But Trap refused to do that. That was just a poor choice of strategy and builds by Trap.
Also, some of Trap's micro against Maru was aweful. Artosis called out Trap multiple times for bad micro in game 4. Maru would just drop marauders and mines on them. Who knows how the games look like in the team house. Also Maru showed the willingness to build vikings relatively early, maybe that took the wind out of Traps colossus sails. It's probably the fact that Maru builds a raven every game which completely invalidates low colossus counts. i think after the cyclone's rework ,dude has found another unit to abuse in the early stage

What you expect he would say after 4-0 his teammate? Ohh God he is trash af? He said what he suppose to. Personally think Classic is way better then Trap.

Was this more one-sided or nestea vs inca?

I don't know why some people here don't give a chance to Classic. Maru is good now, but Classic gave many amazing long macro game vs best of the best players. He doesn't have many titles but he can beat any top player.

Yeah, Serral proved him wrong in the end, but I think at the time Maru sincerely believed that. It could be that Trap looks great in practice and something still doesn't quite make it to the stage. Or it could be that Maru thought that Classic looked good on prep vs Dark, but didn't necessarily look like "the better player" (Dark has a way of looking amazing while losing, doesn't he?). Or maybe some other things, I don't know. He was probably being polite/supportive also, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a good dose of sincerity mixed in.

Watching these games I wonder what practice matches vs Maru looked like. Trap must have abandoned every build that is even worse against him.
|
I don’t think Maru believed Rogue was better than Serral or that Trap is better than Classic. Lest we forget, Maru has champion mentality. He’s just trying to get into the head of his opponent.
Evidence of this was the camera pan to Rogue’s face when Maru said that he was better than Serral, and Rogue had this embarrassed, nervous and startled look as if he was just caught in a lie.

Maru was obviously referring to Rogues ZvT when he made that statement. Serral has never had better ZvT than Rogue.

Doesnt he realize he’s playing against someone who’s dumb enough to suicide Hellions? yeah so dumb to suicide hellions, after all if you save them they are good vs any unit protoss can build /s but yeah a wall would be helpful lol Allow me to blow your mind: it is in fact possible to not build the Hellions in the first place good thing you aren't Maru's coach
just read the thread but its mindblowing how people think they know better, not just in this context of someone talking trash about one of the greatest sc2 players of all time, but in general. yes, good thing this guy isn't maru's coach. who knows, maybe this poster is a top GM, but somehow doubt that

Hard to say when Serral didn't face anyone after Inno at GSL vs the World in 2018; I see how Maru could be convinced of that tho(despite losing that bo1 direct confrontation).
