Anyway TY TvZ is very sub-par so I will always call this Maru style and Maru switch. Its not about a player who started using it but who perfected it and is actually good at it  | ||

TY was going for those in the IEM qualifiers against soO but soO committed sudoku before it got there, and he also made attempts at it on stream vs Solar. So the idea existed in v1.0 of the playstyle already, Maru just executes it better (and more because he's all around better TvZ than TY so he gets there more). But hey, on the plus side, against Protoss players that aren't sOs TY is more solid than Maru | ||

Maru was the first one who had major success with it on a big stage so it's fair to say he "popularized" that style even if he didn't invent it. | ||

I don't see a reason to have 100 workers unless you're mining from 5 full bases or using them for something else. TY has lost games while having to many workers because his army was too small. Yeah, TY definitely has had too many in games in the past. But I think its very intentional now. It seems like it is a part of trying to mine out the map before the opponent, perhaps in a move towards less aggression. Tbh I don't think you would see it that much from several players if it was a mistake. | ||

TY crushed soO with it in IEM qualifiers and brought Dark to the brink in GSL weeks before Maru played the style for the first time in a notable match. If nothing else, with those games he popularized the idea and gave the thought of transitioning into ghosts from mech merit. | ||

You can make over 80 SCVs with this style, because you don't do timing pushes, so you don't need more army supply. And having more workers is always better if it doesn't affect your fighting ability. | ||
