I think Artosis was TOTALLY wrong to downplay Maru in his commentary to hype the GSL Finals. He was trying HARD to fabricate exactly what he said he wasn't doing... to play up the ONE match that is the GSL Finals. Granted it IS an important match, but the game will be much better served to play up just how dominant Maru's abilities and skills are compared to the rest of the field. We need to hope Maru becomes the next Tiger Woods, Federer (or Flash!) to keep SC2 going! | ||

He was better in everything. Split's army and ghost's micro were on the top. Also, in my opinion... Zest has a weak chin at macro games. They say that so it becomes very clear that Maru won even though T is obviously the worse and underpowered race and Maru still won. Still won!

Can we make it official and say that Maru is the best player in the world?. (read above again why this was written) Sure, just together with all the other terrran players like MvP, Innovation, flash, teaja. I mean it is obvious that anyone that doesn't play terran could never legitimately become best player of the world. Lets see which terran becomes next best player of the world. Very curious myself. Terran has a along history of best players of the world, while it is the most UP race ever, and while no player of any other race has ever become best player of the world. Makes sense! Lets look back a bit: While T was very UP in the beginning, and players like fruitdealer, nestea or some protosses won GSLs out of race superiority, MVP was the best player in the world - obvious is obvious. Later on when life abused his race to death, Innovation + Taeja became best players of the world to stop him from gaining that title. When SOS or any other non terran won anything, it was luck and all-in and only $0$-money driven, but not well played and not at all best player of the world. Lately Innovation stayed best player of the world, even though he didn't show it, everyone knew he still is best player of the world. Until now that luckily Maru takes over and is best player of the world. Ohh and flash - while all dat - he ofc was best player of the world all the time anyway, was just misunderstood. Dudes, this sounds funny, but it is for real what 70%+ of TL staff and +/-100% of terran players on TL believe for real. For real. And whenever there is a phase of the game when anyone else could scratch to get that title, they release articles like ZvP craft, put them into bad light and explain in detail why and how they could win without having any skill at all and it is not likely to be repeated. Ohhhhh lets not forget about polt_prime, best foreigner ever. As noone that is anything but terran player can ever be best player and noone of the foreign scene was able to get that title, they unceremoniously made polt a foreigner, so that a terran could be best foreigner.

flash - mvp - innovation - taeja - innovation - and now maru. That's how it is. Truth has been spoken. Does anyone else come to your mind who has ever been best player of the world? Did I forget any terran player? | ||

Would you accept a few articles written by me during hours of humility about terran = best race of the world? Fuck, you got that already, I am ashamed to admit that I cannot offer anything to you tha you need and have to live forever with the crime that I have committed. | ||

Also you (LSN) sound angry, but for example Life was up there as the best foreign player durring his peek. Flash never was best SC2 player, only Terrans who can touch that title so far are MVP, Innovation and maybe Maru if he will continue winning more stuff this year. | ||

Mvp, NesTea, Zest, Inno, Maru, Life seem like the obvious GOATs but a lot of them still had competition. I'd still argue soO is the closest thing to a bonjwa we've had in sc2. | ||

Plenty of players have been considered the #1 for relatively short periods of time (Stats, Classic, sOs, ByuN, Rogue, Dear being examples). Mvp, NesTea, Zest, Inno, Maru, Life seem like the obvious GOATs but a lot of them still had competition. I'd still argue soO is the closest thing to a bonjwa we've had in sc2. Just a consensus in the community that the player is the clear #1 without it being really arguable. I don't think that was ever the case for sOs due to his inconsistency. Classic had a sick winrate early this year but it didn't translate into any tournament wins so I don't think you could call him the definitive 1. But you're right with Stats, when he won his GSL he really was on top of the world. | ||
