One of my favorite ways to think about SC2 is to consider what a player's "superpower" is -- what he does better than anyone else. Here's a quick list of some superpowers I think players have, with the general rules being 1) the more specific, the better and 2) only give one player two or more superpowers if you absolutely have to.

Without further ado:

Maru: Multitasking, late-game
Serral: Scouting
Reynor: Creep-spread/counter-attacking
Clem: Reaper control
Byun: Control over drops with 2 or less medivacs
Cure: Control over drops with more than 2 medivacs
Rogue: Bo7 series planning
Gumiho: Mech play
Innovation: Timing pushes
Dark: Roach/Ravager control
herO: Gateway play

That's what I'm starting with, but there have to be so many more. What is it that makes MaxPax so darn good? Who has the best muta control out there right now? Et cetera, et cetera. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys have to say.

To be fair I'm not sure if late game is Maru's strongest point these days.
He's clearly very good at it but it's not what is defining his playstile nowadays.

Personally, ByuN has the best reaper control by far. Clem's superpower might be widow mine RE-usage, as he unburrows and reburrows so often, and often they get kills galore

Serral has like 3 or more superpowers if we go by the list of examples....

Scouting, Macro, Late-game, Caster control

Yeah, its a tragedy for me as a Maru fanboy to see how Maru playing so aggressive these days knowing he can take it to macro game and win it in lategame most of the time. Like I understand you cant just turtle every game, but he keep throwing 2-base all-in is painful to watch.
