Honestly Maru looked pretty good that series and even though he was going mech for 3 out of 5 games, it was a lot more successful than his bio (tbf he was playing from behind with bio).

Maru doesnt "throw" tournaments.

He also said many times that he takes breaks during events like these so he can practice harder for the ones with more money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


So Blizzcon wasn't paying enough?

I genuinely do not know if Maru had prepared that specifically for Stats or if he was just fucking around.

It legitimately looked like it could be either or and I just do not know how to call it.

He played incredibly well... It's sad that the Maru fanbase would rather diminish the efforts of Maru than acknowledge the quality of Stats' gameplay.

As a person with a big BW background who started to play SC2 recently and as a Terran player, I read in my preparation for the game that mech just does not work vs Protoss, however, watching Maru's games vs Stats here I cant understand where this statement came from? I understand that Maru is very good, probably the best but what he was doing with the mech did not look as something so exclusive for people to say that mech is not viable? Anyone care to explain?

So the reason Dark didn't make it to the Code S finals is

I still don't understand what happened to Stats on the RO32, he has looked so sharp here and at IEM.

Usually mech is very abusable in early game, especially to certain timing attacks. Maru has the best unit control in the world and he can keep Protoss of his side of the map long enough that P can't establish map control before the mech reaches it's critical mass.

The most common scenario when a Terran attempts mech is that Protoss will archon/immortal/chargelot bust them before 1/1 finishes on the armories and control the game from there.

Going BC or nuke rush is fucking around. Going mech feels like he was just trying something new/cool. Like how in the past he sometimes went skyterran vs zerg.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
