That was a straight drive by. When Maru plays that mass Widow Mine drop style he makes it look so busted lol.

Meanwhile he has a long history of widow mine drop spam builds against protoss that don't work

i love how the observer was so triggered about that main base mine, he was keeping an eye on it constantly and maru and rogue forgot about it

Ok so hear me out. Had Maru pushed with those hellbats and marines he'd have gotten surrounded and cleaned up by those lings and queens and he has to play that style from a deficit all game. Great restraint by him

I'm not questioning his restraint, I'm questioning whether that build was worth going for at all?

I think they are complete opposites. Darks cockiness has a cool, mysterious, dark vibe. While Reynor comes of as goofy, priggish, and just plain annoying. But yeah, its subjective anyway.

Oh, so I'm not the only one xD

Imagine if Maru didn't lose 18 workers to the counterattack at the start btw

Yeah for sure, to the extent that it actually looked like the plan was to posture towards Rogue's front as a way to get his mine drops in. Not sure if that was an adjustment he made or a judgement call he made on the fly, but great decision making in game 1, that's for sure

Rogue can obviously pull this back but I think I speak for most of us when I say Reynor vs Maru when they're both playing this well? Yes please

Rogue's only chance was to turtle with lurkers, and the idea of someone using nukes to punish that is amazing to think about

Maru's nukes is the ultimate game decider, but for both parties.

Cross server though is a sad thought. Especially when Maru and Reynor are probably both known for micro heavy playstyles.

Well he tried the hellbat pushed against Rogue multiple times in the past I think maybe a fake committal to it followed by that mine style was a bit of a mind game given their history? Not sure
