I think Neeb Maru is better. Neeb still has good PvZ and recently has mainly had problems vs Dark. If Impact has some good cheese builds ready he'll take it, but otherwise, I think Neeb has it and can beat Reynor as well
I seem to remember Impact doing some pretty weird builds in ZvP. Neeb will have a tough time against him I think.

if impact prepared in any way against neeb, he cheeses like anything and we get a rematch , but raynor is the favorit against either imho

It's obviously easier to sit here and judge on the stream, but cmon, this is Maru. If 90% of the people watching already know when Maru is going to proxy rax before the game, a pro player fighting for their life in a tournament can make the extra preparation for a build that is statistically extremely likely from a particular player. This is not just hindsight talking.

i just think it makes more sense to suppose that pros have actual reasons for not wanting to spend every game drone scouting the entire map than to conclude that zerg players are lobotomized chimps who have no idea how maru plays
idk if you play zerg much, but you can definitely drone scout for a 2rax and still not find it. after you've played a game where your drone misses the barracks by 1 hex you start relying on overlords more. it's also very map dependent and meta dependent (meaning the meta of where to place proxies)
i'm not disagreeing that a drone scout would have been good in that game, but reductive reasoning about cost-benefit situations involving workers and mining time where forum posters say "pros are idiots" is just kind of a waste of time. i tend to think the person who ladders at 6.5k knows more about how builds work than i do

It's not even hindsight here. Literally, for the last 8 years, zergs have played against this. It doesn't take 8 years and it doesn't take a progamer to figure out you should drone scout and then take the terran's second gas with the drone.

i think it is less about the scout and more about not choosing the greedy builds when in front against maru, which is a sensible thing to think about would say

They may have reasons for not drone scouting. But c'mon, it's Maru. We sit here in LR threads every time saying he's gonna proxy, and he always does, and the zergs don't counter it, and they lose.
PartinG used to beat him on a regular basis in HotS by literally blind countering proxy rax. I've used that example so much because he's the only pro that realised how often he does it. I'm not saying you have to open pool first every map against Maru, but it should warrant some kind of preparation

Nice chargelot-archon timing attack Neeb. If Neeb wins, either Reynor or Neeb will advance and I'm happy regardless.

so... impact didn't know that was coming? did he overlord scout the main? he just kind of instantly died to a standard protoss build

Man, Artosis is screwing over players with his predictions

Can't overlord scout the 8 gates vs a stargate opener

Today has been a bit disappointing. Most of the games have ended quickly and often with a BO loss

I guess it would make sense if Neeb went all in on prepping PvZ for today

But you are welcome to release a how to play video against 2rax, be my guest, coach ReachTheSky I'm flattered you look up to me like i'm a coach, bud. Nothing is stopping a zerg from scouting with a drone. Zergs are just too greedy. Everyone knows that Maru does these builds on a very regular basis lol. Yet we have some sillies in this thread calling for increased bunker build time SMH.
has nothing to do with greedy. zerg cant really afford to drone scout. therefore you have the 2 overlords to work with. that how the different races are working.

i suppose you normally can't, but that build has been meta for so long that it's a surprising gamble for impact to just have no units

8 gate chargelot archon is not standard in pvz? i dunno what i've been watching for the last few months then?
