I imagine it's because he feels less comfortable in general in offline overseas tournaments and esp playing versus opponents he doesn't know as well (all the Koreans at this point he knows very well and has beaten), so he goes back and forth between feeling underconfident and feeling *too* confident | ||

Maru really gave it his all, but it is just not enough, same as in most of his series against Serral/Reynor | ||

If he's this good at the game how does he not see the pattern in how he loses to shit like this. If a scrub like me can notice the pattern how could he not? I don't know what is going on behind the scenes that keeps motivating him to try and rush through series like this. Is it nerves? Can he not sleep in foreign hotels very well so on weekend tournaments he's always exhausted on day 3? Does he spend his Saturdays getting hammered at bars so he always plays Sundays hungover? What the fuck is going on that he so consistently does this in every foreign tournament then goes home and beats superior players in GSL in dominating fashion? I don't get it. Exactly my thoughts, especially after the WCS loss he should have really bounced back by analyzing if his style is too risky and figured out, combined with the obvious improved levels of skill from his opponents. Maybe he just doesn't really care anymore? | ||

He looked shaky in the GSL as well, barely beating Cure etc, dropping series versus HeroMarine, Oliveira, GuMiho… the raven patch destroyed his TvT! Unfortunate to qualify with 6-0 and lose to Clem who barely managed to qualify At least Clem has a decent TvZ and has a shot to take down Reynor, if ByuN doesn’t do it Classic can beat Serral but Cure has a monstrous TvP and got obliterated by Serral, so Classic better plays well | ||

No he also does stupid builds there, he's just good enough to make it work enough of the time. His TvT style this year has just been get behind and then win anyway | ||

If they met with one week to prepare for that match only, Maru would probably have outsmarted Clem more. Maru does not seem that confident nor comfortable in foreign weekenders either, they are different beasts! | ||

To be fair, Clem read Maru like a book in that last game. NOBODY else in the world would put 3 Viking and 2 Raven into each corner of the map to intercept a potential Viking/Raven/Medivac flying by. But Maru need to play much more carefully, just send unit out around and scout, dont rush out if you dont know where Clem army is, or his 3rd CC timing. His opening has been like against CPU most of the time. | ||

Indeed, nobody would, and I would wager Clem was trying to do the exact same thing Maru was except with vikings. Perhaps he would have thrown his air units for a combat shields again had Maru not sent his ravens there  | ||
