StarCraft 2 is a military science fiction real-time strategy video game developed and released by Blizzard Entertainment.
I feel bad for Solar man. I think Maru is just giving him PTSD.
Always those big moments where he "almost" does it but then something catastrophic happens.
Whether its a nuke hitting every broodlord because he lost vision.
Hero widow mine connections that turns a doomed fight for Maru
Same widow mines hitting your entire flock of mutas
Or sometimes just leaving your lurkers alone for 2 seconds.
And to add salt on the wound? forgetting you need to move your overlord to spot the siege tanks. Something im sure he has done thousands of times on ladder. And he just forgot under the pressure.
A really basic mistake in his eyes when he rewatches the game later.
Dont get me wrong Maru forced a lot of those mistakes but man. Solar just gets so many of those crucial moments on a coin flip and he always flips tails.
He looks so tilted. When you reach a point like this its hard to even keep playing a game like starcraft.
Its one thing to get stomped but getting close to winning and it being decided on a flip is fine the first few times.
It happening again and again? My man is gonna some serious theraphy later on in his life.
I feel what you feel
But Solar needs to be A little be more sophisticated, He does not use infester or viper, nydus, banelin bonb, overlord drop, but dark used it everything.
Solar is really good he just really feels the pressure is all
Couldn't believe he lost the 2nd game where 4 hellions and medivac die in his main for 2 drones
Solar is just simply getting outplayed, that's all. Against any weaker opponent he wouldn't be making these mistakes. Maru is the better player.
I see Maru and ghosts I click
4/10
I see anything from this channel and i click
Man of culture
Hank is a simple man. I feel you.
Maru a day, keeps the Zerg at bay
Hahaha, nice one
Solar, classy exit. Wp!
Amazing to hear Lowko commentating at Katowice, such a great content creator who’s deserved big commentating gigs for a long time 👏🏼
probably cheaper.
Leave it to Terran to lose 42 SCVs and still have a better economy.
Safe to say Maru was the reason for the ghost nurf in recent patch.
What changed?
it is so funny because years of Zergs dominating is fine, but the moment Terrans start winning "we need to change that". I mean, during all of the time when Zerg was (and still is) OP af, someone gets so good against the odds that they lower the odds once again.
@@ryu3558 you can walk away from snipe now instead of it being a guaranteed hit
@@geuros the protagonist always has the odds stacked against them 💪
@@missbelled6700 the more incredible Time's victory is, I won't lie, I cried a bit
Mad respect to Solar, showing grace in defeat despite being so frustrated. Imagine someone like Idra in that situation...
I imagined Naniwa
are these finals? no, right?
so solar's like: you better fucking win in finals maru, you fucking better
“ gg wp take the trophoy instead of me “ 😅
As someone who improves by watching the top level of play, I love that you showed bits from their perspective. It’s nice to see their group setups as well as seeing how fast they really are.
you do know that he rips these videos from IEM's production right? credit should go to them
We pay for a license! So part of the ad revenue goes to ESL/IEM
@@SC2HL great to know! his comment on switching to players perspective still should be credited to the production. keep up the great work!
You could tell maru got into solars head here. Solar was being overly aggresive every time it played right into maru hand
was that LowKo as one of the commentators? He went such a long way since I heard him last time on a major tournament, previously squeaky boy now doing a such a great job 🙂
i'm sensing uthermal vibes
That ling flood... This was the most beautiful defence I've seen in a while! Maru hanging on by the skin of his teeth until the very end!
Bro thinks he's uthermal
I love lowko commentary! Amazing match
Im so glad to hear Lowko here!!!! At first i thought theres some other speaker named very similar but then i realised thats actually you!!!
22:07 "But Maru did not take the trophy as Solar had thought. Instead, it went to someone whom no one expected. Only the boy's his father believed in him... And so do I." ~God
The micro is on some other level! Insane!
you can literally say this on any video
@@evilgibson I’ve watched tons of videos like this very one, never ceases to amaze me.
@@SparksFlyin ......so,you comment the same thing on all of them? What information are you actually providing here?
@@evilgibson
1: you must be fun at parties
2: there's nothing wrong with making a comment to share your excitement/feelings/thoughts without 'adding any new information to the picture' so you really don't have any point. i also don't see a comment from you here that is eye-opening new revelatory information
3: maru's micro in this video was worthy of such a comment anyway
@@theSato 1/10 validation
If only Maru could reclaim his lowground, his chances for the win would immediately rise from 0.5% to 7%.
SPEAKING OF MARU.............tough loss :(
think i just seen HuskyStarcraft on a grammarly commercial while loading this video.
I know that Maru could beat my maxed protoss army with 3 marines
I can barely comprehend what’s happening. It blows my mind how they play at this level…
Heavy uThermal breathing
why does maru have a rag on his mouse? looks super obstructive.
maru just pumping suicidal ghosts into hydra ling bane definitely has a "get out of my game" feeling to it lmao
Lowko + Pig = fun
Agreed
Does anyone know what mouse and keyboard maru is using? This event had such a great view of everyone's hands, I'm super curious!
Love how Solar knew that he couldn't beat Maru in a macro game, so the only match he won was cheesing
love this casting duo.
Game3 marine micro is so sick...
Nice video !
Omg Lowko is one of the casters?
Is that a towel under Maru's mouse hand? Why? Does it somehow help with his wrist issues?
Old man Maru proving he is still the GOAT. #gotMaru?
I'm liking the PiG/Lowko commentating
Thank you for the awesome content on a regular schedule!
gg wp take trophoy instead of me😔
Poor solar, he needed someone to take out Maru early like Byun did in the Korean tournament
the GOAT, best at every matchup. unlike a fluke losing every ZvZ
Is that lowko hosting?
Nvm figured it out. Thx though
Maru and Ghost!!!. LIKE
9:00
I think, and i thought this since a year, that marines need a bigger cooldown between attacks.
What Maru did there wasnt even hard to execute, i think goldstar players can even do that.
I think this match up has never been balanced, in fact, terran marines are the one thing that always has been imbalanced.
There is no other race that needs less skill than Terrans. Why do i say that?
You always need a bigger army to protect against their FUCKIN BASE-UNIT
Lets not forget, a fkin baneling costs 25 more minerals and 25 more gas
Have you ever seen 10 marines go down this fast before even reaching the enemy? aside from traps?
That unit never worked.
1:55 this around the time i just alt+f4...
17:40 Excuse me, but that is not a "1-1-1 build", that is the "Destiny-Cloud-Fist" Build!
RIP Husky :'(
Excited for your Katowice highlights, some epic games and series! 🙏
Finals?
Lowko commenting this one, nice

10:12 his inner Scottish took over there :D
Btw... ghost need a nerf, currently counter everything. Zerg must close the game before massive ghost count.
i'm beginning to feel more and more that it's actually pretty bad in general to bank as terran, esp if it's not TvT.
protoss and zerg can use banks because they can just unload all that money to quickly get back to max supply, so it's useful for them, but terran? you don't have the instant reinforcement like protoss nor the huge amount of swappable production like zerg if you try to hold onto a bank, instead, if you lose your army all of a sudden, you need a bunch of time to build up forces again and you need *something* to cover for your production while that happens. So, why not spam CCs? they block the way and themselves look like decent chew toys/targets (planetaries especially can just blunt an attack or take really long to blow up) and so they help cover for your production as you try to get a critical mass again.
the issue with spamming other stuff like engis or production is that they're not a threat nor are they a good target, so you're relying entirely on them blocking the way instead of being a distraction, and opp will just break one line and slip straight through. Them being smaller means it's also a bunch more apm (1.5 to 2x even) to make the same amount of effective sim-city compared to just slapping down ccs
Pro Terrans do tend to make a lot of PFs and OCs when they have a bank.
I'm not sure what your point is - "its bad to bank" - having excess resources in reserve is a good thing for all races. Are you suggesting that Terran should constantly throw away units on unfavorable trades&aggression so they prevent themselves from accruing reserve mins&gas? lol
@@theSato you clearly did not bother reading my full comment.
@@pallingtontheshrike6374 I did.
@@pallingtontheshrike6374 Gotta agree with Sato here. You said a lot of nothing. What exactly is your point? That Terrans should mass CCs and use them as a wall?
does the color quality or saturation on this feel off for anyone else or just me?
Two figures step out into the spotlight
Maru "Prepare for trouble~" *pulls out ghost*
Byun "Make it double!" *pulls out reaper*
I really love the pov of the players in those games
Widow mines drop. Trashuest sc2 tactic. I wonder why it's not fixed yet
Maybe sc2 players love broken strats
Why does Maru use a mouse with a cloth
it's so disappointing to to hear lowko
22:08
that trophoy looks juicy
Awesome !!
Who are these casters? 😢
I think one of them is Lowko
I think that’s PiG and Lowko. I can be wrong though
It’s definitely lowko and pig
Lowko and Pig, two fantastic casters.
why the crying face? lol
No tastosis no like
they did the finals!
Serral lost to ragnorok … serral is such garbage
lol, "garbage" he says.
@@theSato he is , heavy favorite but can’t beat anyone worth value anymore
@@jonbattens8688 lol
@@jonbattens8688 cry more, bet loser
@@missbelled6700 that’s not crying… bet more? What? You make zero sense… hopefully you never breed
guess what

2nd still matters XD
