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.

I know it was a bo5 but wasn't soO-Solar dreamhack final crazy fast too?

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

Haven't done the math, but surely NesTea vs Inca has to be in contention

And Classic vs soO semis
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Life vs Lilbow is probably the most famous one. Although I doubt TL would list any Life games in an article. Granted it was only bo5

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.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Haha wow, Maru is something else! 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

Game 4 is the only one i found on utube, it was 13 real minutes (20 in game minutes), so i dont think so.

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!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Still getting chills from the 4th game of that finals against Zest. What. A. Game.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

just the other way in the LR thread there was a discussion and uncertainty about the shortest series (premier events, best of 7)
Indeed a gap filling article!

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.
