Neither his gameplay or results have ever followed the norm. Plus even at his worst he's still capable of beating anyone. People say his 2016 was tragic but he had the greatest proleague run of all time, as well as some of the worst GSL bracket luck of all time. His 2017 was lackluster but but he still had his share of amazing games in there. Yup, he usually get the worst bracket ever in GSl, except for the last one :D | ||

Reserved and humble during interviews, he asserted himself with an ‘I don’t give a s@$t’ attitude once the game began reserved yes, but humble? i rather think that he actually doesnt give a s@$t about interviews and is more introvert and taciturn than humble. if it wasnt for that rogue interview and his wrist issues, i would have even said that all those interviews after wins where he rates himself 6/10 or sth like that make him cocky, but all things considered it does make sense he feels that way. overall nice article, i can definitely empathize with a lot of the expressed feelings :D always loved maru and his playstyle and was very sad when he slacked in individual leagues in lotv. especially with what rogue said (which i can totally imagine to be true and a big factor, wrist issues aside) i cant help but think of life. also a unique aggressive style, eventually rounded out by according macro, best of his race / in the world at times, but then gets complacent and falls off for months. their rivlary is the cherry on top of this thought^^ lets hope that maru keeps up the practice and also with the help of his teammates stays on top! i also disagree with a lot of comments in this thread or dont like their tone, but i'm not in the mood to argue :^) | ||

But I just really want to say that your writing has improved a lot, Mizenhauer! Keep going, I really liked this one. And since I have seen a few comments wondering why this isn't a blog or something, I feel the need to point out that this article was labeled as a column. After all, Mizen has already written about players/tournaments in a more critical way in the past, so I guess you can call all these a column. As far as I know, the definition of a column contains that the written article always voices an opinion, so they will naturally be more personal. Like it was done here where Mizen just told his own experience with Maru from a fan's perspective. I guess in our modern age people would usually label it as a blog post, yes, but it's not wrong to post it as an article of a column either. Just saying. ^-^ | ||
