Lol, positioning plays such a big role in TvT.
Clem was too impatient to get rid of Maru's tanks and lost!

It's also true that Maru has not been losing TvT games that don't end pretty quickly.

Maru Strategy:

- Get behind
- Drag game out to 20+ minutes
- Win every time

Clem looks like the younger challenger, more agile, landing hit after hit but it does not hit hard while Maru as the exeperienced old timer just waits for his opportunity and ends the game when he sees the opening. Amazing series.

That push was too slow from Clem. If you can just hang on long enough ravens always decide things.

It's crazy that Maru has become the old-timer now. I remember he was like the youngest player to ever play in a GSL (I think he was like 13 years old back in 2010)

clem is faster for sure, but I like a matchup that reward positionning and put an emphasis on thinking a bit and not just speed, the broodwar tvt was probably the most interesting matchup from this point of view.

Yes, it doesn't matter what race you play yourself, even as a Z with a limited understanding of the mu, TvT can be so exciting that it is just pure poetry. Maybe starcraft would have been better if there were only T ^^ No racial balance problems, just high-speed chess

Clem 3-0 Harstem. Does this mean Clem > Maru?


Maru 1-3 Solar, Clem 0-3 Solar. Does this mean Maru is better at the only matchup Clem has any actual important results in?

TvT has always been one of the matchups where positioning and strategy can win over sheer mechanics.

That's why "older" players like Ryung, aLive, and Gumiho could still go even agaisnt INno, TY, or Maru. Long after they had fallen behind in the other two matchups compared to them. Also why TY is so damn good compared to Maru or INno even though they are historically better mechanically.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Think thats also the reason thats the reason clems TvT always has been behind his other matchups. Ofc experience is important in TvT especially. But Clem cant just out multitask his opponents that easily especially if they play more defensively. Will be interesting to see how clem will matchup against the other eu terrans next year as he has dropped quite a lot of series against guys like uThermal and Gabe, seems his TvT has been improved and should be more consistent there.

Clem out in the first round, Reynor losing to Byun, have the foreigners stopped caring?
