What a terrible series of games..... whaat? they were tons of fun, the utterly domination of Trap in the first 3 games. Game 3 best PvT vs Maru I can recall. Game 4 was so close to be a a Trap victory too, then even the 2 last DT games were a bit crazy because it meant Maru getting closer to the reverse sweep. and game 7; the missing scout and trap face when he saw the bunker were golden. Super fun series.; | ||

Super fun series.; in terms of game quality it wasnt a Clem vs Serral kind of series but that doesnt mean its not fun to watch - I agree | ||

If you hide the name of the player, I would have thought that SoS was playing the Toss in the last 4 games of that series. | ||

He's only looked lately like he's finally overcome it but when you're against one of the most clutch players in the world I guess it creeps back. He looked not confident at all anymore after losing the 2nd one. | ||

After being down 0-3, Maru realized that and was doing everything he could to survive the early Toss cheese and make the push to win the games. Nah, Maru was down 0-3 and still going for proxy raxes. He wasn't playing safe and defensive even though it would have probably been the right thing to do. Remember when Maru went down 0-2 to sOs doing proxies? And everyone called him an idiot for doing it in game 3? Well sometimes it works (see: Maru TY first GSL finals, this series). | ||

Today proxies were far less committed than the ones vs sOs (except the bunker rush) though. Like proxying a single barracks with reaper compared to proxying cyclones and marauders... | ||

I think Maru wasnt really all-in in his Proxy other than that last game. It was a single rack trying to mess Trap build timing up while he still building up at home. He was able to get energy build-up for the scan, also making decently early Raven was indicating how careful he was going to be. | ||

Don't play the proxy game with sOs, he's the MASTER of proxy warfare. I call Maru an idiot to this day for that because at the time he was CLEARLY the superior player in macro games and he's going against the cheese master, so he fights cheese master with cheese. That's not smart. That's playing HIS game, not yours. Make him play YOUR game. | ||

Also Maru won the series. Guaranteed if Trap had won Game 4 this thread would be doing nothing except talking about that disgusting proxy Void Ray/Tempest/Shield Battery build. | ||

Games like those are especially satisfying to see the person defending the cheese to stop. Maru's move with the Vikings turned out to be genius, but obviously you can't do that on every map. | ||
