wtf is this pocket man nickname?


I wonder as well.

They're ironically saying that maru is really tall


Is it another one of Wolf's "they call him pocket man" forced references?

No, the gg girls had it on there signs, it's pretty clear they saying his short, I shouldn't use sarcasm on the internet


Well yeh.. he's short.. but pocket man?

a few nice mine shots did seal it for him

the game was over the moment creator put down the 2 forges -.-
he lost on the exact same map some days ago against bbyong trying to play a macro game aswell.
the only difference was, that bbyong isn't maru, so the game lasted a bit longer

what does the SPL MVP leaderboard look like now?


Maru should be ahead of TY by two wins. Ahead of Creator (RorO too?) by 3.

Oh and I think FlaSh is on 9 wins too?

Well the mines made it much easier in the end.
Do you know how many games I've seen where terrans snipe the 2nd and 3rd of protoss and just die to the counter all in?

Mines definitely helped Maru here

I swear I must have seen another game.

well at the very end when creator was pushing out with 2-2 chargelots and a colossus against 1-0 bio, he kinda crushed maru's army til walking into the mine though, it could have been closer

To be fair, Maru was going for a macro game too... Creator just decided to die to early pressure.

So the weakness of protoss is that they tend to throw colossi away. I honestly wonder how the game would have looked if Creator had actually kept the first two colossi save.


I think the army trades evenly and Creator probably ahead due to upgrades. Maru drops to buy time for Vikings and creator gets Templar tech, then Maru gets ghosts and a few mines and it comes down to the big battle between mines, ghosts, storm.

Creator had 1 colossus when the fight at the watchtower happened. Not sure if he even had range. 1 colossus counter attack on cross spawn Frost is not scary at all.

Nah, creator lost multiple colossi. No way Terrans dies after sniping 2nd and 3rd goes down as well as 2 colo. Even with upgrade advantage, you still need to colo DPS.

THat is what I meant, Maru would have won the game due to the micro madness and creator overly greedy. The mines were unncesary buffed imho, it makes Zealots that cost 100minerals look like individual zerlings...

The mine buff is to counter Templar openings that rely heavily on mass Zealots with upgrades.

Against Collosus play with small Zealot numbers the Mines are completely unnecessary, against huge Zealot/Archon numbers is what they are intended to be used for.

See Dear vs Maru. That series shows just what the devs had in mind for them. It helps a lot at countering the sheer cost efficiency of Templar midgame builds.

Yeah but the thing is there are no options anymore for protoss, just one route tosses have to go for. robo -> colossi.

That hasn't been the case from what I've been seeing. Still seeing plenty of High Templar usage before Collosus tech, especially with how common Blink openings are Templar are the logical transition path if the all in fails or does damage enough to put you ahead.

And plus it isn't as though the Mines make Zealot/Archon play COMPLETELY unusable, it just helps the Bio force deal with it until Ghosts are able to be fielded.
