It looked like maru was playing a game against an AI he knew by heart.

Ionno, I think Reynor is figuring out what his end-game units should be as the series goes along. His final army was good; he just assembled it when he was already out of money. 0-2 might be too late tho, even if he's figured it out in theory.

Terran is probably a little favored vs zerg right now but in this game Maru outplayed the fuck out of Reynor, it was absurd

I'd say Serral would stomp this style from Maru. He's way more patient than Reynor.
Stylistically Maru is the worst rival for Reynor.

I think Maru is adapting his playstyle to Reynor's playstyle. If Reynor doesn't change anything, he'll lose.

Notice how different Maru played against Rogue. He knows what he did against Rogue will not work against Reynor.

If Maru plays like this against Serral on the other hand, I think he would have lost.

I think if he goes into the late game comp right away, Maru is gonna have more space aswell though.

I believe it has more to do with ping than the opponent.

He caught Maru by surprise initially with the Broodlords, so he had that advantage going for him. If Maru had caught that transition earlier he would have had a better time against it.

Also caught a really nice fungal/Parasitic Bomb on the Vikings.

Maru just adjusted, destroyed his eastern mining, forcing Reynor to expand super close to Terran which is not where he wanted to fight. That final fight took place primarily off of creep.

So Maru's got the late game figured out WAY more than Reynor does in this series. Reynor will need to do more than just adjust his unit comp to beat him. Solar looked better in the late game than Reynor has so far.

Sylistically Maru is the worst rival for Reynor.

Guy who has lost tens of thousands of dollars by not completing his wall properly is a bad matchup for guy who's famous for winning games with run-bys? What a world
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

You couldn't make this timing up

BL-Infestor-Spore trades way better than Lurkers + crap tho; well enough to bludgeon ppl to death with money like Serral has shown.

This is definitely shaping up to be a series worthy of the stage for sure

BTW Crank has 8k viewers from Korea while the rest of the world has 58k (x7). SK has 50M population vs 750M in Europe (15x).
Ergo SC2 is more alive in korea than in Europe, MUCH more if you consider that a part of those 58k are not europeans.

It's going to be really hard for Maru to take a 5th on this map. If it goes late game again, Reynor is going to have a much easier time against it.
