I feel like he's always had good micro, at least better than people give him credit for. But I think calling his micro this series 'on fire' is a huge stretch. He consistently lost considerably more probes than he needed to to mine drops, overextended with gateway units, lost an oracle to a mine when he was actively microing it, ect. Really what was impressive here was his relentless pressure allowing him to capitalize on every mistake Maru made. He took advantage of the huge advantage Protoss has in the earlier stages of the game before stim + medivac are done.

Nah you don't get Patience, he's probably gonna get bop by Keen next round.

the great sc2 debate: what's more important, doing flashy mouseclick tornadoes that look cool or causing the other guy to quit the game? more on this at 11 I think Blizzard got the "making people quit the game" thing figured out really nicely. Bonjwa?
i like the game i'm spending my time watching! it's a good game and i have fun watching and playing it

He'll be in a perfect position to hold then blink all of his stalkers into the lings for no reason then try to recall out.

And it won't even be a throw, it'll be some really poorly executed 3 gate blink into getting stomped by a 2 base tank push. But you know, we could always imagine a world where patience is consistent... or not

The player who F2s so often and can't even use the Observer spotting mode to not move his observers? Patience and micro? Actually I believe Patience would get 4-2 in BO7, but BO3 is more suitable for his style.
yea he was in a groove when it came to the adept and stalker control.

Patience has been better than average in 2019, this groupstage confirms he might be growing into a player of higher caliber.
I would really like to watch Inno vs Maru, let's hope Armani doesn't believe he's Solar.

I dont think it was really a question of micro, I think that Patience really caught them both off guard, Maru less so than Inno, but it felt like Maru's play strongly lacked respect, I feel like he never loses game three if he just plays defensively instead of trying to harass someone 4gating him. Patience's play really reminded of prime MC, very strong execution of cheesy-ish strats, but not much more than that.

I mean it's impossible but Armani getting out in 2nd now would be so hilarious

well yea, his relentless pressure was only possible because of his excellent micro.
Controlling that many adepts in multiple groups in early pressure situation like Patience did is difficult micro. Patient was almost flawless with it and overwhelmed Maru. Of course stalkers have to be microed. His splits against the mines were excellent. Patience couldve lost so much during his pushes but he had immaculate control as well as decision making
his micro only suffered when the game went back to a more standard kind of battle in game 2. he seemed really comfortable with the adept and stalker offensive

Armani has worse macro than ZestMacro... at some point he had over 1k minerals.

Armani just really let his macro slip, over 1k/.5k when inno's push started

I want INno to beat Maru so bad

Please stop, re-view the games later and check again. He selected good builds and executed them properly, but he wasn't microing that well you are making him.

Wait he still cancelled the CC when INno knew it was pool first?
|
What's really frustrating is Maru's lack of adaptability sometimes, his play reaches almost mkp levels of dumbness when he just keeps doing what he set out to do at first when he should adapt to clearly all-in moves from his opponents, shows the lack of smart you could see in Mvp's play or Flash's in bw.
