but saying that Maru has a SLIGHT advantage vs Scarlett....give me a break. Maru is currently the reigning KR champion and you are going to tell me hes going to lose to a foreigner? Aligulac is 52-48 on Maru vs Scarlett, for what it's worth. According to Aligulac, her odds look better against Maru's TvZ than they do against MMA's TvZ.
They play on different regions. Aligulac doesn't handle that well.
For example, check this out
(1835) LucifroN 0-0 Maru (1876)
---------------------------------------------
23.22% 2-0 0-2 26.85%
24.06% 2-1 1-2 25.87%
---------------------------------------------
47.27% 52.73%
Median outcome: LucifroN 1-2 Maru
Estimated by Aligulac. Modify.

Go Scarlett! Love from Delaware!

I'm actually going to go with MMA and Scarlett, MMA has been looking really good lately and I think that the fact he doesn't play in Korea as much benefits him vs. Maru.
Either way, I'm beginning to get extremely psyched by the upcoming finals!

i wouldn't worry about aligulac too much for maru, pretty sure he had damn low chances of beating all his bracket opponents in OSL

Good background info and hype on Maru! I needed something to read today while waiting around and this is great, thank you!

GO GO SCARLETT I BELIEVE!!!!!

(Dammit, I should've bought some Prime swag before the store got stomped down to just the latest hoodie. Now I can only hope opterown grows tired of his and decides to ebay.) Speaking of that paragon of LR legend, I believe that Maru will get out of this group. I believe he will, however, do it in second place, because Scarlett knows how to destroy terrans.
Yeah this one http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7237/6913830204_bd47e358df_c.jpg
I wanted to get one around the time of the MLG Winter Arena, but it was sold out. I'd always check up on it once a week, but no luck.

I think Maru has the edge on Scarlett if he cheeses and isn't picked up at the first possible opportunity.
If it goes beyond that and Scarlett defends the first push, Maru hasn't been stomping quite in TvZ as hard as people seem to be estimating. He lost to soO and dropped a game to Symbol, so Scarlett has a chance if it comes to that match.
Also, people looking at Scarlett's ZvT or MMA's TvZ in that matchup need to remember they're teammates and know each other's style incredibly well. It makes the match between them difficult to call in ways predicting any other match in those matchups isn't. It'll probably come down to if MMA makes a mistake, which he sometimes does. The balance between the two is very well put by Stuchiu in that whoever wins the first round is not necessarily likely to win the second if there is one.
aLive just isn't up to the standard required here. There are players he might have fared better against in other groups, but he's had a relatively easy run through WCS America.
Maru > Alive
MMA > Scarlett
Maru > MMA
Scarlett > Alive
Scarlett > MMA
seems pretty right with the possibility of either Scarlett or MMA playing Maru and the one who plays aLive making it out of the group.

if Maru meets Polt in the season finals and beats him
will Maru be the one TRUE OptimusPrime?

This group will have my on the edge of my seat, Scarlett should be able to make it but the terrans are so damn good too.

He'll be a Deceptacon for killing Optimus!

I think Maru will crash and burn in this. MMA + Scarlett advance.
