TY, Bogus, sOs, and maybe Stats on a good day are the only ones I see stopping Maru from ro8+ anymore. | ||

I actually don't see Maru being undisputed until he starts dominating big weekender tournaments. If he wins Super Tournament and eventually takes Blizzcon, then I think there will be few doubters. Until then, I think there will be people who would dispute the claim. My guess is that probably he has the most evidence behind him for best in the world right at this moment, but it's been a bit of a bumpy ride this year so far. | ||

I'm satisfied you have taken yet another step towards your goal Maru. | ||

I am hoping we see some more Circuit players in GSL later in the year now that Challenger has been reinstated. That would be more interesting to me than the bottom four Korean players. | ||

But man was that game on kings cove intense. I'm pretty sure that "learning a lot" involves... building a bunker! or... building a bunker? Overall, Classic showed complete lack of understanding of the MU or, which is more likely, he just had no confidence against maru (or terrans in general), so he avoided standard plays at all costs. Pretty dissapointing series. But they also prove how broken PvT is. And by that i mean too many agressive options for terran early/mid game which (if executed correctly, and not w/o coinfliping sometimes) makes playing from a protoss perspective a real pain in the ass. Like, for the first half of the game you are paranoid about terran agression hoping to survive till the late game, where you actually don't have any edge against terran compositions that involve ghosts. So yep, protoss still have to rely on gimmicks against competent terrans, who just play their cards cold minded. And almost forgot, you also have to read through numerious tl threads with diamond terrans whining about your race, that's a nuisance too, but i can live with that. | ||

Another season with brilliant games by players like TY, Dark, Classic... and another Season with one obvious winner and obvious great losers. Congratulations for Maru's fans! | ||

Which is why when he’s failed to make his side of the bracket everyone’s been disappointed. I am hoping we see some more Circuit players in GSL later in the year now that Challenger has been reinstated. That would be more interesting to me than the bottom four Korean players. Well, Serral really isn't the hottest player right now. Right now Maru needs to beat the likes of Reynor, Innovation, soO and Dark to prove his skill. | ||

Flash is also a Terran in SCR... Hmmmmmm If only there was a word for this kind of situation. I have not followed SC2 for a long time and it appears I have missed NOTHING. SAD ^_._^ | ||

I always go reactor vikings against proxy Tempest and it works most of the time, why did he try to go cyclones? I'm not sure but aren't you getting vulnerable to gateway units if you're going for mass vikings? | ||
