Maru is just obsessed by proxy rax, he just can't resist it.

There is simply no chance Inno could see this coming

Assuming Inno doesn't surprise us with sparks of his past glory, Maru is playing the finals anyway; the perspective of him rushing to save maybe an hour by playing risky is mildly amusing, he has to play in Code S the following evening. Its just stupid to say recent result has NOTHING to do with the GOAT discussion, so the current result does not affect career achievement? And while Serral is falling off and his competitor are racking more titles, it has absolutely no effect on the debate? Where did you learn to do critical thinking? And its around 12 hours apart between the GSL and the DH Global Final end, doing shitty quick build not only saving the time but also mental stress to do a full 7-game which might go ultra late. I dont relaly give a crap if you are amused or not, but you cant deny its a screw up on the schedule between ESL and GSL.
Do I even have to explain what this means? Recent results obviously add up to career achievements; however, considered in a vacuum, they give you a clear indication of form or could even suggest someone becoming Bonjwa-like and shouldn't be looked at if you are speaking of GOATs.
In case of evenly matched players that have already amassed a certain amount of titles making them eligible for being called GOATS, recent results would make a difference but it could as well be very futile since the next three months of competitions could give you a different indication.
The idea of rushing a final in order of supposedly favoring a ro16(yes, DH Masters vs Code S but still...)doesn't seem very smart when said final is still worth thousand of dollars and that you have half a day(including a full night/morning of sleep ahead of you) to recover.
The schedule is not a comfortable one but we have seen much worse(Byun vs Clem in WTL for example, that was indeed a forcibly rushed game)

this, this bothers me so much that Maru is so good in a straight-up macro game and he still more than often risk himself by going proxy. It's just nonsense.

A bit of a bad proxy 2 rax reaper into a raven harras into a defense against INno push he had no right pulling of, worth re-watching it later later IMO.

Ok thanks! Hoping for a Maru victory right before his GSL group

I feel the same. Really would like for the finals not to be cross-server. But I don't really fancy either of the Terrans' chances against Reyner regardless whether it is cross-server or not.

holy fuck Maru is playing like a god!
i thought semis was bo7

ESL still using a JAGW photo of Maru, come on guys

Why are we still talking about Serral being a GOAT?
He is not a GOAT, he can never be the GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
Serral was only relevant for half of LOTV, maybe he can be the greatest of LOTV but that's it

Innovation's alleged lack of practice seems quite evident in this series so far.

He can't be LotV Goat if Rogue is tho 
EDIT: Agree in general though.
I'd say the Goat discussion in general is a bit silly in SC2 as there are many contenders and time periods to consider.

I'm addressing this whole argument, stop talking about Serral in a tournament where he didn't even qualify to play in, this obsession is kinda annoying
