I asked my friends to predict in 2013 WCS Korea Season2 Finals.

They were expected to win the Rain.

What do you think guys? Rain? or Maru?



ESFI Founder & Editor in chief Brent Ruiz
Maru's momentum after his sweep of INoVation in the semifinals will give him all the confidence he needs in his match against Rain. The stage is bigger, but we've seen before that pressure situations don't seem to phase Maru. 4-2 for Maru.


Dan Stemkoski
4-2 rain wins
Rain's great defensive style matches up well against the almost predictably aggressive Maru


Wolf Schröder
Rain will win 4-1. He has a very predictable style, one that is defensive and lategame-oriented. Maru, on the other hand, is an aggressor. He wins games by crippling his opponents early. Unfortunately for him, Rain has the the best defensive PvT in the world. I don't see Maru cracking that more than once.


ToD
Maru has been playing very impressively as of late, but Rain is the ultimate boss and an inspiration for every Protoss out there he will be too strong for Maru. Rain wins 4/1


DoA
Score - Rain wins 4-2
This actually a very interesting finals. Maru certainly has the skill to win and his variety of unique builds might be considered an advantage against a player like Rain who relies mostly on standard play. I think this will be a match of nerves though and Maru won't be able to take the pressure of his first big finals. In the end Rain should be able to keep calm and defend against Maru's aggression to take the win.

no way rain loses, he's protoss and a very smart player.
Rain wins 4-1, maybe 4-2 if maru gets lucky.

Rain will still win.

I mean how many times can you guess the wrong person to win? You'll get lucky eventually.
If you don't like it, you can quit.

I think this might be the match that breaks the Artosis Curse.

Maru is doing great, but the way that Rain shut down Bomber is pretty convincing evidence in his favor.

4-0 Maru don't see how rain could defeat someone who is send by jezus himself to spread doom and chaos on StarCraft 2. After Marineking cut his pols and fed his blood to Maru there is no way he can lose as he's bassicly 2 ultra gosu Korean Terran in 1. Also I'm not worrying about his nerves as he will drink the period blood of Barbie prime to make him an unstoppable monster unicorn with the power to bring worldwide peace and not have nerves too btw. Gogo Maru!

This is the final test of the Artosis curse. If Maru wins, then artosis is gonna get so much hate from his protoss brethren

Artosis curse is killing SC2.
Lower viewership because we already know who wins.
Ideas to help starcraft? Shut him up.
