Honestly, I think pressuring the 3rd with reapers is very underrated. Even if you don't kill the hatch, you can get it to below half pretty consistently to be killed later. Certainly beats idling your reapers and failing to kill a creep tumour.

Stylistically Reynor is about the worst opponent that Byun could get. Byun plays a hyper aggressive early game style that is all based around bio control. Reynor plays a hyper aggressive Zergling style that capitalizes on catching units out of position.

It's a battle of APM and multitasking and Reynor is the faster player. Maybe Byun from 2016 could beat him but Byun from 2023 is going to have a very hard time of it.

It doesn't help that Reynor practices with Clem who plays the same way Byun does so it's the style he's most familiar at playing against.

Well why doesn't Byun just change it up against Reynor then? Because Byun doesn't change up his style. He never has. He only plays one way. This is always been his biggest weakness as a player and why I consider him the weakest of the top Korean Terrans.

Whilst I'm a terran fanboy and think that Maru is the best chance of a Terran win, I'll find it hilarious of this tournament shows that foreigner > korean

well I mean I do think the underlying reality that both Korean participation in overseas weekenders and foreigner participation in GSL has shown is that right now, due to the differing structures of the two scenes, foreigners are by and large just worse at preparation tournaments and Koreans are by and large just worse at weekenders. obviously Koreans still do very well at big tournaments, but it's definitely a handicap I think.

this is one of the things that makes it hard to make a direct comparison between the two groups of top players. online cups are probably the clearest level ground by which to compare objective skill, and that's limited due to the lower stakes.

I really dont buy that excuse. While there are certain preparation build here and there, but there are steps to get into a conservative and safe game, Cure is the perfect example as this. But players like Byun, Maru and herO, Dark just dont rely on safe approach, they always trying to be aggressive and reckless without any scouting information.

Why doesn't Byun put depots blocking his main ramp? Looking pretty bad here

He did, it was busted down

I only saw the wall at the natural not to the main, in game 1 he definitely didn't have one

You are right. I was thinking the natural wall

It's quite common to not wall the main while opening 2 barracks at natural though

very good analysis. I do think Byun would have a chance if he was able to slow down and tighten up his defense even a little. After all, Clem beats Reynor with this style. but yeah, in general he just doesn't have Clem's speed any more.

Byun and Maru need to have a real talk about how they play these games, ask themselves do they want to win or do they just want to play for fun with their style. What they are doing in this round is not winning, its just to make themselves feel good before getting smashed.

It is so baffingly predictable at this point. Just fucking play the game straight up Maru. Stop donating series because you are so fucking desperate for some reason to get them over with early.

I have lost count of how many tournaments he's done this in.


I really start to wonder if he does this out of disrespect for his opponents or because for some unwarranted reason he's not confident in his lategame.

I don't think he has any real openings outside of when he preps for GSL. This is just how he plays.


That's why I think he just disrespects his opponents, because he would fix his builds for the weekenders. Especially for that amount of money.

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.



Its almost as if Clem took the time to prepare for Maru and Maru disrespected him

i would define my style between a mix of ByuN, Maru and MKP

Yeah, you really need tanks in late game against Zerg or you're run over again and again. WM alone don't cut it.

Tanks is better defensively, Mines is better offensively, but ideally you need BOTH. Thats why you need double factory producing non-stop, Byun cut his Factory production for more Bio.

Mines are better until Lurkers are out. Then mines are almost useless
