thank you for posting on youtube!

Thanks voor de cast

Great Games! Nice to see Terrans adapting to the sharking infestors.

[@laureloneiros1500]

Finally remembering that they have infinite detection and units that auto-prioritize infestors must be very hard for Terran players

[@bobbobby8250]

@@laureloneiros1500 JUST SO YOU KNOW, scans aren't infinite since they require energy and only last a few seconds. 🧐 It is difficult, to always be worried about revealing a mobile invisible unit that can chain AOE slow/damage an army during a macro game.

GOAT MARU

[@marcelbenner993]

About this GOAT debate: - There is a player who achieved the Triple Crown twice, which only 2 other players achieved. - There is a player who has the highest win rate vs Koreans in 5 years out of 13 StarCraft2 years (2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023). - There is a player who won the world championship twice (most wins among two others) - There is a player who holds the longest winning streak against at least Top 100 players (47 consecutive wins) - There is a player who holds the longest winning streak against top Koreans (19 consecutive wins; achieved 2 times) - There is a player who achieved an over 90% match win rate in a year (2023) overall - which no one else ever achieved - There is a player who achieved an over 73% (73,24%) game win rate in a year (2023) vs Koreans - which no one else ever achieved - There is a player who achieved an over 85% (!!!!) match win rate in three years (2018, 2020, 2023) vs Koreans. The next best other player being Maru with 78% in 2023 and herO with 74% in 2017. - There is a player who has by far the most Premier Tournaments wins with Korean Participation (18) and overall (23) - There is a player who has NO negative win rate vs ANY pro player since his first Premier Tournament win in 2015 which he played on a regular basis (at least 10 games) - which no one else ever achieved Here are these player’s records against these top Koreans (wins:Korean player wins: draws): vs Maru: 13:4:2 vs Dark: 8:5:1 vs GuMiho: 10:4:0 vs Solar: 16:7:1 vs Cure: 17:3:0 vs ByuN: 12:5:0 vs Classic: 8:2:0 vs Bunny: 9:2:0 vs stats: 9:4:0 vs soO: 8:4:0 vs Innovation: 16:8:0 vs Rogue: 8:7:0 vs Trap: 14:3:0 vs Zest: 10:5:0 That player has been so dominant since his rise to the top in 2018 in Seoul that he won more tournaments - with participation of the best Koreans in the world - in 6 years of playing StarCraft 2 than all players who have been present among the top players for much longer. That player is Serral. I have no idea how anyone can deny that Serral is the GOAT of StarCraft 2. Not one player comes even close to such a dominance over such a long period of time while at the same time amassing more important trophies in less time than anyone else. Serral's win rate vs his weakest matchup (Zerg) is higher than most pro's overall win rates. To anyone arguing flash = SC2 GOAT: Flash never had win rates that even come close to Serral's and had lower win rates than Innovation at time. He also was only present in SC2 for around 2 years. He definitely is the SC GOAT though. To anyone arguing Innovation/Maru: These two both failed to show up on the really big stages. Maru only ever got a 2nd place at Worlds with his 2023 defeat against Oliveira.. He didn’t do what sOs, ROgue or Serral did: Go to a big stage, where the best of the world compete and win. The same is true for Innovation. Both Maru and him falter when competition from outside of Korea is present/when the big stage calls. Also both have lower win rates vs the top players and less achievements. To anyone arguing sOs: sOs, who is a 2 time world champion, only has 5 premier tournament wins. If you consider Rogue and Serral, who also are in the debate, sOs falls short. The same holds true as for Innovation and Maru. Less achievements, less dominance. Rogue has won 11 premier tournaments from 2017 to 2022. He, as well as Serral, won 2 Worlds. Now let’s bring Serral into the equation. Out of his 23 premier tournament wins which span from 2018 to 2023, 18 are with Korean participation, Serral won 2 World Championships. Him and Rogue in my opinion are the only two players who are consistent and showed up when the best of the world are present. They have achieved similar high end feats. BUT: Serral has way more Premier Tournament wins (with Korean participation and yet even more without) and was more dominant in his win rates and records versus other Korean players. To people arguing that Serral never won a GSL. So what? He played the best of the best from GSL and defeated them time and again (see record vs these players and overall win rate vs Koreans above). Does anyone seriously believe Serral would not have won the GSL if he was born Korean? And at the same taking Premier titles away from players who now claim them? If anything, Serral's dominance would have been EVEN MORE apparent. Plus Serral even went to Korea twice and both times won the GSL vs Worlds where the best of the GSL participated. That argument sounds a little bit like this: Real Madrid (Serral) who defeated all Premier League teams (Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool etc.) in the Champions League (GSL vs World, World Championship, etc.) is not better than Liverpool because it never played in the Premier League. The argument is absurd. The Premier League (Korea) sends its best teams (Maru, Dark, Rogue) to the Champions League (GSL vs World, World Championship, etc.) and these best teams get beaten by Madrid (Serral). No one in their right mind would argue that Madrid isn’t the best team in the world, simply because it didn't play versus Wolverhampton. Anyways, these are my thoughts. Share stats, if you disagree.

SPOILER ALERT! … … Finally a Maru win against Serral.. Being watching SC2 since 2020, it was starting to feel like there was a physical and metaphysical impossibility to Maru winning a set against Serral.

[@sage4670]

He beat serral in 2022 in the King of Battles tournament. They face each other only a couple of times per year it seems E: it actually was in 2021 when that King of Battles tournament happened. He also beat him that same year at Asus Rog

I hope Serral goes on a winning streak like in MC6 after his first loss.

[@rat2244]

he plays the easiest race, of course he will

[@AndrewBryanSapigaotarsonis]

Maru ain't washed. He is a person. I'm suspecting he was losing on purpose (or experimenting) when he offers his SCVs as body blockers. Most of his losses, he played lazy.

[@real_MacrocosM]

LoL. Pretending that Maru only builds ghosts, and ghosts alone, that tired copy pasta is pure copium. Maru was operating a fleet of liberators and Vacs and an army portion of marines and marauders right till the end. It's not like he had 20+ ghosts. 😂 Maru won because he did Maru things.

infinite energy medivac ? check again the last minutes of both 2 games . all medivacs energy were empty . And hydra got free killed vs lib so many times . I can also say that zerg has lurker . Just shift click 1 lurker and u can easily deny entire base mining . Does it sound nice to you ?
