Maru traded 30K resources up. Even if he never got the top left base he wins
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Maru defense is on point. It is hard not to support Maru when Reynor did nothing unless wasting his resources.
Rogue & Maru fan boy. ^^

PiG is right, that strategy works WAY better on that map than it does on others. Maru knew exactly where to position everything to make every ground attack Reynor used so costly.

After such a start, what a game by Maru. Mid game and late game werent even close it was insane domination by Maru!
The map helped for sure though, no way he can defend flawlessly like that on the Zerg maps, or even Deathaura would be tough to play like that.

Im sad that nuke never went off, but nicely play by Maru. He is showing he can play any style. Why no mech now?

Note to self: build more PF

Seeing 3 PFs transforming at the same time on such a small map just feels dirty

Wish defender’s advantage werent so significant — split games are fun to watch/play if they happen every now and then but not when they occur this frequently

Hmm I think there is a lesson about insanity in that game somewhere.

Good game overall, except for that anti-climactic end where Reynor just got too impatient I guess.

Reynors whole strategy was overrunning Maru with inefficient trades, while mining more. He just ran out of steam, which was always how the game was gonna end if Maru wins.

Different? He does this for a year now? :D
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Terrans defending a split map has been a win condition for years.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

not necessarily if Zerg gets BL/Infestor
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

You need to play like Serral to break a Terran turtling this heavy.
