I would go as far to say as Maru maybe be mechanically and strategically the best SC2 player that's ever played, even above the mighty Serral. Maru: mechanically highest level of play at his peak Rogue: best bo5/bo7 strategist and most clutch player Serral: highest baseline level / most consistent player
Even though Serral dropped out early, i would agree with this.

There's really no argument for TIME as best foreign Terran in 2020: even only looking at international events, Clem outperformed him in every single one of them (except summer global where they were tied).
But props to TIME for his recent results, for sure. He did great here, and his performances in other recent tournaments, like WTL, are also fantastic!

OK, so I checked aligulac for the matches of TIME v Serral. 2018 - none. So, uh, what the hell you writing about? 2019 - Blizzcon, RO16, 3:0 for Serral
Which Blizzcon and what peak are you talking about? oO Superconfused person here.
Edit> Checked for Blizzcon or Kato matches only. But honestly, they play each other since 2019...

He was confused. It was about 2 months before Blizzcon at Asus ROG 2019 that Time took Serral to match point. He really had him dead but managed to throw his lead.

He should have won like 3 at this point. So I wouldn't count on it. He's been 1 map away from making the Katowice finals 8 times. Not just that, all his losses in the Ro4 are to eventual champion Rogue and Reynor, who moved to the Final and wipe the floor against their Protoss opponents. Maru also got match points (2-1 or 2-0) in all of those series and he just couldnt close it.
He also lost in a semi-final against Jaedong at Blizzcon 2013. I can't quite recal what happened next, but JD is such a legend, so intense, so smart, so fast, so popular, the greatest programmer OF ALL TIME, there's no way he didn't win. So that's one more occurence.
