EPTMaru is like... a favorite. Don't get me wrong, everyone can win this. But Maru has what it takes to go to the top, I believe it!

I see. I guess that Inno isn't the best splitter either, he relies more on his insane macro. With so much happening, I I think Life still engaged better than any other zerg would have. Some fights he was down on both supply and upgrades and actually came out 30 supplies ahead, I thought I was out of my mind. | ||

There are still a lot of names at the top and bottom. Flash hype round #150, Trap who even aced for JAGW, Maru... all at the bottom. And Innovation, herO still at the top left. And those are just the biggest names still in it... | ||

The biggest threat to Maru has been knocked out and parting isn't in the tournament. Maru gets to sleep / prepare. Maru is like... a favorite. Don't get me wrong, everyone can win this. But Maru has what it takes to go to the top, I believe it! Wait, Maru is in this? And people were acting like Innovation had a free ride after Life, lol. This tournament could be great. | ||

Dominance of the scene by one player or two players will actually help popularize SC2. | ||

Feels strange. well in the case I was making it was between facing Inno Trap Dark or Cure vs Patience Hydra Bbyong or Fantasy. Accidentally wrote Hydra twice in my original post as well. Just saying that it seemed like more often than not the people who won IEMs got matched up with the stronger players who came from the qualifiers. | ||
