That said, prep + patch should do the deal. | ||

Since his breakout in 2013 he's gone 28-5 (85%) in GSL groups. Even before he was winning consecutive titles he was almost always making playoffs (I believe he has the most ro8+ro4 finishes of any player?). People only think this because of the eye test. He straight up plays worse than in the playoffs. But then again recently he's always had easy groups and not needed to play to his own standard. | ||

So people will remember he struggled against the likes of Keen, Reynor, Impact, Super, etc. but more often than not he still qualifies which is what matters most. That's the funny thing, Maru qualifies for so many RO8s even when T struggle yet people remember him not being able to ace the groups like he was acing the play offs  | ||

I'm excited to see what he does with the stim and EMP buffs specifically as far as new builds/timings go. If Maru is in the mood, look out group of death! totally agree, lategame terran and microing stim bio are both huge strengths for maru and if the patch benefits anyone i imagine it will benefit him a lot | ||

I let myself be surprised but I Still think it's not that big of a deal. Until he's at the lategame with the EMP, but he has to get there first  | ||

I think we will see 4 games from Maru, each of them six minutes long and each of them depressingly crushingly one sided. I don't know why, but I didn't think specifically about Maru proxying with new stim timings. If sOs helped him sort that shit out, it could be a total stomp. | ||

I predict  Maru and  Rogue.Well the Rogue prediction is good, the Stats prediction is almost exact (he didn't play awfully bad but he got 4-0ed still). Hopefully Maru beats Solar in the rematch curse | ||
