Because he's a skilled player and exciting, so it sucks to see him go out, same with Dream who both have higher potential play than Hydra/Rogue, and makes a Dream/Maru vs sOs/Rain much more interesting. Rogue is an exciting player, but his peak isn't as high.

So basically Maru has more fans.

This is true, which is why it always surprised me that Polt and Maru were the two best terrans during the blink era. Polt is the opposite of Maru in so many of these ways.

Polt, MMA, Taeja are the three terrans who I think are probably the best when not in control of the game. But not Inno, not Maru, and not Dream either.
Taeja the one true Byunjwa~

Surprised that not many people have commented on the fact that we have herO vs Classic in the Ro8, identical to last year. I guess we'll find out if Classic can take it again.

I noticed that. I think Classic will win 3-1 this time around, but herO could also take it.

Partially, but Maru on the whole is a better player and has a higher peak. And he has a lot of fans because he is pretty exciting while being good. He dropped the ball though.

FanTaSy is at his best when he's not in control of the game. I don't think he gets a lot of practice being in control of his games...

more seriously: that's some interesting analysis. Have you done any blog posts on the topic?

Mvp, Polt and Taeja were the best Terrans when the opponent had the initiative.

Man, those Maru/Rogue games were tough to watch =(.

Also really disappointing to see such disrespect to the community from Lilbow - tough to say if even NaNiwa or IdrA ever matched that.

Damn Maru, didn't even win a map...

Btw how did Polt take two games from Rain. Was he really prepared or did both players play like shit?

Also lol Dream
