at this point blizzard wont do anything when it comes to balance since there is an equal representation of terran in GSL code S round of 16. HOWEVER, in case if those terrans in round of 16 get eliminated and only 1 or 2 makes it through to the next round then they might reconsider the state of the game for terrans.

They won't.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Relax. It's the first big tournament since the last patch. Players will adapt.
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

damn that sucks for maru, hope he can maintain his form in the current GSL. this in no way diminishes the fact that kid is a beast, not only all the shit he HAS won, plus 3 GSLs in a row. a living god. guess even gods have off days. i pray that he wins a weekender so the "MARU SUCKS AT WEEKENDERZ LULZ HE IS BAD" can stfu


You are overreacting, nodoby said he sucks at weekenders but it's a fact(a real fact) that he doesn't win them often.


more referring to the blizzcon thread when he lost to SoS, theres this one fanboy who is like a reverse rodya named dave or something

interesting - i didnt watch the games can you elaborate? i noticed in pylon show after maru won a historic 3 GSLs in a row, incontrol was very nonchalant about it and didn't seem to give a crap at all and was like whatevers. he was more focused on: "are proxies the new meta now?" instead of talking about how incredible the feat was. very disappointing if this is true.

he was criticizing Maru for building third CC when it shouldve been obvious that leenock wouldve tried go all in to end the game at that point since Maru dealt some cripling early game damage. it was a really dumb move on maru's part and cost him the game

everyone was critical there, but incontrol is just blunt about things

I explained all that in my post.

That Maru practices in a Teamhouse environ.... Probably against Rogue, who most likely responds differently than Leenock.

If you know Marus play, hes been doing proxies for a out 5 years now. People act like it's a new meta. He actually turned it into a legit opening......

It's like criticizing Trap for being unprepared for heroes insanity.....

He didn't call Maru stupid, he said he played stupid.

That is a wild assumption youre making

4 minutes into the game, Zerg is one base to Terran's two and down 10 workers. No Zerg player in his right mind tries to macro back in that scenario. That's pretty much an insurmountable obstacle for the Zerg in a macro sense.

There is nothing insane about what Leenock did (as opposed to Hero). And even if Maru based his strategy around Rogues unique response, that is still really stupid because he isnt playing rogue lmao

no matter how you look at it, Maru made a dumb decision and it cost him the advance to RO12

the idea that he doesn't care for hundred+ thousand of dollars and the trophy because it s not named "GSL code S season x" is not very convincing


Despite what you think, most humans in the world aren't irrational and greedy. Besides, he's won enough money already.

I think it's more plausible to say that Maru can't marathon especially if you think about ProLeague days.

Yes, and despite that; Maru is still ranked #1 - at least according to this - https://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft2/rankings

Maru - $699,958
Rogue - $619,243
Serral - $601,329
