He looks really out of shape compared to 2015/2016 I think part of it is that viable Terran styles have changed over the years but Maru's style hasnt. It's especially notable in his tvp he keeps trying to constantly medivac droing his opponents but with the current protoss styles there just arnt many holes to exploit in the midgame stoping phase. Often I see him just lose all the units and kill like 100-150 minerals worth of stuff in return. It hurts man I love maru's drop heavy style but drop heavy styles don't work well in tvp since phonix adept became dominant in the meta, they don't work well in tvz since the queen range buff and they don't work well in tvt outside of doom drops. Terran is much more focused around big front on pushes or small harass to pick at the edges than it used to be. | ||

I remember vividly 2015 maru vs myunsik where he made no single viking to beat a phoenix colossus combo and myunsik cried after losing the game | ||

At least in that particular matchup. | ||
