I dont know why they keep saying Hero is the favorite, Maru rules, no one gives him respect, I loved it when he beat Innovation and Rain.

I guess the situation changed?

Hero challenged Maru to a micro/multitask battle. Reaper killed like 6 probes, stalker and mothership core killed nothing. Maru attacked with bio, Hero didn't see it coming. Now Maru's army is in his main, mothership core is across the map, and oracle is building.

This series is basically over, so I"m heading to bed. Night, let's hope this spammer shit is over, but probably not.

He should have gone for two gates on the low ground and pumped Stalkers. But he had to hide the Gateways a bit more.

I have no idea why he didn't, I've done this build quite a few times on the ladder lately and I always get the zealot out and still start my stalker and msc on time.

well i think it woulda helped against the scv's pushing the stalker back that did no damage. the zealot could do some nice zoning while the stalker and MSC could start picking shit off.

In my defence is really hard to call Maru, he either plays like shit (like vs Parting) or like a god (right now).

I know your 17 but get your stuff together Maru dammit.


Meh PartinG is capable of going toe to toe with Maru in micro battles. He also mindgamed Maru pretty hard from what he said in his interview and expected Maru to cheese him in game 2 after the game 1 blink all in.

With a 10 gate and such a rush distance (and the ridiculous build placement, he oculd timed the good ol' zealot/stalker/MsC.

Instead he sent a lone stalker throught the map, let a reaper kill probes and derped his MsC in Marus main without killing a single SCV

Yeah, but it basically guarantees a potential reaper slaughters you, while in theory you should be able to defend it with a stalker.

And wtf ToD. Proxy has nothing to do with proximity, it originates from the word procurator.
