The lagacy of Prime is being well represented here with Maru (formerly Prime) winning through pulling the boys like BitByBit (prime) and TY with the Maka (Prime) rax to pretend he's proxying.
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)

Maru basically has transcended "standard" openings by now. His builds are so well crafted, his execution is almost flawless.

We've had this said about half a dozen other Terrans before.
"Just play like Maru"
"Just play like Innovation"
"Just play like TY"
"Just play like Byun"
"Just play like [insert any top Terran here]"

Sounds like typical shitposting to me

If the protoss can get shield battery + immortal and hold then they win. That's a pretty big disadvantage.

Proxy reaper alone isn't really risky though. Unless it's a cannon rush or something (even then you can win as terran, just not easy).

So in this specific game, Neeb had immortal and two shield batteries. However, even before that fight took place (so regardless of whether Neeb held or not, Maru was already ahead in workers, with a second base on the way and high tier tech available.

The point isn't whether it's possible to hold or not- the point is why would you ever not do these builds if they don't disadvantage your choices?

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Well I believe it would not have made any difference at that point.

First, he didn't have immortals when the shield batteries were up.
He didn't scout properly that Maru was gonna commit with his proxy so his shield batteries were a bit late, he almost held tho.

You can be pretty screwed if the protoss reacts better as a terran doing this build with the factory proxied because it's a big commitment. It worked out for Maru yet his defense wasn't super easy afterwards, so imagine if you don't do enough damage or get scouted early: you are dead.

BO5 would be nice, but what would be better would be double elimination at the bracket stage.
