Awesome write up. I love the part about Maru being a combination of all the other Terrans he was surrounded by in Prime.

Because this season is OSL and not GSL code S


There have only been 2 OSLs in SC2, half the field would have been "royal roader"
Its a dumb title; stop preaching it.

Gogo Maru! I've believed in you since the start, you can do it!
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

yet that's what half the players said in their interviews (bomber, first among others); they wanted to go for the RR award. I agree its stupid but hey, if they never played a OSL before and this IS their first OSL, why wouldnt they be a possible royalroader?

also, hoping for good games with maru winning in the end!

Rain gonna win 4-0, he'll hide behind the mothership-core, zealot harass and obsverservs, tech to collosi and storm 2-2 upgrades and then take a third, get up 15 gates and hit with 3-3 kill everything with storms and warp-in zealots from chronoed gates while having warp-prism in the main to split the terran's attention. same thing will happen 4 games in a row.

I saw the list of 8 two-time OSL champions and was confused for why there were 7...

You guys left off July!

Well I am rooting for Rain coz he's a protoss. However, maru's mind game and his early aggression may be able to cause an upset.
