LOL this was an awesome read.
Love Maru - monstrous Terran.
I remember thinking the same thing watching the code S finals last year like come on bro - I stayed up to watch you - and its over x(.
Conversely - I think the SOS vs. Maru series at Blizzcon may have been the shortest ever bo5???
I ran to grab beer and came back and it was over - felt bad.
Edit: Also - the pic on the OP is fucking epic -
It's probably an exact copy of Rogue/Dark recurring nightmares - Maru face and all lmao

A comparison to fast series from other players would be nice.
I guess there wont be a really fast Zerg, but some other Terrans and Protosses could be up there?
|
|
This makes me wonder: what's the fastest bo7 that Maru has lost?
|
I'm a little bit lazy but can someone check the actual time (not HotS time) of the games-only between herO and sOs for the 2014 IEM WC Finals (the infamous double-proxy-gateway twice)? I think that one was pretty short despite being a 4-1 series.

Oh MKP-sOs that must have been a fast one.

NesTea vs Inca and well. Nestea vs Losira was longer but probably over in like 40 minutes LotV time.
sOs vs Marineking in the hot6 finals was quite quick although it had I think one macro game.
The last ever proleague match as well.

It is not even that unthinkable that Maru could do something similar to Classic again on Sunday. I hope he just wins somehow though as a 4th GSL title in a row would be nuts!! GO MARU! If he speed runs Classic like he did to Zest then Afreeca may think of creating more content to show as SC2 won't be enough  Haha yeah, would need a showmatch after xd they could always do a 3rd place match

Ya I try to find it, but it seems like in his last breath of life Inca made most of his final invisible too.

This was a really interesting read, great idea!

I'm sorry but, to be honest...
I hope he sweeps Classic.
Sorry

Still getting chills from the 4th game of that finals against Zest. What. A. Game.

ppl complain about the speed runs but i thought it was awesome. watching a GOAT unlock his final form and just ddddddominate like goku turning super saiyan and crushing frieza. moar 4-0s from maru pls. unless he's playing soo, then i want soo to win

Only question that i have left, what s the quickest, NON-Maru best of 7 ever played in a premier event? One of the quickest is Innovation vs. Stats grand final at IEM Gyeonggi 2016.
What's interesting about this series, is that each successive game got shorter and shorter lol
Game times;
Game 1: 12:04 Game 2: 11.36 Game 3: 6.31 Game 4: 4.16
Total time: 34:27.

Im also in the speed running wagon, its something special watching him being so dominant (in GSL). I was literally laughing in the last game vs zest, if it was a movie i would hate the script for being so unrealistic.
