Maru playing really passively. Relatively few drops, 3 CC openings all the time... needs to be more dynamic

Just like last season, all of the seeded players are struggling in their groups.


Both TY and Inno beat the players they picked though.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Maru looked like he was stuck in 2018.

True, but neither of them advanced in first.

Hm while i don't like banes either and think they're insane when zerg gets rolling, maru really was just sooo passive that he had it coming for him.

Do people complaining about Maru's passivity realize that once both races are maxed out, if the terran ever commits to a push the zerg will just runby and kill bases and workers until all the terran has left are mules?

Solar took control of the game on both of his map wins, at that point Maru is forced to defend forever and can only hope to trade better.

I'm more surprised by Maru's lack of transition in game 3. No ghosts, No libs, no armory upgrades... At least game 1 he gave himself a chance with his ghost play. Widow mines don't cut it vs ultras

I knew game 3 was over when he lifted his main instead of taking a fourth normally. Insanely hard to secure bases on Ever Dream though, no way you can turtle on that map.

But isn't that kinda dumb in itself that Terran needs to do a really good amount of damage in this match up to stand a chance to win?
Because I really did not see any mistakes from Maru in this last game it just looked impossible to win when leaving the Zerg economy intact.
I mean you basically can't move out because of Mutas so even doing damage is borderline impossible without some early cheesy builds. And then you just get screwed while your whole army is fighting 1000 banes Mutas just wreck the economy.
And this is Maru we are talking about, best TvZ player against a solid but not that great Zerg who was always a walkover for Maru. This meta is super tough...

even if Reynor is the current #1, Serral is the Aligulac GOAT for sure

I think the type of strategy that Maru was employing in the turtle first game are better played with Mech based compositions instead of such a large number of MMM units

Mines are always good to have, especially vs heavy ling bane. But when ultra shows up you need either ghost, libs or both in my opinion. Libs are super good to defend bases. Then it becomes a trading game where zerg's attack become less efficient over time, and when they start running out of bases, you can usually push and win. It's just super hard.
