To me it just looked like he was so far ahead he could do whatever he pleased and decided to add some extra weight to the humiliation. Maru is so arrogant for a sweet kid. Maru was ahead economically indeed but by a small margin as Gumi was on 4 bases as well. Maru's midgame right around the time he took his 4th revolved around defending everywhere with his tanks and retain air superiority. It was a well thought out strategy because Gumi was not prepared for getting pushed back so hard and so fast since he was expecting a full mech comp. Due to the complete switch Maru would be able to take fights at his will since he was at 2-2-2-2 while Gumi must have been trying to get more air and marauders to counter mech which would totally not work against Maru's army. At that level nobody would go out of their way to just humiliate or style on an opponent THAT impulsively. I am pretty sure this is not the first time we have seen this. As I quoted earlier, Fantasy played this against Life for the first time in proleague and had revealed this to have been Oov's idea in an interview. This style was done by Maru as well following Fantasy in the proleague but didn't win that match. | ||

It was a top level PvP between two of the very best. Stats played a great series and nobody could've had any complaints had he won it. Small margins made all the difference. | ||

But I don't see why he would try to humiliate Gumi here, I think the bio switch was well planned. yeah I mean, any argument as to whether it was strategic vs. showing off should be answered by the fact that having loads of marines helped him a lot. they negate a lot of what gumiho would be thinking he needed in that moment - marauders and vikings. and I am sure he has "styled" in the past but I'm not sure we've ever seen maru do something that required that much investment in game that we could say was pure style and not smart strategically. it's a bigger decision than dropping mules on an opponent or something, and the game wasn't over yet so it's not similar to times he may have built CCs across the map (I think this happened at least once in a tvp maru had dominated) | ||

He ends up killing Solar before the bio even comes into play.... Two years later, and he pulls it on a GSL champion Terran, who is the BEST mech-er? If people weren't so invested in the same damn meta game plays, if the players actually experimented instead of just everyone stealing the same builds mindlessly over and over, the game COULD be a lot more dynamic. Baffled me watching the cast listening to Artosis, " I've never seen this before.." I'm like dude, you do this shit for a living, lol. | ||
