SC2 - Maru vs. Solar - IEM Katowice 2021 - Group A

[@exit2012]

That one lone ghost, on a suicide mission to call down a nuke to save humanity.He fucking did it!

[@portaadonai]

it was a small part of one planet, calm down

[@EUK007]

That Ghost should be given the "Congressional Medal of Honor" 😁

[@dreyjof6448]

Oh yeah....that was nova

[@ahndeux]

@@EUK007 They had to bury that Ghost face down ass up so that Solar can kiss it.

[@vannessw9638]

So empowering!

[@mortivoe]

I laughed so hard he says panic nuke never works :D best game ive seen in a while

[@sherniebuck4660]

Maru’s face after the nuke. Deadly.

[@bearholdensharkslux4791]

Mamba 🐍🐍

[@portaadonai]

WHAT FACE"? That guy was a serious cucumber 38:08

[@sherniebuck4660]

Exactly.

[@UnholyRenton]

I think I see a little smirk

[@topperharley7142]

Dude didn't even flinsh. 'Meh, whatever.' xD

[@wotwot6868]

GNOT - Greatest Nuke of All Time, this is the game that Starcraft devs thought when they added Nuke to the game. Forget about GOAT. (Although Maru clearly is the GOAT)

[@EUK007]

37:54 The scene that you've been waiting for..... Solar got totally REKT 😁😂🤣

[@andreyru9221]

The most satisfactory thing in SC2 is a good laded nuke! Nothing compares to it. No-thing!

[@topperharley7142]

Did that in a random 3v3. All armies fighting at a choke point, eradicated 3 full armies in one hit. Sadly i don't have the replay anymore. That feeling is unbeatable. :D

[@ahndeux]

38:04: "It takes a pretty huge mistake for a Zerg player to fall for this and get hit by that... He does land and get all the brood lords!!" Solar looks shocked and starts to cry. Maru just sits there and a small grin and smirk.. GAME OVAH! Who's your DADDY?

[@Jean-vr7vj]

Solar of course didnt deserve to go out like that having fought a fantastic game in which for sure he was meant to be the winner.... BUT......... I remember a game where Maru launched a what turned out to be a game ending nuke which landed on his own army. Mistakes do happen. As bad as i feel for poor Solar - that nuke was gloooorious!!

[@codymaclean1887]

I remember that. I guess this is karma in a way haha

[@NeutralGenericUser]

Yep, I agree. I remember that game too (also a fantastic game to watch, but highlights how Terrans have no answer to storm + Tempest). The game was Maru vs. Parting in one of the 2020 GSL seasons.

[@Jean-vr7vj]

@@NeutralGenericUser yeah mate, storm+tempest is so mean it looks plain unfair. But that being said, ive seen TY do a just masterful leapfrog with tanks and liberator mainly and with vikings for map control but that was extreme late game. TY had just about every unit involved in that slow push lol. Also that was in a tvt, not sure how this will fair in a tvp. And the micro involved in it was super high. Not everyone is TY lol

[@arenzale]

Do you happen to remember the video or who he was fighting?

[@Jean-vr7vj]

@@arenzale kzbin.info/www/bejne/mouwdnWgha6Dbck it happens at 1:02:00 but you should really watch the game from the beginning 21:30 in order to fully appreciate the catastrophe

[@CaptTelnet]

“You miss every shot you don’t take.” -MVP ghost Chad Bigcock at 37:57

[@edgehodl4832]

maru smirk at 38:45 is priceless

[@golgotai2938]

Poor Solar, I felt so bad for him. The guy plays the best ZvT you can play and then a nuke ends him. He really worked for it. Poor bloke.

[@sungoh78]

it did suck for solar but you have to give credit where it's due. the nuke was placed perfectly, camouflaged and everything

[@ivankrgovic8443]

never pity the zerg

[@IvanSchoemanDolvich]

its quite funny, Maru lost a game in the gsl where he nuked his own army accidently in a similar engagement, so its pretty awesome to see the affect of when things go right!

[@golgotai2938]

@@IvanSchoemanDolvich it was certainly spectacular, I just felt bad for Solar as a player :D

[@poiuyt975]

@@IvanSchoemanDolvich Yeah, I remember that one. It was against either Stats or Classic; also a super-late game. Maru nuked his whole army, then laughed and gg-ed out. :D

[@Qichar]

The nuke landed just as the broodlings overwhelmed that ghost. Epic.

[@NeutralGenericUser]

That was the best SC2 nuke I’ve ever seen!

[@PJmakesMusic]

Would've broke me too.

[@Tonoroku]

I don't know if you remember, but this is the exact same solar that maru's destroyed even when solar spotted his proxy's.

[@ballstein30]

Kaboom, baby!

[@jinderbreadman]

38:31 Maru trying to keep his cool. What a game from Solar though!

[@musashi2k8]

Panic nukes never works! Maru: Hold my beer! 🤣

[@LOfGamblingVIDS]

30 min of an epic game, and it finished with a nuke

[@EdgarTheOnion]

it really ended with a BANG hahaha

[@ikocheratcr]

Great nuke there, those are the one that you barely see, but when they happen, wow.

[@interdependencia1]

38:08 HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLYY S**********************T

[@SootiShow]

How about that overlord backing off the precise moment the ghost was supposed to die and removing vision

[@gkagara]

Personally I think dev should rework this nuke mechanics like closer to silo the faster it is to land, it doesn't make sense that nukes need 9 second to land anywhere on the map, near or far it is 9 second. It is supposedly superweapon lol.

[@gybob100]

that well placed red dot hidden in the flowers.. is all it take to win

[@hiddentruth1982]

that is the first time I've seen a nuke change a pro level game.

[@NeutralGenericUser]

Watch Maru vs. Parting in one of the 2020 GSL seasons. Maru accidentally nukes his entire army and quits lol

[@SomeGuy-nr9id]

That was the nuke of dreams.

[@NezD]

“I don’t know about those nukes. He’s going to wish he had made units instead. 40 mins into the game, nukes start to feel expensive… (2 nukes land)… welp the games over “

[@vvva15]

Just Started Haven't Watched the full clip yet. First Round. Classic Not Much Happens in the first minutes, Maru is just stretching the first 2min :P

[@neomagus4732]

Commentators! Hey he realised that nuke is gonna hurt but detection was move back at the moment of broodlord atack him and ghost didnt fall down.

[@rakashaagain]

Omg, the nuke!

[@ahndeux]

My condolences to Solar...

[@KENTOSI]

oh .... my .... g....... ok that was an EPIC game.

Scarlett once took a similar hit. She played without sound that game....

[@psyclone8614]

Every so often, a pro player has a Bronze League Hero moment...this was Solar's moment.

[@jamomoritz6763]

I an a maru fan, but it breaks me to see Solar this disgusted.

[@isprobablyjobhunting]

Why did Solar quit that second match so fast?

[@tigera6]

He had nothing to fight Maru army, Queen and Zerling will melt to Stimmed Marines with Medivac and Tank. Solar was over-droning and did not make have banelling in time.

[@Tone202]

lol I love his reaction.

[@ahndeux]

Solar looks like a broken kid on the second round. He already knew he got pwned.

What a game.

[@rivilcur4509]

38:08 OMG !!

[@spoodle8988]

English people say "No" so weird. Likw they say the full word first and then it turns into "owww" at the end. If you keep replaying those 10 seconds where he says "No" twice after the Brood lord Nuke wipe, the "No" sounds more and more rediculous lol. Appropriate "owww" sound at the end though because holy fuck, what a way to end that match.

Yes......A nuke will vaporize anything in a instant lol! What they need to do is take away the showing where a NUKE is coming from! Fix it in the next patch, it's only right for Terran players!! Of all legendary nfl football players, you had to quote that loser Moss! Smh!

[@whitewolfstudios4727]

This series is so difficult to watch, they need to do a better job of vetting the casters and not just hire random annoying casters. Jesus

[@paulsernine5302]

he did actual hit, nukes arent suppsed to be cancelled in this case?

@@paulsernine5302 I believe you can cancel a snipe by hitting the ghost, but for a nuke you have to full-on kill it
