Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Really hard to call, looking at the tvp/pvt results of both of them since the beginning of the year, the general form and adding my maru bias to the mix i have to go with the little terran though.
OSL, SSL and soon GSL champion

I think it's because of his history of frequently being the last one standing in GSL. Not the best name, but at least it's steeped in his history

I'd be shocked if Stats cheeses again after his build went that well and he still couldn't get the win, big advantage for Maru as he should be able to breathe easy in the early game.

No way. Maru had a second CC. Stats had 2 Robotics on the low ground and no tech behind it. if Maru recovers he's in a completely advantaged positon.

Had he saved 2-3 immortals instead of suiciding, I'd agree. But after all his units were down, he was done.

During player interviews, maru said he would win the series if he wins game 1.

Stats replied he will lose first game for maru, and then win anyway.

Maru could have 10 bases, if he doesn't have the workers to saturate them, it doesn't matter. So yes, I mean mules, because they help replenish the workers he lost (although he wasn't down too many anyway)

Maru could've gotten so much more if he'd realized that the obs wasn't out. Stats did an okay job of positioning his units to convince Maru that it was out though.

He had to cancel it eventually, but cancelling it so early and letting the engineering bay go up was still a huge mistake.

yeah the gateway walled him in the same way Maru's ebay did.
So he at least forced Maru to spend 125 minerals

EDIT: Okay I get it, just mindgames.
Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands.

I feel when Stats first tagged Maru's army outside his natural was his best chance to shade in. When liberators came in, it was over for his gateway heavy unit comp.

GG from Maru, proxy 2rax into mindgame was what got him the huge lead.

Maybe they just wanted the Terrans to STFU finally.

Loving the amount of thought Maru has put into this series. He wasn't lying about his preparation.
Ganzi beat me without stim. Ostojiy beat me with a nydus. Siphonn beat me with probes. Revival beat my sentry-immortal all-in.

Stats should just cheese 3 games in a row, nothing he can do against those pushes with raven support unless he is already ahead from the early game.

How about starting out by not being considerably behind? Those pushes are perfectly holdable from equality.

AAM doesn't win Maru that game, the early mindgame did. He just smashed Stats with tech advantage.

Would have crushed the first push without AAM. Met him out in the open, tanks unsieged, 1 second after +1 finished. That was the best possible engagement he could have gotten. (after that it'd have been somewhat even I guess)

Gotta say, I am really enjoying the cast right now. Valdes and Rapid are doing a great job. They know it's important and aren't meming to hard (looking at you Rapid), but are still having a lot of fun while bringing the hype this series deserves.

They just seem to have great chemistry. I don't think there are bigger shoes to fill than Tastosis casting the GSL final, but they are pulling it off.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I don't think he's quite fluent, but he's been studying Korean for a while. He was already quite decent at it back in 2016.

I'm not sure that was the same build as on Catalyst actually. It's similar, but this one got marauders faster I think. Either way I doubt Maru will try another similar build this series.

The marauders might have just been a reaction to Stats' build (quick blink and not stargate)

Does seem like forcefields and some army will crush it if he sees it coming. Stats probably cut some probe production to be ready and especially with blink it looked easy.

The fast ghost academy is strong for Maru. It isn't looking good for Stats, but I don't think he's quite as far behind as he was on Abyssal or the other maps. So maybe there's a chance?

Well I was hoping for Maru to win but I didn't think it would be like this lol.
Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands.

The fast ghost academy is strong for Maru. It isn't looking good for Stats, but I don't think he's quite as far behind as he was on Abyssal or the other maps. So maybe there's a chance?

Storm doesn't care (though ofc since Maru EMPed everything it's a moot point).

GG Maru.

It's nice that they made a Maru sized trophy this time though.

Call me crazy but I actually really liked that final. Maru had awesome preparation and I loved watching how his plan unfolded game after game. Unfortunately, there weren't really any epic games but from a player's perspective, it's always nice to see some really strong strategic play.

It's not crazy. Lack of preparation and being predictable were Maru's downfall in individual leagues. Glad to see he matured. PVT is a MU where early game advantage really snowballs, so it paid off big time. I really liked him using his reputation of proxy 2rax to mind game Stats in G4. Also 5 rax mass marines is indeed strong pressure build and it is not easy to hold. So it's understandable he tried to mix it in twice. It just so happened that Stats had the correct defense setup in G2 and build order counter in G5.

People are upset about the engagement looking one-sided. But pretty much every game was already one-sided before the final engagement happened (except G1 & 2). G3 and G6 though were indeed low quality games. Overall, slightly below average finals but not abysmal.
Neither party will be missed.

Indeed great casting


Yeah, I was bummed not to have Tastosis, but was really happy with the casting, actually.

Also: MARU!!! It's about goddamn time! This is the Maru I've been waiting to see for a long time and it feels great.

Maru is on a level of control that is unmatched right now. The instant his banshees are under attack, he cloaks immediately to save them. That money EMP in game 6 was another example of his stellar control. Maru's elite control is also how he beat sOs in the two recent series against him. Remember when Rotti reviewed the one battle Maru had against sOs at IEM when Maru was down supply and about to lose and how Maru had to pull off that battle perfectly to win? Rotti explains how Maru had to be perfect here:
.

As for today, in that last engagement in game 6, Stats clumped 3 High Templars together against Maru. I mean, I don't know if it's because Stats is lazy or what, but you don't clump 3 High Templars together when ghost is out for Terran. Do other top Protoss pros clump 3 HTs together? That is just lazy, unrefined play.

Seems like Maru was solidly in control. That GSL win was long overdue. Congrats to Maru.

Yes I was surprised to see how on point he was calling out the builds. He called out the doudle robo proxy and the 5 rax in games 1 and 2. Well played to Valdes and Rapid.


Cool series overall. Maru has grown a lot recently (huehue)

So solid for Maru. First korean triple crown and the third player to win three starleagues. Shame we didn't get any longer games

edit: although Stat's play was kinda underwhelming after seeing all 6 games. The only maps he won were defending allins (which he did very well).
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

He was moving across the map at that point. Nobody splits them up while you move and then there wasn't enough time (not a fast unit).
Well and/or he didn't know that ghosts were on the field.

Yiss, Maru!!!

And the commentary was surprisingly good, since I skipped the intro, I don't know who was there with Valdez, but he handled it well

No. The games themselves were very high-level, but not particularly entertaining.

I think the first 3 games or so had some entertainment value. The series taken as a whole, though, felt pretty one-sided, despite Stats' two wins. When he lost, he looked completely outclassed. Like, comprehensively dominated.

No, the games themselves weren't good with the exception of maybe game 2. Putting people down because they don't like the things you do gets you nowhere.

Does that even need explaining? By and large they were extremely one-sided with Maru pushing Stats (who made a lot of mistakes) around in the early game, and easily converting those leads into wins.

Yeah I don't really have anything to add, the games were just one-sided. Maru either got an early game lead (on Ascension with the proxy, on Abyssal with the mindgame making Stats think he proxied, and on Blackpink with cloaked banshee + tank vs an all-in with no detection) and won with the first mid-game push, or didn't (Catalyst/Odyssey with the 5rax no starport) and lost. Either way was pretty one sided and not very exciting/entertaining.
G1 is the only exception to what I said. Stats cheesed, didn't micro well, lost.
From a strategic standpoint, the series was entertaining, I'll grant you that.

As far as I'm concerned, that's enough to recommend watching it. I absolutely loved how prepared Maru came and the way he controlled the series. Admittedly, the games weren't that exciting but if you enjoy a very well planned series I'd say go and watch it.

Yes, the mindgames Maru pulled off (or tried to) were really fun and the casters were able to highlight them.
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.
