Just seeing the raw, genuine, authentic emotion of tears and happiness from Oliveira. And Smix tearing up, too. We're all crying. I got my wish for either herO or Oliveira to win IEM, and the latter did it in such a convincing fashion. This is one of the best championship runs in recent history.

"The [IEM] card rated him 80 overall, but on this stage, he is a 100." - Kalaris

Absolute chills.

It did not disappoint.

That has got to be the most amazing tournament run of all time in Starcraft. I've been a part of this community since 2000 and I haven't seen anything as impressive as this.

Maru just lost the mental game. It's as simple as that. The series was very reminiscent of the beatdown he took vs Rogue. He got tilted early and never recovered. Gotta give massive props to Oliveira though. Don't want to take anything away from him

That was the worst TvT games I have seen from Maru. Obviously he did not practice much in TvT.

Btw Oliveira delivered good game overall. GG.

Its actually could be the map pool, like how Terran is mainly about positioning, so you need to understand the map to know where to put the seige, close the path, ect...It seems to me that Maru just didnt grab the whole thing, his army movement was just not accurate enough in that last game.


I thought he was worse than just not understanding the map pool. He just played sloppy and missed many of the free moves we typically see him do. Like missing the base in the last game or not diving on sieged tanks with medivacs.

That last game he did his best, I believe, you play enough TvT you will get out-positioned. But yeah, the other 3 game losses were just bad.

But he used to be the absolute master of the positioning game

I know, but even a master has down game as well, thats why I am okay with him dropping that last game like that. But the first 3 game he lost was pure shit. Now hes having more 2nd place even than Soo in his career. 4 of them coming just from this season.

I'm trying to remember if there was ever a bigger upset and I'm coming up blank.

Chinese translation (ish)
"Nothing is impossible, If I can win the world champion, you can do anything.
I waited for this world championship for way too long. Last year was really hard. I thought that my career was over after ___ tourney (didnt get it), that SC was over for me. But I told myself that if i practiced hard enough, that I could maybe win the world championship, that I can prove to every1"
How do u doto?
