I think it's a bit disingenuous to say clem would blush at this lvl of multitask. Lotv certainly upped the lvl of mechanical play, especially for protoss. Though both zerg and protoss macro mechanics became child's play.
But it's certainly the harder era, and you should measure this by how much are players actually improving from month tp month. It's impossible to keep up with championships in the way that maru did in an era where everyone is improving so much, that there almost isn't time for sleep. Whereas now I think the level of play is actually dropping.
I loved those round hots maps at this time, specifically terraform.
Wrote all that and didn't read the paragraph youre complaining about. He said relative speed to his competitors, even if Clem is faster overall if he's only 25% faster than his peers and maru was 40% faster than his peers maru's relative speed is faster.
Personally, I do feel like it's a bit of hyperbole on Miz's end to praise a player/era he really liked. Ironically, "relative" itself is a pretty relative term here. Even if I think Clem is mechanically gapping his peers harder than ByuL in TvZ/ZvT if you compare the #1 player to the #5 player, I could also see some kind of argument for ByuL being relatively better when you consider the deeper pool of players.
