Sometimes I also feel like maru is seventeen layers deep in reverse psychology thinking "they will never expect me to cheese them twice in a row because Ive already done that 16 times and I am way better in a macro game". Meanwhile the rest just thinks that maru cheeses often. That's nonsense, Maru dominated via his proxies Proleague(best player), 3 consecutive Code S titles. What you're saying doesn't make any sense. Also now it's knowing others too well, e.g. sOs vs Maru at Blizzcon. He knew what Maru was doing even maybe before Maru did it. Let's face it, if anybody would say they're the Terran and blame the Protoss from maphacking many would be considering it  | ||

The blizzcon match against sOs is probably the prime example. sOs was struggling to beat HeroMarine in macro games and Maru still tries to proxy every game I dunno, it also goes the other way around. Like last year's first Code S where KeeN defeated him decisively and looked much the better player in their first series, and the Maru won the rematch by just proxy-raxing On March 11 2019 22:40 deacon.frost wrote: That's nonsense, Maru dominated via his proxies Proleague(best player), 3 consecutive Code S titles.

It wasn't like he won long macro games, one was a crazy basetrade at like 7 minutes or something, and in the other Maru went for fast 3CC and lost to early cyclone aggression. Even in that second game he almost came back from what was otherwise a dead position by just being a better macro player than Keen. A better example would be the WeSG final against Dark last year. Dark went up 3-2, winning 3/4 of the lategames, then Maru proxied two maps in a row to win 4-3 | ||

If Inno wins his group there is a good chanche of Serral vs Koreans happening as early as ro8; unless the draw is predetermined, moreover, there is a whopping 15% of Maru-Serral eventually taking place. | ||

Maru apperantly wasnt aware of that. This had not a whole lot to do with being the better/lesser player. Proxy was the only way to avoid that. But technically your point stands. | ||

Even in that second game he almost came back from what was otherwise a dead position by just being a better macro player than Keen. Well, Leenock outplayed him pretty hard in a straight up macro game at IEM in game 1, and then Maru proceeded to do proxy rax in g2 and g3 giving him huge early advantage (which he threw away in g3), so people here who think they know better than Maru how he should play like... most probably don't. | ||
