TY is screwed for BlizzCon unless he has a miraculous run at Super Tournament, right? What do you mean by "on this patch"? Maru is anything but a patch Terran. | ||

Pretty sure he meant is as an equivalent for the period of time this patch has, than the actual changes the patch brought. Like 2/3 patches ago Inno was the best Terran. Catch my drift? | ||

On some other patches I'd see TY/INno/Maru capable of beating Serral (with Cure/Gumiho able to with a bit more luck) but this one seems really tough so only Maru seems to have a shot at it. | ||

I think his moves are pretty smart, at least vs Rag he wasn’t doing silly things but Maru in top gear is playing super efficient, high risk, often low reward moves constantly and grinding people down. He was always picking up and saving marines right on time, not losing medivacs and not making big positional blunders with his armies. I think the main problem with his style is it’s really not a style you can execute well if you’re having a bad day at the office. But I think it’s a smart style if you’re that mechanically strong use your advantages as part of that style. Watching Maru reminds me of Oberyn fighting the Mountain. The gameplan is good, arguably only he can execute said gameplan, but if you fuck up at all you can still die. | ||
