Best pick. TvT is Maru's weakest matchup and skyhigh is a god in the matchup.

His current form? Because historically TvT is Maru's strongest matchup.

Still true. Weakest but only relatively to his other matchups. Him beating guys like Dream and Inno who are also weak in the matchup doesn't mean that much.

And yes currently. It's the matchup where he's looked most vulnerable recently.

which wouldn't have been too surprising

He hasn't played mech in a televised match all year


It's still freaking Vaani and mech isn't the hardest thing to do if you keep up with the new zerg pressure/all in builds.


It's good you mentioned the last map was Vaani. Its an obvious mistake not bringing Flash in that case. Likely they would put out Rogue or Cure, and he would likely play mech/be favored in TvT

You're forgetting about Sir Polt of Terran.

Who was the only Terran who actually came close to winning a tournament in that time.

Didnt Maru ro4 in gsl?


Yeah, he beat jjakji (who got 6th that season) in ro8.

Yeah but he's only played bio and one bio mech, even when regularly fielded on Sejong and playing Deadwing cross in SSL. At this point it seems he's just abandoned it for the time being.

Maru doesn't have a weak matchup per say, maybe weaker than his other incredible match ups.
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Maru played well but I can't help but think Life was on the ropes for blizz taking away SH and not giving Zerg any new tool to compensate for that huge nerf. although he probably should have gone corruptor/bl , but once it's scouted the tech is on a pretty short timer

So this recent Life vs. Maru game showed once more that ZvT mech is unbeatable after this 'hillarious' patch DK made. No options for zerg to win this match-up right now. 2-base all-in or gg.

I think it just reinforces it. There hasn't been a time in the last where Maru wasn't considered at least a top 3 terran.

Do you see between "last" and "where"? There was supposed to be a "year" there. Dunno what happened >.>

This was season 3 2013, just before he moved to Europe. jjakji was playing so god damn well, #1 on ladder and one match away from qualifying for season finals.

And yes Downfall, that doom drop Frost game :D
