Can we not overhype this game for Maru please. It's 7 probes dead to two hellions into 3CC. You're not supposed to lose.

You are not supposed to shade 3 adepts to defend 1 5hp reaper either.


Indeed. Does that make it the best TvP display you've ever seen?

No, but it certainly says a lot about the series we are to watch :D

Actually think this is more to mess with Maru's head. Despite playing for so long he's still the much more inexperienced in finals.

Maru has 6 premier tournament finals, including 3 starleague finals, appearances prior to today


Zest has seven Premier wins, including two GSLs and an IEM WC. Maru is much younger, too.

I'm not going into this again but please stop counting Homestory cups as premiers

Zest has been to 6 premier finals before today. Maru has also been to 6.

If WESG is a Premier then so is HSC tbh

I guarantee you that both Zest and Maru count WeSG as a premier and not HSC

Well fuck, that settles it.

Even if it doesn't, in terms of the experience playing in finals/on big stages goes, WeSG is certainly a bigger deal than HSC.

WESG didn't have Rotti vs Gumiho in the group stage. HSC did. So HSC > WESG

Pretty tough game but zest fell behind and got stuck on 3 bases, hopefully next game is better

Disruptors aren't that good against the 2nd best micro player behind ByuN

They were supposed to run into Maru's third to force him to attack into disruptor novas. Not a bad idea, but probably should have gone earlier.

I fear Zest is way too weak to give us a great finale :/

Still, gogo Maru !

Maru was completely ready for that as well. He'd walled off with supply depots, broken the rocks down and had supply depots to buffer the units where his rallypoint was set and that was where Zest's zealots would have to run if they wanted to counter attack. It was truly insane to see that level of planning for that map.

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

That's the same gameplan than vs Classic : mass cyclon + few WM->marauders gg.

Classic tried HT, Maru just has added a few ghosts and crush him, Zest now try disruptors, it doesn't seem better.

Except if Zest will cheese, this will be a stomp, marauder patch is too good vs P.

That's not what the depot is for. It's there to rally your army to and have an easy hotkey to where all your reinforcements are.

Zest just hiding builds for HSC. He knows he needs one more to rival the GOAT Terran.
