One thing no one ever mentions is how good Maru's resource management is, just watch the spread between hom and his opponents bank, he never lsts anything go to waste, always spending
For game 1 Lambo needed more units. He was hovering at ~1k mineral and 500 gas from 7-8 minute mark and 10 units under in army supply. Aside from that he played well.
Its a bit too dark. Dont know if it has to do with the stream or something. But its definetly too dark. Its insane how Maru manages all this stuff. This is Starcraft II at its best.
When Maru was in middle school, his teacher assigned an essay: "What is courage?" He received an A+ for turning in a blank page with only his name at the top
yeah right........i heared that absolute same story (not about maru though) back in my school 15 years ago. its more like an urban myth. Maru was an antisozial oddball who wasn´t even able to speak his own sc teammates at that age.
Poor lambo. During the year he was always stopped by serral. Honestly I think if he ever wasn’t on the same side of the bracket as serral he would have been in the finals at all four stops. For me the big final match back in Montreal I wanted to watch was when Lambo faced Serral in the Semi. I was seriously hoping Lambo would surprise everyone but me and take a game off maru. I *KNOW* he had a chance, even if he himself probably didn’t. I’ve had my eyes on him the since Austin, and I expect big things from him next year. both games, mind you they were against the best in the world, were deceptively close contrary to how onesided they appeared. Had Lambo’s queens not been caught out in game 1, or pushed out baneling speed slightly sooner in game two, both those games would have lasted a bit longer and possibly into the swarm host phase, which is something lambo is as good at if not better than Serral at doing.
Minh Nguyen Hmm? Whatcha mean? You mean how ZvZ is an absolute ballet dance? Or how its the most micro-reliant mirror? Or are you just going to complain about something that isn’t true?
Even if Lambo played perfectly, Maru would demolish him. Lambo said he had better early game but if you look at the supply and tech, Maru was even or ahead not to mention Maru's agrgressive pushes and harass which starved him. Swarmhost was not even an option by that point.
@@kcx-kx8qd did you not watch Blizzcon, GSL vs The Word or GSL Super Tournament? What about the more recent IEM Katowice where Maru got wasted by NEEB Oh what about in WESG when Innovation wrecked Maru and barely inched out a victory against Serral And how about when he lost game 1 to Scarlett because he thought she was hiding one corruptor somewhere so he decided to dive all his Vikings on 3 brood lords and lost Yeah, it's safe to say Serral might still be better than Maru
Commentators didnt give enough credit to lambo game and make frequent inacuracies during the game play. I did really like lambo approach, hope to see him more.
He just needs to be more careful about how he uses his larva. He made 8+ drones at once to try and get his 4th base saturated fast both games before losing said 4th base to Maru's push. The casters even mention this bit in game 1. It's a huge mistake to blindly drone up and not leave any larva for army supply.
Lambo had really good early game defense but Maru's multitasking really outclasses Lambo. Once things got complicated, Lambo could not keep up and Maru crushed him. These games were not close and I have trouble imagining Lambo winning more than 1 or 2 maps out of 10 against Maru. If you watch a top-notch Zerg like Serral, the main difference is that Serrral is faster, more precise, and has ample apm to deal with the multitasking demand. That, and Serral's decision making has become top notch. Sorry, but Lambo is not in Maru's class.
Loved the match, but production team, how many years we been doing this, and we still have audio issues like we did not test stream to check volume levels
What are the win condition in WCS games? I'm asking because I see player with couple bases and quite a bit units in their possession looses and I'm confused...
rly good played of lambo first game he had the early game and be in advantage vs maru is more than most of the korean can do vs him. i am srly supriced of lambo
Wouldn't even say he had a early game advantage game 1, the game is decided on how you handle the first tank push. To be quite honest he got rolled over, maru was taking a 5th that game and he was struggling to hold his 4th.
because you go ling bane into vipers to break siege lines. The initial push on your 4th is the hardest period to stop, unless you're obliterating your economy on something like roaches, ling bane is your only other option, because the push will hit you before you're lair tech has arrived. And roaches are even worse against tanks, you just hit later as the terran because the Zergs late game is a lot worse if they go roach.
I felt, like if lambo would commit to the fights he would win. He just kept going back after gettings 2-3 siege tanks hits, instead going full out after such damage. Bad decision making imo, stress ?
Game 1 he lost because of the lack of vision in the south, lambo wasn't in a good defensive position when Mary sieged up on the ramp. Game 2, lambo's commitment was irrelevant. The push came 15 secs too early for him and he was out microd. What I saw from the games was that lambo came prepared, he's prepared for Mary's early game shenanigans, but the problem is no one outside of Korean community can help preparing for Maru's transition. Hellion drop was 15sec too early for lambo and the same for the tank bio push. That's calling timing. And those timing shows great skill in macro.
Terran actually has the most mobile units, with range, stim and drop micro. Terran bio can split to dodge storms and banelings or target fire banelings. Maru is the only one who can do such things at the highest level while keeping his macro game up. Terran is the race with the most potential, however it seems only Maru came close to utilizing that, the rest of the Terran players are mostly build order players who wouldn't/couldn't take those aggressive opportunities like Maru does with their micro skills lacking.
@@MotorKoiKarpfen If Maru had not let sOs win, he would have 4-0'd this Serral guy no problem. All of this Serral guy's wins were 100% luck with no skill for all of 2018.
There is just one thing i want to happen in sc2 ... serral murdering maru. then i will just stop watching sc2 and never watch again because i have seen the "good ending" to a tournament, invincible overpowered terran actually losing.
Watches Maru play terran .
Gets amped
Opens battle net
Runs starcraft 2
Selects Terran
Proceeds to lose
That's me
TeRraN Is oP

Watching this in 2020 is really nostalgic because this is around the time I first started playing sc2
That 360 rax manouver lol 19:30

It's probably because the teacher saw that Maru had stolen his car radio, his TV, and his computer without seeing him move from his desk.

The undefeatable Terran, who is Maru.
Serral, SoS, Serral, Stats, Serral, Rogue, Serral
Also SoS
And Serral
yeah no , how about serral , you cant say someone is unbeatable until they beat the best

Serral vs Maru in finals plz
It’s called, “Migrant Boat Strategy!” Put everyone on the boat until it sinks!

like normal they just surrender ^^
Maru is on fire this year!
1 Terran hope makes the race alive!!!
Is it just me or are the playlists always back to front with the finals being the first video?
rly good played of lambo first game he had the early game and be in advantage vs maru is more than most of the korean can do vs him. i am srly supriced of lambo

The first match is how to play Terran 101
Maru looked bored
*grabs popcorn*
Rip Geoff
immediately proceeds to play Terran and loses
14:29 time for a Desert Strike break.
Starcraft
why so many zerg use ling bane if they cant control banelings well enough to justify how bad that composition is vs tanks....
because you go ling bane into vipers to break siege lines. The initial push on your 4th is the hardest period to stop, unless you're obliterating your economy on something like roaches, ling bane is your only other option, because the push will hit you before you're lair tech has arrived. And roaches are even worse against tanks, you just hit later as the terran because the Zergs late game is a lot worse if they go roach.

0:24 Maru the ... towel Terran!?
Why buff mech while bio shows clearly where the imbalance is.
Jesus what a god
Maru makes terran look rediculous.
