Jokes aside, this really looks like Maru-Rogue GSL final, albeit with Maru playing much better after dying to roaches.

Because burrowed infestors fungals = bullshit

So much easier to get them than to catch them and defend against them, the fact that Maru was able to make the game close while playing on this difficult map and against this stupid unit clearly shows he is better, like every single engagement that serral won was because of that, without that it would not even be close

Build a raven?

Ravens are way to slow to play on a map that big. The only option is mass orbitals and constant scans, but even then they stayed hidden

A decent player like Serral would just fly in with a few corrupters and snipe it. Easy.

Almost like burrowed infestors are Zergs only real option to catch Ghosts who otherwise completly outrun their army and kill it in the process?


No, other option = just fungal them normally and be the quicker player, normal interactions between spellcasters, thats how it should be


Yes, please work your slow-ass, short-ranged spellcasters into a ball of "spellcasters" with stupid amount of DPS that can cloak...

Not just that, but Maru's army is never moving in one large group, it's always moving in pieces. Ravens cost 150gas a piece, they build slowly, they move slowly, and they require a dedicated Starport to build.

It simply doesn't make sense to use them for detection when you are playing a mobile Bio style. A slower Mech style sure, but they just don't work with a Bio.

It’s unreal. You’d think there were zero Terran players in the top 8 or something at this point.

Agreed. This and Maru not ready for early game aggression g3 when he's clearly made Serral sweat lategame prev game shows more of the same stubbornness that usually gets him.

it will just get killed/sniped, and it would be way too expensive to continuously produce them, you think maru and the other top terrans never thought of that LOL ?

Serral is too smart, going for allins on the maps that aren't guaranteed wins for Zerg lategame. Few have as deep a bag as Serral or Rogue to play like that, those guys are untouchable in this series.

One of the reasons he lost to Serral. Cockiness. In terms of actual raw skill, I think even the biggest blindest Serral fanboys can admit that Maru is lightyears ahead in skill.

1)Rathuset has a 50/50 split between Terran and Zerg (according to Liquipedia)
2)I wouldn't exactly call a 45min game down to the last mineral patch "easy"...

No Maru should have built as many ravens as infestors and have them everywhere clearly
