I think having Maru taking out Reynor was huge, putting Serral to play Maru first in long macro game, and he was playing the full series against Abydos, does somehow affect his performance in the match against Solar.

Nice, Onsyde won!
I am kinda disappointed Maru lost to Serral but the match-up is difficult for terran so not surprising. Solar as usual carrying hard with the victories in ZvZ!

Outside of his GSL Final against Dark, Maru hasnt played a single turtling-Terran game in recent memory. I am not sure what cause him to change his style again, but I dont think Terran getting aggressive on the big map is a very good idea. Clem is the most extreme of this, I dont think he can beat Solar/Reynor/Serral being aggressive, but we still see Cure and Maru doing the same thing, and they dont have Clem micro.

Interestingly enough Cure also did the turtling style vs Dark in GSL and won convincingly with it but didn't attempt it vs Serral/Reynor.
I have no idea why they prefer playing aggressive against them.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Probably because going defensive against Dark who is known for being hyper aggro with Roaches is a good idea.

Neither of them plays a dedicated turtle plan from the start that much these days, unless it's like NeoHumanity. If you sit back, Zerg will just get massive econ/production and overwhelm you in the mid-game.
AdministratorHey HP can you redo everything youve ever done because i have a small complaint?

Yeah, I think all the best Zergs have figured out how to play against turtling Terran these days, and that is why we hardly see them these days. There must be a reason why it's been largely unused. If it works all the time, I guarantee that all the Terrans would keep doing that.

I feel that in a couple games they can transition into late game turtle after getting to 4/5 bases before the Zerg get full map control. Like game 1 from Maru against Serral in WTL, I think he could transition into Tanks/Libs the moment he saw Hydra/Lurker is out, and start staying more on his bases more, while sending a small group of units to deny the outer base from Zerg. The weakness of turtling Terran is often that they have to spend lots of resource on buildings up-front and might not have enough to rebuild against non-stop bane crash on the 4th/5th base, but Maru was able to get map control early with Bio+Mines vs LingBane.

Apparently Abydos disbanded today, and some players already looking for new teams.

you seem to be correct
(Wiki)ABYDOS
I don't see an announcement or anything

Creator appears to be on NV now (Wiki)Creator

but Cure, DRG, and Nightmare seem to be teamless currently

edit: I made a new topic just for this https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/615258-abydos-disbanded
