Stats goes up infinity spots, flying up past everyone to the #3 position just beneath Serral, after getting 2nd place in that same tournament. It's kind of odd, because maybe he actually is deserving of the #3 spot. But it still hardly seems fair, lol | ||

I dont get it why cant they accept Serral beat everyone this month? But oh no, hes not korean so he cant possibly be this high... | ||

When Stats dropped out of the ro16 he completely fell from the list despite having even stronger results previously than Classic now. | ||

When Stats dropped out of the ro16 he completely fell from the list despite having even stronger results previously than Classic now. They do tend to struggle with consistency. My favorite example being TY getting into the PR despite no results because "he's TY" and then dropping out the next month despite winning all his games. | ||

Also he won literally every tournament? WESG and Katowice didn't happen? Stats being so low previously was totally unjustified though and it seems TL writers recognized their mistake. - Also I disagree with the notion that Serral is close to topping the list. I agree with his ranking but he really shouldn't be close to Maru after winning 1 tournament. When Stats won the Super Tournament he wasn't considered close to Maru despite even having reached the GSL finals before | ||

Almost losing to soO's ZvT isn't really what we expect of him. | ||

The true test for maru will be gsl, if he bombs out before ro4 serral will overtake him for sure. Probably even if he doesn't make finals at this point :D Though i think maru's style he showed the last two gsls might be somewhat figured out now, this midgame centered gameplay. If soO wouldn't be totally clueless in lategame he would have won rather easily, leenock did it one game and serral as well. Now that stats also showed how to deal with maru in pvt it will be interesting to see how this develops. | ||

Classic over Gumi is totally stupid though. Gumi has a stronger sampling of games over the past month and a superior win percentage. He also wins in the most important category of actually making it out of his GSL group (in 1st over herO!). Classic's only advantage is GSL vs The World where he only did alright. | ||

Maru was also in shakey form during supertournament 1, both then and in GSL vs TW he said he was taking time off to recharge so it makes sense. If he flops in GSL S3 however, then you can make the case his form has dipped. | ||

Great point, but two things we must consider: (1) It was blatantly obvious that Maru was freestyling. His only builds were his 2-1-1 tank push or proxy 2 rax. I am surprised with him doing the 2-1-1 tank opener despite it being so out there for all zergs to adapt to ever since he took out rogue with it. He basically puts himself behind doing this. Would be better off doing a fast 3 CC opening but then again hes Maru. (2) Considering what his ZvT looked like earlier, sOO looked way sharper. I feel he vastly improved his ZvT before this tourney and considering Rogue who didnt play anywhere close to his own level, its tough to say who was better/worse. But I feel sOO wouldve given Inno a very tough fight had they met up. As far as this tourney goes, obviously serral was way better than an zerg that entered. | ||
