That put him behind but wasn't relevant to these last few fights. Maru was still maxed before Serral started trading.

It still lead to Serral having more money and Maru having less money than if Maru had traded those units somewhat efficiently

You're not understanding that Maru was keeping them there, to keep Serral's units on his side of the map.

As Terran you cover your expanding by keeping your opponent defending, and Serral had all of his units at home, allowing Maru to take his fourth.

Serral had to KEEP his units at home, as long as Maru's medivacs were there.

You might not understand this, but Maru gave up on those units on purpose. They accomplished what they were supposed to, even if they didn't kill anything. Ideally you'd want to cause damage with those drops too, but their primary purpose was to cover for taking your fourth.

definitely was relevant - serral so safe on the map with all that supply just there which just spiraled into him having infinite money and having taken no damage

that seems like a decent point yeah but that much money + supply with 0 damage even if it was on purpose is just game losing

Nah that was the best he could do out of that situation but in no world is throwing 3 medivacs full of units away worth it just for keeping your opponent on his side for a short while

Data-C is Terran favored: (Wiki)Data-C LE

Waterfall is the most imbalanced map in the pool at 39.5% TvZ as of this writing.

No it isn't.

Maru would've lost those units anyway, even if he had dropped with them and then that would have given Serral back total map control because there was nothing keeping him home.

Unless Maru was going all in at that point, which he wasn't, the units in the dropships were there only to keep Serral at home so he could expand. The fact they didn't do damage isn't important.

yeah Maru didn't throw that game, it was a bad map for camping & late game so he tried to focus on mid-game aggression to keep Serral on his side of the map. Serral just did an exceptional job defending and by the time Maru tried to do late-game it was too late.

maybe he could have transitioned faster once he wasn't doing damage with the drops but it was a very delicate situation

He would have lost them anyway. The minute he saw the defenses at the third and main, he stopped controlling them because it wasn't worth microing them anymore.
