EPTDark vs TY was a really good setup to the finale that was PartinG vs Maru. That was epic.

 Really awesome ro4 coming up and the fact that one of those two will be in the finals is so sick | ||

Really hope he doesn't play sick against Maru then shit the bed in the next round. We've seen Stats do it before. If he keeps his form up PartinG is winning this season. Terran can't do anything to him and he's always been an extremely underrated PvPer. edit: sad we couldn't get a PartinG Maru finals though, had Maru finished first in his group it would have probably happened | ||

After giving a bit of a though to Parting style. I think he relies too much in his vision to make those sick moves with the stalkers, I feel like any Terran that watches the replays and wants to hard counter the style will favor a raven and a viking as a tag team to snipe those pesky observers, something that Maru has already done in the past, rather than open 3 cloaked banshees. I mean you can go banshee viking raven instead. So I am not sure what Parting will bring in the Ro4 vs TY but I cant wait to watch it. | ||

PartinG the Big Boy. | ||

Probably if Dark goes pool first then he is ahead, and it all plays out vice versa. Funny how an opening can change things. | ||

There were points in that game where I was pretty sure any Diamond terran could have closed it out. | ||

He did so many bonehead things, most of all, allowing your opp to have free obs in your base even when you have 3 OCs, plus stim and medivacs seemed late. There were points in that game where I was pretty sure any Diamond terran could have closed it out. Parting is the greatest PvTer of all time and is legendary for his unparalleled blink stalker pressure. And you think a diamond Terran is going to stop it? | ||

I didn't realize that Parting was on DPG. That team is starting to overtake JinAir in my mind as the best Sc2 team. | ||

This is a classic case of a "forum telephone", and it's frustrating to witness. Rucho states that Maru let PartinG's obs go untouched in his base for minutes on end and had late upgrades, and you're just like "BUT STALKER MICRO THO". Rucho is right. Diamond Terrans would have probably scanned and killed the obs, and probably would have been less facepalmy in that game. An overexaggeration, sure. But I'll never understand why someone quotes a comment and then just responds to what they heard in their head rather than what the person actually said. PartinG's micro would have been much less relevant if Maru took care of the stated mistakes in his own play. | ||

PartinG's micro would have been much less relevant if Maru took care of the stated mistakes in his own play. I am responding exactly to what rucho said. Rucho said that Maru "donated" the game and shouldve wasted money on upgrades and tech when the greatest blink stalker pvter of all time, bar none, is going ham inside your base, and that replacing a Terran horseman with a diamond player wouldve done things that wouldve made the game less parting favored....LOL I don't think you understand how powerful blink stalkers are against early game terran. if you don't get enough fighting units you just die. Stim, medivacs, and observer sniping isnt going to save you if you simply don't have the army supply to contend with the stalkers Maru didnt donate any game, all 5 games were excellent. Maru lost game 1 it happens | ||
