 CCs, and he macros an army to victory.
Game 6: Rain's DT drop is ineffective versus Maru's 3cc, Maru realizes (brilliantly) that Rain has no AOE. Maru attacks, Rain can't hold, gg.

LOL at the recommended games polls. It looks like the Prime fans have invaded the thread. Game 1 was a clinic on how to play PvT from the Protoss side.

so funny all say rain chokes on games. but look at maru. he used the same build as vs innovation game one. except he played it horribly. and rain played well. u dont talk bad about rain when maru loses. but u talk bad about maru when rain loses. seriously. if rain has nerve issues hes NOT a better player because like it or not. nerves are part of all humans. how they use them is up to them. rain used it to stray off the regular way he plays. and so did maru at the start. the difference. is maru fixed that in his own mind. and rain obviously did not. u cannot fault maru or say rain deserves it over him. thats utter blasphemy bye.. nooobs

Yeah, it's quite awful. I didn't watch the games Rain won, but those won by Maru aren't really worth watching at all, unless someone plans to make a doctorate in psychology by writing an essay entitled 'Mental collapsing in competitive sports'.

yo thats my writing style so i can understand what u say
people like to complain about protoss because they are placing very high in tournaments very regularly and people think protoss is very good against terran

problem is that this would not do for the rain fans, the people that support the player on the kespa team, the older, the protoss (protoss have not been winning tournaments much) and the player on the skt1 team (skt1 fans are pretty silly but there are a lot of them). and as it turns out rain fits all of those
now look at the recommended games. people, including lots of skt1 fans (again, they are very silly), believed rain would defeat maru 4-0 which is a pretty silly prediction if you think about it long enough, picking someone 4-0 is completely overdone and should only be done when someone is truly much better than the other.
anyway rain won the first two maps in the way people predicted it and therefore people felt sorry for maru and didn't complain about rain because people expected it

now maru, who is actually a better player than rain right now, won four matches in a row and people complain. why? because their favorite player lost in ways that people didn't expect maru to do. that is silly and it probably includes a lot of skt1 fans because they are the only people irrational enough to think maru is not a good player. these people thought that it would help their cause if they said bad things about maru which is even sillier.

you also raise a good point about nerves. maru has played this game enough times and is young enough that he can become a complete statue in terms of emotion as well as having lots of practice partners and being relevant for a long time, that's why you never see him reverse-swept or making uncharacteristic mistakes like many players.

congrats maru for your win
