About to head to bed so I thought I’d chance putting Sertal
v Maru on while I slept and boy am I not disappointed.

Serral AND Reynor winning alongside Dark losing? This almost kind of sort of makes up for a fraction of the misery of the Protoss failure.

It's fine imo. Had to be some faster series, the Bunny series will be late anyway. Had tons of nailbiters today. Go 3-0 Serral!

It's funny how some of the online series between Maru and Serral were actually pretty good but this one is a shitshow.

That was probably the build Ryung begged him to do.

Nah who am I kidding Maru has a brain dead build like this once per tournament. When it was vs Reynor it was the rush up to double Battlecruiser at last IEM.

That wasn't preparation by Serral at all, that was just him reacting to a horrible build for Maru especially on that map. You have a good map for you and you choose to do that?!

Maru did the same thing last year vs Reynor. On the best map he has he goes for a fast double Starport Battlecruiser and dies to a predictable Roach bust.

Maru abroad is simply bad. Especially if he changes continents. There was a reason why he didn't travel abroad that much when he could.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

One mistake and the game snowball so fast that it make it uninteresting maru was dead since the banneling drop. I don't think this is question of skill like widowmine statiscally you will have % that you see or not you can play for 10 years youre not going to get better at it its just random

Cant wait for all the Maru fans who already call it 3-0 to come out again and call him god if he wins the next two or three games...

Hey it's the designated turtle-like-hell map

It would be nice if both players did this one as a straight-up late-game bout so we get to see what changed from KoB2

I mean he’s not bad, he’s just not GSL Maru

And it's also probably the easier region for him.

I feel like he normally does well in Katowice, 2019 was a disaster but there was no shame in narrowly losing to an on fire Rogue twice in the semis. Maybe Katowice being the official world championship has newly cursed it for Maru.
