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.

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

Just a note, this is marked as Brood War, not SC2, on the front page.

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

So every game?

Maru will not win this tourney. I think the rapid format will be a problem for him.

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.
