From what I've seen, despite all of them having shown the ability to put on a TvT masterclass, the wins usually go like
Inno > Maru > TY > Inno

It's funny how blizzcon was never the biggest of deals over GSL until a foreigner won it. PartinG, sOs (twice), Life, and Rogue all won it and none were considered the best player of that year.

I like how Maru can get 2-0'd by a complete no name, just after losing to Bunny in GSL, just after losing to Neeb and a bunch of second tier koreans in IEM, just after getting 3-0'd in a silly way at the world finals, just after losing the korean tournament that serral won, just after losing the team match to Serral ...
and people still act like Maru is an absolute God and we JUST NEED that Maru-Serral final. Neeb is one of the best foreigners though.... he is the only person in this tournament to beat Serral mind you
you know...may be we should stop judging one player's mistake for thier current forms

What happened to the Maru that beat TY in a GSL final...sigh....
A patch that changed everything about early game TvT. Maru's builds were really bad against inno's cyclone openings on top of a lot of mistakes in the very early stages of the game.

No they didn't. Zest and soO were the best players that year by a fucking mile.
Life was considered the best on 2015, which happened to be the year sos won blizzcon.

Yeah, they look so alike and play such similar styles too
You were probably thinking of Blizzcon, which he did win in 2014 but at the end of a rather unspectacular year for him.

I'm going to trigger Maru fans: the 3 GSL wins of Maru are not that impressive since first, the top Zerg and world no 1 or 2 was not participating and second, Korean talent is on decline, so don't pretend that it means as much as like in 2014 or something.

Korean talent is definitely on decline, this is why returning players like MMA, Bomber, Taeja and MC completely crushed these wannabes when they returned.

when they won it, blizzcon didnt have a prize pool head and shoulders above everything else. the lotv era blizzcon prize pools are mammoth

Yeah thankfully the guy who got 3-0ed by Classic and then Maru wasn't at GSL

Maru so dissapointing, his performance looks shaky. I do believe peak Maru vs peak Inno TvT, Maru is better. Oh well at least we get a TvZ final.

In LotV in offline Bo3+, TY is 13–10 (56.52%) in games and 3–2 (60.00%) in matches against Maru.

it's okay that guy just won every other tournament that
a) Classic could not qualify for
or
b) Maru got knocked out early from
he also beat Classic 3-1 in WESG a week later

During the first one or two seasons Dark and Rogue were the best zergs in the world and Maru beat both of them.
During season one he even 3-0'd Serral in weekend mode
