Maru's star always shined brighter than Inno's. If you look purely at the raw ammount of results over the years they're pretty even. If you look between the lines i think Maru has a pretty solid claim. He broke into the scene while Kespa teams were all the hype, despite playing on a mediocre team. He managed to stay among the top of Korea during the blink era, while Inno needed 2 mine buffs and a hellbat buff to return to form. Won his second Starleague in early 2015 in a balanced meta, while Inno abused the broken raven mech, if it was any other Terran he would be laughed at just like RoRo and Sniper are nowadays. Maru carried JAGW in 2016 with a record similar to Flash's 2010. Figured out optimal Terran play in 3 different metas in 2018, from Ravens to midgame timings to proxy metas. Then won his 4th GSL stomping Dear, Trap and Classic when everyone said Terran had no chance in TvP. Everyone right now agrees that Maru is at the top of his career while people doubt if Inno can win another tournament.

Even if we assume Inno is ahead right now, Maru will outdo him barring some catastrophe like Life's matchfixing.

Has foreign StarCraft hit rock bottom?

Yeah considering the age difference Maru will surpass INno sooner or later if sc2 goes to live another year.

Even right now I’d say Maru>INno because of the 4GSL run and winning on bad patches compared to INno

Wow, that was extremely close! You guys gotta love your Maru, uh?
Inno is a better GOAT candidate at the moment.
