We'll just have to see his control and play against Ragnarok and then we can tell the difference. | ||

Maru was also playing late last night, and Reynor is much better at pulling your attention apart and forcing mistakes than Ragnarok (and pretty much anyone in the world). Even without ping considerations, I think it's likely this series would cleaner from Maru due to other factors. | ||

I think he looked kinda sloppy in his bio games (except the 2 rax one because he didn't really get to look sloppy being massively behind), especially against the harass, although it seemed less worse as the series went on. | ||

I did note that ESL and GSL was going to screw Maru up with the timing of the tournament. Having said that, Maru build wasnt totally bad, it was pretty decent. But Maru was consistently trying to move out to the map is just frustrating as hell. Both Zoun and sOs were not getting greedy with their build, it was a lot of Gateway units and later 3rd Nexus. The best thing Maru could have done is staying home to build up his tech and units. Keep forcing the army through the map was just a bad decision. Especially on that last game, knowing Zoun was making Disruptor, Maru marched the units through the choke points anyway. | ||

But you never know, mustering two motivation surges is not something Rogue is incapable of, especially with that new format in which the elimination phase happens very quickly. | ||

Dude, Maru literally scanned the base of Zoun and saw a Disruptor coming out of the Robotics with another one in the making. It was very careless of him, and there should be no excuse other than mental fatigue. And yes, what really piss me off more is Maru gonna miss the next DH Season as well. Right where we seeing Maru picking up his TvZ game, its the darn TvP that knock him out again. | ||

His last win in a tournament was King of Battles 2020-10-11 were he fought so so in the Group Stage (2nd place) and went to win beating only terrans in the playoffs. His last big tournament win was AfreecaTV GSL ST1 2020-03-28 with a good run against the usual "old" Korean players (half of them are at military service). Then you've got to go GSL S1 Spring 2019 to see another victory in a big tournament. Maru in 2021 has played 48 matches: Serral (who doesn't play so much outside big tournaments) has played 65 matches in 2021, Reynor 143 matches !!! With all the respect for Maru, he is still a great player and being able to reach a couple of big finals in the last months is very good, but he lacks a lot of practice in tournaments and at the moment his winning chances are overvalued. And here you can insert fanboys lag, poorly sleep, bad wrist and all the usual whining stuff :D | ||

But you are just plain WRONG in many of the points you made, or you just want to rub the salt to the wound of Terran "fanboy". Terran has been unable to win many international events for the last 3 years since Inno victory in WESG. Other than TY dominant run in 2020 in GSL and Clem in DH EU, everything else has been quiet. Maru was not winning as much as he was in 2018, but he was still among one of the top Terran in the world in ANY tournament. He won the ST1 in 2020, the only Terran to EVER won it, against a top form Dark who was coming from his Blizzcon victory in 2019 was not a lucky run. In 2021, Maru has been the most successful Terran in term of tournament run, and prize money earned. He was VERY CONSISTENT in TvT and TvP much more than everyone else in the pro. Despite his struggle in TvZ, Maru still made it very deep in any tournament that he played in. Lastly, the amount of the matches played is not as important as the TIMING of those matches. If you think playing at late hour for 4 days straight, and then switch to an afternoon event, especially after the gruesome 7-games Final series is NOT taxing to the body and the mind of the player, you may try to go pro and try it yourself. Maybe you havent heard it, but mental fatigue is A THING. Remember before this GSL losses, Maru was losing a SINGLE series in TvP and TvT in 2021, that includes IEM, ST2, GSL1, DH Global and NeXT which are plenty of matches to show his dominance over the matchup. I get that Maru was still going to play anway, he and his fan should make no excuse, that still doesnt mean we can deny that ESL and GSL screw him up this time with the schedule. | ||

Would make mech or hybrid builds better in TvP since Mech don't care much about storm | ||

Was a great group for entertainment. For me it was tough for Maru in that sOs and Zoun had completely different game plans against him, that said if he didn’t eat that Disruptor hit he probably still gets out. | ||

Clem gets a lot of points due to his wins on Serral&Reynor, but doesnt find as much success against KR Protoss it seems. He just had a bad performance, I think you guys throw players under the bus way too fucking fast. Maru is IMO the top Terran and a contender on any tournament. | ||

Top 4 IEM, top 2 gsl, top 3 NeXT, and top 2 dh summer finals. The only terran even close to him in results is clem, who won dh europe, but then showed how vulnerable he is in non tvz matchups (top 6 iem, top 6 tsl, top 8 NeXT, didn't make it out of groups in dh summer finals). Maru could bomb out of every tournament from here on out til the next IEM and he still would likely be the top terran performer | ||

Well he is the best Terran by far now that TY is gone, so if he loses everybody knows there is no hope of a Terran winner. Therefore, people probably prefer having « excuses » for his losses than thinking about balance and the likes. But maybe Bunny and SpeCial will prove us wrong and win the whole thing. | ||

Well he is the best Terran by far now that TY is gone, so if he loses everybody knows there is no hope of a Terran winner. Therefore, people probably prefer having « excuses » for his losses than thinking about balance and the likes. But maybe Bunny and SpeCial will prove us wrong and win the whole thing. It is a bit shame that 4 horsemen of Terran now reduced to only Maru as the beholder of the title. | ||

In dream back he had ping and terrible hours, and in gsl he was exhausted. What is that about him missing season2? I'm guessing to qualify to DH you need to get to the round of 8 gsl? I think only top 4 from GSL have a direct seed to DH:Finals, and the 4 players from 5-8 battle for 2 spots iirc? So yeah the finalist of DH:EU Finals is not qualified for the next one only a day later | ||

Bunny looks to have exited the Bunny zone, interested to see if he can keep up his recent breakthroughs. He is clearly the Terran hope now is Maru but the excuses for him any time he loses have long been a thing even back when Inno, TY and others were legitimate championship contenders | ||

Now thinking about it, Maru always hit the GSL "slump" in S2 for the last 3 years, lol. | ||
