I dont know about that, I think it's just been more of a rock paper scissors thing in TvT among the horsemen, with Gumiho being the dark horse that shakes it up.

He won't. Korean Zergs are generally in a bad state and Korean Protosses seem to know how to ZvP. Unless some balance update comes in.

I don't even know what to say. NotLikeThis Maru

Stay positive guys. This keeps our favorite pastime interesting. New Code S champ finally

Anyway, I'm sure maru will do a lot better in the next code S. Hopefully inno gives us some terran representation in the later stages 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.
I think the chances of IEM/ST repeating are very high.

Which probably won't happen because it would just guarantee a massive ZvZ fest in the foreign scene (not that it isn't one already). Korean Zergs are feeling the pain that foreign Terrans have been feeling since.... always.

Oh, I have come to greatly respect Patience as a player in 2019; I was disappointed when he qualified for IEM, but he has shown real growth as a player and he should not be underestimated. Don't be surprised if he wins something this year.
If you realize there are some builds you could use against a certain opponent I'd say it's better to use it in Code S than in the group stages of a team based tournaments, don't you think? Thus said, since I am not sure of that, Patience may have just pulled out lucky builds; they just seemed extremely effective against what Maru was doing.
The fact Maru loves to pick Patience for his Code S groups may have even lead Patience to try his hardest to defeat him, in the post game interview Patience mentioned he was someway offended by this behavior if I heard it right.

It makes a lot more sense to say that Maru plays much better and at his peak when he gets to prepare extensively (mostly due to the help of his teammates and coach) for one player instead of playing like he would on the fly/ on ladder/weekenders plus he is a mechanical god, and sometimes being a god lets him pull through despite his wonky suboptimal on-the-fly play, but if he doesn't have the perfect setup he is very beatable by a lot of players that don't play standard and that he didn't study/prepare for enough, that's the most logical explanation to me.
Btw, did you guys notice the difference in respect Maru had for Inno when compared to Patience? In both games vs inno he gged out in a considerably better position than the ones he did vs Patience, it was like he believed he could beat Patience with half the supply, but not Inno.

This hits it pretty well IMO. And is the reason why I don't consider him GOAT. It is just too niche

Yeah that's why he looked 2 leagues bellow. Suuuuure. He didn't do anything imposant, he had luck on his side. Patience isn't a good player, good player doesn't f2 3 warp prisms into the same location and then forgets these exist. Jeez, Patience is a strong player, people respect him, but he's not a good player. He's a good Patience and this works only for Patience.

How can you prepare for 30141 Protoss BS builds? I mean, no offense to your analysis, Classic played a similar style so it wasn't like Maru didn't have any preparation. Mistakes happens - see MeomaikA games. He did mistakes and lost G5L trophy because of it. BO3 is still pretty volatile in SC2 considering all the proxy shenanigans that can go and how it's easy to lose in BO loss with the new economy. In the end Maru won 2018 with proxies because of this reason IMO

Thing is even his mechanics are worse in groups compared to playoffs. It's not like he's winning playoff matches through just preparation and build orders, although that is a big part.
The difference in skill between who he beats in playoffs and who he loses to in groups is astonishing. No one should be surprised he lost to Patience/INno when last season he almost went out to Bunny/Impact.

That's exactly what I think; it explains well both why he lost at BlizzCon and why Maru is the one benefitting the most of Jin Air's teamhouse(he is a mechanichal monster but his decisions on the fly aren't the best; when you give him time to prepare and builds to execute, he is the fittest to succeed with them on top of how well he plays sc2).

So why he had ace kills in PL? You can't fully prepare on that format... this simply doesn't make sense but I'm just mentioning this for like 50th time again and you will ignore it again or dismiss it.

In this situation both players can't prepare, then his mechanical prowess can and will prevail often, but what if a player can prepare for him, but he doesn't get to do the same to the extent that he needs to cover everything? That's my main point here, I think almost anyone in the top 25 can beat Maru if they play in an unorthodox way that targets his standard way of playing.
