He did at IEM. Maru is shakier than before, it can happen.
Didn't Maru 3-0 Elazer yesterday? I know it's a different matchup but how is sweeping Elazer showing shaky performance? Unless Elazer just straight up played garbage

Say what?
I gotta say, Mutas barely ever do enough damage against Serral. It feels like he wins almost all matches where his opponents go for them. I'd say he's the weakest at ling baneling wars, he tends to make mistakes here which is only natural.

I don't think he looked like the Maru of old against Elazer. He won but not as convincingly as last year's WeSG for example.

I wouldn't call it terrible, but I guess being top 4 in the world at a matchup doesn't do it for MarianoSC2, the renowned sc2 analyst and zerg vs zerg mirror expert
He might be top 4 (4th, and I am really not sure about that, wouldnt bet on him even against guys like Reynor or Lambo), but there is such a huge skill difference between 3rd and 4th that yes, it does not do it for me. He is just bad, slow, and cant multitask in the matchup.
I can't see where you've gotten this opinion from, Dark has historically had amazing ZvZ , it is worldclass. There is not a "huge" skill difference between 4th and 3th best ZvZ player in the world.
Either way, you're saying 4th best is vastly inferior to 3th best but that Dark as 4th best is "barely" (?) favored against 15th (or similar) best in the world Lambo?

He's looking like the Maru of old, just the 2016 one

Different player level(Neeb is better), different MU and different day. All in all until we see what kind of Maru is there we can't say anything for sure.

Welcome back Ej!
Yea, Dark's ZvZ is embarassing, he's worse than Serral, soO and Rogue at the matchup...
Serral was sick one week ago, we don't know if he still is; his form is decent for his standard, game 2 was very good. Still this was probably the best chanche for Dark to beat him but apparently Serral's multitasking is hard for him to face.

To be fair Maru was good in 2016, that was just a shit year for most because of the limited opportunities. Late 2017 Maru was weak though.

He wasn't that bad in late 2017 just inconsistant. At IEM shanghai he looked like one of the best players in the world for the first half of his group (smashing ByuN and going even with INno in TvT) then he just didn't. And in GSL he looked sick against Solar but both him and Solar lost their matches against much lesser players.

Against protoss, he seems shaky, way more than against zerg at least. His embarassing losses came from pvt lately. (And his tvt made him not invulnerable but that's nothing new)

I dont really care if he is the 4th best or 10th best. (it was EJ who said he was 4th I just said he might be). Anyway there are 3 players who are clearly miles above everyone else. Compared to them, the rest look bad.
Maru vs Neeb is impossible to predict; Neeb did not look super impressive in PvT and they have to play a bo5.
I'd give the advantage to Maru but it's up to which version of himself is going to show up today; he was sharp yesterday against a quite bad Elazer but Maru has been very mortal lately.
Scarlett is doing very well at the moment; looking at her last encounter against soO, however, I wouldn't say she should be scarier than Dark for Serral.
