[@Rudy-du2mt]

I'll be going too! ;)

[@doneins]

Well deserved!

[@joezanette8877]

Surprised they didn't mention that TY only had Air level 1 upgrade the entire game. Game changer the longer the game went

[@csie123]

3:50 kill himself army lol

[@jpVari]

Game 7 of their series where maru won his third gsl... Where it ends with one clutch tank shot, is less of a great game but is the moment I think if between these two. But thanks for providing a grander game! I love this series!

[@SC2HL]

I believe I know the game you're talking about, but this is in reference to the 2018 GSL finals between Maru & TY right? This is the 2020 one!

[@jpVari]

@@SC2HL absolutely yes! The one I mentioned is from marus win streak.

[@Pjanoo1]

I'm really unwell right now and this stuff gets me through the day, thank you.

[@SC2HL]

Things will get better!

[@lhfirex]

I think I watched some of this, on this channel, when it happened back in 2020! Still a great reminder of how fun it is to watch the pros play SC2.

[@luckypozzo3939]

It makes my day when these come up! If you take suggestions for them, then I would nominate 2013 WCS Season 2 Finals Group C - Innovation vs Taeja game 3 on Newkirk Precinct as worthy of such a title. Around the 30 minute mark the players are within a few hundred resources lost from each other during a mech vs bio TvT, then the game goes on another 20 minutes. It was glorious and one of the first matches I actually caught live when starting to watch the pro SC2 scene.

[@good-questions]

Pozzo???? Lucky????? Where is your hat? Are you still blind?

[@cousinpatsey2471]

That game is legendary.

[@V3x0r]

You guys are making my morning so much better!

[@davidintrabartolo5887]

Maru vs. TY, copious battlecruisers, and Tastetosis. What more could you want?

[@JussyTheGamer]

Every video you put out is a gem. Thanks so much for your existence 🙏

[@brianjorgensen937]

The effort going into this channel has been so awesome! Thanks for the hard work keep the vids coming!

[@Jallahruud]

Thank you for making these fantastic highlight videos! Keep it up king.

[@csie123]

3:50 kill himself army lol

[@TIMMIAY]

Holy jesus this is incredible. I completely forgot about this. Definitely need TY to come back. This is the highest level of late-game TvT and it's not even close.

[@aracuscesar]

it cant really stretch any longer. Its basically deplete almost every single base till someone runs out or looses the supply depots

[@calvin3204]

I don't know if I'm more impresssed by the crazy back-and-forth of the game or by the lack of emotions of the contenders😆

[@owenthailand]

This is the game where TY lost becuase he forgot to upgrade ship weapon.

[@peterchui1964]

I think the game was more interesting because of it

[@EagleWolfSparrow]

At the End, he tap out too early, I thought he could win as All battle cruiser still disabled and Tanks all gone

[@blakecampos685]

@Ching Chieh Wang Deffinetly not Maru had double his army supply and minerals to make more units. Even if he somehow killed Maru's army he would have like 5 vikings and maru would just make marines and win.

[@francisjaytimosa9838]

The whole series was great actually.

[@RandomCarrot2806]

Now this is the proper amount of battlecruisers to soothe my soul after the severe disappointment of none showing up in the first of this video series.

[@roncho]

This is no clickbait what an impressive game

[@meandmyself1600]

Much

[@TheRealArmor]

To I dig the channel intro at the start 👌👌

[@pigzard01]

It's games like these that make me wanna bust out Rebel Raider Raynor in coop and just move command my BC fleet all over the map til there's nothing left.

[@tictcha612]

Super vidéo !

[@Alex-xv6me]

I honestly didn't know who would win that final engagement until one of them tapped out. I guess they're better at reading game states than I am

[@krispywater]

Was not expecting a W from maru there. Thought it was game when he took bad trades early to mid game. Amazing.

[@MattSipka]

I would rename the title “One Of the best TvTs ever,”

[@anoriolkoyt]

Thanks for the quality over quantity uploads !

[@rileychupp138]

If youre continuing this Id love to see LilBow v Hydra when LilBow had that epic comeback.

[@WuW0w0-m8m]

Glad to see the game becomes more interesting since I quit but also more complex😢. Just gona stick with war3 for the fun and simple build order

[@IWANT_TOBELIEVE]

OH MY GOD THIS INTRO SO FYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@EJames-nm4qt]

Honestly thought TY would've won that last battle... much wow! There's a PvP match between Neeb and Astrea in my head which was just endless action from start to finish. Unfortunately I cannot recall any other details from that match...

[@infojaviernova]

Impresionante...

[@chrisklugh]

Maru IS Terran. You can't beat him with Himself.

[@19miguelt87]

Suggesting Parting vs. Maru, Showtime vs. Serral, Maru vs. Soo

[@You-ul8qw]

The lack of weapon upgrades really hurt TY in this match, stuck on only +1 against things like building armor, and that fight in maru's base I'd say lost the game for him. With +3, taking down bases with BC runbys would be a piece of cake.

[@Erdbeerheld1]

Video description says 'Maru vs. Stats' :)

[@maniacalcoast2742]

I’m shocked that disables are still in the game, it’s like we forgot the lesson we learned with lockdown. Like at least give us counter play in a TVT and give us medivac pickup with siege tank again

[@MillerahPwnskies]

lol there's a TY supply depot behind maru's mineral line at 14:09 xD I had to triple check that I wasn't insane.

[@lostnamenowwhoami]

Wait though, WHAT are TY's skins? That looks so cool

[@TurtleSlut]

You need to find that one insane tvt back when siege tanks could be lifted by medivacs, apologies dont remember the players.

[@songhyunlee8454]

I get the OG ben 10 vibe from this intro

[@recuerdameporf]

This was the tournament whit the best tvt ever

[@user-hs6oi5yh6c]

I think game5 of their series(golden wall) was more fun.

[@Glass_Half_Full]

TvT. Maru vs TY. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, does it better than these 2.

[@toxicpanda36]

innovation vs maru was also insanely good bc they practiced vs each other constantly.

[@Barlylol]

DUDE... ALWAYS SHOW HEALTH BARS.

[@yigitinegol964]

Wowww

[@JCMiniPainting]

The first time I ever enjoyed watching a TvT

[@pinkpath23]

I am a bit confused, why did Maru tap out? wouldn't have his vikings and marined have killed the battlecrousers?

[@themavrandbrickashaw5511]

TY tapped out. He was supply blocked too hard with no money. Not enough CCs or production to resupply. Supply would’ve been ~150 vs 50 after the fight.

[@jamomoritz6763]

Ty. For me the best TvT player that ever existed. Even though he lost this game.

[@luigiferruzzi6209]

The folder "Greatest game" is wrong, there are other game not this between Maru and TY

[@SC2HL]

Would love some suggestions - mostly doing this as pilot. There are great matches from the past but it’s really hard to source good quality footage

[@Geffalrus1984]

Wait, why did TY tap out? Seemed like he was winning that final engagement?

[@centrillopl5405]

How was he winning that engagement? He was already down 50 army supply when he tapped out

[@alucardlord9032]

@@centrillopl5405 TY was much better against maru in this game, he can literally could have won, maru only had BCs and TY had mass vikings, take note that he was far behind air upgrades too, but he could definitely won that fight, mass viking is better than BCs

[@JulianCastelle23]

@@alucardlord9032 TY had 13 Vikings and 28 Marines before he tapped out. In comparison, Maru still had 28 Vikings, 2 Siege Tanks and 2 BCs. A few more seconds and that those TY Vikings would be gone and then the remaining Maru Vikings would annihilate the remaining Marines if they haven't been blown to bits by the 2 Siege Tanks already. Ty had no infrastructure and resources left so he really was checkmated after that fight.

[@alucardlord9032]

@@JulianCastelle23 Yeah i overlooked that, maru had 28 vikings + 5 BCs and tanks, i didnt see the vikings , thanks to that orange paint

[@2curlypanda225]

Anyone see the 4 SCVs kill the one marine?

[@MagnifiqueRarity]

Sometimes I see the Pros have full supply and have a decent bank, but yet they don't start their next upgrades. Is it just APM overload, or some other reason?

[@themavrandbrickashaw5511]

Sometimes they forget, sometimes they think the money is better spent elsewhere

[@MagnifiqueRarity]

@@themavrandbrickashaw5511 I see. I would just think that upgrades are so important that they would be hard to forget ...

[@themavrandbrickashaw5511]

@@MagnifiqueRarity Yeah, it's kind of crazy that he took so many engagements which should have gone his way without ever checking. He must have thought he already had it and was too preoccupied to check.

[@wraithryder]

im glad they're putting the dates on now but im not interested in pre-patch games anymore since the new patch is the new hotness - the downside to staggering ur content releases - they can obsolete unless u strategically release them NOT after a new patch drops in order to show history more than current strats (which is what everyone is interested in right now)

[@themavrandbrickashaw5511]

Sc2 doesn’t change that much. I totally disagree that what everyone is interested is current meta strats.

Idk how this is "the greatest Match ever". A Turtle mech chilling, waiting for a Mistake all game long.
