How much latency does Maru have to lose those Medivacs? Five seconds?

Well it's not as bad as the first WoL TSL (the one Thorzain won) in which mvp was playing absolutely horrendous (was it even NA server?) because of ping + not being used to it, losing vs Adelscott of all players.
But indeed, looking at this series I would say it was ShoWTimE's server in g1 and g3 and Maru on g2, but either way it's laggy even when it's "your" server since it's probably NA central or NA west


Come on, adelscott was playing out of this mind with his mass gateway style, I screamed so much my dog got afraid lol

Yeah, he seems kinda lost in TvP at the moment sadly

It's the hallmark of Dark and Maru though. Get yourself behind with garbage openers then claw your way back into the game.

Which ones, do you really want to go back and cherry pick every moment from the game about where lag was maybe a factor and where it wasn't? Because it was all over the place in every fight. The fact the micro was so outrageously sloppy from both of them makes it incredibly obvious there was a lot of lag.

The difference though is that in PvT, it's on the Terran to execute the high APM micro in order to have a chance vs Protoss ground armies. And Maru was taking tons of incremental damage in every engagement that offline he probably wouldn't have.

Just one more reason Maru shouldn't have been dragging those games out to late game in the first place though. I don't know why he's being so stubborn in thinking that this is the best way to be playing PvT in this meta. I don't know how much evidence he needs to have to see that it isn't.

i'm just disappointed that maru picked such a high variance opener against showtime in game 3.

What’s a better opener? Marine Tank is all I can think of. 3 Rax is easily defendable in these important games.

Rough bracket for Maru, Ragnarok then probably Solar then Reynor/herO. Wonder if this will be the start of a magical lower bracket run.

I don't remember the mid game at all, just mvp losing his reaper to like zealot by not kiting successfully and stuff :o
Pretty sure some KR players adapted better to the latency back then though, MC didn't seem to have as much issues for example. Thorzain even got Thors nerf with that tournament iirc?

Yea he did, because Blizzard didn't realize in their own dumb game design that spell damage pierced Hardened Shields. They had specifically designed the Immortal in WoL to hard counter everything that Terran had from the factory, so to see Thors owning them like that was unacceptable.

So it was a bandaid fix to make up for their own stupid game design. The Thor was a mess of a unit (still is) that had gone a complete overhaul from its original design and they hadn't figured out all of the details of it by the time Thorzain stumbled on that interaction.

Helion drop/runby, early Single tank push, double cloak banshee might work as well. To be clear, I dont mind the mine drop opening if its being mixed, but Maru has consistently used it forever in TvP so his opponent knew where to set up the Stalker-Oracle before it came over.

Two good things from that: he wont be playing cross-server, and he wont be playing as late. I seriously think he was falling asleep at game 3 or something.

Edit: 3rd thing is he wont be playing any Protoss soon other than herO (or Reynor offracing)

So will TIME play top 12 online or be forced to forfeit? Or does TSL cover flight costs that exceed the prize money for 2nd place?

We're working with TIME and KaiZi Gaming to go through all the proper channels so he can make it to Utrecht, with Team Liquid covering the travel expenses. If it's unfortunately not possible, we will allow TIME to play online.

Also, how does the schedule of the offline tournament work against GSL schedule? Would GSL stop the week the players traveling for TSL?
