This group was amazing! So much went right for me. Maru out in last place is the best result so far this GSL other than Flash coming out 1st in his ro32 group. I got both Inno and Stats advancing with Parting in 3rd. The only change I would want is Stats in 1st and Inno is 2nd but that is nit picking.

this group was amazing but i want to point out that tastosis - and in particularly tasteless - has still a WOL mindset when it comes to TvP - in the 3rd game tasteless kept saying that opening DTs is super risky and if you dont do damage you get counter-attacked badly, but due to photon overcharge / mothership core that's actually not the case, P can do any sort of shit and never be behind early game - maru moved across the map with a 25+ army supply than his opponent and parting defended with 2 stalkers, 2 sentries and PO... lol.
taking 0 counter damage despite opening like that. also tasteless kept calling the game over in favor of maru when he was pulling his SCVs the last time despite the fact that he had worst upgrades and was against PO/COlossi/Storm. so yeah. about 3-4 times they called for counter attacks from T to do a lot of damage that did absolutely nothing.
time to understand that PO button

anyway, i am super disappointed maru did not go through but he did some super fucking weird choices vs stats especially. 2nd game on catellena terrible idea to 'base trade' when stats was already in front of his base. that attack with tanks seemed random and did not realize how early he got the 3rd.
very impressed with innovation in the 2nd game vs parting holding off that blink stuff. HOLY SHIT what a micro he pulled off, not sure how many truly understand how insanely hard it was to do with the SCvs back and forth.

Looks like Flash might be team-killing his way to the final.

If I get a TvT final this season involving Flash/Inno/Cure, I think I'll die

To you they might be faceless. to me who have a bw backround they aren't. I see parting as an annoying overhyped player and maru,well i cant say anything bad about maru

Bogus was faceless in broodwar
If anything he has more personality now, which is still little enough to be called the robot

Bogus wasn't faceless in BW, if anything i'd say he was one of the Terrans with fearsome skill but not god-tier, the likes of Baby(aka TY), Leta, Sea

Maru is too solid to be refered as hype train.
