Maru's TvZ is like watching a slow bear trap close on a hapless animal in the forest. I've seen Zerg be way ahead of him with huge banks and still lose. He's the Terminator.
Thats what happens when you nerf Zerg for 3 years straight. They no longer have the tools to break a Terran and its pretty obvious they finally figured it out.
@@Konranjyoutai :I Because that was too imbalanced back then :I Do u know the queen air range in WOL only 3 ? Blizz way over buffed zerg with those free units in HOTS . Remember winfestor ? No need to be Serral to win Toss or Terran . Baneling deals exact the same dmg vs light unit and it makes sense . Before the patch , every zerg drone up to 90 suppy then baneling go bruhhhhhhhhhhhh . And don't forget Nydus
@@Konranjyoutai LLOOLL 🤣🤣🤣🤣 • if this were the case then Clem's TvZ would be as good as Maru's, but no.. he can't beat serious Zergs like Rogue Dark and he barely* beat solar by a bee's dick. Or any other top 10 terran. The reason Maru is the best TvZ in the world is bc he knows how to punish Zergs for trading inefficiently - not cos Zerg as an entire race is 'underpowerered'
@@sleepyhead6468 Not true what so ever. There has only been TWO ZvZ finals this year and it just so happened that they took place back to back. Also they were two small tournaments, not compared to GSL or something with 100k+ payouts.
Viewers: “These casters suck! Tastosis is much better!” Tasteless: “I have canned horse meat at home. Can I eat it out of the can or do I have to cook it?”
I think it’s two casters did a very good job. I actually like them more than Tasteless and Artosis (whom I think are terrific when paired with other casters, but hard on the ears when they’re together. They seem like nice guys, but aren’t as hilarious as they think they are).
●●● The latest King of Battles (3) showcased yet again, how objectively shit and annoying Steadfast and SomeDrunkCanadian are to listen to cast. I'm sure they're nice guys and all, but Steadfast is unredeemably biased towards his own race (*and I'm not sure he's even aware of it) describing almost every trade from the perspective of it being good/bad for specifically a zerg player. SomeDrunkCanadian doesn't even know the name of terran units and buildings, seriously. And most annoyingly: he DOESN'T actually add any creative/sharp-funny thought to the banter in any way whatsoever - literally nothing. ALL he does is describe exactly what is going on in the screen at any point in time. Literally a play by play of what your two eyes can already see. Once you've had someone point it out, you can't NOT hear it and notice that's literally 95% of everything he say. As soon as Artosis was brought in to cast the finals of KOB3 last night with Beo it was a stark contrast - from these two, to a duo who actually know how to cast properly. Someone who innately knows the ebbs and flows of game meta. And does the delicate balance of analysis, composition predictions, [non-awkward] humour and also a bit of play by play. Now that KOB has ESL support and is included as an official major on the circuit.. I hope and expect they'll get a better crew across the board for future tournaments. And also lift the production quality (especially the bizarre audio issues that continued through even KOB3) And I say this as someone who donates a not insignificant amount to the prize pool for each KOB.. not just the throw shade for shade's sake.. it's been fun but KOB has come of age and it's time to no longer cast this tournament on your mate's B-grade streams with poor audio equipment and cringe casting.
Hilarious how the commentator tries to make excuses for Reynor, that he isn't playing in studio and thus isn't in an optimal environment, lol the exact applies to Maru right here also, thus the excuse doesn't even make sense. All these non Korean commentators ever do is try to make excuses for Reynor or Serral, and they never give actual legitimate excuses. It's like a fanboy of an MMA fighter not wanting to accept that they lost, and sitting around saying it was hot that night in the ring, or the crowd wasn't there to hype them up etc, just petty and not being able to accept that your boy lost.
I've noticed alpha x casters say a lot of filler sentences without really thinking about what they are saying. It may not be all of them it may be just one or two, but its definitely there
The commentary is so one sided here in the zergs favor. Lets be clear on balance....zerg was utterly broken for nearly 2 years previously. Zerg has more than enouh natural benefits to be able to take the game from terran. Spellcasters which get free damage on top of an already enourmous bank advantage for one. If the game was truly balanced maru would be untouchable.
LOL. The TY you remember is no where NEAR the level of today's Maru. And besides.. some of us actually enjoy seeing him do his Maru-magic thing. He's the best player in the world. His fingers are special and the shit he can do is just fucking incredible. And it's a joy to watch
At 21:19, caster starts to cough, and then proceeds to continue to cough throughout the minute. At least be professional and mute yourself while you're having a coughing fit and let your partner run for a bit. These casters were not good and not doing sound level checks made it difficult watching this series - glad to see others also mentioning the casters did not do a good job here. Thankfully, these two casters didn't do the finals - Beomulf & Rushi casting the finals was great work!
Agree - while I dont find these guys annoying or bad casters per say, they just have so many annoying habits or quirks - Cough fits in every series, Mics that go from barely audio to so fricking loud, every attack is an "all-in", bad predictions, so many annoying sayings like MuttMutts, hold the phone etc.
Ghosts are op vs zerg AND protoss. Auto gg. But terraneers low boobs complain because it is micro intensive. So pls Activision buff ghosts with auto snipe and auto emp.
ngl even as someone who plays random and loves terran ghosts do seem like a bit much vs zerg. feels like an instant gg in pro matches sometimes. only thing i can see trading efficiently/beating it is swarmhosts, but who dafuq is gonna get those
lol.... here we go again, If Zerg pro´s don´t win everything, Zerg fans show their true colors(Big whining) Ghost are strong yes, but not OP. They have low hp(100) and moves very slowly which makes them pretty fair. Lurkers on the other hand... 200HP(!) moves fast, burrows fast and the DPS is insane . Check Maru vs Serral in this tourney. Maru played his heart out(with Ghosts) and barely won over Serral
@@cousinpatsey2471 I agree, no one person has the power to elicit change from corporate America.

@@iofthestorm7478 bruh, future reference, you're not getting anyone on your side unless you simplify your speech.

29:36: reynor sees the bunkers and smiles, like "shit, is this 2015? but i guess it's going to kill me".
5:07 when the commentator want to say some bias thing for reynor but he got nothing lol.
maru is sick. never seen perfect play like this before. if reynor had played 10/8.5 maru was like 10/10

Nobody said these casters suck; Zombiegrub and Maynarde though
for some reason i find the caster calling Muta's mut mut very irritating

reynor on suicide watch. maru not even playing on his main server.
"Maru's game looking very, very strong." Yeah and his face looking bored as usual 😄. - 23:33
His bored face is his superpower
To Maru it's probably a boring game after all. His brain was probably running rehearsals against Serral at the same time.

It sounded like the casters nose was plugged the entire cast
-Italian player exist

great series, great cast. .calling mutas "mutt-mutt" or whatever was hard to listen to.. but great vid nonetheless
That's a tastosis reference)
I thought I was the only one thinking these casters are bad….. until I read the comments….
Absurd comment at 5:30
what do you expect from white people.

Have a chance*, it wasn’t guaranteed a W in TVT like it is right for maru Vs any other Terran pretty much.

Saying mut mut was a nice novelty but cast after cast you guys are still saying it is just irritating now.

young spaghetti boy lost 🤣
get replay..... i mean seriously
Young spaghetti boy? Lmao... what a racist comment LOL! Nice one Steadass!
worst commentators I've ever seen. 42:56 I can't believe my ears.
