im not betting before the artosis prediction is announced
that being said im believing in rain's power to scout whatever random things maru dares to throw at him and be able to react properly, and tbh I feel like the meta game is kinda favoring protoss right now, so GO RAIN!!

I would say Rain 4-3 Maru since the prodigy is unpredictable. Whoever wins I'm happy altough I would prefer Rain to get 2 OSL championships

Gonna have to root for Maru on this one. Not that I don't like Rain by any means, I just really want to see someone pick up the mantle of Optimus again.

great write up.
i wont maru to win for so many reasons
prime to have another champion
esf to beat the 'evil' kespa giant
and to hear all the winning and bitching if he cheeses his way to a 4-1 or 4-2 don't really see rain letting himself get rolled 4-0 even on an off day
no. monkeys land on their feet, they're like masturbating cats ~ #~hyvaa~#~

Go claim the title of OptimusPrime Maru!
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

I feel sorry for Maru because his only chance is to cheese. It's not because he is the less skilled player but TvP in HOTS is a joke. Terran has to all-in or die. The final will be all-in after all-in after all-in etc. In BW TvP was one of the best matchup...

I bet Maru goes expo first in the first two games. And I'm gonna call it Maru 4-3 just so that when he wins and the world burns, I can at least say I called it

Can't cope with everyone underestimating Maru, he's got top 2 micro on the planet (with first spot obviously occupied by Bogus) and a killer strategical sense, he'll take the finals.
GL Rain, you'll need it.

Like Mvp .. Life is the same kind of player. he struggles hard in bo1/3 stages but is unbeatable in a bo5/7 (btw Life never lost a bo5/7 in a lan event) that's the reason why i hate ppl saying things like "Life was just a patchzerg" or "RIP Life he will never come back" but on other hand he won against Bomber 4:2 in Ritmix V and like i said struggles in this bo1 group stages..
1day this guy will go throw the groupstage and will win his gsl/osl again!! :D


? wat.

This is Maru vs. Rain, Life has nothing to do with this :D

Summer of protoss! All three regions will have a protoss champion, mark my words. That being said, I feel Rain is just too impervious to aggression and with all the "TvP imba" qq the only rational choice here is to go for gold.
Life is more interesting when you look at the back of things. Women, that’s obvious. Baseball cards. Puppet shows…
