Royal roader... Just because this is only the second sc2 OSL, basically maru is as far away as a royal roader as possible in sc2 having played in the first GSL..

Also wasn't polt winning just 2 years ago?

Royal road is for OSL. Even in BW, players can play in PL/MSL for years and then qualifier their for OSL for the first time, and they are considered royal roaders.

I hope Rain makes it through. TvP is just a little more comfortable. I can't help but feel that my chances of winning the championship will get higher if Rain advances (laughs).

That is the exact same line people said when Maru wanted to play against Innovation...

That s simple.

It seems like INnoVation's momentum has diminished since the hellbat nerf.
I actually think he was on a decline even before the hellbat nerf took place.

Shots fired.

About the Bomber or Rain. Rain is a more stylistic player, easier to prepare for, specially since it is TvP.

Rain is really great at defending aggression and surviving into the late game where he has superior macro and control. I don't think Maru will be able to all-in him successfully especially now that Rain knows what to expect.

Maru (and all Prime Terran) actually doesn't cheese TvP that much.

Maru is probably most likely of the 3 to 11-11 in TvP though. ByuN most likely to scv pull of course

Rain is better than Bomber overall with significance p ≈ 0.464.

Anyways SC WOOT shoutouts and good for maru, and thanks seeker.

Easier =/= Easy.
And yes it is easier to prepare for expected safe strats.

It'd be funny if Bomber gets through,

then you'd have either the youngest royal roader, or the oldest royal roader...

although it'd be hard to work out who the underdog is then - the sage old player giving it another hurrah, or the vulnerable youth giving it his all against the world of gods and robots.

That's what people said when Maru said he wanted to face Innovation. We all know how that turned out.


Cant cheese the Protoss

화염기갑병 하향 이후 이신형의 기세가 하락세인 듯 하다.

그 이전보다는 약해지신 것 같다.


Maru is not saying Innovation was already on decline even before hellbat nerf, He simply stated that he is weaker than before

(which refers to pre-hellbat nerf time)
