How do the rest of the maps stack up based on what we’re seeing. Game one seemed tailor made for Maru’s defensive masterclass

Pretty bad for turtling.

And there are people here claiming there is a "huge skill gap" between Reynor and Maru. The same people who whine about casters hyping Reynor.

I have the impression Reynor tends to get overconfident right after realizing he's comfortably ahead.
It has happened against Dark and against Maru in g2 here, if he could avoid throwing mutas first and lurkers second he would have had either a nice support for BL Infestor or a rich bank.

This after pages of masturbation about how transcendental Maru is for winning splitmap TvZ.

That is probably harder to do than winning with mutas on romanticide otoh

I agree, it looks seriously difficult to punish any muta mismanagement, though. I wonder if it is as frustrating as it feels for the viewer. Lots of inaccessible space on those maps and quick health regen, not much of an economic cost to flying around even in a fortified base.


You just have to be more aggressive as Terran, you can't do Maru's defensive style on that map.

Thing is though, Reynor is at his best vs aggressive Terrans thanks to his relentless counter attacking, so that clearly isn't Maru's gameplan.

The maps are being the deciding factor in this series so far. Lightshade seems to be the first neutral map of the ones played so far. Doesn't favor either player.

I think peak Maru has the best macro in the world. Just look, -25 scv lost and he is max right away

Zest would like to have a word

Zest macro is genius. Don't need to make workers if you never take bases to mine with them

Can’t spend money if you don’t have any money right?

Maru’s the best at upping infrastructure, defences and holding off unit production to do that, or to leave space for teching and making his army more technical.

Basically all the higher level stuff beyond merely keeping money low

Maru giving us a great masterclass on why you shouldn't do low ground rax openings.

Maru taking bad walls to a new level, not having one at all. Plus the addons are on the outside with these spawns.
