Why is everyone predicting soulkey is gonna beat Maru?

Any reason? From my perspective I think soulkey vs maru is going to look like early 2013 soulkey vs innovation. Maru is unstoppable man.
The game is balanced. We just suck.

Because Maru has never beaten Soulkey in a match, and in sets, Maru vs Soulkey is 3–13 (18.75%). Also ZvT favors zerg right now slightly.

Except by Effort, Byul, Soulkey, soO, Life, Soulkey, Curious, Soulkey, and Soulkey.

But apart from those Zergs, no, he doesn't lose at all. No reason to think Soulkey will beat him.

I wanted Soulkey Innovation for all mirror match ups.

Just kidding. I hate mirror match ups.

I could see Maru winning. Most people think ZvT is Zerg is favored, including David Kim. That's why they made the change to Hellbats.

You can never count a Terran out though. They can have very technical builds that give them a win. Maru is one of the best at transitioning out of a build rather than make it an all-in.

Don't see Zest losing. With people saying his PvT was not his strongest, his games vs inno showed otherwise. Would like to see a Maru Zest finals thought...

It's more of a compliment to his PvZ and PvP than anything else. He looked incredibly composed in both of those match-ups since his all-kill of SKT. His only offline bo3 loss since that all-kill was that 1-2 to Maru in the RO16 last season. In PL he also lost to BByong twice & Gumiho. While there's no shame in losing to any of these guys. it's the one match-up he doesn't seem to dominate all the time.

I do not think Maru is anywhere close to the best Terran in the world. But he plays like the Terran Fruitdealer to make it work. Just my opinion.

Personally, I would prefer that he steps down as an effort to demonstrate the current state of Terran. Yes, this includes 3-base SCV pull which I don't think is a "strategy". It would provide a lot more notoriety instead of a Terran making it to the top 4 before failing.

I'd bet on Soulkey winning, but its too bad I can't bet in US online

Classic vs ParalyzE could actually be the closest series of the rest of this GSL, with ParalyzE probably edging Classic out.

No chance for a soO v Zest finals rematch but perhaps in the semis. That was just an amazing match last season, looks like a really sick lineup nonetheless. Would be amazing if Maru could go all the way through in this seemingly low point for Terran, good luck to all

I don't even play Terran but I can't help but root for Maru kicking ass against all odds. Him winning would be bigger to me than Fruitdealer winning Season 1 for the zergs.
