This sort of builds have been used a lot by cure against reynor and serral at the king battle.

felt bad when nathanias mentioned TY for that build when its a Cure build, give the man the credit he deserves

I am a huge maru fan, but let's give other players some credit as well


remember, Mvp won GSL with a broken neck


Literally in a wheelchair

Are you guys sure you’re remembering this right? My recollection is Mvp playing as a decapitated head who used his tongue to play those series

Maybe my head is going blank but did anyone become a champion in WoL, HotS, and LotV? I think Polt is only one?

PartinG is the only player with a real shot
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Cross server or not I hope Reynor vs Maru delivers

I don't think it will... Reynor plays an horrendous ZvT style compared to Serral and cross server TvZ doesn't really deliver historically.
But I still hope Maru can manage to win and qualify for the finals, he has a decent shot


Wtf is this affirmation ? Have you seen Byun vs serral and maru vs reynor at the king battle, these games are among the most beautiful zvt I've ever seen.
Some previous maru vs reynor were great too.

i don't really recall Maru vs Reynor at king battle, but I remember a lot of Serral games against KR terrans where he took A LOT of mines shot he wouldn't otherwise. You could actually see when he played vs Clem that even during intense multitask sessions he still microe'd well vs the mines. Pretty sure it was lag; and of course the terrans didn't micro as well as with low ping.
ByuN vs Serral was good indeed but ByuN was playing a relatively campy style so the lag didn't matter as much I guess.



Zergs are taking mire mine shots, terrans are suffering more of baneling sure but the game are as exciting imo and even long game are not necesseraly decided by ping/control.
Serral lost because of strategical decision, (not going for bl, producing mutas against mass ghost...) which is good.
I am really excited for this anyway, at least, it can't be more underwhelming that the previous serie !

I think you remember the good ones and forget about the bad ones haha. Sure it's exciting anyways because it's two great players and the stakes become very high since it is ro4, but I would have wanted to see how Dark fared against real top terrans ; plus it would have been low ping for both.
@Fargo: MMA was the first iirc, with his hSC win in early LotV

They both came up with different variations of going into the mine style actually.

I say this every PartinG match, but his macro game is actually phenomenal. He can totally take TY in a lategame if he doesn't choke.

that if PartinG tries to cheese / play aggro he'll just play dirtier builds that hit even before

Oh for sure Dark-maru would have been pretty good and better for most as there are no pings but I am fine with reynor/maru (I even put the latter slightly favorite based on their recent historic).

He always looks tired. Probably some sort of evolutionary measure to lure others into traps.
