Dark showed some pretty plausible play against it recently, imo.

I didn't see the series, did Maru even get to the point where he had a similar army?


There were two series. At WESG, Maru got to that point and lost. He won the series by cheesing the last two games. Dark had effectively neutralized him. in the GSL, Maru had adjusted his overall playstyle and was basically a step ahead of Dark throughout. The most memorable game in that series where Maru won with this kind of play was made possible by an early unscouted extra base.


Nah, Maru never got to that point against Dark. On Backwater he could never secure his 6th whereas Dark was on 8 bases, Eastwatch was rather weird, but still ended before this phase in the game, and on Acid Plant his economy was limping due to losing everything to that roach attack.

Why do people bring Broodlord infestor lol?
It's Maru (!) beating soO (who isn't a monster in ZvT), not every zerg foreign included that smash other races, nor Sniper beating players better than him.
We'll have to wait and see if there is a real problem.
For now Maru still hasn't beaten Rogue with it.

I do feel like Zergs kinda just tech into the lategame patiently because they feel they still have the superior lategame when its not the case any more.

That was the case for soO for sure. He didn't really attempt to stop Maru from getting his ideal army.

sadly it's hard to do weird shit in PvP, however counterintuitive that sounds.

Yeah, true. Dark won by keeping him economically strangled. But it still went late enough that we saw these kinds of unit comps, iirc. Didn't they both get maxed in like two of those games? My memory is kinda terrible sometimes.

Most confusing cast ever. Constantly mixing up names and who's building what. And who's winning :D

Yes, on Ascension Dark kept suiciding army after army on 100 drones vs 50 or less SCVs and eventually lost.

They did get maxed, but Maru was still very constrained economically and could barely replace his units. And Dark had unlimited money.

I thought that's what ZOU talked about, Maru was dead and Dark just took ages to actually burry him.
