Strong player for such a long time, and over a wide range of tournaments FYI the one SSL that inno won was shaky. Weird format, very little prize pool and stuff. When maru won SSL, it was at the competing level as GSL. | ||

Just sayin. How very dare you bring that memory up. Yes I’m as impressed watching Maru now as I was Inno then If Inno’s wrists had exploded when he was at his absolute peak vs the rest of the scene, he might be thought of as better by some than vs how his career progressed subsequently. | ||

There was something about the skills he brought that no-one else really had at the time. Also the type of tournament he chose to play in (like those IPL ones that were amazing) probably helped. Ah, glorious times indeed. That IPL Team League was insane, still close to the most impressed I’ve ever been watching the game, and hyped. Granted it was unique in that it was a weekender and a team league too, so a team league without so much prep being possibly, kinda interesting. It’s hard enough to win an individual weekender where BO wins can still be a factor in Bo3s, crushing it in Bo1s that consistently across all 3 matchups was pretty nuts to watch. Need to rewatch those actually. | ||

It's quite interesting to compare these two, Inno is more of wave function, when he dominates he dominates everything but then he's going into a downfall and when he's down there he's really down. While Maru is like a straight line with slight variance(up or down), he's very consistent but never as dominant as Inno was. On the other hand he usually doesn't fall that down as Inno does. Both have awesome history  | ||

he has been playing since WOL, and 2018 wasn't the only year he was winning. mvp is #2 because he won despite his shattered wrists, in fact that would keep him at #1 in my book, for being a massive underdog. each win of his is worth 100 wins of anyone elses. but if we're just going by wins to determine GOAT BONJWAS, then yeah maru is #1. NO ONE WILL EVER REPLICATE WHAT MARU HAS DONE. in fact the only one who can beat maru's record of 4 x gsl in a row at this point is.... MARU himself. OF COURSE, THERE IS A HUGE ELEMENT OF LUCK INVOLVED. the luck being - will maru have to face Inno, TY or SOS, the only people who could threaten him in a GSL? if not, next season is a wrap as well. | ||

No need to rub it in tho. even though i agree with you, that's not where i was going with it lol. i mean even if gsl doesn't shut down, no ones gonna do a 4peat like maru, only maru can top that record next season. | ||

Not sure how I missed that, although the real interesting GOAT chat we’ll have to negotiate more of the brackets ofc It’s been pretty fun to see all these names from SC2’s entire History come up again. | ||
