But you seem to think that I am saying herO should play more like Stats, or that you should stop cheering for herO. I am not saying either of those things. I'm just saying it'll be great if he goes full villain and crushes fan favourites to win the tournament. No, I'm saying that I'm imagining you watching Star Wars and thinking Luke Skywalker is the villain. "Ugh, abusing the Death Star's lack of close-ranged defenses with a bunch of tiny starfighters? Bypassing all its armour by exploiting the fact that a moon-sized battlestation needs thermal exhausts? And he had to reorient the torpedoes with ACTUAL MAGIC? I can't believe the heroic Galactic Empire got so tragically done in like that." | ||

But this has shades of Special getting to the grand finals, where he was dumpstered by Serral and we were left with the shreds of what could have been tremendous fun | ||

Maybe one macro game in the 7 games. TvT has been pretty exciting this tournament. | ||

Maru's TvT is the most invincible matchup in the world rn, maybe in the history of SC2. Dropping a bo3 to HM doesn't change that. TIME is having the run of his life so I wouldn't count him out entirely, but most likely outcome of a Maru vs TIME finals is Maru 4-1. I'll still cheer for TIME though, just being realistic. | ||

He has the kind of carefree pressure free energy that only someone riding in an absolute zone can possibly be feeling. | ||
