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.

Yeah that's why I'm okay with him losing. To win the world championship you need to be clutch, TIME was, Maru wasn't.
If Maru was playing at his best I think he would've won but that doesn't matter, with this performance he didn't deserve to win
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

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

in Premier tournaments where the best of the worlds were competing, nothing comes close.


The only thing I can remotely think of was qXc all killing IM in GSTL. Obviously way less impactful though.

I'm positive now that Maru keeps his youthful appearance by siphoning off the hopes of his fans.


He's a five time GSL champion. Maybe his fans expect too much of him?

Speaking as a Protoss fan, I mean.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

I'm so happy for Oliveira. I knew he was good and that his TvZ was top notch, but I didn't expect him to win it. He went through a hell of a gauntlet too. What a story

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"

Thank you for translation xoxo

What a great person. You can't help but like the guy!

Oh we both agree on that, I dont want to hear about how many more GSL Maru win after this terrible performance.

Has and Mana in 2018 were the second closest I could think of but those pale in comparison to Oliveira

I'm pretty confident EPT is continuing in some form because all the insiders are acting as if it's continuing, but confirmation sure would be nice...

It's crazy how much this mirrors soo's run, 2-3 in the group stage, beating the favourite (serral/reynor) in the ro8, beating hero (even 3-1) in the ro4. wow

I don't think Oliveira will consider retiring after winning this championship. He may study abroad but keep playing like Polt and the rest.
Rogue & Maru fan boy. ^^

was thinking of duckdeok / Pigbaby / Stardust too, but that's miles away from the impact of that one

"Maybe the most memorable Katowice ever?" As someone who's only seen 2020-2023, I agree.
