Reynor came pretty close to beating Maru in Code S last year and he's looking strong now. Maru will win but I expect Reynor to put up a good fight
In the group, the last year Maru looked weak in all RO16/32 groups. Well, weaker than in play offs.
The this year Maru looks weak in 50% of his games, no matter when and where though
He hasn't been seen in playoffs this year. Last year he almost lost to guys like Zanster in GSL groups but put in the effort to smash guys like Dark/Stats/TY/Classic/Rogue etc when it reached playoffs
Lol he didn't exactly "smash" TY, did he? And that goes for a couple of others too. And as pointed out above it's only relevant for three Code S tournaments + WESG, he wasn't great in playoffs in any other tournament
He won while using his BO in the last game, I would call it master trolling
These guys are both terrible... Neeb walking around the map without a prism like a headless chicken and Reynor just amoving 30 banes to storms and archons. Still hoping for Neeb to show a solid last game and advance because Reynor looks to be in a bad shape overall and he would just get embarassed by Maru...

"smashed" was a sweeping statement given he didn't lose to any player in the playoffs. Some matches were obviously closer than others but when you go 33-13 in maps and 9-0 in series during GSL playoffs (against sOs, Zest, Stats, Classic, Gumiho, TY, Dark, and Rogue) it's safe to say he fucking smashed it.
Compared to groups where he almost lost to Zanster, Reynor, Keen etc at least
Edit: as far as tournaments go he didn't really seem to try outside of Code S, Wesg, Katowice, and blizzcon. And he was good in playoffs of all of those except blizzcon. And even then it seemed like less his skill that he lost and more his strategic choices going in.

That wasn't what you wrote in the other post, but fair enough. And yes Maru was much better in Code S playoffs than group stages.
That doesn't change the fact that he was not amazing in any other tournament, except WESG. And the whole "Maru only loses when he doesn't take it seriously" is frankly just ridiculous.

I didn't say he only loses when he doesn't take it seriously, but in the case of the smaller events like super tournaments it's clear he really didn't. He said himself he didn't practice for them and took the time as a break from Code S.

Considering the JAGW is the only real team left - they have a team strategy for sure. Maru was a clear Blizzcon attendee, maybe he received an order to train with others to try to thelp them to achieve the Blizzcon. I mean - when the sOs was on line it appeared that everyone was trying to stop Solar as their XvZ was astonishing and everything else looked unimpressive(to say the least)
