Maru struggle a lot against Zerg players. I would say Maru did really really well getting 3 games from Reynor (who beat Rogue). Unfortunately he went from leading 3-2 to losing, and then proceed to get eliminated at Code S as well. Unfortunate.

not really, you just haven't seen games where Terran is winning. Search all the Clem vs Reynor, Clem vs Serral and Clem vs Rogue in 2021 and you will see Clem trash on all three of the best Zerg player in the world. Clem won 90% of his TvZ matches in 2021, which is completely nuts.

@@teddanville6996 Clem is realllly good vs Zerg for some reason. Somehow Maru owns Clem tho

[@adrianbundy3249]

@@JH-bb8in To be fair, Clem would have the most polish on that, as he has perhaps the best chance to train vs fellow european zergs who are the best in the world, to polish that zvt against.

[@TheTrueReiniat]

Whats the reason against going mass mines against baneling muta? Just throw a couple mines behind every CC and make sure to snipe the Overseer

[@adrianbundy3249]

It's a legit strategy that works on a lot of people. But with the micro behind someone like Reynor, you will want to be careful of those constant floods of lings being sent to trigger them early, and that overseer will probably not be as free a snipe unless fortune favors you. But for those who can't keep track of a hundred things with a large zerg horde, yes, mines do god damn miracles it seem. But this is strategy I think has greatest effect somewhere in the middle of the skill level tree, but it still viable at the top level, when you throw in a lot more things than just mine. I think I seen Maru use it quite a bit for a time in fact last year. It won him a bit - but even that didn't win every game against Ling Bane Muta, even from Maru. The style isn't in as much favor as it was though.

[@ZeroSensei]

Didn't remember why I kinda disliked this finals, now I remembered that it was because of the casters, maybe I'm crazy but I really don't like when the casters are biased to some of the players, in this finals there are over praising Reynor and for Maru they only remark the mistakes he made and when he did good stuff they said stuff like "This isnt gonna help him" or stuff like that

[@ekremaziaullah8213]

Watching these games I can say one thing for certain, the only way to win against a zerg is to have an absolutely perfect game from start to finish with a number of super efficient trades in between. Falter even a little bit and the zerg will win. Its always a zerg victory unless the other player does something highlight worthy

[@ThrillbertMusic]

[@emreboga]

I came here to watch the game played at the level I can't play it myself.

[@peterthepeter7523]

I wonder why in 4th game Reynor kept trying to kill BCs and thors with mutas, lings and banelings. He had no way to deal with BCs, zerg isn't allowed to kill them with anything but corruptors and maybe hydras with big advantage and spellcasters.

[@jamesn.5721]

He needed momentum on that map. Once the mech gains a position, you see how hard it is to break through. Muta ling bane was meant to try to control the map as much as possible. Transitioning into viper/corruptor would've been amazing against those mech positions but it takes forever to get to a decent count, and Maru was pretty much where he needed to be supply/upgrade wise to trade super efficiently before the units could come out. Plus, mech is insanely slow, so ling bane could've been used more efficiently for runby's and cutting reinforcements, although it is pretty trash on 2000 Atmos since the map has tons of ramps and narrow paths. A really decent map for mech.
