He said none of the players from group D were to worry about except Classic. No way would he prefer to play TY when he's spent the last two years talking about how he never wants to play him | ||

Zest isn't beating Dark or TY, or Rogue for that matter. If he makes ro4 it's down to Rogue defeating himself. | ||

I won't argue against that, but I'm pretty sure the protoss option is better then the Zergs option. Is there any protoss scarier to Maru then any GSL zerg?

Even tastosis have turned late game into a satire during their casts. | ||

Rogue is 10-9 since April 6th in ZvT and a few of those were against players who are nobodies at the moment. If you extend it beyond players in the ro8, I imagine sOs is #1 on the list of players Maru doesn't want to play ever. | ||

Terran just got buffed to high heaven in TvP I simply cannot see Maru losing to Trap in a Code S. | ||

Every interview Maru always picks TY to be the player he wants to avoid. Anyone remember that interview video AfreecaTV made where Maru said he even "hated" TY? It was from a collage of clips of Maru being asked over the years who he didn't want to see and Maru kept saying things like "I don't want to see TY at all", "I hate this guy" etc. I think it was during GSL Season 3 last year. Laughed so hard. As much of a monster as TY is, his best chance of winning a GSL is arguably landing another TvT finals against Maru. | ||

If he beat Dark Rogue would be a lot less scary. Also Rogue is 0-10 in Ro8 matches of Korean league tournaments so maybe don't put your money on anything until after the Ro8 I mean honestly would you be the guy who lets Rogue into the Ro4, knowing not even Curious and Neeb lost to him? | ||

Sucks the tension out of it for me, my cynical sick brain can only view these games under a “just waiting to lose to Maru,” lens. Oh GOMTvT when will your scars heal. | ||

Yes, it was kinda implied that all that was based on Rogue not Rogue'ing it I'm pretty sure Rogue would take out Dark if he gets his shit together for Code S. | ||

So he just has to dodge the best terran player, the two best protoss players, and the best zerg players to win this season. I can agree with that | ||

Maru beat Trap so easily there that Tasteless remarked "this is like someone who is just much higher level in an RPG" | ||
