They've met just about everywhere else including the semifinals of GSL and a GSL Super Tournament final.

That Super Tournament final was one of the best final series I can remember seeing in a good while. Maybe we'll get a series here that is just as good.

You mean he's Kareem?


If he loses this one he will be Kareem. Kareem was 6-4 in finals appearances for his career.

It actually makes for a much better comparison than Lebron, since Maru won his first title way back when before joining Jin Air (the Lakers of SC2) and winning 4 straight.


You do know that Kareem won a title with the bucks before going to the lakers, right?


Yea that was what I was alluding to with Maru's OSL title.

As much as I love Maru, it was more Cure losing than Maru winning the last 3 matches...
I hope his TvZ looks better.

Yeah, usually Dark is too busy choking in the Round of 16 to get to a final.

You should update your memes old man, this isn't 2018 anymore

To be honest, Maru dug the hole himself first, and he could have lost game 5 after that horrendous Medivac-Tank drop again.

It's hard to make the finals when you've been knocked out in the Round of 16 in 9 of the 20ish seasons on Code S in Lotv.

Was he though? I think the CC died because he took too much time microing his two reapers vs the SCVs: if he did not micro as much and did not lose the CC in the process, he would have killed less SCVs so he wouldn't have been that far ahead either (in a better spot for sure though!)

I think a win here put him within 1 of Flash as far as Starleague goes? (Depending how you count what is and is not a Starleague)

So he's kind of the Flash of Starcraft.

Not bad for a perenial disapointment.

Code S isn't a starleague (the name of the tournament series is the Global StarCraft II League). Maru has only won 2 Starleagues, but that does give him the all-time lead in sc2 (dark has 2 starleague finals from 2017, but he only won once) as inno/rain/solar/classic/herO never got a second championship in SSL or OSL.

It's been a while since I saw the finals, and now I can see why.

The games follow right after the semis, no build up of any of the hype.
Not so very disappointed still enough to say so.
cmon gimme a break im to old for this shit

The right click on the hatch was legit game losing man, pretty sure Maru would have killed Dark right there otherwise lmao
And now the general is out for Dark

Dark is not looking great, two games in a row he's defended poorly against widow mines. Maru doesn't look 100% either but it may not matter.

Maru just loved those 2 base all-in in non-TvT match up but it rarely works for him lately.

I went into a meeting with my boss when Cure and Maru were 2-2

now Maru and Dark are 2-1

were the games so fast or did my meeting take longer than it felt?

That was about an hour and a half ago, so I'll let you decide the answer
