Is it Maru, or is the foreigner inside Heromarine?

I know Maru is one of the best in the world but I just don't know how HM wasn't able to close that out. Ugh.

If you can't close out a game where you're up 70 workers to 28 and your opponent fails to do any damage to you, you're not going to come back from 0-2 against them.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

What if Maru plays mech to handicap himself?

It is always kind of sad when the losing player puts up good fight while still losing 0-3, because nobody remembers how close the games actually were. Also many seem to just look at the score and thing that it was really one-sided just because it was korean vs. foreigner.

That's not a handicap and you know it.

I'll tell you what, this day is fine, but tomorrow I think every match has the potential to be a banger.

That's why everyone is playing mech

Seriously speaking, I imagine Gabe just has less experience in these hyper-late TvT scenarios whereas toxic Raven standoffs seem to happen every other day in KR.

Big gabe is handicapped by the fact Clem is the only other good foreign terran

HM has a history of nerve getting the better of him, he had a good number of this kind of thing happening to him.

With all that said, it really was a nice defense from Maru to get back in the game

I believe Maru went for faster 2nd factory and delayed 3/3 but not delayed 2/2/2. So he had better tank production for a while so he never had less tanks than HM, especially considering HMs tanks had to drive there through the map.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I bet if Serral were playing as Terran, he never would have made the same mistake Maru did in the early game, nor would he have lost the advantage like HeroMarine did!

Siege Tanks don't seem like a very good unit for these damage-trading situations.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.
