For those complaining about ghosts, Watch Trap vs Jjakji consolation match for 5th place in GSL. Trap plays similar to Dear and while Jjakji doesn't have nearly the control of Maru, he is still in my opinion top 5 TvPer in the world. The ghost style isn't guaranteed to be any better against Dear than Maru's current style.

Yeah. The team is really failing its players by not providing a high level Protoss teammate to practice against. Scarlett would be unstoppable if she could play practice games all day with someone like Genius or even puCk. Both of those guys are free agents at the moment, by the way . . .

Dear is essentially a free agent since SouL is not sponsored.

After a certain point you kind of have to get ghosts no matter what style u play though.

Well no.
If things get that far and you went no ghosts/hellbats then it's over.

sitting and analyzing from relax room is easy but maru plays little bit like Life. multible attacks every direction. not too many units and block economy. if you can hold enough and stay calm like Dear u can handle but most of the players cant handle this

Well I've been hyping Dear as good since before he went to that MLG and had him on my SPL team like every round so I guess I can't be that upset that he's wrecking face now. I figured he would probably beat Maru again since Dear's PvT is just so good. Hoping for a Dear vs Soulkey finals.

Does Mike Morhaime sound like a 12 year old ? haha. (not trying to be offensive, just the voice + phone effect)

Many people seem to forget polt gets retardedly late ghosts as well. It's a stylistic choice to try and split opponents with multiprong attacks and pressure instead of relying on EMPs and snipes.

I play the same style, and lose games that I thought I won lol

also marauder can stand stomrs for a little more time

Will MMA allow himself a little smirk after this? Maru knocked him out of both the Season 2 finals and Season 3 finals, but suffers a similar fate at the hands of Dear.

I really wanted Maru to win and I think he showed again that he's a great fighter, but Dear is clearly superb and Maru was playing a style that really has a clock on it. I can kind of see why Maru plays without Ghosts though, as it suits his hyper-aggressive and mobile style and Ghosts can require a lot of baby-sitting, expensive and slow as they are.
