So? Anyway you can pretty safely take a 30 up to maybe even 45 minute break after each series without missing stuff.

Third game, probably still under the photon rush shock, Maru missed second supply. From here it's nearly GG. 4 SCVs, huge huge mining time and everything delayed 30 seconds when you supposed to rush everything... So... maybe if Maru played some EU mid-master he would have know how to respond to photon rushing while proxy-ing, and then gain confidence instead of crumple... Either way even 2018 Maru is human and can have bad day or sickness (never saw him in years play that bad tbh). Let's see if Serral too is human. Or they thought sOs has better chances of winning it(because of Stats) so they prepared sOs and Rogue? Practicing your ZvT against Maru is by far the best preparation you can get and then your TvP is... bad? | ||

Good players win by using standard builds and strategies really well. Only a truly great player can win by using something that's not meant to be good. It validates Starcraft as a game of strategy, and not just a skill dump where you when by playing lots. Tricks, mind-games, and intelligence absolutely should be part of the game, and being able to upset a titan by using them perfectly makes the game better, not worse. | ||

No, the only one being delegitimized here is Maru | ||

There's no way he didn't care... but he did seem kinda defeated right off the bat. Maybe he had been getting crushed in practice vs sOs prior to Blizzcon? | ||

The first game was a crushing loss, so it may have been that. sOs was so prepared for the build and there was nothing that Maru could do right. He played right into sOs, so by the time things started to go wrong in game 2, I think he was really struggling from a psychological perspective. | ||

In reality, GSL is the most important tournament - there is a reason why sOs, the most successful player at Blizzcon (as in, whilst playing at Blizzcon) is not even in the discussion (remotely) for best sc2 player of all tiem. | ||

For someone who doesn't really follow the game, this strategy feels really bizzare coming from BW. Maybe things are different due to the higher starting work count.
