These are dark days for Maru
I am a slave of Golden from now on. Obey a supreme leader of StarCraft 2 or you get banned. I am really glad to be citizen of Democratic republic of Golden.

I mean, yes, there are options to defend, but they do come at opportunity cost ESPECIALLY versus the greedy 4th/macro hatch timing of Dark combined with the creep spread.

Alright Maru. This is Dark, there is no room for small mistakes here. You need to be 100% on point this game to make this a real series.

Look at the pattern. Life counter attacks with lings, gets good results. Dark does the same, is up 2-0 against Maru. It's not me, it's amazing Zergs showing the rest how it's done.

maynarde's a good caster, disagree with the haters

his cast is very energetic

i'm hoping maru can pull himself together but dropping overgrowth was huge q_q

vaani's a tough map to parade push on, especially vs dark of all zergs


i deserve to be commended for not insulting anyone who speaks ill of maru in this thread

To be fair, Life is the most successful Zerg and he does it more than any other. Coincidence? I think not!

I agree, Zergs should counter-attack more. I'm saying in this specific game instance, given what happened with the Reaper/Hellion harass, the lack of early stunting of the creep, and the early timing of all that extra Larvae production with the 4th and macro hatch, Maru didn't have the option to invest in defenses, he needed to break Dark and keep the army on his side of the map by force. Especially when you look at his minerals during that push and they're always super low. Even his fourth base was a little later than usual because he made the decision to go so hard at Dark. So, in this situation, I don't believe Maru felt or calculated he could take the time and money to invest in defensive things.

Man I'm so annoyed, this should have been the awesome tournament where Maru and Life met in the finals, to show the world that we actually have consistent players, but no. All dreams are dead, no fun allowed. URGH!

It's gonna be herO vs Trap in the finals. =(
