Do you guys prefer these games or when Maru was winning with proxies every game (and was just as dominant)?

Funny thing is people called it out for being broken both times (even though it was mostly just Maru)
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Turtling to ghost mech every game.

I don't think it's broken, I just think it's not fun to watch.

So I prefer the proxies, as they're short.

I don't think herO has the ability to play in a way that doesn't make his opponent angry.

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.

Hmm I think Reynor was maybe a little to willing to go into the BL Infestor stage.
Like if he spent his entire bank trying to kill Maru with remaxes like Rogue does maybe it would have worked.
And it would definitely be less infuriating to play for the Zerg

He was trying that, but it didn't work since he had a lot of supply tied up in swarm hosts

Also, hellbats are just so efficient against locusts and lings

Yeah maybe Swarmhost aren't the right choice against Maru mech.
Reynor's response to his mech also didn't seem that refined, I guess he doesn't have much practice against mech.

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.

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 my 2 cents.


I never said Maru was the Flash of SC2, just tried to convey that when he brings his A-game it somewhat reminds me of Flash's meticulously-planned style of play.
But on the other hand you're doing Maru a little unfair here by limiting him to his lategame prowess when he's (historically speaking) probably the most versatile Terran in SC2 overall, maybe aside from Mvp.

I'm not trying to say that Maru's early- and midgame isn't amazing - because it certainly is.
I did think you were comparing them in some way though so I might've misunderstood what you were trying to say.
IF we were comparing them though, being incredible at the game is just not enough to for me to get those vibes - it would have to be uniquely astounding for me to get Flash-esque vibes.

Edit: And I do think Maru's lategame is astounding, which is why I think it's a comparison that could be made if you looked at Maru's lategame in a vacuum.


Thing is if you know both BW and SC2 a bit you quickly figure out that SC2 is the far more volatile game, so it's naturally harder to be as consistent as players could be in BW, which you then in turn can take into account when comparing (although I agree it just never really ends well).

I certainly see where you're coming from, I'm not nearly as experienced in BW and thus probably cannot even truly appreciate Flash's greatness, but just seeing him beat players as random gives me kinda the right idea, I think.

The harsh truth for SC2 still is that we are unlikely to ever see someone standing so far above other progamers, but from time to time in a series Maru can give me this vibe of domination and that's just what I meant by saying that

Subjectively speaking, Maru's turtle-style is one of the worst things to watch. But like other ppl have said, I still enjoy watching it because I know he's the only one who can pull it off at this level of play.

Since this came up earlier, herO's PvZ actually reminds me of Flash's playstyle in BW in some ways.
