People keep saying that maru is the best terran in the world, but I think Taeja is better. Maybe classic is way better than any of the players taeja has faced...Maru army positioning and decision making seems to be a weakness.

Taeja doesn't play any competition anywhere near what Maru faces.

Taeja is a top level Terran, but he'd get fucking WRECKED if he played in the GSL.

There's a reason he doesn't.

Taeja hasn't won a single season of WCS America. That says all you ever need to know about how good Taeja actually is vs competitive competition.


Taeja was one of the strongest Code S players before WCS system. Very consistent.

I think he would still be a code S regular if he stayed in korea, probably ro8 or better material.


It's easy to look as though you're in top form when you're against inferior opponents.

Taeja hasn't played anything like what Maru faces in KESPA Code S Protoss players.

Taeja isn't up to that level. When it comes down to play at Blizzcon Taeja will prove this. He isn't up to this level, not even close. He wins because he plays in a lot of tournaments, not because those tournaments have competition that are up to his level.


Such a crock of shit, disregarding his dismantling of Korean Protoss players on numerous occasions in the recent past and he looks in close to his best shape ever of late.


Korean Protoss like who? Hero?

Every time I watch Maru he does something where I'm like "NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" and then he just wins anyway.... This guy is just too fucking good :D

wrong. terran was prepared with 2 turrets and marines. too bad oracles can get free kills anyway because it zips around like lighting. i didn't know that probes + MSC = defended location.

Sweet old school play from Maru. This has been a good series. Time for my 4 - 2 Maru prediction to come true.

Maru with the sick riposte..

I love how he poked at three different areas, found a weakness and then just drove him into that weakness. Protoss can't fight in several small groups I feel and Maru seemed to have taken advantage of that. The amount of damage that drop did, beautiful.

Pretty much go into lategame PvT where Protoss has the advantage. Problem is preventing Maru from killing you before that.

why wasting money on phoenix instead of cannons on the ledge of the main base? he should have like 6 cannon and be saved instead of using phoenix to kill medivacs, classic decision on this map was really bad.
How may help u?

No fucking idea what you guys are on about. Nowhere do races have to have equal (whatever the fuck that means in SC2) harass opportunities at all points in the game. More to the point, stop the BS quibbling, please. It's a great series. Enjoy it.

Maru deserves to win this imo, what he has to do to win is more impressive than how Classic wins his games
