Thanks for the translation.

It would be awesome if Maru will win. But also I want Rain to defend his OSL throne.

Either way it'll be historical:

Royal Roader who might break FlaSh's record (if the interview is correct), or a second OSL for a Brotoss player, probably the first one on SKT's history too.

It's not Flash's record. They said on stream that Flash would still be the youngest player but Maru would be the youngest royal roader because Flash's 1st OSL wasn't a royal road
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Royal_Road#OSL_Royal_Roaders

Ah my mistake.

wait, so maru isn't setting any records anymore?

He would be the youngest Royal Roader. Not the youngest starleague winner
If I looked at it right, the youngest royal roader ever was (Z)July at 17 years 7 months and 13 days.
Maru would be 16 years 0 months 13 days

I thought jaedong was the youngest royal roader so far?

According to Liquipedia
July was born on December 18, 1986. The 2004 Gillette OSL ended on July 31, 2004. A difference of 17 years 7 months and 13 days
Jaedong was born on January 9, 1990. The EVER 2007 OSL ended on December 22, 2007. A difference of 17 years 11 months and 13 days.
So Jaedong was slightly older

Everybody who practices with Flash FROM TIME TO TIME wins. Otherwise, they forget how to win.

Outside of Parting (who won't help I'm sure), he can maybe get help from Squirtle? Or even Creator, although at this point Rain's style is becoming more diverse, possibly too diverse for Creator to imitate. He can be a good macro game practice partner though.

Creator is like a inferior version of Rain so he would be a good choice(take that Opterown ).

Don't forget that Rain also practiced with Mercury. Sometimes players who haven't shown their skills live are still good, or at least able to come up with good strategies. There might be some practice bonjwas helping Maru out.

rain is playing better than creator but considering rain's style was copied from creator in the first place, it just means he's transitioned better. they played a close 2-1 pvp series lately in wcg and creator still leads their h2h.

I wouldn't say Rain copied Creator's style. They both play "standard" and safe but they're different brands of standard if that makes sense.

To me Creator has always been about being as greedy as possible while Rain is about staying as safe as possible. Rain doesn't often cut corners to get an advantage because he is confident he's going to win if they are even. Creator sometimes cuts corners to take that advantage. Sometimes he pays for it.

And he's obviously right. There are very few Terrans in the world right now that can touch Soulkey's ZvT. Check what he did to Alive at the last season finals. That's what he does any non-elite TvZer. Soulkey got a super rough deal this OSL, he would've been a heavy favourite over any Ro16 player not named Bogus.

I don't want to start a 'who would have beaten who' discussion. I personally think Maru would've gotten smashed vs Soulkey, but this sort of tournament theorycrafting never leads to anything good. I think it's beyond a doubt though that Maru got the better semis pairing for him. His branch of T relies heavily on coming up with builds that can hit aggressive timings. That sort of thing works much better against a player like Bogus than in a TvZ against the best defensive Zerg on the planet.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer
