Recently there was nothing about maru that's really special and fun. I actually like him more in HOTS with the MARUders drop on colossi that was much more amusing. I'm not following the scene as much as i used to but TY was the latest terran I really liked. Up until very recently when he played mech vs protoss against Stats. I really root for terrans playing mech in TvP. Makes the matchup much more interesting since bio vs P is always kinda the same and kinda "i have to kill him in 15 minutes or i'm dead". | ||

Quite recently Maru can be described as "If I don't proxy you I will outmacro you in a way you wouldn't believe"? | ||

The answere lies in the valuation of the factors "numbers of premier wins", "numbers of starleague wins", "number of weekender wins", "consistency" and "back-to-back victories". Yes, so: Maru is the GSL goat but he's by faaaaaaaaar no goat in general because he sucks too much in non korean tournaments. Topic closed :p We can open another goat discussion if he wins a non korean tournament some time or at least makes it to the finals. | ||

It's entirely possible; also, don't forget this poll was created right after Maru's fourth Code S victory and may have been influenced by that. Let's at least wait the results of Nakajin's GOAT contest! In any of case, just as you lol since those fools don't believe 4xCode S erase every single achievement everyone could have reached, I believe Maru is too monodimensional of a player and has not won enough(yet) to truly be GOAT. | ||

Those damn mono battles in Proleague could have been fun, but Maru decided to not do them. Unless he proxied and go monobattles with marines. | ||

Survey - How is Maru the G.O.A.T? 1. Gutsy, ingenious plays. 2. Maru games are rarely boring + Show Spoiler + *cough*innovation3baseconstantmmmpushofdeathcough*. 3. Gets the Raven nerfed and still wins GSL x 4. 4. GSL x4, in a row. 5. All of the above. | ||

idk who you'd put above him or why. if he hadn't come back to keep winning code S after losing some weekend style tourneys at the end of last year I'd say sure, you can argue he isn't the goat. but he did. if he wins 5 I don't even wanna hear any discussion hahaha. but after 4, reaching into a second calendar year, I feel he is the untouchable goat. remember before this streak even happened he'd already proved himself as special by being the only Terran that could play TvP the way he did at the level he did. the 4 CONSECUTIVE GSL CODE S TITLES are icing on top of the player he'd already shown himself to be, a likely top 5 all time terran. then he won 4 code s titles in a row. so... | ||

No way on Earth Maru could have been a top 5 all time Terran before 2018. What about players winning more tournaments(especially more than one weekender in nine years) having played the game significantly less(having slightly lesser Code S success, this "four consecutive titles" is making everyone lose their mind)? | ||

Simple: Inno, Serral, Stats are some of the players to put above Maru. They have the ability to win tournaments without preparing for days. Maru apparantly hasn't. Untouchable GOAT? You can't be a GOAT if you're such an inconsistent Player as Maru is and get crushed in the early rounds of regular Tournaments. | ||
