I didn't see the games but from the comments I got the impression the games were over quick with Maru losing the cyclone phase?

Yes, the "macro" phase was just Maru cutting corners and Keen in the lead.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Maru lost early game but he was the one going greedy, he was getting his 3rd CC out by the time Keen would push with 3 Cylone and a tank or two and Maru would have literally nothing.

But that's the issue here You can't talk about murdering in the lategame when he lost the game in the early game

reaper = good and Cyclone = abuser ?
This is like saying ling-baneling all in in ZvZ is genius and roach war is bad. I failed to see the rationale here.
Bulky units like cyclone does require good micro to use properly. Similar to setting up good concave in a roach war.

I also don't think Maru is good late game TvT anyway. In LOTV he basically is imo MKP mark II where he just goofs randomly trying assert pressure on the map which is just way to risky in Marine Tank comps. One bad siege / un siege and you can lose the game which is how i reminded myself of the Maru vs GuMiho series last year in Quarter Finals.

That's the point. Maru's lategame is very good but he always goes for coinflip builds (rushes, fast 3 CC) and loses earlygame.

In iem against gumiho, he was fighting well in the lategame, yet he lost the series 3-2. All three loses were due to coinflip openings.

Cyclone requires good micro? What? :s
Compared to reaper it's nothing really

Wait.....Keen won first 2 vs maru because mech is stronger than bio in tvt. what happened in the second set? i didnt see it, did maru go bio again and kill keen before he even had the chance to make mech strong?was maru's multitasking too hard for keen to handle?

Well, I'm not saying he's good, just that there wasn't any real end game To me it looks that Maru is lost in the early game, but I saw him play 4 games only

How come he's in your sig, lol. I agree though.



haha true, but I was talking about these two games. He is in my sig because of good memories (mainly because of some of his TvP and his TvZ against Life in IEM Tappei)

That's just not true. Maru's lategame TvT is usually defensive, he basically copied TYs style of holding expansions while sending 1-2 medivacs at a time to harass. What you're describing is closer to ByuN or aLive.

Some crazy games tonight. but Noregret needs to ease up on the balance complaining while casting. Act professional.

Those last 2 Maru games had me in hysterics. Poor Keen.
