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. Maru's group was not nearly hard enough that he should have been eliminated. I can justify Special not making it. I can justify Inno and Gumiho not making it. I can justify Bunny and uThermal not making it. But Maru has no excuse, and you're using one match that was played after Dark already won the group to make it out like Maru got eliminated while playing really strong. In reality, Maru played far below his potential, which is true for most of the Terrans in the main tournament, including TY. None of them were really convincing for more than 1 series. All of the best Terrans in the world played below their potential. That's so much more likely than the alternative. I thought we were discussing who was the most impressive Terran this tournament. Which to me was none of them. I didn't realize this discussing had anything to do with game balance. Gumiho at least had the BC game. that wins the award since they all were destroyed several times. Bunny was definitely not the best terran but I was really happy with how he played and I think overall he showed good games
He had some really good TvZ. A shame he was never more than a promise because on a good day he has that CJ terran style attacking everywhere all the time.

Bunny really rekt himself against the foreigners. He beat soO and TY and didn't advance because he couldn't bring it against Scarlett and uThermal.

I do feel like Bunny has been stepping it up lately so who knows, he also as a pretty decent shot at making ro8 this gsl season

Dark is almost a bigger Kong than soO considering he lost to soO in a final.

I often think of Bunny's play as similar to TY but just somewhat worse in every aspect.

Dark won his first Starleague finals and KeSPA Cup is a special event (which Kongs are allowed to win), so Dark is barely safe in my book.

he's like a more aggressive TY that is way worse at late game control and like drops a little too much, makes for very fun games though
