(1799) Flash 0-0 sOs (2062) Estimated by Aligulac. Modify. If Flash can proove this prediction wrong then it ll be a bright day for him and KT and this win will be remembered. He will really have to play his best though... | ||

In case of 3-2 situation in such an important game, Maru is probably the most likely to perform strongest under pressure! He's Mister I don't give a fuck ! | ||

Yeah, I think this is partly it. Also, I think he can be seen as a safe pair of hands to stave off an ace match in the event Jin Air are a game up before he plays; or, he can secure the ace match if they're a game behind, and maybe come straight out as the ace player immediately afterwards. I think it's quite a smart choice. | ||

It's what makes him very unpredictable and even more intimidating as an apponent. He can beat you lategame with ease, so you might want to secure every advantage you can get. Sadly, he is more than willing to completely destroy you with an aggressive opening. It's what keeps his opponents honest. MVP used to do it, but I think Maru does it even better.

I think it's quite a smart choice. And you always keep the pressure on KT to close the series fast because Maru will 90% take his game and both Maru and SoS (possible True too) have no equal in KT except for possibly (the predictable choice of) Zest.

It takes a SK Telecom T1 fan to explain this properly. If KT had certain players such as hitman developing snipe builds for Maru then GW played it smart and said, "hey they won't expect our best guy to be on the last map." So if hitman was planning a build for Maru it is now wasted on Cure. However, KT was smart and stuck action last as they are confident in his abilities and also probably has a snipe build prepared. Basically both coaches are trying to outsmart each other. Many would argue GW got the better match ups, but KT has some of the best line up coaches in the history of Starcraft and it definitely shows here. The far fetched but still possible theory is that January swapped out the lineups with her own custom GW trollerary lineups. | ||
