Those colossi that are usually turned off by the raven Maru builds for that purpose? I don't know kev (but maybe Stats will snipe it)



but the raven only works in 2 base timing situations, when you hit with a low colo count

Sure, why go for a longer game when you have astonishing micro and the potential to win?

Those last words of PartinG killed me.

Also great choice for Stats as Cap since they're both the nicest guy in their respective universe.

Artosis overrates colossus a lot. They're a waste of money/tech against a raven push. Lately Maru has opened raven every game and gone for a two-base push in most of them.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

maru can probably beat stats, but probably not win the whole tournament. once you've achieved the pinnacle of goat you got nothing left to prove and performance suffers. looks like only SOS and rogue can possibly be a threat to maru though.

hoping soo gets another gold tho!!!

EDIT: PLEASE DO NOT MAKE SOO THE SILVER SURFER. ITS TOO OBVIOUS. make him someone like peter parker. the ordinary every day man, struggling with every day normal things like school and relationships and work, while at the same time having extraordinary power. life shits on peter parker, but he endures and perseveres

Maru will not win this tourney. I think the rapid format will be a problem for him.
Caster duos should compliment each others' strengths. "You look very handsome today, Tasteless."

There are way more villians in the list than heroes, you should change the title.

Since maru has some time to prepare, I think if maru cares enough, he should do fine against Stats. However, super tournament is really right after code S finals, so maru is most likely not as prepared, but then again he did have to prepare hard at TvP against Classic so that might give him an edge over Stats.

I was gonna comment before reading the article how I love GSL's production choices thematically, but this write up was so good there won't be any of that!

Sad that INnoVation is not qualified so we can't make the dead Robogus meme when he ends up being Iron Man

I have no idea who will win but I would want Classic to do so, 2 STs in a row would sort of make up for that lackluster finals in Code S.

Maru just played Trap and Classic in GSL, all he prepared for the past weeks was PvT. I'm afraid he will do this from muscle memory...
Why so serious?
