2019 Global StarCraft II League - Code S Season 2

AfreecaTV's promise of a "Renaissance" was fulfilled on opening night of Code S Season 2 as 4-time consecutive champion Maru suffered shock elimination from the round of 32. For the first time since Season 3 in 2017, Code S is guaranteed to crown a champion other than Maru.

The reigning king of Code S was dethroned by the combined efforts of Patience and INnoVation, who defeated Maru in the winners' match and decider match respectively.


+ Show Spoiler [View Matches] +

For Patience, it might have been the sweetest revenge—Maru had picked Patience in two prior round of 16 group selections, labeling him a weak opponent in front of his peers. In the winners' match, Maru was made to fear and respect Patience's all-ins, if not necessarily Patience himself. INnoVation then finished Maru off in the group decider match, winning a thrilling TvT series worthy of a much higher round.

Code S will continue with Group B of the RO32 (GuMiho, Trust, Impact, Zest) on Tuesday, Apr 30 9:30am GMT (GMT+00:00).

while i'm happy for Patience, i need to say the way he bulldozed through those terrans with (mostly) mass gateway units was disgusting.

When they called this season Renaissance, they meant that adept all-ins are reborn.

Dark age of the Church of Maru is over, the arts of enlightened Protoss painters will flourish.

Maru and Inno should have this easily


There's one player I will never count out for an upset, and it's Patience. Calling it now, he advances in first and then Maru loses to Inno in the decider.

Happy birthday!

I had a feeling Maru might drop out of this one to be honest. Patience is a lot like sOs to me in the sense that sometimes he will just show up and bring you a loss. Innovation of course is a TvT monster as well.

Also calling a Protoss nerf before the Ro16. It's pretty clear that the upgrade nerf had little to no effect. Who would've thought?

As long as Maru is winning the balance team seems reluctant to step in, but they did take a hand the last time he bombed out early (IEM). Especially now with this coming after the Super Tournament making history, and not in a good way.

Also they've been silent for well over a month, so I'd expect another community update regardless.

he had really well prepared builds and the terrans played kinda sloppy.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Yes it's pointing to GSL Season 1 unfortunately. I will alert the moderators.

Doubt, they will IMO wait until RO8 and then it will be way too late.

Edit> Also considering the strongest foreigners are 3 Z, 1 T and 1 P while the strongest Zergs in Korea are soO(ZvZ only), Dark(RO4 only) and Rogue(slumping currently) I wonder how they gonna solve the Zerg state which will look even worse than Terran...
hmm, writing this I can see 1 T 1 Z 6 P in RO8, please group selection do it so this doesn't happen.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I'm glad that INno was able to take out Maru, game 3 was especially sick. Even though Patience advanced first, I feel like those adept all-ins are feeling a little on the stronger side of the Protoss build spectrum
Mine gas, build tanks.
