PvP should just display the immortal count somewhere because that's pretty much what it comes down to most of the times

Sucks to play against Stats if you're not confident in your vs. Protoss o_0.

If Serral was still in the tournament this game would at least be 100x as exciting

I dunno, Stats is playing better PvP so far which doesn't really make the games look exciting. I have more hopes for Dark vs Solar.

Good games. I hope soO doesn't get another 2nd place... And Serral still manages to look pretty good in defeat (unlike Maru).


Now that Terran is out of the tournament I think Maru looks very good. His 2-0 vs Dark is the single most impressive thing a Terran did during this tournament. It is more impressive than Innovation 2-1ing Serral. While Serral is probably the best ZvP and ZvZer (despite this loss to Soo) I don't even think he is top 3 in ZvT.


Do you really? Leenock and Neeb played well, but not that well.


He looked off but he still barely lost to them. Almost every terran in this tournament lost to someone you wouldn't normally expect them to.

Maru probably had the most impressive single match performance of the whole tournament for Terran but at the end of the day he was still out in the group stage. Hard to say he performed strongly with that in mind.


All Terrans were out in the group stage besides TY who had a 3 terran group and really easy zergs. Maru would have gotten out of that group as well.


If you can lose to Leenock you can lose to Solar (RagnaroK is Lambo in this analogy).

That and an archon counter. If you have more of both it seems like you pretty much always win.

We really need a discussion to know if Korean fans or foreign fans are the best.

Does the soft lock of english barrier favor foreign fans?
Is the GSL being at 4 am mean korean fans have more passion?
How do we take into consideration the large potential of lurker?

He's really struggled with PvP since they took out the mothership core.

its pretty baffling to see Stats drop out of GSL to MC of all people and then he comes to IEM and goes on a tear through all the protoss

Solar wasn't in TYs group. I'm not saying Maru would have beaten Solar. I'm saying if Maru and TY swapped groups Maru probably gets out and TY doesn't.

Somewhat unfortunate since he came to prominence by winning a Protoss-heavy tournament.

How do you differentiate Maru fans from generic terran balance whiners?

The questions only become more difficult from there onwards.
