I wonder if Clem could have used his gas bank to make some ghosts to EMP ravens.

Maru's investment in full sensor tower coverage seems near guaranteed to pay for itself given the importance of positioning in TvT.

It's just a wise idea in general in this match up.

Have to say very impressed by Clem so far. I was expecting a walkover but Clem actually has a better early game every time and played really impressively overall in this last map. Maru still should be on another level, but its a lot closer than I anticipated...

Dammit, I checked the start time of Cure v TY and thought today was starting at 11am EST. Shit. What did I miss?

Yeah I’m really not a fan. Like all air units they bypass positioning round the terrain, but unlike other air units they punch holes for other units to push in through.

I wonder if we'll see any mech from Maru in this series. TY seems like a candidate to show some. Clem seems to virtually never mech, and I don't think Cure's mech is good enough to play against TY's positional expertise.

Clem continues to surprise me with the pace of his development. He went from the ‘clearly talented and looking good while losing’ phase to beating Serral and Reynor more rapidly than I’d anticipated.

Likewise in smoothing out his clear weakest matchup. Still don’t think it’ll be enough to advance today but he’s holding his own against a Maru who looked really good against Inno the other day.

Ravens have made pure Mech a really risky thing to do in TvT and the Korean meta is very high on Raven use.

Ironically, the Marine is the unit that counters the Raven the best so Marine/Tank is the meta for a good reason.

Yikes. Maru just baited Clem so hard with that. There goes Clem's entire army.

Maru with the killer instinct. Too bad Clem could not get anything out of the (small) advantage he got from the earlygame and sieging Maru's 3rd.

Ping + time zone makes it hard for Maru it seems. Hopefully he manages to close it out :x

That was a great showing by Clem. Maru is too good though. His engagements are just on point.

Yups, it's something about Maru's killer instinct and how quickly he can immediately judge whether a fight will go well or badly for him.

Probably the most underrated aspect of what makes a good Starcraft player.

Another user I remember pointing out as well that Maru’s tank siege/unsiege and judgement of range is outstanding as well. Been paying attention subsequently and it really is.
