And Maru is Maru. Three consecutive Code S is three consecutive Code S

Also Dear might do his trademarked derp and sacrifice his whole army on a ramp again.

I haven't decided on this one yet though, this is a real 50/50 for me.

ah yes the classic Ulrena game right? I am thinking we will get a PvP semi finals but hoping for some good games

If only that was the only time Dear did that...


It's too bad he hasn't built any manner nexi in years.

TY is the prodigy who lived up to his potential, using his blazing speed to win championships (albeit, a little late) and become one of the top players in StarCraft II. His run at the start of 2017, where he won WESG and IEM back to back, is one of the all-time great competitive peaks. However, a lot of time has passed since then, and we're getting the nagging feeling he should have won again by now.


Thanks goes out to Orlok for not mindlessly repeating the tired trope about TY being a failed talent, while still giving a sober view of his situation the last couple of years


I feel like he's the Terran Dark in that his good games are SO good that he's become mostly immune to results-based criticism (as long as he doesn't get killed in the RO32 or something)

They seem to both have just enough weaknesses that they can't consistently dominate: TY's play always feels a bit shaky since it's so much about control and rhythm, from tailored openings to tons of harassment to technical lategames

TY chokes a lot in big/playoff matches. That's the main reason he doesn't win tournaments.

It's definitely gonna be hard to get another chance to win GSL as good as the last one he had, up 3-2 and ahead after the early game in both game 6 and 7.

Proxy 2-rax against Protoss won KT Proleague the year after!

I hope for some good SC2 tomorrow, hard to pick a winner for either match.

wasn't that with a weaker mothership core though? at least in the context of defending 2rax proxy, nexus cannon is better than pylon cannon cause pylons are easier to kill

mothership core can't help if you forget to build it at the right nexus

Not to mention the game 7 vs Zest the season before. Or the multiple 2-0 into loss during the playoffs of 2017. Or the second factory in the 2016 final (although in that one he was favoured to lose anyway I guess).

Being a TY fan is hard.

Maru used to 2rax vs protoss a lot during HotS. It probably won him his OSL in 2013. PartinG even called him out on it at one point (that he always 2 rax'd when losing in a series).

It is. But putting all losses into one category is just silly. This goes for every player. If one player had won pretty much everything in LotV or even HotS, we wouldn't be having all these.silly Bonjwa topics.

TY's losses are very different too. The reverse sweeps of 2017 are one thing, and tbh the worst loss he suffered was the Ro4 blizzcon against rogue, because he surely would have beaten soO. Losing to Dear in 2016 was something else though - not a mental blockade for TY. Etc

He really *should* have beaten Maru last season. it's not like he really *should have beaten Zest in 2016, and so on
