The endless serral hyping on the commentary is getting a bit annoying, but i guess it's what people really enjoy

Wait Maru got eliminated already ? is he on a slump lately ? (just checked the groups)

He just made a lot of mistakes tbh. Don't really know if it's a slump or just a bad day/travel.

I saw his ladder games against Zest the other day and he looked absolutely insane, made protoss look completely lost in the lategame with constant multitasking. But he didn't show any of that here.


Jet lag doesnt exist, you filthy Korean elitist.


In my mind and without a doubt:

Maru is the best player in the world in preparation format and long tournament, because he is insanely good at preparing strategies and has the micro to do stuff no one is capable of.

Serral is the best player in the world in week/week-end tournament, by far, because he is the most solid and consistent player in the world. In this format, I think TY has a much better chance against Serral than Maru in my opinion.



Now the question is which kind of tournament is the "best representative" and there is no good answer there, it's apple and orange.

Or Maru just doesn't perform too well when he's out of his element. Some people don't like to be in too unfamiliar places and he seems quite the introverted guy

Weekend warriors are common (like rogue or taeja) but Maru to be the only player who's a GOAT contender in starleagues but never wins weekenders.

The other legendary starleague/proleague players (INno, soO, Zest etc) seemed to do equally well in weekenders.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Maru has an entire squad of excusologists, impressive, serral has none of that.

That is possible too yes, but I wasn't as impressed in GSL vs the world, and this was "home" for him.

He didn't really care about gsl vs the world or super tournament. He didn't even practice for them apparently and took them as a break from Code S

Yes, Maru dont like to travel to tournaments.

But i think it's harder to be consistent has terran since you have to gamble more than Protoss and Zergs.

Pretty sure Protoss is the race that constantly complains about having to gamble and catch the opponent off guard....

that used to be the case but players like Stats, Neeb, Showtime etc have proved you're fine using a solid macro style over and over.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

I believe they practiced to get sOs at Blizzcon. Considering the result it wasn't very wise
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Considering the number of fanboys I dare to say he has more than Maru.

I think it's kinda boring to hype the people already at the top though. I want more Clide hype .

Yeah typically only excuse was that Serral can't get good ZvT practice on EU server, but since he wins everything now it's no problem.
