Don't you mean so say that, what they showed how mech sucks on maps where you can't secure 4-5 bases easily?

Maru just didn't understand Mech TvZ as well as Flash it seems like, he never switched into air, never had static defenses set up, no sensor towers, no missile turrets at key points. Basically meant he could never secure a fourth. Mass thors win against mutas in a head on fight but he was forced to split them because he never had those defensive positions set up and couldn't grow his viking / raven count.

there is still hope for some maru rofl stomping if it goes to the ace match

Every Terran likes playing Mech now vs T, so the early Roach builds are pretty good again ^_^ Nice play from Soulkey, still was a chance or two for Maru to do some heavier damage but was fun game. GGs
Im glad Maru if he was going to lose a game was to someone who is very good like Soulkey and not some random cheese win xD

MVP should play some zerg next week to show them noobs how to mech. Forget about Flash.

Now the question is, will sOs keep underperforming in Pl or manage to defeat Rain?
|
I think Maru should have made more vikings, but still such a good game! So who said mech is boring to watch?

not being aggressive vs mutas is a good start. SK just picked the right comp against what Maru was doing, if he just turtled after killing the 3rd it'd ve been a free win.

you can't pin down someone going for SH/muta/roach, pushing vs sh is way too hard and slow.

Flash seems to have his transitions and defends tighter than Maru when it comes to mech which is no great surprise. Good game though for sure
|
Man, the level of some of these proleague games is pretty damn high. It's definitely good for the game...

Except Soulkey did, with zerglings roaches and mutalisks, multiple times. Supply depot wall with tank and missile turret just crushes that. Maru had the tanks, just not the walls sensor towers or turrets. His fourth base choice basically meant that Soulkey was free to do what he wanted on his side of the map, compare with flash's fourth base choice and sim city which denied a base and secured the entire southern side of the map Maru just made a bad decision.
