Well Has can't be in the same group as Maru. Even if he was terran proxies hard counter most protoss proxies anyway (from what I understand).
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Marus ascension has been like a dream come true for me, he's been my favorite player since 2015. To watch your absolute favorite climb from great to GOAT(my opinion, no point arguing because my opinion is my own) is something few fans are lucky enough to experience. Its been a wild ride =D

Lol, what? Blindsided me there.

He's roleplaying as a certain other TLer.

5 starleagues to 0. It's not even close unless you value blizzcon to some ridiculous degree.


sOs, has been to 2 GSL finals, even though he lost them. Blizzcon does have to have some serious value though, as it only happens once a year, and he won both of them when Blizzcon was basically just Koreans. 2015 was just one foreigner, and the same with 2013. His 2015 run was especially impressive as he beat PartinG, Rain, Rogue and then Life.
Mark my words, sOs will win a GSL one day

Blizzcon is greater than any regular weekender, but it isn't a starleague.

I dont see anyone loosing to Has at Blizzcon. His group will be prepared and we all saw at GSL vs the World what happens if players of that caliber are prepared for that. In his WCS run he caught some off guard. After Korea Showtime should have now a way better idea what he's facing. Has will get stomped.

I've been waiting for this tournament win to bust out with this, and I just now remembered. I guess some people became Maru fans in 2015, but...

I'm really surprised that Maru isn't higher in the "head vote"... I guess it's stiff competition, it's pretty unpredictable, but I think Maru has excellent chances. He might not win this season, but I think he's got a lot of potential. I wouldn't be surprised to see him totally dominate for a while somewhere in the future.


The people replying at the time seemed to think he was not a prodigy. Fuck 'em, I been on the Maru train since 2012.

I agree that Blizzcon is worth less than a starleague for SURE, but sOs Blizzcon runs were really magical. I think they are the two Blizzcon wins that mean more than any other. Having said that Maru > sOs in terms of legacy/career still.

Can't wait for Maru's next match.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

I should write an article about how I was right about Maru. I still remember the arguments I had in the Power Rank years ago that placed Innovation #1 and Maru #2 after Maru swept him in matches that weren't close in the OSL Semi-Finals before wrecking Rain and winning it all.

But then I'd have to write an article about how I should be more humble, and I'm not humble.

Maru will be remembered as the better player. Innovation was the fanboy pick because he came from Kespa. But Maru always had more potential, and it only took time for him to show it.

Only MVP was better.
