Was that Neeb vs TY?

It was Creator vs TY from last Super Tournament. Creator messed it up eventually like 45 minutes into the game but he had the fundamentals right I think.


creator didn't mess it up

the fact of the matter is that battlecruisers can manhandle their "counters" (tempests)

Yes, Creator messed it up.


he didn't mess up.

in a long game like that u cant do anything against a fleet of bcs with the ir unparalleled value

He was actually winning the game and then split his tempests, ran out of recalls and lost half his army separated, IIRC


was he actually "winning" when he was unable to do significant damage to TY

That's the thing with BCs. they got that damn teleportation + yamato. Creator needed to play flawlessly for an hour while TY could afford a lot more sloppiness because BCs are pound for pound the strongest unit in the game and can beat any "counter" with yamato. there's only like a 2 second difference between yamato and recall

TY also made like 20 marines to massacre teh tempest fleet because while Tempests are specialized, BCs are just all around powerful

It surely doesn't help that this season Maru's greatest weakness was TvT and all the other Terrans got taken out by other races before they got to Maru.

I think most people would beg to differ. Even as Inno fan, I think Maru has surpassed Inno at this point. No one else won 6 starleagues along with insane amount of ro4s. Inno can still catch up but it's unlikely tbh. Also, winning 4 out of 4 GSLs is pretty incredible even by BW standards.

Edit: I believe Maru won I think like 5 out of 12 premier tournaments he participated in during 2018. Unless you are comparing to FlaSh, winning 40% the tournaments sounds almost bonjwa level to me. especially since GSL is close to as prestigious as Blizzcon (some would argue that it's even more prestigious). What he's done is certainly close to as impressive as what Jaedong and Savior did in their primes (they won something like half the tournaments too) and those 2 are certainly not far off from bonjwa.

How many premier tournaments there were in these 7 months? 4?

Creator sort of had the right idea but TY was far ahead in eco iirc, you need to keep pushing forward with safe points that have batteries and cannons till you reach the terran main.

Maru is the GOAT*

when youre too old to spot doom drops that doesn't help either. I also don't feel like Terran is very forgiving to old players.

Yeah i've watched that. It looked sad and i even had hopes with Trap due to that.

Then Maru just ran through him

i thought i was talking more in general rather than specific MU

How? TY vs Trap was such a weak series from both players and Maru played an incredible match vs Dear. Maru vs Trap was hopeless from the start.

I think its because TY is really good mechanically but not nearly as shenanigans-proof as Maru, so they are pretty close skill wise in that regard.

TY wasnt far ahead in economy. He was constantly behind around 20 workers and multiple bases to creator.

He also recalled to cannon positions.
