I used to hate him when he played versus Rain. Then I saw him play against Dear. Now he is my favorite player.

I just love how damn nonchalant he looked in his hoodie at the season finals every time, just standing there with his hood up chewing bubble gum. As if he was basically saying to the world, "get out of my way you old geezers, it's my time to shine." Maru fighting!
Maru - The Terran hope is alive!

I would welcome Maru getting far in the tournament, while destroying Dear on the way.

I'm assuming I will change my mind once the article on Dear is out.

Great read as all of the other articles! But gotta love Maru's attitude, and I want him to take his revenge on Dear so much!

Go Maru!

It takes quite a long time of playing and watching a video game before you realize how bad at it you really are.

Mannn, ever since I saw Maru for the first time and rape Protoss players completely, I knew he was something for in the future.
Now it seems like he's unstoppable, maybe he IS unstoppable. Only problem is that Dear just can't lose and apparantly the math work like this ;

Can't lose --> Unstoppable

Please somebody tell him in time not to wear that hoody once he visits the US.
You neva know when one of the free ranging morrons over there feels the need for self defence.

Honestly IDK if I root for Maru to win the whole thing, but damn sure I want him to slap Dear this time..
=========================================================================

In other words - If Dear wins over JD then I wanna see his ass kicked all over the place, and his face slapped by this kid..

If JD however wins that "early" encounter.. Not sure If I'd prefer Maru to win.. Probably would prefer JD over him.. :/

Sorry Maru - might be my favourite Terran, but not favourite player overall.. GGs and GL none-the-less..
Another world, another place, another universe, won the race.. :) ;) :P

If Maru was able to shatter Rain's wall of ice with blunt force, then going up against Dear has been like punching a wall of water.


Great writing!
