BCs in TvT have to be the least cost effective unit of all time. Cost 700 resources, take over a minute to build, and do nothing if the opponent has ravens (which everyone in TvT will)

Uh they helped Maru win the game on Ancient Cistern

They can be useful situationally, on Cistern Cure didn't have many ravens (2 with energy in the fight). But Maru still would have won if he made an extra 24 vikings instead

My feelings as well (or some lib AoE). Air wins in numbers, just go with numbers.

It took someone like TY, Rogue and herO to beat Maru in the final GSL. Two of them are still inactive while herO is inconsistent.

TY isn't inactive, he's just probably never going to be good enough to win a GSL again.

TY would have won a bunch over the last 2 years if he didn't do his service, probably at least half the events that had terran champions/finalists
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Imagine Afreeca's surprise when they find out people still care about SC2 and it's actually worth it to have studio days.

Maybe the crowdfund goes to the prizepool and the money Afreeca put in can now just go on production.

Or maybe Afreeca will actually start looking into monetizing the english broadcast/product.....

Maru's so amazing. The way he won 3 consecutive late games against cure with a vastly different style each time is just ridiculous. Game 6 was especially impressive with his terrible position and it being a complete role reversal from game 5 in terms of tech and yet he still won. He reaffirmed that in lategame TvT he is by far the best in the world. Please win a global event this year and put the goat argument to bed.

Wow, great finals! From what I can see, it seems to me that of all the mirror matchups, ZvZ is the most volatile, PvP is a little less, and TvT is most skillbased.

This series between Maru vs Cure had such technical and tense games as well. Game 4 (on Babylon) where Maru slowly contained Cure throughout the map with little pockets of outposts (sensor towers/missle turrets) and Maru's changing army composition. That was such a tense and technical game. I would love to hear a much more detailed cast of that game.

Maru's transition in Game 5 into BCs was flawless and so smooth - amazing stuff from Maru.

Game 6 - Maru's breaking out of Cure's contain in the early was super impressive as well. I thought he was dead for sure. And then Maru's changing army composition was superb!

It certainly feels like Maru has finally figured out the TvT meta after this patch. He's looking invincible in TvT.

I mean, he got Cure cornered the same way in game 1, but he didnt want to transition into higher tech, instead trying to brute force it into Cure defense and eventually lost. He learned his lesson from that and win game 4 from the same position. His other loss was due to a greedy build vs a 2-base push from Cure, but for most of the match we saw how Maru is still the best TvT in the world if he can get his head straight.

And thanks for Crank checking on Maru all the time, talking to him after each map and cheering him up. It was the right move for Onsyde to get Maru some motivational support like that.

For me G5L is the biggy, along with the four-peat for Maru’s overall legacy. Adding a few more is always nice, but the field is getting a little thin these days.

Sick finals anyway, only missing a game 7 and maybe a little variety to be up there with the greats.

I guess that lack of variety is at least in part to a lack of prep time for the final though, felt a lot like a weekender final with players going toe to with their most comfortable builds and we got some good slug fests, but nothing too gambly or novelly fiendish

This is FlaSh level domination, so you all fanboys can leave GOAT for Serral because Maru is now GOD!
