And then he learned the hard way that Super is nowhere near Zest's level in PvT.

Well, he lost his natural


He didn't fully lose his natural until after critical damage had finally been dealt to him. The sad thing is, he was consistently holding Zest to one base himself, but Protoss can still push through tanks, medivacs, bunkers, etc. and clinch the win.

He held Zest on 1-base mining with 1 liberator and 1 marine. Zest held Maru on 1-base mining with 10 stalkers that attacked into 4 marines and an unfinished bunker.

I'm a huge Maru fan and want to find some kind of excuse for him performing like this, but honestly, in some ways I think this format fits Maru better than long-prep head-to-heads. I think this *should* be his ideal format, because he's often been the player who would go in and win off-the-cuff in really impressive ways.

Why change when you're far and away the best player in the world at a certain matchup?
