How did Maru win? Can’t really watch it in the car (passenger dw)

In a complicated full map game, Maru held against a relentless harassment of muta/ling/bane then ultra and slowly muscled his way into a better economy.

It was far more complicated that thou.

Let see if Serral keeps refusing to play hydras/lurkers instead of LBM into Ultralose. He must have a good reason, maybe the possibility of backstabbing production with mutas, but against Maru's cost-effectiveness it may not cut it.

Spire again, so no.

Maru was like 24K ahead on resources by the end of that game, Serrals game relied completely on not letting him get those last two bases up

Yeah, his game plan was basically to set up his economy and then throw stuff at Maru until he starved. I think he ended up throwing too many units away to deny the 5th which left him unable to stop the planetary at the 6th.


I saw a a dozen of mine hits that in some circumstances could be considered game ending as well. Just huge efficiency from Maru overall.
I was laughing so hard when one of the casters was praising Serral for his amazing efficiency lol

I feel like most of the bad hits happened in the last few minutes where Maru had already fought his way into a lead. And anyway, you can afford to be 20k resources lost behind if you manage to keep the game to 7 vs 5 bases

Don't know what's the 3rd map, but how about that shiny gold map with the open 3rd?

Serral ahead in upgrades playing whack-a-mole with Maru's bases. He has improved his cost-effectiveness a lot too but Maru's ghosts count is growing scary.

Nah, i remember the name of the old maps the new sand map with the triangle bases and the 3rd having open left/right side.

On this map? At one point Maru will run out of money and this time it will be sooner.

Serral is mining way more gas this game. Maybe he just needed more banelings last time

Looks like it but still I feel like Maru's defensive style works comparatively well against Serral and his high-drone/high-trade style.
