tbh game 2 is the best performance for both sides i have ever seen. While people like Clem and Innovation surely keep up to this micro or they even bring more fancy fights, but imho even they would struggle to bring such instant counter compositions on any angle of map. Serral and Maru are just different tier from anyone.

@yawgmoth65683 жыл бұрын
Epic game 5, that was a classic. Maru died at like 7 minutes, then Serral died at like 20 mins, then Maru died again at like 27 minutes, then Maru won. Tastosis recently called Rogue the greatest ever, some call Serral the greatest ever, some still say MVP, but for me no one has ever been better than Maru in peak form. That's probably why he swept an entire season of GSLs once. Sad he's had a couple finals losses recently, one more GSL win would've probably solidified it. We'll see if he gets another before all is said and done.
@Owlr4ider2 жыл бұрын
The key statement is 'in key form'. Maru has struggled to reach and maintain his key form recently which is why he dropped out of most goat discussions lately. Rogue is also rather inconsistent but when he's on he's fully on. Maru is on occasionally but than a bit later he falls just short yet again. He still has his brilliant moments but his inconsistency even during the same tournament is what's killing him. With Rogue you know that when he's in form he's the most likely candidate to win said tournament and when not in form he's a round of 16 player at best. Maru is always a round of 16/8 player even when not in good form but even at top form is struggling to close down tournaments, a lot of those were against Rogue btw. Serral on the other hand is incredibly consistent, even his lows are still incredibly high. With that said I tend to agree that both Maru and Rogue at absolute top form are probably slightly better than Serral but if they're just slightly off, which is quite common for them, than Serral eats them for breakfast.

Serral won more tournaments in a much shorter period of time and never had the down times Maru had. Hence Serral is the more consistent player.

Ye well played by Maru and a deserved win. I think the game is pretty balanced at the moment. As a Zerg player, all I would fix is the energy cost of snipes. The fact that Ghosts can stealth and snipe whole armies while on half energy doesnt feel right. Even more than Protoss with templars, Terrans lategame is completly centered around Ghosts. That said, Maru played the strengh of his race perfectly and he really deserved to win. Almost perfect and his defensive base layout gave me anxiety. I cant think of a way how Zerg can brake this effectivly without their opponents making mistakes.
@real_MacrocosM3 жыл бұрын
A ghost CAN'T snipe 'whole armies while on half energy' Not even 15-20 ghosts can. Most high gas units take 2 snipes to kill so 20 Ghosts can kill 15-20ish units every 40 seconds or so. That's hardly an "entire army" and not even remotely 'OP'. Also, having 15 ghosts ipso facto means Maru doesn't have other units in their place. And Ghosts are actually fragile, move ahead of the army if not babysat cos they walk faster than most of the terran army and are hard to shift control: Hold fire/cloak/decloak/snipe/emp. Very susceptible to fungals and Broods and Overseers.
