Maru and Inno should have this easily


There's one player I will never count out for an upset, and it's Patience. Calling it now, he advances in first and then Maru loses to Inno in the decider.

Ignorance is bliss, I wish I had this much confidence in myself as you do when it comes to writing off Maru's losses as whatever fits at the given time.

If it makes you feel better I called this happening when the groups were announced.

Yes, I know you say it every time Maru plays anything. We got the hint. He's the best and just disrespects Stats/Patience/doesn't try

Heh man, the rage and saltiness is real in Sc2's forum if you compare it with BW's.

I remember how kindly people reacted to the latest defeats Serral had to suffer, if Serral's fan were as bad as they like to depict them I should be shouting how Maru sucks and is washed up right now; it would be, however, a blatant lie the way those posts were.

Patience studied Maru deeply while he underestimated our Protoss friend like he always does, ending up dying to tailored builds and nice execution . Inno(almost) always had an edge over Maru in TvT and the series more or less played out as expected; it has to be said he impartially administrates justice, he took from Serral before and now he takes from Maru as well.

Maru is out after one year and half, his streak was becoming boring; I hope this season will belong to some of the great names who are still missing a Code S(all of the Zerg, TY, some of the Protoss).

The next time we do a power rank there should be a "respect" component to reflect how hard the player tries. It seems to be very important.

I feel like Maru wins despite misreading and responding in a completely crazy way to a lot of strategies and moves, he is a mechanical god, not an rts master mind. I used to think that Maru didn't respect some players too, but he just plays in a weird way and does his thing and makes it work.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Oh bullshit. Check more games of Patience and you realize he goes random builds every time and when it works it looks really awesome. Just check more of his games, he's not that trash some people think and can pull surprise builds out of his protoss bag of tricks.

He didn't study anything otherwise he wouldn't have lost in previous games(he was hiding builds, I know, but not using anything from his studies and losing hilariously...? )

That'd be nice, but it's probably going to be another PvP fest like Super Tournament. ZvP in Korea has looked pretty hopeless all year.

I just need the ignore function and I will be happy. Let's take a thread not about Serral to make it into Serral talk... like dafuq?

Feel free to present another explanation as to why he has consistently been sloppy in the ro32 yet almost been untouchable in the playoffs for over a year.

Is Maru just better against tougher competition? Or are Patience/Zanster/Leenock/Ragnarok/Keen just better than Stats/TY/Dark/Rogue/Gumiho/Classic?
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I think he just loses patients with it, nice pun

I don't think inno will be able to do it in his current form, his macro is on point, but everything else doesn't seem to be champion tier.

Considering how he has looked vs Protoss all year long, I have very strong doubts.

Inno's TvZ and TvT are in top form, but he has not looked like he can handle any Protoss at all, even when I catch his streams he just gets annihilated by Protoss constantly.

Maybe with some good bracket luck he can make Ro8, but he's gonna have to show a resurgent form in TvP to stand a chance of getting to the Ro4, since Protoss seems to be very favored in PvZ in Korea.

For most of the time it was his TvZ that was questionable.

He got one of his title by beating the Peak Innovation in 2013 in one of the shortest series He was better in HotS TvT than he's in LotV TvT(the pre-game stats showed that pretty clearly, because they were almost equal while Inno leading 9-4 in LotV games)

Protoss. Let's see who get into RO8 but if Stats found his old mojo, I would bet on him. Getting another 2nd place
