Exactly this, I don't really get this LR...


Getting your mineral line slaughtered by two surprise Oracles you had no reason to expect were coming is not playing poorly. Neither is trying to see if the Protoss isn't guarding one droppable part of the base. I don't get why we'd say that Maru was NOT playing well.


He HAD to have known they were coming. He saw the stalker count out on the map, he scouted Patience's entire base. If it had been a fully committed blink all in, it would have been far more stalkers. So there's only two things it can be: proxy dark shrine or proxy oracle. Against both you get turrets, wait for them, shut them down, go across and a-move or never let protoss expand.

The doom drop is a terrible decision as well. He's got mules and far better tech. Just expand instead of suicide dropping. Protoss can never take a third on Secret Spring and by the time Patience has good enough tech for a second two base all in, Maru has a third up and running and has a massive army. He got incredibly lucky in the end.

Nice bracket luck Maru.


Yeah, because Maru is such a scrub Patience is the only player he could beat at this tournament. Give me a break.

He could have gotten INnoVation, Bbyong, Fantasy, Hydra or Trap instead. He definitely didn't get the hardest possible opponent, that was barely a warm up for Maru. But Patience played really bad <.<.

You'll excuse me, when I watch someone be quite behind, put units in three medivacs and hope real hard that the other guy messes up with blink stalkers, and then I look at the LR and see comments about masterclass and Patience being completely outplayed and disgraceful, I'm having some trouble with the picture.


1. 4 Medivacs.
2. Behind in workers? Okay, I get that. Every other thing was in favour of Maru - tech, army quality/size, map control, upgrades...
3. If Maru had Observers, and saw the Stalkers were out of position, and immediately jumped in with his drops, we'd say he was doing a good job taking advantage of mistakes. Why is it less of a good job because he performs his 'check if Stalkers are there' on the way in? That's how all the KR Terrans do it: start going for the drop, boost back if you see the Stalkers coming, sometimes Scan if you're hitting multiple locations.
