neeb was never able to beat maru until recently because he'd always play greedy af
He played pretty damn greedy against Maru at IEM still. Game 1 he went up to three bases of three gateways while getting blink, and game 2 he even took a fourth base while Maru was doing two base allin aggression.
well, neeb lost game 1 lol
and in game 2, maru got played pretty hard by neeb
maru only pushed with 1 tank thinking neeb was going for chargelots, and decided to split his all in by sending a drop to the main. neeb anticipated the drop and had a colossus army waiting for the drop. neeb lost almost nothing
And that changes the point how? The point being that Neeb still played greedy.
completely neutralizing an all-in and expanding is not playing greedy
it's playing smart
Taking a fourth while holding an allin is pretty fucking greedy. Just because he won doesn't mean he didn't play greedy.
Neeb is a macro player and Maru is a micro player, and it's PvT
it's not greedy at all imo
i used to main protoss and i definitely wouldve done the same since at that point protoss army is still garbage at breaking terran
If Dark had been able to put an evo where the red square is (prevented by the debris), it's a full wall until Serral kills said evo, which he couldn't have done because he didn't have any banes left (and the evo chamber at the very bottom didn't die, and I believe (not sure) Dark would get another wall if an evo were placed in the blue square). It wasn't a guaranteed hold (because Dark lost the roach warren), but Serral wouldn't have gotten in that early which obviously gives Dark a better chance to hold.

Beating an all in and then getting super greedy is risky if you aren't going to be able to handle a follow up appropriately
Yeah happens to all of us. Stretching a lead by being unnecessarily greedy when all you need to do is play safe and losing the game is just unfortunate
Thought long and hard about Serral vs Dark, and I think 3-1 is just not gonna happen. I think it's gonna be super nail-biting, same as Neeb vs Maru, good day for SC2 *fingers crossed*
I dont understand why Koreans never learn... Serral is always doing this its his signature play to send burrowed roaches left and right. Just get spores in the pathways for fuck sake and split your army better and you are fine. Well, clearly Dark is a level below Serral and cant keep up with the multitasking

Interesting, it would probably had a better chance of making the game more even! Most people kill it when they had the chance and I guess Dark will start doing that now!

I mean.. you're basically saying just play better. It's generally easier to be the roach burrow harraser than defender. Dark was extremely behind regardless, the harassment just felt like icing on the win.
