I still don't understand how could you possibly consider Maru's "Royal road" to be an achievement, just because this tournament happens to have the "OSL" sign on it. Maru has played in endelss GSLs, he is actually on of the most senior players that are still in the game (however absurd it is given his age). There is absolutely no point in keeping the continuity through the "OSL" label. It would have been reasonable if the OGN entered the SC2 scene right on the beginning, but that didn't happen and this is just silly.

Moving on, I am afraid that this will actually be a pretty onesided stomp. Rain has shown today that preparing weird builds against him is absolutely pointless. Still will be rooting for Maru, the boy of good old times.

Looking at the overall gameflow, I think Rain will take this.

Ah wow, I totally thought it was technical issues.

I'm just going to assume there are rules about it. I mean I'm sure there are break rules. Like you're allowed to have one. To pee, or stretch, or whatever.

Obviously it did him no good anyway. I'm not sure I know many people that would just calm right back down after such a 0-3 start to the series. Not just any 0-3 start, but that one specifically.

Rain was hyped as a royal road candidate in his initial GSL, but not for his initial OSL. It's just a funny thing tbh.

If Maru wins It'll be special because of his age, not because the label changed and he got royal roader on a technicality =P

Maru can take one or two games max off of Rain with cheese. No way he's gonna win 4 games with cheese. And we all know how hard it is for Terrans to beat Rain late game, but then again, who knows, maybe Maru's got what it takes to do just that.

Rain has this.
Now I don't think it will be that easy. Maybe not much different than against Bomber though, so I bet on a 4-1 for Rain but with some close games.

Fun fact guys: in this OSL's playoffs, whenever the Teamliquid preview named the players in the title, the predictions were wrong. Whenever the players weren't named in the title, the predictions were correct. Coincidence?

I think Rain can hold off Maru's cheese and tricks, and if it goes to a long macro game he'll win. I'll say Rain, 4-2.
