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

Juanito win Blizzcon please

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"

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.

(This is probably gonna bite me on the ass if he lose next round)
Nope. Think he retakes the top Protoss spot from Zest again though (those two are always trading).
Bogus Maru Life Mvp Zest soO sOs

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.

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/

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?

Wasn't that year an ugly year of mech vs SH TvZ ?
