It’s bo3 though, it’s known to be super volatile in sc2, no reason to freak out that Maru lost a TvT.
It’s less of an upset than Cure getting destroyed by Spirit

Trap dropping some big bombs.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

But if he's not going to IEM Protoss is screwed. Although Zest is still going? The last time he got there 2nd place

Zest is a mystery, he's supposed to go to the military very soon, but it seems to be a soon trademarked by Blizzard

Maybe he's using the Valve time xD (bigger soons)

That being said, Trap said the chance of him going is higher.

Trap studied for a week and came back with the answer "just 3 gate better"

I dont think Zest will be able to leave the country if his military status is still unknown at that time. If IEM is online, then there is a large chance Zest can play in it.

Maru played like a buffoon against Bunny, almost Clem-like with the quick-triggered Medivac drop. Seems like he got burned out and doesnt give a F about his gameplay today.


I also think that he's playing against his team mate. If anyone would know his playstyle, it would be Bunny. I suspected if anyone were to beat Maru in TvT, it would have been Bunny because they are team mates, and Bunny's TvT is amazing.

Thats more of the reason Maru shouldnt do anything risky. Maru strength lies in his lategame army control and positioning. If you play your best game and lose because the other guy does better, so be it. Its just bad to give up on your own strength and play some way over-agressive style that clearly not suitable for the matchup.
Bunny TvT is quite great, probably as a result of practicing with Maru. But even Bunny would not want to play Maru in lategame, like in that KoB2 match. Oh well, there is a high chance Maru would be playing lots of TvT in the Lower Bracket as well, so lets see how hes gonna do on it.

I don't know why every person pretends maru is a turtle Terran. Maru is overaggressive Terran who does stupid overaggressive moves here and there. But since he's good in the lategame everybody forgets this part of Maru and pretends he has to turtle it out.


Also, if he turtles automatically every game, everybody would try to blindcounter his playstyle.. It is not that easy, to always make a good decision and play your best. Even Maru fans should admit, he can have an off day, just like Serral looses here and there..

Its not turtling, its solid opening, aka dont dive a Medivac drop into Viking and Marine/Tank/Cyclone on defensive position. Just poor decision making overall when its completely unnecessary.

But that's like asking water to don't wet things xD Maru is Maru.

Not so much for me, but thats probably that i hate generally air turtling styles in general.

Trap said that he doesn't know if he will be allowed to go but he thinks it's more likely that he will end up going.
Rogue is two months older than Trap tho, if we go by age he could be in danger as well.

Considering the bias from Rotti during the casting and cheering for Maxpax it's probably more fanboyism than prediction.
