Lol, trophy almost as big as Maru
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Great to see Maru triumph on the big stage again, it's been a long time since he lifted a trophy. And what a trophy!

So happy that he managed to win! Though Im confused, why Dark pulled away drones before killing off bunker in last game.

Dark's finals loses are even harder to stomach than soO's. He plays so damn well and most of the time looks like the better player but still manages to lose somehow.

With soO you rarely get the impression that he might really win it.

The upcoming GSL final will decide

And if soO wins GSL by beating Dark, Dark will be cursed forever
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

@Veluvian I do not agreed with you in this, big macro games are just an aspect of the game, the strategy includes start, the game and the post-game and Maru played thayt better than Dark, Maru just applied a point of pressure and Dark broke.

I'm pretty sure soO transferred the Kong line to Dark when he won that finals. soO has still lost 4 finals since then, but it's not a constant, season-after-season exercise in futility. They also haven't been the heartbreakers that his finals against Classic and Solar were, where he was the favorite to win, or came very close to winning. He's just been outclassed by players in peak form, while soO was just below them. Dark, however, has lost 5 finals since then, with 3 of them going to a game 7. So while soO hasn't been able to get past his mental block in finals, Dark has shown more of the heartbreak we associate with a Kong.

I still can't believe he didn't pool first g6 or g7. Maru is well known for this type of play Hopefully we'll see some revenge (or fewer proxy losses) in the GSL tournament!

Love game 1.That is how zerg should be designed,mindless macro,keep inefficiency trading and overwhelm enemy.
Only retards think 8 armor ultra and infestor are for zerg's army.Those thing are protoss units...
Whine aside i could see Maru goes easy for Dark in GSL.

Yeah, game one of the series is how I envision Zerg should be. Constant trading over and over until you starve the other person out. Zerg shouldn't have ultra powerful deathball armies, they should be running around and attacking or swarming and win by starving out their opponents. Oh well.

If Dark is out soO-ing soO, then that means soO is the 2nd best soO which makes him the soO of soOs.

They both played incredibly well, and they both took home quite a bit of money I believe. This was a great series.

I also think Maru will have learned and adjusted from this series. I actually expect Maru to get in his head, put him on tilt early, and totally stomp him.

Game 1 was not macro game, it was roach/ravager 5 minute push that decided the game. 9/10 players would have lost right then, Maru survived and took the game to the late game, but he was so far behind he could have won only if Dark would have made some major blunders, and he didn't.

Welcome to TL!
Nice call with your first post, indeed, G1 was an allin that worked, but dindt kill the Terran off entirely, and ended up being a 30+ minutes starvation game.

Congratulations for Maru!! Huge success, impecable performance from both players.

It's middle of March, and JAGW already have a shitload of money. They should hire new players! Hire soO!
This man suffers from a bad heart, but I have plenty of medicine.

With this Maru, imo, takes the spot of best Terran player (currently, not all time) AND the number 1 spot for earnings in prize money !

GG to him
