What is wrong with Maru this last year... He literally can't win finals even in something small like this.

its deserving though, he played a poor opening over and over again and get hard countered in the end. Plus hes keep pulling SCV rather than playing from behind into lategame.

I will say this again, Maru NEED a coach to talk to him on how to approach these finals games, its very bad to not mixing up builds in the series and assume that you are good enough to win with poor strategy.

Yeah, while I'm not certain Maxpax could replicate this performance offline he's a sick player and I hope we get to see him try.

Or a Trap, they both used to pick Maru apart with these Blink Stalker build in GSL. TY was the best at defending those with amazing building placement and tank position, just never die.

I think the biggest Problem was maru setting himself behind with all These Proxy raxes.

I think he underestimated Maxpax. Was really apparent in the game where he got really far ahead by killing 7 Phoenixes for free and then threw it away with repeated overly aggressive attacks into defensive Protoss positions.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

The same thing happened in IEM, seems like he got tilted by losing, so he decide to do the same damn thing again just to prove that his build is good enough. Its just bad to watch, and its not like he is doing that all the time, just mostly in the Finals. Remember how Rogue just Roach all-in him all series long and he just not think about dealing with it.

I do think pvt is running into a problem tho where the best way to play is doing 4g blink and then its 50/50 depending hon how good the trrran handles it, as recent series/games i saw suggest that more defensive/other strats are more on the weaker side or just figured out and terrans manage to just win in these games (if they dont fuck up massively).

Btw, we need to add this into the list of rant that Poopi(?) did as well. 2 racks proxy against Protoss REPEATEDLY is bad, who would have thought, right?

The funny thing is that Maru was co-casting with Crank on one of the other days, and admitting how TvP favors Terran and Phoenix-Colossus is the only Protoss opener that lets them go 50/50

I'd really love to get the replays for this if they are made available, do we know how this is going to work? Do I need to sub to PiG or something like this?

Is there a way to rewatch the Interviews from today? Or is Pig only putting the vods of the matches onto his Youtube?

I agree with this. I think Protoss had a similar dynamic against Zerg during the glaives era where they can force a 40/60 game for the protoss (once the zergs figured the defense out). For these reasons, protoss can always compete but it's frustrating that it's so high variance.
