cool dude, its one ghost but its also one thing out of many on the screen

I'd say when you have an insanely expensive army that's your ticket to win the game you should focus most of your attention on it

You should probably just by default pull back in that situation if you don't see a dot or a ghost because Terrans always attempt hail mary defensive nukes.

So, the likely scenario for Maru to get the third spot will be his win against Clem and Byun defeat to Solar. Otherwise, Byun can sneak in.


I believe Maru only needs to beat Showtime to be guaranteed to go through no matter how Byun plays

Maru could go 3-2, 6-5 and ByuN could go 3-2, 7-4.


Isn't H2H the first deciding factor in case of even match score?


No, first map score, then map wins

It's actually not according to the rules listed on liquipedia

Overall map difference
Overall number of map wins
Match wins amassed between the tied participants ('Mini-League')
Map difference between the tied participants ('Mini-League')

Coin toss is weird. If the tie breaker matches end in another tire, just play the match again?

Yeah I'm assuming that is like an ultimate fail safe for the weirdest possible scenario. Can't imagine it would ever actually be used

Trick question since no sc2 game is fun.
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

This match should help decide who else (besides Showtime) is definitely out of this group.

An abridged history of Maru and nukes

Maru vs Scarlett, WESG 2018 (2019)

Maru launches 150 nukes in a 1h20m long game, kills creep tumors. Ended up resigning from a drawn position because he overlooked that Terran buildings can fly.

Maru vs PartinG, 2020 GSL Season 3

Maru accidently destroys his army with a single nuke

Maru vs Solar, IEM Katowice 2021

Maru kills Solar's entire army with a single nuke. Wins an otherwise completely lost game.

Should have included the game with 9 nukes at once vs Serral.
