[2020 GSL S3] Ro.16 Group C Match5 Maru vs ByuN

[@robology1388]

Artosis was spot on when talking about Byun's style and approach to this game. His style may work on 99.9% of players. But Maru's in a league of his own.

[@lesker000]

yesterday byun won

[@SirLanceMan]

maru is king turtle. byun does everything

[@tigera6]

@@SirLanceMan Maru has better macro, better army composition, better positioning. Byun micro better and thats about it.

[@SirLanceMan]

@@tigera6 I agree with you that maru has those things over byun, but you don't think it takes more skill, mental endurance to be able to macro, micro and be aggressive, while constantly attacking the entire game? It's easy to macro and have perfect army composition when you turtle, over being aggressive

[@tigera6]

@@SirLanceMan TvT actually is going more defensive in the current META. There are so much things you can do running Marines around if you dont have the superior army and Sky control. Unless its in the first 3-4 minutes of the game, TvT favors players that can set up solid defense and then counter attack with a strong push. And it take good planning with strategy to pull that off as well, not just easy to "turtle" if you dont know how to do it.

[@longle956]

Byun did really well for coming back from military service

[@coling3398]

The fact that he even was in this tournament is impressive

[@TeemoPwnstar]

Tasteless: "they turn to me - I'll play." :D :D :D i love these guys casting so much

[@SomeGuy-nr9id]

Maru did well this was almost like a mirror match to him, in many ways byunn plays like him and he really mixed it up to a wider more versatile unit composition.

[@danconser6709]

Such great respect at the end from both Maru & Byun. They both acknowledge a great series of games :-)

[@morgansoren886]

his wrist :(

[@tanpham7411]

Artosis’s dad jokes are on point

[@beatssports]

even e-sport pros suffer from match injuries

[@kristoradion]

These 2 should do an archon mode, where byun just need to control marines and medivacs, while maru the tech armies. Byun is very good when controlling marines

[@zeeshan992]

They did it

[@BabyHuey173]

A big thing I noticed in game one is that Byun consistently puts his tanks in the front and Maru always had his behind his Marines

[@totalprocall6894]

Man maru looking like 2018 again...now zerg has been sorted. He even managed partin and even almost did stats despite protoss being blizzards chosen race right now.

[@detour7102]

"despite protoss being blizzards broken race right now." That is a complete joke, presuming that your serious, the last time a protoss won a big tournament was ASUS ROG which was back in 2019 around June I think. That's the last time protoss has won a big tournament, over a year. I dont understand why you think protoss is broken when it's been forever that they won a tournament

[@marshallrauh]

So glad I'm just watching this now

[@olinbe]

42:46, his hand!!!

[@ArcChristelle]

Why doesn't Maru use disruptors against Colossi?

[@spacejaga]

Maybe because he has to use lurkers?

[@motss5651]

They will just fly away.

[@reismw]

Cheering so much for Byun those games...

[@ThomasPosen]

Awesome games from this group!

[@marshallrauh]

thanks for not spoiling in group D

[@Stickyrolls123]

I do see one advantage to Byun's style here. Early and mid game he has map control. He may not be trading efficiently but he's more mobile so Maru has to play slow until he reaches critical mass. I think if byun does just enough to keep Maru on the defensive and doesn't keep throwing away units it could be good. Use that map control to expand like crazy. I'm talking double and triple expand, Maru has already shown he's not willing to fight offensively in the mid game. So you are either forcing him to fight before he's ready or you get way ahead in economy. You can then use that economic advantage to do what zerg does and trade inefficiently but still whittle down your opponent with superior economy, or to catch up on the ravens+vikings. Since your money is gonna be better you could spend the access on more production buildings to offset the advantage that Maru has built his high tech units first. This way when you do fight and (hopefully) trade, you can replenish yours faster and have the upper hand.

[@zottffss]

42:40 It was at that moment I knew, it was over…

[@MrMB5000]

Why do vikings have to stop to shoot?? I really hate that

[@chlivesincanada]

Byun earns my respect. 👍

[@Waste.edskateboards]

4:11...??? The caster selected the 2nd reaper and moved it??? These games are all fake???

[@lamjianhua2884]

Cue the tears!!

[@Str4vv]

Wait, he doesn´t wear pants? :D

[@noelshen1580]

Alot of casters and presenters, news, sports, ect wear shorts or sweats to stay comfortable, since you only see their top half.

[@ethannguyen7562]

Byun needs to study new Unit Composition. viking & raven are must have these day in TvT. Good execution can’t save you in macro games.

[@parkerxgps]

the quality of these games is soo high.

[@W_1_Z_A_R_D1_O]

Byun сражался как настоящий самурай

[@pokerchannel6991]

omg the hand.

[@lordlopikong6940]

Byuns lack of air superiority was a major point why he lost. Amazing game though.

[@juztina7346]

My godd byun got such good genes

[@Paul-gu4gw]

tnx

[@sshum00]

Definitely get a wrist massager as well. There's one on amazon that's really nice.

[@mangomariel]

25:00 you guys are so goofy lol. And tasteless is so cute

[@danconser6709]

Byun does so much with so little!

[@AlexanderEddy]

I love watching Maru play, but I couldn't help but feel bad for Byun. Playing against Maru has to be so incredibly taxing and discouraging.

[@AlexanderEddy]

@Split Dimension Oh yeah, definitely not Maru's fault, I just meant that Maru is such a dominating player that even someone as good as Byun gets smacked down so hard by him

[@werxx7]

WTF with his hand?

[@Joker-pm4kf]

Byun looks like a evil anime character

[@juztina7346]

Why? He look very cute and handsome

[@Joker-pm4kf]

juztin a I didn’t say a ugly character 😂

[@김근욱-z5v]

처음에 변! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[@dc1-q8k]

Yeet

[@emmanuelgumapac8186]

i hope byun gets median nerve release surgery or may be steroid injections

[@neatnights]

good recommendation internet doctor

[@damiann4734]

Byun should have gone with marines and cyclones.

[@lordlopikong6940]

Tanks would've murdered the cyclones. Maru had air superiority that led to his Victory.

[@RLTrujillo]

Why are these guys so bad at pronouncing names of units? "Marooders?" LOLOL

[@jamesadamsmusic9087]

Richard Trujillo it’s Maru-ders

[@Khashimova_wellness]

yeah guys that is what i wanted to hear about when watching SC2 game about commentor's child times, about his wife level of commenting is bronze - very sorry it is official

[@yonker1337]

Possibly the 2 most popular casters in the Starcraft 2 scene. Thank god it's not as boring as you'd like it to be.

[@coling3398]

@@yonker1337 2 most overrated and annoying announcers in the game. If you're under 16 then you probably like them lol

[@Khashimova_wellness]

@@yonker1337 I usually watch russian commentators, I know that at start of the game there is nothing to comment. Alex007 at start time tells about players biography, styles, or the new game metas, but not about his wife or childhood)

[@SirPrizeMF]

@@Khashimova_wellness to each their own. I like these two guys. They're knowledgeable about the game and fill the dead space with some good banter. I have no objections.

[@drewm.3130]

Some of the worst commentary I have ever witnessed. 20 seconds later , I have now muted the vid.

[@someonewhoisnotretarded3708]

Do you even know who the commentators are?

[@brendenfraser81]

People like you don't deserve to have access to the internet.

[@spacejaga]

Uncultured swine!

[@mangomariel]

You mean some of the best? They are not Incontrol (rip) level of fun, but they are both goofy fun and analytical in a very balanced way.

[@drewm.3130]

This game used to be cool. Now its almost become like the MTG community.

[@chadamitecheckoutredpillpl2641]

why would you have 3 "hot 6" energy drinks next to eachother in the middle. kind of satanic
