Nah, Maru's rep went down the shitter, nothing can save it.

Maru needs to win the next GSL to make up for it, beating sOs along the way

sOs wanted to place second in his group so he could get the easiest round of 8 opponent.

If serral wins one map he is alreaady 100% better than maru. Maybe he should be a bonjwa ascending.

I dont understand this bonjwa talk..all bonjwa means is "greatly skilled"
So...why is there a requirement to get that title?


Contextually, bonjwa means much more than that in the Starcraft scene. I read a post or comment by Waxangel giving a brief yet detailed explanation of what Bonjwa Theory was back in Brood War and it is much more than "greatly skilled"
What do you mean Immortals can't shoot up?

what did you think of Maru's blizzcon mode?

Dunno mate, looked like typical Prime Terran performance in the sense it was just as stubborn.


Maru and sOs probably practice against each other all the time. It might be that Maru almost always lost the standard macrogames, in which case his stubborness makes more sense. Even so game three should have been standard macro for sure, but he was clearly tilted as hell by then.

How would sOs beat Maru in standard macro games tho, Maru bests him micro, macro and multitasking by quite a margin, makes no sense to me.

Well, by not playing fully standard macro games in the first place. Play on your strengths, not your weaknesses.

Clearly it makes no sense to you, but if Maru thought that he was better in micro macro and multitasking why did he choose to play the way he did? Maru thought he best chance to win was proxy and lost. Thats it.

Nope. Think he retakes the top Protoss spot from Zest again though (those two are always trading).

As much as I love sOs, this really saddens me to see Maru go out this way. Standard, non-proxy Terran play would have likely been a sure way to get past sOs, but I suppose when Maru hasn't played "Standard" TvP in so long it would have required a complete shift away from all that's given him so much success this year.
I suppose that's a lot easier said than done... The brilliance of sOs shines through once again, and sadly Maru falls flat on his face.

I'm kinda with Poopi here in feeling like I might just shut down the stream out of sheer disappointment..

yeah I probably will stop watching too

This is why you don't only hype two players. You could even see this reflected in the TL preview threads - every one was negative except for Serral and Maru.

It hurts viewership if the analysts can't discuss more than one player. Maru isn't Flash - he can't and will not live up to that comparison but he's still a legend.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

yeah just watch the VOD,no player could out-cheese sOs tbh.Maru should'vve just played macro game
I remember correctly he said that he is both comforable at maro and proxy game against protoss
But in fact he didn't show a good macro game in the whole tournament....disappointed/

Your vote: Most embarassing Blizzcon performance?

(Vote): Maru

Not even a proper comparison. Lilbow knew his odds so he knew what he was doing from the beginning. Maru can do way better.


Honestly I think Lilbow was way more embarassing. At least we can be assured Maru TRIED to win this. Just can't stop the actual God of BlizzCon though. I don't think there's any shame in that.

I can kinda agree with this, at least Maru was trying, he lost to sOs's mindgames

What if Blizzard rigged the brackets so that Serral could win Blizzcon? Not so we'd see Maru vs Blizzcon as the grand finale?
