I feel like the way TY prepped for Parting in their Ro.4 match in the 2020 GSL would have been a good way for Mary to approach the series. Parting was wrecking terrans when allowed to play his game, but TY used lots of early aggression to not let that happen. I can see why Maru thought he could just survive through Hero, but damn he's so good right now.

herO on fire and maru lookin somewhat shaky recently. I'd say herO 4-2 or 4-3.


Maru looked pretty damn strong last round vs Dark and just got 2nd at Valencia... herO is a tough matchup for sure, but Maru tends to stomp toss players in BO5s/7s.

Edit: Head-to-head score vs herO is even more one-sided than I thought... In 2022, Maru is 4-0 in series and 9-4 in games. If you include 2021 and 2019, he is 7-0 in series and 16-5 in games.

Starting to regret Liquibettiny herO now… Still, I tend to do better when I’m going with my gut


your gut was right lol, holy cow that was a stomp

Wow it makes me so happy to see Protoss winning after 5 years...and seeing herO, a super likeable and fun and creative player who has really innovated strategically for Protoss and made it much more fun to watch win...and seeing him do it in such a convincing fashion...in a series that was actually fun to watch, with lots of community hype...and against an in-form MARU, of all people.

I really don't think Maru played badly, btw, he looked very fierce with his micro and macro and even decision-making. Clearly, though, from his gameplans he very much underestimated herO.

He played basically the way you play against a player you see as clearly worse than you in terms of execution and mindset and endurance. He seems to have expected herO to be more of a standard 1-dimensional cheesy/aggressive player, probably with some nerves and mindset issues from being close to his first GSL win, who would attack into him and then crumble if he was able to successfully defend and counterattack. Then when herO actually showed the ability to do clutch holds and keep up a high degree of execution and not choke and do macro, he tried to adjust his approach in real time and go for more of the endurance play. HerO just looked very good all-around, though, so lots of credit to him. I'm sure if Maru did a finals against him again he would have a very different approach.

Again, though, above all else: woooooooooooooo!

Hero's play makes you want to go out and try to copy it and fail miserably because it's way too hard to execute like he does. The perfect standard bearer for the race.

feels like for the first time in a while, the top protoss, terran, and zerg in the world would all be competitive with each other. I think Hero has a shot against serral.

The drought is over!

Man congratulations to herO for ending it AFTER military at his age while reinventing, and reinvigorating the meta in all matchups. Amazing achievement. What a breath of fresh air.

I really enjoyed his storm drops this series and the make or break aspect of his disruptor usage. Congratulations herO and congratulations protoss!

I was just about to make a post about how storm is never used anymore! Useless Pvp, and just subsumed by disruptors in the other matchups other.

Hero and Maru FROM DAY 1 of this tournament were the best players BY FAR

So happy herO got a title, he was so incredibly innovative all season
