I really don't think Cure has a chance. His TvT is just too..... crude, and barbaric to defeat TY. It's like watching the Gauls try and defeat the Roman Legion.

TY is like a Jedi, who can see into the future. Like WTF, he just picked all his marines and went - screw it, Cure won't attack! BUT I CAN. *insert evil laugh*

He's more of a Qui-Gon Jinn type of Jedi. Always living in the moment, not caring too much about the hazy future, taking big risks with Zen calmness.

I’d say it’s more akin to a Roman legion lead by a regular enough fellow vs a Roman legion lead by say, Caesar.

Cure has all the basics of Terran down and is well equipped for foreign campaigns to slay Zergs and Protoss players.

Vs TY he is using the same equipment and the same general military doctrine against a real top class general.

Calling Cure an ordinary bloke is underselling him. He rates at least to be called a Pompey.

Maru is underrated in TvT. Maybe because he does not play it as often. This year he is 10-2 in bo3+ (losses against Cure in last dreamhack finals, and against Inno in GSL groupstage).

TY is 29-9.

And these 2 always have been kinda even so I would not be surprised at all if Maru took it.

I really have to bring this up don't I.

(Wiki)2018 Global StarCraft II League Season 3/Code S

That was the last time these two faced off in a Bo7.

And if you:Run the Head to Head It's a perfectly even 50%. There's no reason to suggest that Maru is gonna lose to TY just as a matter of fact. The truth is that they're both elite and the match will be as even as one can possibly be.

Am I the only person who, watching thing game, feels like Maru should be pretty favored today whoever gets to the finals?

TY is too good at TvT for me to consider anyone to be favored against him, EVER. That said, Maru is about the most difficult opponent he can ask for.

Ok that’s fair tweak.

Maru is a strange one. I’ve known not to underestimate him in an individual TvT since he smacked Inno 4-0 in a GSL all those years ago.

If we took the top Terrans and had them play tons of games against each other with a point for every win I think TY wins that by a fair distance.

An individual series, can’t count Maru out. He looked pretty imperious against Inno the other day.

Hah. Both of these series I thought would be a 4-0 or 4-1. But both Clem and Cure are showing they have a lot more fight than I was expecting them to have. Respect. Maybe it's a knock on Maru and TY, but I'd rather just give credit to the competitors.

I'd be shocked if Cure actually came back here, but seeing him compete is nice to see.

This is how you imagine Maru would play against TY and it worked for Cure.

If Maru plays TY in the finals, I wonder if he will also go for that style today or if it's going to be more of the defensive approach that he has had in all matchups lately.
