Classic is the favorite, he won the last 4 series they played. But that only means it's Maru's time now right.
Hoping for Maru, 2nd GSL in a row!

There hasn't been a GSL final mirror match since BL/infestor. That being said I think one happens here, Classic's PvT is unbeatable without any major slip ups.

(P)Classic 4-1 (T)Maru
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I Protoss winner, could it be?

Sons of Terrans, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of terran fails, when we forsake our teamhouse and break all bonds of teammates, but it is not this day. An hour of lazers and shattered armor, when the age of terran comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good GSL, I bid you *stand, Men of the Terran!* - Maru

I hope Maru saves us from PvP finals, altough I don't see Classic losing to a terran, not even Maru.

WM are garbage since the nerf, Maru should have stopped after the 13 kills.

This is so going to be a 4-0

And Classic's taking a ton of damage to the cyclone push that every terran does on ladder... This is definitely WCS NA.

It's very interesting that Classic still makes so many stalkers when he opens SG, whereas everyone else goes adepts. It seems to work out for him against these aggressive openings.
Ganzi beat me without stim. Ostojiy beat me with a nydus. Siphonn beat me with probes. Revival beat my sentry-immortal all-in.

It is because Maru early damage let him have a worker/econ lead. He simply could afford it before Classic.

Also because as a result of the early damage Classic chose to prioritize gateway units. Well, it allowed him to survive longer, so it was the right call, but he needed a mistake from Maru on top of that.

Classic's screwed. He can't beat a banshee even if it takes a million years for Maru to get it.

Not an overcommit imo--8 kills isn't nearly enough, he was dead to tech if he couldn't kill Maru so might as well run up.

Not the first time seeing a terran stop 3-5 protoss units without having any units on his own. Imagine the roles being reversed and 8 marines walk into an undefended protoss main base...

My WiFi went down for a couple minutes and wtf how did Maru win that?


Classic only killed 8 SCVs, and wasn't able to slow down the bunker due to the good worker pull. If he can't get into the main he's so far behind in tech he's basically lost. So Classic tried to break in, succeeded but Maru had good micro and was able to clean up the stalkers, and Classic lost everything. Then the cloaked banshee came out and it was GG.

No bunker was pretty brave from Maru. He had zero scouting, and proxy stargate was probably one of the better scenarios for him. More stalkers would have just killed him. Maybe he had a good soulread that it had to be some sort of stargate from Classic on this map.

That was a fantastic fight from Maru. And unlike game 2 he had the worse army, not the better one. He'll need more of them though with 2/2 and disruptors finishing for Classic.

Though I feel like Classic messed up the attack a bit? I feel like he should have been able to kill Maru when he attacked with his storm timing.

Theoretically classic should get more zealots and charge to counter the marauders, but the widow mines and liberators (the ships of freedom) keep zealots from being effective. Nice strat, hard to see a counter.

I feel like Classic is afraid of Maru, Classic is very indecisive in the early game, his early stalker/oracle play isn't as aggressive as normal.
I mean he made 4 oracles, killed almost no SCVs and them lost them all to random widow mines. Its almost like hes tilting.
(also the 2 gate made 0 sense)

This is extremely predictable. With the current PvT status, I don't know how anyone could predict Classic is favored. If you can't get in an unlosable early game position, entering mid game means gg for protoss. Zest approached the ro4 the right way.

Classic was borderline 100% in PvT before today....

How many series of PvT vs top terran was played in this patch? He looked very shaky vs TY in the group already. And he came back with super early aggression, the only way you win in this MU right now. Same in series vs Byun. Classic likes stalker heavy comp in PvT. That could carry over reasonablly well to mid game pre-patch, but it's a joke now if you don't win right there.

PvT was ~44% after the patch.

If Maru's victories hadn't been as swiftly crushing, he'd have even more 'work' to do.

What do you mean with "Zest approached his games the right way" though? He won the long games on Acid Plant and Darkness Sanctuary. The only long game he lost was the one on Catalyst.

It seems factory units are the key to not letting Protoss do whatever they want while going into the mid-game with an econ lead.

Maru outmicroed Classic way too hard, he was just on a completely different level, god bless his wrists.

The only game that made it look broken was the third game, where Claassic was clearly ahead after killing so many scvs, and yet Maru's army setup looked impossibly broken, zoning with the liberators and killing with the marauders. Artosis said he needs to go collosus, but Maru will win against collosus, his micro is too good.

It will be interesting to see what Zest comes up with, because he is practicing hard and will find something he will think is effective.

Everyone should watch just that last fight in game 3 and marvel at the beauty.

Classic was borderline 100% in PvT before today....

How many series of PvT vs top terran was played in this patch? He looked very shaky vs TY in the group already. And he came back with super early aggression, the only way you win in this MU right now. Same in series vs Byun. Classic likes stalker heavy comp in PvT. That could carry over reasonablly well to mid game pre-patch, but it's a joke now if you don't win right there.

PvT was ~44% after the patch.

What do you mean with "Zest approached his games the right way" though? He won the long games on Acid Plant and Darkness Sanctuary. The only long game he lost was the one on Catalyst.

Just because they went a bit longer doesn't mean they weren't decided early though. On Acid Plant, TY's build failed so horribly he was just super far behind the entire time. On Darkness Sanctuary, TY's 3rd orbital dies before it's fully saturated.

Still, this whole midgame is a free win for Terran story is bogus. Almost all the Terran wins this GSL after the patch come off the back of Terrans getting early leads with their builds.

Just wanted to give a golden tip: nowadays you can just go directly to the gsl videos tab as the broadcast is going on and start watching from the beginning. I almost always miss the start, but also always go to the videos tab directly without looking at the stream. No need to wait for VODs, and if you disable chat and dont go to TL/reddit for a bit theres no way you will actually get spoiled. I guess sometimes I see how long it will still take, which is sad. On the other hand, zero downtime is pretty nice.

Yeah, fair enough. Game 3 probably stuck with me mostly because I was sure he was 100% dead. I was shocked that Maru came out of that opening alive.

lol Maru is going to crush Zest
the only reason he lost a game to Classic is because he was trolling with mines

I need a serious explanation of Maru's game 1 strategy. That felt like a build he'd use in the group stage of some random tournament like WESG against a tier 7 player rather than something against Classic in the GSL semifinals. (like when he went for a 2-base Nuke rush on King Sejong in the WESG East Asian qualifiers back in 2016)

Just watched the series and Maru's hold in game 3 was actually really fucking incredible. I would've lost 500 out of 500 games facing that cheese in that situation. Even against a player my own level, no freaking chance for me to win and against someone as good as Classic too.

Ridiculous hold.

It's crazy too because unequivocally Maru's play in that game teaches like the most important aspect of holding shit like that and it's really the effective pulling of SCV's.


Edit: What the fuck happened to Tasteless' hand?

Game 1 wraps and you see only 75 minutes left on the VOD. "I guess Classic won in 4."

Maru's play was just incredible. Even in game 1 where he is getting criticized heavily, his initial drop did massive damage and he could've easily had a game-ending follow up drop if Classic's control on the defense wasn't as strong as it was.

GL Zest, you will need it.

A bit late, but I think Classic's force fields have cost him the last game of the series. Looking back at the engagement where the stasis went off and trapped Maru's mines and scvs, Classic could have trapped even more units if he had not divided the army with his force fields just b4. It's a bit sad bc if he practiced a bit more in that "sOsy" scenario, he would have known what to do.

Zest almost always shows up in finals, he wouldn't let himself get swept. It would be out of character for him not to play better than he has so far this season.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
