EPTIn the past I would have given Zest an honest shot with clever/aggressive strats that could potentially catch Maru off-gaurd, but right now Maru's overall level just seems to be so much higher than basically anyone else in GSL. His crisis management and unit control is just too good. Toss manages to pull off a two-gate proxy (sometimes Maru doesn't even scout it) and he still defends and wins those games. Then there was that instant where Maru ran 2 hellions and a reaper up the ramp into Gumi's main vs Gumi's 2 hellions and a reaper, and Maru still wins the fight going up a ramp when Gumi has high-ground vision/advantage?! Like what?! That SHOULD NEVER even be possible, but Maru consistently bends the laws of SC2.
Tastosis have been saying if for a few months now, but basically if you were to rate each aspect of a players game, Maru would score a perfect 10 in each category, where most other players he has been facing always seem to have a few glaringly obvious weaknesses in their play. I can't for the life of me even find any holes in Maru's play right now.
I just wonder if it will be proxy Rax with sometime proxy Fact Cyclone or Fact at home Cyclone into win vs Zest like it was in the Asian game finals vs Nice.
At this point I feel like Maru has such good execution that he can basically do whatever he wants vs Zest and still come out winning the series without breaking much of a sweat.
