Other than Maru, and maybe Clem, who else is a more matched opponent for Serral in TvZ? Cure will get 4-0 or 4-1 probably considering his recent record. Byun can at least make it interesting.

I think they want to invite a KR player against Serral, and Maru normally doesnt play showmatch.

Take seriously said that?
I'd guess his reason for skipping events with low prize money is the same for using trashy builds in the early stages of tournaments. If you're optimizing for prize money, it would be bad business to give away tournament practice and builds for $500.
Byun did not prepare one or two tanks before the roach/ravagers attack. At least Maru prepare some after 2-1-1 timing. How can you defend the base with just rines, mines and lib?

Maru unwillingness to ever goes to a HSC (even the online one!) Is honestly kind of weird. I had the feelling that Take and HSC had a fairly good reputation among the Korean and it's not like Maru skipped one or two, he skipped like 15 of them, while pretty much the entire Korean proscene came at least once.
Must be strange being the only one to never go to the SC2 party in Kreffeld. My head canon is that he hate Take and is affraid of white people, because if Maru can't give me any drama I'll damn sure create it for him! (Tbh, it's probably cause he's to lazy to take a plane and bit shy + the Kespa stuff)

TakeTV account in here wrote that you need at least 10k USD to make Maru interested. Not sure if it was directly Take or it was Naruto(or anyone else from the company).
Edit> they said this during one of the previous HSC announcements, that they stopped trying to invite Maru for this reason.
Some really depressing comments here. I manage the invites since forever and I am kind of both personally offended and sad that some people feel that HSC has seemingly bad competition and would be fun only.
I dare say SOME HSC lineups over the last years were close to as good as possible in Starcraft without going 80% Korean and 20% foreigner.
Also it really makes me mad that people still think the players wouldn't compete full force. Anyone that thinks anyone there holds back or plays semi drunk especially in the playoffs must be crazy and has probably not visited a HSC.
We had so many GSL, IEM, Blizzcon & more champion - how can people still argue the level of HSC. HSC is easily a lot harder compared to WCS stops and has players present that can win everything each time. That includes GSL, GSL vs the World and more.
As far as US players go. They simply do not want to attend or their teams don't send them. Neeb prefers to not travel to Europe. Special won't be send by his team. Scarlett as sorry as I am to say that is kind of really hard to talk to in terms of responsiveness and all the other NA players are really overshadowed by talent in Europe.
For this HSC to give some insight I have already 4 absolute class S Koreans and conversation with more and that's only Koreans people here consider class a and with all due respect I disagree that some named here are B tier.
Anyways. As always I want to mention that while the tournament and its surroundings are fun and should be fun please never ever make the mistake to think players don't take it seriously.
Edit. Also people gotta understand that if the prize pool isn't 100000+ Maru isn't leaving Korea. Not because he is greedy but because he doesn't enjoy traveling.
