Maru simply keeps attacking. It's a playstyle balancing on the knife's edge, a russian roulette-esque risktaking that depends on his opponent not calling his bluff, on his Protoss foes not striking when his focus is elsewhere.


PartinG is exceptional at both of these, hence he has a really dominant record vs Maru so far in 2015.
iirc its above 70% or something around there.
Edit: 68.18% in maps, 72.73% in series

I was actually thinking who that person might be.
Didnt even knew there was a Protoss that had a good ratio against Maru these days

herO could take out Maru and I really hope he does, but I don't think he will =(

probably 3 of the 4 best players in the world atm in these quarters. Dream is the one on the outside looking in for me but he's definitely no slouch. these feel like they should be the semis. Sorry lower half of the bracket but you're kind of meh compared to this although byul has been playing well lately and none of the other players are bad or anything. Head herO + Life, heart Maru + Dream


It's pretty much the best four players in the world currently. Dream got more points in Korea than parting did

I'm betting permanently against the TL writers these days, anything less would be wrong.


Also I've given up on trying to get the real herO TLPD. I'm convinced Olli is behind these shenanigans.

It's (P)herO[jOin] which is pretty annoying :S.

This might be the best day of Starcraft 2 for a while with such top level players together in Bo5.
Gogo Maru and Life, show us how good you are and meet in a Titan Clash in Ro4!

Well, Dream and Bbyong couldn't be much different in terms of playstyle though. Dream executes whatever he does really well, but so far I haven't seen much variation in his play. That's definitely an advantage for Life compared to his games against Bbyong.

nice games today!
Just one thing: Can we please stop calling Life "best player of the world", when he can't beat dream (quite good, but at best a top3 terran atm) in a macro game and even losing on a zerg favoured map in a straight up game.
So TL can we please stop calling him the best? thx :D
