uninspired last game by Reynor, Maru just cruised. 1 PvZ, 1 PvT, that's actually a great final four

Is this first time Maru going to win premier tournament outside of Asian region? Xainon must be not so happy hearing that.

If herO done his job against Dark, then maybe.

At times like this it's really hard to not look at Maru and see glimpses of Flash-like brilliance/having the game figured out. Seeing him pulling off this insanely tough turtling style over and over again is really amazing.

Reynor said in the video interview before the series "Maru always tries something and it fails and then he ends up turtling" and that's been entirely true for this series.


Can’t fault the kid. He isn’t good enough to beat the top Zergs in those fast paced tvz games. He has to resort to the strategy that gives me the best chance to win (since the goal is always winning) regardless how Imba turtle terrans is


And who does?

Clem
And our boy Big Gabe timing attacks

And when's the last time a major tournament was won by those guys and not the circle of elite zergs.


And why would inferior players beat the two goats? ( Serral and rogue)

Gabe beating Serral was impressive but it was also his first time beating him in like 3 years. He has around a 10% winrate against him since 2018. Sometimes a 10% winrate will convert to a series win.

So, either Rogue or Dark managed to take a couple of series from Maru's TvZ late games. Serral also cannot (the last KOB series), Reynor too. At least Reynor's Katowice 2021 did better in late game situation against Maru even with the advantage pings.
Rogue & Maru fan boy. ^^

Now you not making any damn sense, you said your "boys" beat top Zerg in fast pace TvZ game, and then said inferior player doesnt beat two goats? But Maru beat them both within last year??? Mind breaking

How do you even go up against that. I can't imagine how bad it must feel to enter a series knowing your opponent will drag each game into a 45 minute trench war.

At least when Dark beats you it's a 20 minute bo5, you don't have to spend 2 hours losing.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Yeah, it looked like his mental was broken in game 3 and he basically just gave up in game 4.

Maru playing to win, not entertain, respect to his skill and patience in this series.

Well played by Reynor too but I think Reynor get's too used to his mechanics carrying him against inferior opponents. When he goes up against someone with the same speed and precision as him he kind of looks a bit lost against anything that isn't totally standard play.

Maru is amazing but I don't think that's a fair comparison at all unless you compare Maru's lategame in a vacuum to Flash's overall play. Either way it's hard to compare a BW player to a SC2 player but that's just my 2 cents.
