Gotta go with Maru/sOs/Solar/Stats on this one, although I could conceivably see Impact or Trap winning. Gonna be some good games tonight.

nothing would make me happier than rogue obliterating maru, just because of what it would do to some of the narratives we've all heard lately XD maru probably takes it, but rogue is 100% capable.

I don't even know what to say aside from bonjwa if Maru manages to snag Super Tournament as well. Especially if he shows a dominating performance against the best Zerg in the world right off the bat.

Go Fantasy!

On Day 1, I hope Solar wins. Rogue winning would be cool too, although I'd kinda prefer it if Maru crushes the tournament and we get Serral vs Maru at Blizzcon, but that's both not very likely to happen.

I feel like Rogue vs Maru is going to be super weird and could go either way due to that. I don't think either of them care enough about this event to stop practicing together temporarily like they probably did before their match in GSL s2 so there are going to be some really weird mind games going on. Wish I could watch it live.

Let's hope Maru crushes this to keep the BlizzCon hype going!

Cheering for soO to get the last BlizzCon spot.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Predictable proxy, but not clear whether Maru is trying in this match, especially if JinAir wants sOs to make Blizzcon.

Maru is really good, but I feel that he will fall if he is not switching this 2 rax openings more. I feel that he risks too much.
Thing is he is really good micro macro mid late game aswell.. only hoping he will not lose his skills in that regard.

Edit: Maru just undestands this game on a different level. I guess he is doing this builds to keep the creep under control. In a normal game you cannot make creep pressure that good. Normally zerg is favored in TvZ and these 2 should be more or less evenly matched. Rogue makes no mistakes, Maru wins I would say easily. Rogue never made any pressure on Maru.

It's sort of the natural extension of the MKP strategy: Play an opening strategy that requires you to lean HARD on your micro. For MKP it was either an opening cheese, or a SUPER greedy build that would lose for every other player except somehow MKP makes it work with like 2 marines to defend or some ridiculous shit. For Maru, it's proxies. From there, transition into a macro game if your opponent isn't dead because you're the better macro player anyways.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Do KR Zergs not know how to split their army and do ling run-bys/counter attacks? I feel like that's one aspect of ZvT where EU Zergs (not just Serral) have an advantage.

Rogue is a deathball player. He want's to get to super late game and do the "EVERYTHING RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW" playstyle. It's just who he is as a player

Oh I thought you were talking about the last game. On Dreamcatcher he pretty much lost to the first push so counter-attacking wouldn't have helped him.

Rogue is too chicken to win vs Maru. Passive playing, and letting Maru do what he wants is not the way

Lol, Maru is insane. Those games weren't even close, and Rogue didn't play that bad really, just way too passive.

I hoped for Blizzcon 2017 Rogue form but he is still playing kinda shitty right here.

I'd favor the top EU zergs over him against Maru at Blizzcon.

Maru is just stupid good at this point. I would have loved to see a match with Life in top form against Maru's current form. They remind me a lot of eachother. Young, very fast, excellent multitasking and micro.

Agreed. If someone's gonna win against Maru, they're going to need to at least try to put Maru on the back foot.

Yeah, Life's approach to the game is really missing these days. He probably would make things far more interesting today and give fellow zergs some ideas how to deal with someone like Maru.
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

the real mistery is how Maru's wrists still work with his gameplay, maybe that's a major reason for the proxies, to end it early.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Of course he said that Rogue is his teammate, but if he watched Serral play at all he knows this finnish guy is miles better than Rogue at ZvT (or even at all matchups)

Even inno smashed Rogue before getting 3-0ed by serral, not surprised by today's result. Hopefully sexy boy can get in shape before blizzcon.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Yes, he did proxy with 1 rax in game 1. Built a few reapers in it. He got 1 gas stolen though, because sOs expected it.

He proxied, but did basically no damage. sOs counter-proxied and contained Keen but did basically no immediate damage. Then the game went on for a while, Keen attacked and sOs didn't have enough army- he tried to counter attack and went for a base trade but he lost on both fronts.

Yeah....no, KeeN was in the main, sOs was at his fifth. He parks the vikings over the stargates and put the liberators at the ramp. sOs loses all of his production. KeeN comes back afterward and kills him.

Either way, the way he played it he was dooomed to lose. He just flew with vikings + liberators straight into the Protoss army from behind while half his army was just razing buildings.

Crucially, Keen's vikings + Liberators would have beaten the carriers 1 on 1, so he could have floated buildings to the corner, camped with his air units and forced a draw, even in the worst case scenario.

I think he was flustered by the weird situation and the memory of game 1 where the split was the correct play.

His army would beat sOs' if controlled properly, the disrupters were dead weight at that point. His EMP's were also off target.

But yes he was tilted, it showed from his play since the 3rd game

Hmm, well, it's not a small chance that some probes might have escaped and started mining or set up a new base. There were bases both to the north and south, and it's hard to get all of the probes in that situation.

He could at the very least have used his zerglings to delay the push with rock towers or counter-attacking, rather than throwing them at the queens. It felt exactly like Tasteless said: a good strategy executed poorly. 30-40 seconds could have given him enough time to defend.

Even 10 seconds would have to be honest. He had a lot of production going.

Hard to overstate how crucial the micro was to that game- it might have looked one-sided in the final fight but with even a little worse micro, Stats would have been in real trouble.

Yeah, keeping those immortals alive is really game-winning, also sniping Trap's prism.

To be honest, if Stats didn't micro those Immortals well, it could have ended the game. Glad Stats won that.

Sure Trap did an allin and Stats +2 but Trap had double the probes and equal bases, that was a winnable game for Trap.

Mannn... those are the most painful moments... and I think you could tell what he was thinking in his chair after the game....

> In the moment <
Shit, just lost my whole army when I went for a full attack. GG asap o well....

>sitting in chair<
Wait... I definitely killed all his probes right...?
Fuck......

yes he won, Trap GG'd when he had 1 archon left because there was a few immortals and 1 or 2 archons from stats; so he just insta left.

Was he going to win if Trap stayed?
Really hard to beat mass adepts when u have to pick between army and probes in a mirror... especially considering Trap was full 3 base saturation, and could just walk to the fork between the bases and shade into different parts of bases...

u cant warp in zealots to defend cuz they die to adepts, and stalkers are ass vs the production of trap....

so, really not much u can do, unless trap just woulda sat there and let stats get back up to 50 probes... which woulda been like 2 or 3 minutes of straight probe production...

At the point of the GG the supply was

Army: 29 (Stats) vs 16 (Trap)
Probes: 24 (Stats) vs 43 (Trap)

Well, with genius defense he might have stopped a counter attack due to his superior probe count.

Maybe. But 3 immortals+3 archons+prism, and whatever Stats would have warped in after, I don't see him holding.

If he can hold on he wins for sure due to his probe count. And due to the size of the map I don't think it's that unreasonable he could defend. For sure I'd favor Trap's position there.

Also he still had the prism to keep him pinned back

I think SoS is already pretty much set for Blizzcon. Solar would need to win the thing to overtake him. Probably Soo is the only real danger, and he needs to make it to the finals too i think

Hold on with what though? Adept warpins? Stats would have been allin anyway so prism harass wouldn't make much of a difference.

I'd agree with you maybe if Stats didn't have a prism already.

Doesn't really matter. It was an extremely bad decision to gg there. He has nothing to lose, for gods sake

No way he could defend +2 immortal/archons with only adepts, and since Stats already lost so many probes he could just go all-in.

He can get 1-2 warp-ins rounds before Stats' attack hits and can also get Archons. Adepts are pretty good in lower scale fights.

In that sense yes, especially with blizzcon on the line, he should have tried at least.

But I don't think it was an idra GG timing at all. Trap wasn't in a winning position when he left.

This is one of the situations where it would be fun to see 2 players use the resume from replay function and play out a "what if..." scenario.
I still stand by my opinion that Trap was in a winning position.

No, he wasnt, but he definitely wasnt out of the game either. I think Stats would have won regardless but imo it was like a 60-40 scenario not something to GG over right then and there

Thing is he is really good micro macro mid late game aswell.. only hoping he will not lose his skills in that regard.

Edit: Maru just undestands this game on a different level. I guess he is doing this builds to keep the creep under control. In a normal game you cannot make creep pressure that good. Normally zerg is favored in TvZ and these 2 should be more or less evenly matched. Rogue makes no mistakes, Maru wins I would say easily. Rogue never made any pressure on Maru.


Proxy 2rax has evolved into a standard opener for Maru.

Stats had a stronger army with better upgrades. He lost a lot of workers but that doesn't mean he couldn't warp in at all. Trap should not have left the game when he did since it was a fight for his Blizzcon life, but he probably would have lost.

I think trap had a clear lead even if the game wasn't over either way. I think that was the worst gg since the idra hallucination gg. Really sad actually. I think he had already given up or didn't realize he killed all the probes at the natural.

Stats was way ahead imo, 7 warping adepts + prism (they were just paid for) <<< 2 archon + 3 inmor + prism + obs in play. Plus Stats had a full upgrade over Trap. And a 24 vs 43 probe advantage is meaningless when you are on 2 base economy (main depleted) and 3 nexus. It takes Stats 3/4 probe cycles to completely match Traps economy.
Help me! im still improving my English. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. M. G.
