It's kind of crazy how much Maru dominates Ragnarok - especially since Ragnarok is an extremely legitimate player who regularly makes Ro8s, can make Ro4s, and made a GSL finals. Is there any other parallel in SC2 history to one very top player being absolutely smashed by another to this extent?

Serral and Maru 
More seriously, I think Maru vs Cure lately is the more baffling match-up, cause Cure is an elite TvT player anyway you cut it, but he just seems to have the dumbest mental block vs Maru that makes him throw games.

Solar can call it a career just like Mizenhaur said before.

Rogue and Solar refusing to partake in such nonsense as even midgame ZvZ, haha.

Maru vs Cure actually makes sense to me because I feel like Cure is just a straightforward TvT player, which Maru is always going to be better at, while other players like Gumiho/Byun will do more crazy things and therefore take some series from time to time.
Like Cure doesn't have any strengths over Maru, while Gumiho/Byun honestly do have some unique edges to their play that can lead them to a victory.
To be fair, I guess this exact logic applies to Ragnarok, because Ragnarok's unique traits (can cook up some goofy/off-brand stuff) does not apply to ZvT

Who is Shadown anyway? Never seen him playing before.

Cure has the same problem against Serral: too straightforward, just not good enough to make it count.

SHIN has obviously improved from the days he was extremely mid, but he doesnt really have any elite player qualities.

He just knocked Serral off the IEM last year, also has taken series from top players like Dark, Reynor and Clem before. Its literally Maru is his bane of existence, I think he would rather play Serral than Maru.

In ZvZ he is quite wild, which makes hin dangerous on a good day.
