Suddenly becomes a champion. well creator and life had pretty much the same storylines before that haha | ||

Parting with your dignity is small price to pay. You guys are soo bad, I'm departing this thread. At least you are parting us with your head held high. That is soo difficult for many of us these days. | ||

I felt the same way at first and was ready to write it off as a fluke but him making it back to the ro4 the next season is pretty convincing. and beating down rain in the finals was pretty sweet too | ||

I think it also has to do with the way he plays... he is like MVP, he just forces out the wins, not like Innovation, brute forcing on sheer mechanics. But seeing this "forcing" from Maru, it somehow still feels a bit gimmicky. Maru is a great player though! | ||

Besides, now you still have what, 4-5 GSL/OSLs (?), same amount seasonal finals, 1 global final, WCG korea (if anyone cares about that), plus the couple foreign tournaments that still matter, like dreamhack finals. We lack a good united teamleague, but that seems plausible in 2014 with all these teams going down the pooper. | ||

I only started thinking it might've been a fluke because of his season finals performance. >_< But I'm totally onboard the Maru train now. | ||
