StarCraft II at the 2018 Asian Games

(Wiki)Maru was unstoppable at the StarCraft II demonstration at the 2018 Asian Games, winning the gold medal without losing a single game. The back-to-back Code S champion made good on the expectations that he dominate a relatively weak field at the Asian Games, needing less than 30 minutes to defeat Taiwan's (Wiki)Nice 4-0 in the finals.

Though many saw Maru's victory as a foregone conclusion, it was still a relief for South Korean esports fans who saw their vaunted League of Legends team take silver after losing to China in the gold medal match.

Well one of the footballers is only going because he wants to win so he can skip his service so I think it still apply's to Asian games

I like that every game in that tournament was just a slaughter for every player, like every match was a shut out except for 1.

Marujwa wins other, no big surprise here. Still hoping to see his 3rd GSL in a row and then a blizzcon win to top it off

Honestly the LoL demonstration event was more surprising in that the Saudi Arabian team actually took a map off of Taiwan. Starcraft was all by the numbers

If you watch the vod it was actually closer than you might expect. Maru needed more than two units in some of them.
