Crap I just woke up, missed all games. Rip my liquibets Armani...
Should be an easy match to the finals for Maru though.

How did Maru the godlike Terran manage to beat Trap? Was scared to open that bracket

I think the real shocker here is really Zest's play. Yes, the final game was a Drone drill and many players lose to it if unprepared (as with every all-in out there. Although I think you shouldn't be completely caught off guard by an underdog going for something like that in the decider), but if he does not throw the first two games like that, the cheese just means a map and not a match-win for Armani.

Maru just showed up how I expected him to. Armani did look quite good in ZvT, but I really doubt he can win in the Ro4.

As much as I've been rooting for Armani, he doesn't stand a chance against Maru. It's looking extremely likely to be a Stats/Maru final, and I'm definitely seeing a Stats victory (even though I really really really want Maru to win).

To anyone saying that Maru has this in the bag and G5L remember that Stats is a large part of why we never got Maru vs Serral.

He didn't stand a chance against Zest either if Zest actually took the games seriously.

This series was a straight up GIFT to Armani. Someone that watches this series seriously can't possibly tell me it wasn't.

Honestly, Stats and TY both would be tough opponents for Maru in the finals. Maru *just barely* won against TY in their last finals, and although he obliterated Stats in the finals in 2018, I'm not sure we'll see that version of Finals-Maru again this year.

I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

It’s not done yet. Armani looks free for Maru but TvZ is super hard so I wouldn’t be so confident. Good thing is Maru is even more godlike in bo7 GSL.

As for the finals, seeing their recent encounter, Stats would be the hardest opponent. Maru might win in bo7 finals with Jin Air preparation though, especially against Kong Stats.

TY seems hard but Maru is the ultimate god of TvT judging by King of Battles. If TY didn’t beat Maru in his 3rd GSL in a row, I don’t think he is gonna beat this Maru tbh. But the preparation / weirdness of TY can carry him in the finals.

Either way this is super exciting, the only « bad » match can be Armani vs Maru if it’s a quick 4-0 or something, but TY + Stats and the finals should absolutely deliver!

Armani advancing is so cool, but Armani vs Maru looks really tough for the clothing brand. Then again, the guy making Ro4 was unlikely to begin with, so you never know?

Maru's play was short of a genius today and it was an inspiration to watch, really. Since I don't see Armani advancing, either Maru/Stats or Maru/TY are one hell of a finals! Super exciting!

True but still Stats matches up quite well against Maru and he is in the best PvT form I've ever seen for him.

Disagree, Zest is so up and down that I didn't see an Armani win as an outright impossibility. But Maru, it is.

Adepts are pretty shit in general, but even worse when raven anti-armour is involved cuz they tend to stack hardcore

Maru dodged the adept-mine splash like a champ and hit the anti armour missile on everything while the adepts landed on 3 widow mines. Trap took the maximum damage he could have possibly taken there.


I need to re-watch that fight. For a second I thougth Maru might be in trouble then Trap just evaporated.


Honestly Maru seems unbeatable TvP right now. It's very fun to watch.


Maru just got steamrolled by stats in the group stage.

and trap underperformed imo.



Stats and Maru are different players in group stages and BO5s / BO7s. Still think Stats has a solid chance because, well, PvT, but Maru and Rogue are two guys you don't want to play in offline BOX.

After King of Kings and last night, I think Maru is firmly back as the #1 player in the world.

There is nobody who is a smart bet vs Maru in a match vs him. He is currently good at everything.

If Stats makes it to the finals and wins, he would be beating a Maru that is better than he is ever been. Pretty cool.
