After seeing his micro, decisionmaking and bravado against Super, I'm calling it: Maru is the best Terran in the world, flat out. Sorry Bogus. Sorry TaeJa. Now I just need Squirtle and HerO to come through against KT.
Although Maru has a strong case I'm not totally convinced yet. TY has been playing pretty fucking well lately.
If you're talking best Terran in Proleague so far I agree TY has as good a claim as Maru. But TY has no success in individual leagues in SC2 at all, while Maru has an OSL championship, Blizzcon Top 4, etc... To me for best Terran in the world the conversation is between Maru, INnoVation, TaeJa and Bomber. Flash, Polt, MMA, etc I think are not QUITE on the same level yet, or at least haven't proven that quite yet.

Maru is literally carrying my team right now, none of my other players are above 10 points yet >_<
Same situation. But I've got soulkey, and he ain't above 10 either. So no big difference for you there anyhow Maru tho, wrecking proleague.

Well, since RorO is doing quite well this round, enough people may put him in their main teams next round, thereby making RorO an excellent pick for the anti-team.

I would have gone for Flash if I knew Soulkey would be played on the 4th map and would lose this much.
Edit: That's despite being in top 40 based on Main Team rankings.

I traded Soulkey for Hydra before last week, as I thought he would get 2 good wins for me...
My strategy this year was to just pick quickly without any research and put Roro on my anti-team. Strangely didn't work out that well. I have learning troubles.
I learnt the hard way not to anti Flash cause he doesn't do too well in individual leagues. Not a mistake I'm going to make twice. Next round should hopefully go better, PL has helped my knowledge of the KR scene greatly.
At least my Fantasy for Bravo trade seems to have paid off this week. As for my next trade, if I can still ditch RorO I might do it but sOs is going if I can get a decent trade for him, it hurts to do so but he's not playing like he should be
