Wow that's surprising then especially with a 4-1 score. If it was the new patch I would have assumed it's just the typical Zerg underperformance for the first few weeks/months of any patch/map pool change. I hope he's getting back into top shape. His losses vs hero, Dark, Maxpax, Clem and Serral were not inspiring. Plus letting Nightmare take him to game 5.

Maru issue, especially in TvP, has been his eagerness to do predictable 1-2 base all-in instead of macro game. When he wants clamp down on playing the longer game, hes still very unbeatable unless its against Serral. That last game against Dark, where he did a 3 base all-in with 2-2 Bio and Hellbat is very cool, but somehow hes not doing it often enough against Zerg, instead going for either a 5-racks or 8-racks Marines-Tanks on 3 base timing that is very predictable and get countered quite easily.

I mean vs NightMare in particular he played super lazy. You could see he respects Dark a lot more with the game on gresvan -> Dark was supposed to be dead but he didn't quit right away, given he had his ultralisks building and stuff. Instead of playing carelessly like he did against NightMare on gresvan, Maru played it both safely and adequately. He took the time to properly scout / harass etc.

Even again herO in PiGSty tournament, he did similar build as well, up 3-1 and decide to go for early all-in. And he lost to MaxPax 4 times in a row doing the same kind opening.
