To be fair, if that was Rogue with the lead, Maru would be way dead. Serral was trying to be too pefect and getting tech up, Rogue would just roll in bane after bane with +2 base advantage and dry Maru out eventually.

I don't think it's fair to call that a throw as a lot of it was just on Maru being a god


Yeah but if Serral didnt throw away 40 banes to kill a turret and a planetary when he was light years ahead, he would probably have easily won. And he also had a horrible engage right before that.

From then on though, it was all Maru playing like an absolute monster.

I'll rewatch the game after the series but that seems rather accurate

every other Terran would have died to the attacks and when attacking there's always a bit of a risk as you don't know exactly what's waiting for you. Mistakes were definitely made but not enough to call it throw

Maru just used so many different tools throughout the game, that was insane. Great series btw !


Besides BCs Maru used every terran unit and got most of their upgrades.

Yeah the brute force method of Rogue seems better since Maru is so good at coming back

Surprised Serral hasn't gone back to the early roach aggression or fast roach max timing. Those roach builds have had the best success against Maru this series so far.

I agree, pretty sure I've seen games where exactly that happened

same, I think they played a game on that very map not too long ago where Rogue did exactly what tigera6 described. People with a better memory than mine will dig that up

Maru is exploiting the weakness of broods so well. Always running around denying bases. Terran outmining the Zerg is actually quite a big issue. Also has a lot of time to get the right army.

Serral would have to take super engages at this point to be able to win here

Serral is playing superbly this time. Not enough hellbats for Maru and I dont really see a point in fighting into that choke. Half the Thors do nothing there
