Can you really call underdog the guy who won the most premiers in 2020?


His recent history vs korean T wasn't so great and Maru appeared in top shape or at least pretty close to so yes, I was considering Reynor as a slight underdog and actually, I still think Maru played a bit better in this serie but Reynor was resilient so gg !

- Maru even had the last game won despite his macro being way slower than previos games. All he had to do was attack Reynor before he established his bases and built infestors but he just waited there to die

Oh well, its up to you Zest to stop this nonsense now. It would be a huge disappointment and very underserving if someone won the world championship solely based off luck.

Please don't watch the 2018 Katowice ro4 where Maru went up 2-0 then died to what were confirmed as meme builds to entertain the fans


I like how a failure to build walls while Terran somehow isn't an indicator of skill.


I mean they even have doors.

Further proof that protoss having doors wouldn't change shit
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I’m unsure why one would even watch Starcraft if that series pisses then off, sure disappointment that your boy didn’t make it or your race but Jesus it was 4 real high quality games with one clown show.

I was rooting for Maru but if Reynor wins this all by beating Stats, Dark, Maru and Zest in a row, he's the best right now. Period.

Nah even as a Maru fan, you can't say he played better in the series when he fucking GIFTED Reynor Game 4.

Doing shit like that is Maru's achilles heel and has been his entire career. If he would just stop beating himself in big game tournaments like that he would have twice as many titles as he does already.

cmon hate is a bit strong, don't you think... he's just a very positive kid excited about winning against the possibly best player there is (given the right conditions), so show some empathy. he deserves to feel good, no matter how salty you might feel that your favorite player lost.

I think people confuse the casters trying to make the series interesting by saying “I hope Reynor can take a game...” for pro Reynor bias.

Caster bias may indeed be 2/10 leaning towards Reynor, but TL posters are convinced it’s 9/10.
You're getting cynical and that won't do I'd throw the rose tint back on the exploded view

We have Force Field doors, if we really want them.

I mean, his plan wasn't great and he made silly mistakes but once the games reached middle game, Maru gave the impression to be a bit better yes.
As you said, he beats himself (I wouldn't go as far but I don't think he should have lose this serie either which proves my point :p)

As someone who isn't a huge fan of Reynor or Maru that was one of the most hype series I've watched.

Same reason why people who support an athlete/team watch soccer or football or literally any other sport. They're rooting for someone. If I support Manchester United and see them lose 4-3 to Manchester City, I'm not going to be musing deeply about how exciting the game was - I would be understandably (extremely) upset. Is it irrational behaviour? Yeah, I suppose it is. But that's just the nature of watching any kind of sport for some people
