Yes Maru one more!!
It looks clean so far but always be wary of Rogue, who made multiple comebacks versus terrans in the past

One more for the dream Maru - Zest finals!

Maru's always been way better at multitasking than Inno, even in 2013. Inno has always been more straightforward and singleminded. Maru dances around while Inno brute forces his way through.


What made me a Maru fan in the first place though was how Maru brute forced his way through his opponents with pure multi path aggression and micro.

Yeah he was like that in 2016/2017 especially, but didn't have as much success with it except in proleague
He added a bit of clever tempo to his play and became even more deadly

Inno tries to make less mistakes than his opponent.
Maru forces his opponent to make more mistakes than him.

Two very different approach of the game and you can find players in both categories in every race (Serral vs Life for example).
Zest fanboy.

I get what you mean, but I wouldn't call that brute force. Maru usually has lots of drops going around and he just keeps ramping up the pace until the other guy can't keep up anymore. Whereas Inno shoves one big push in the other guy's face.

Maru is definitely more entertaining to watch, but his play isn't as clean or precise.

Rogues ZvT doesn't look great. I would love to praise Maru but Rogue plays really really poorly. I don't think Dark would have been down that easily. Unfortunate for teh people that want to see great games because I feel this IEM is reaallly lacking a bomb-series

There were some great series in the groups and offline qualifiers, but yeah the playoff brackets have been a bit lackluster.

Tbh when two players that knows eachothers styles this well in TvZ could you say that the terran get the advantage? I mean zerg generally tries to defend and get an economic edge, if terran knows the zerg players defending style that could be a bigger advantage.

It goes both ways, Zerg also knows the early agression builds of the terran.

So did people mostly vote for Serral 'cos he was white?


Yes, that must be the case. Or maybe because Serral is the one who won the most titles in the last two years.

i'm with you, but maybe don't take every bait thrown around


That's(also) what I am here for.

I'd say the opposite in general. Knowing what aggressive builds the terran has is more important than the particular of how zerg defends. Though teamkills tend to be rather weird regardless.
