Funny how much confidence he has in Maru. I would not consider Maru to be that good right now, though he looked pretty great last night. His matches in NSSL were... Okay.

I think Innovation, Dark, and Dream are all totally capable of taking out Maru. But Maru should not be sent out first. Cure is a much safer pick. They can save Maru till later since there is a 2nd Catallena.

I think Maru's TvP and TvZ look pretty good lately. Not too high on his TvT though from the little I've seen

better than dream's and maybe even inno's id argue

I'd argue that Dreams TvT is actually pretty top notch right now looking at recent results, I think Marus is probably just as good, I'd consider both of them top tier in TvT.

I'm kind of curious what Marus weaker matchup is at the moment, his TvT and TvZ have been looking really strong but I don't think I've seen that many TvPs from him lately. I'm wondering if he is the P killer still like he used to be.
Looking at Maru he seems to be very stable in all matchups if you believe he hasn't totally taken a nosedive in his TvP skills.

In my mind Maru is probably favored against everyone on the SKT lineup, I do think both Dark and Dream is just a tiny notch below though and could totally take him out. Inno is a great player and his proleague record is beast but to be honest I haven't seen him go toe to toe with the big boys yet, he's not in SSL and in GSL he beat Super and Solar (wow) and in SPL the only noteworthy wins he has is against TY and sOs. He is overhyped at the moment I think Dream has shown more metal recently.



Just saying, bogus is doing pretty well lately

I'm definitely hyped to see what will happen with Inno this weekend. I hope we get to see him and I hope Rogue can smash his undefeated record into the dirt, twice if necessary!

Maru is currently the top Terran in the world for sure. The only other Terran that is in the same class as him is Innovation.

I compiled a list of tiers currently in the Korean scene. I don't even watch Europe and America scene anymore. Waste of my time.

S-tier Terran: Maru, Innovation
A-tier Terran: Dream, Bbyong
B-tier Terran: Skyhigh, MarineKing, Flash

S-tier Protoss: Rain, herO, sOs, Zest,
A-tier Protoss: Parting, Classic, MC
B-tier Protoss: Hush, Sora

God-tier Zerg: Life
S-tier Zerg: Rogue, Soo, Dark
A-tier Zerg: Byul, Leenock
B-tier Zerg: Departure, Losira

Yes, only Life is a God-tier player because without a doubt he is the best starcraft 2 player currently. I bet you he is going to win the most tournaments this year. I will take up any bets.

Cure is the safe lead for Jinair. Catellena, plus he's solid in all 3 matchups and since SKT won't lead Innovation, he should be in decent shape against Classic if they go that way, which potentially gets rid of the Protoss threat on SKT's side. If they use soO that gets rid of the potential meta-snipe on Maru with their history and Cure should have an edge on Catellena and with soO's form. If they lead with Dark, it's a coinflip using one of SKT's two best players, and JinAir can then choose the right player for the second map snipe on him. Also leaves one of each of the three races for JinAir to fire in remaining matches.It'd be pretty boss if they sent out Maru first to try and all-kill, but it's probably not the right play objectively. Wrong map for Rogue, it would risk coming up against Dream's hugely underrated TvZ on a great terran map.

It's a lot tougher working out who SKT should lead with. Dream's TvT, while improving, still isn't quite as good as Cure's, although if Jinair lead with Rogue it'd be the right choice. The zergs are out due to the map and that leaves Classic, but if they use Classic then they have to rest one of soo/dark/dream assuming they're using Innovation as their ace which let's face it they will be.

At the end of the day I think this is going to come down to Maru vs Innovation in map 7, but anything is possible. I'm going to go with Jinair win 4-3 in a minor upset. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is the final as well at the end of this proleague season although in 3 rounds a lot can change.

Dude your list is painfully inaccurate in my opinion, looks like its from last year. Marineking and Flash are both doing horrendous at the moment, TY is doing a lot better than those players not to mention Cure, Skyhigh monstered it up a few months ago but has also not shown anytning in recent 1-2 months.

sOs has done absolutely nothing recently, he hasn't even qualified fr SSL or GSL and he has been losing in SPL. You say you don't watch the foreigen scene, but do you even watch the korean one? Stats, Dear and Super does better than him at the momentl.

Your zerg lineup I can kind of agree with barring soO (has done what recently?) and Departure.
Maru, Bomber, TY, Dear, Classic, DeParture and Rogue!
