that's what we thought for his series vs Leenock and Trap, and look how that turned out


Most people thought Trap would be the hardest match for Maru so that one wasn't a huge surprise. Neeb has just notoriously struggled against Maru, their styles clash in a way that is very beneficial for Maru so if he loses, it would be a genuinely huge surprise.
Ganzi beat me without stim. Ostojiy beat me with a nydus. Siphonn beat me with probes. Revival beat my sentry-immortal all-in.

How so? Trap wasn't expected to beat Neeb, but to say the truth he wasn't expected to beat Maru as well xD
Leenock will tell us how the story ends. Lambo, on the other hand, has always been the ultimate underdog in this group.

IF Maru loses against Neeb he's 90% out of the group; I don't think he ever lost a single series against him tho.

Because stream is free of charge, and these skins is the only thing that really pays for your viewing SC2 tournaments. Its crazy how we are taking for granted a lot of things these days.

Well seeing annoying skins won't make me buy skins so I don't think this strategy will work for them

- Maru 3 raxs, sees leenock not reacting, cancels 3rd rax, and still kills Leenock's natural
- Maru gets maximum value out of his 3 bunkers and marines
- Leenock cancels expo after its scouted and builds a nydus
- Maru doesn't anticipate the nat cancel into nydus into ravanger all-in and therefore does not have one corner of his base in vision
- Maru gets put into a disasterous position which he holds out on for longer than any other Terran would

IncontroL: Maru is stupid and he plays stupid... how dare he try and scout with a cyclone when the zerg player could have canceled his nat and built a nydus worm...

is this real life?

I never thought Trap would be a walkover for him. I thought they'd be 50/50


It's usually 50:50 against sOs, Stats and Classic whereas Trap should be weaker.
On the other hand, Maru and Trap never played while Maru was the best player in the world and they were 9-9 in maps before today.

you bought the skins because they are shown in tournaments but didn't buy them before?

he definitely played badly. third cc when zerg just put down their natural is greedy and overconfident, and thinking that leenock is so oblivious about the game that he would actually try to play macro from that position is naive.. leenock didn't even attack with his ravagers; did he think he just made them defensively? he got overconfident and greedy without scouting to confirm his strategy is viable. the fact that leenock has been doing nydus every matchup this tournament and maru didn't expect it is even worse and shows he most likely hasn't prepared because he was overconfident.

sorry dude maru got heavily outplayed both matches he lost

Making a 3rd CC,canceling his tank after killing the zerg natural is not stupid? I'm just a plat Terran but even I wouldn't do this.

You're a plat terran, and if Maru doesn't do what you would do he is stupid?

Well actually, I think that is the reason he is the best and you're plat. You can question Maru's decision making but you can not call him stupid. Every decision he makes is deeply considered and part of a plan. Being a flaming bully is not the right response.

well after losing to Trap I don't think Neeb will beat either Maru or Dark so... at best going 2-3 is probably not enough to get out of the group

lol, really? I thought he was hilarious. And he's not wrong, Maybe I wouldn't be as blunt as he did in calling Maru stupid, but it was still stupid nonetheless

Most people who are akin to buy skins already did so


a) if you are not the target selling group - it doesnt mean others are not
b) you can't prove that most people already bought skins and there will be no more skin purchases
c) complaining about free stuff which actually costs a shitload of money is generally not a good taste, but i share your disliking skins. I also don't like skins like AT ALL. I do love watching SC2 esports so if this is the price to pay - i happily accept and endorse this.
