thats the risk of working entertainment, you live or die on your viewership. technically that's everything, it's just the consumer base is less fickle with things that have productivity value
Am I the only person who saw Maru interference matrix the gold hatch to try and prevent the cancel at 1:27:42 only for Dark to beat him to the punch? Is this real life?
Maru participated since the very beginning of GSL, but he didn't win it until 2018. SC2 was way more competitive in early days because prize pools were about 200k and this season its just 25k. There were way more people competing and the skill cap was higher. I want to see prime MC / MVP / Nestea / Innovation vs prime Maru then we know who is the real best player
maru is basically retired at this point and has won several times more tournaments and prize money than serral and that during a time when starcraft was way more competitive. you are comparing an old timer to a newcomer towards the end of starcraft 2 lifetime. serral is a slighty better player now but his impact and career have been negligent compared to marus. serral would have been middle of the pack during the prime years when starcraft was at its peak. both playerwise and from a tournament and prize money perspective @@edd8914
I have a question for those still deep into sc2 as I have not really played in a long time. Why were their worker counts so low? In those matches I saw Maru staying at 55-65 scvs and Dark with 65-75 drones.
Maru goes mass CC (mules) late game to enable a bigger standing army - prior to this he does go up to ~80 scvs in the mid game. Dark's main army composition of roach/ravager typically has a lower drone count due to the higher supply cost of this composition (i.e. 200/200 roach aggression build) . A muta/ling/bane or hydra-lurk/ling/bane comp still has the typical 80-90 drones and in the longer games he does reach this number of drones as he transitions out of roach/ravager.
@@GoDiMoNsTeR the wings one was the original ones given to GSL champion each time they win it. The first big one was for G5L, winning 5 GSL, that Maru got last year. Now I am not sure if GSL just switch to that shape for good, or is it just for Maru because he also won the 6th and 7th one. I guess we will only know if a different player win the GSL and see which pin they will get.
I don't understand why dark didn't invest in 3-4 corruptors early in the games. Terrans biggest asset are the medivacs, if you nullify those then you effectively get the whole map to yourself for the rest of the game, no? Like @ 1:43:36, Dark had the money and I think would have been able to keep both of those hatches alive with the threat of 2 corruptors per army group.
Pros generally don't build early corruptors because you would need like 4 or 5 of them to be a deterrent for medivacs and at that point you really don't have enough gas to make enough banes. 1000 resources to not do any damage to marines/tanks.
@@connorfrancis7471 Sure, but the amount of damage without them was horrendous (in this game) haha. Maybe not 4-5 at once, but 1 here and there? IDK...
@@brazilfootballcause they’re more expensive than muta and offer very little utility. Hard to have them positioned correctly especially when you’re on 4+ bases. The kill on medivac is not guaranteed. You either lose your cors to marines or they’ll just boost away. Plus it’s not like tvp where starport has to choose between vikings or medivacs. Terran will replace those medivacs eventually.
gotta love how Caster Park tries to extract drama from every pre-game interview but the players are usually just like "yeah my opponent is pretty good"
That last game... why wouldn't you, as Dark, make like 15 muta and just go ravage behind? The thors are the antiair and they're away from base and slow.
yeah at the end there were enough ghosts to just one shot every single unit of the zerg army lmao. and banelings cant even touch the ghosts, like wtf..
@@theelitecombine1715 its just stupid to watch one unit that can be massed without a way to punish them hardly by the zerg. Even their Auto attack is incredibly strong. I would really want to See a real nerf asap. Last one was no nerf at all, Meta didnt change a Single bit and honestly, everybody knew that Right from the announcement of the Patch. I think they Are Even stronger now against protoss than before. Come up with something interesting: something like ghost movement speed reduced to an unstimmed marine, make Ultra Not snipeable, so that you have at least 1 real Counter to them. The Ghost ultra interaction in General is so crazy in my opinion. Imagine the infestor Having an ability called mega harpune which can be casted burrowed desling 170 damage, Having 14 Range. You could snipe Thors and BCs all the time. Nobody would say that this was balanced. Somehow terrans do Not think that this is a Problem since this is basically what the ghost is against zerg. Its a speed battlecruiser on steroids. Make them unable to do the Auto attack to close targets like Siege Tank, so that lings could actually punish unsupported ghosts. Would make them so much More fitting to the role as a sniper. I Know that terran needs Ghosts in the lategame, so snipe somehow Must stay in the Game, but I do think that they Are wayyy to Strong in the lategame. Its so much harder for zerg to Play against them than it is for the terran to Play with them. Zerg Must have clear counters to them, which they Are Not Having Right now. Zerg cannot punish Mass Ghosts Right now. Counterplay to them is too much luck based, hoping terran will Not Look for a second so that a Fungal or Neural can Hit to emp the other Ghosts. I also do Not like that snipe doesnt interact with upgrades, there has to be a way to make snipe les efficient against fully upgraded Units. Maybe make it dependant on fighting on and off creep, so that it Deals lese damage to Upgraded Units that Are moving on creep. But as I mentioned before, it is really difficult to nerf them, because terran needs to be able to compete with zerg in the lategame. Punishing zerg overextention needs to stay in the game. I do Not think the Points I mentioned would influencer it to a degree that lategame is Not playable for terran. But I would like to hear terran opinions on it. And I Know that terrans Know that the Ghost is too Strong as it is Right now. So be honest pls.
@@gerkahn8179 lol if u make ultra not snipeable they will destroy terrans. you would have them build shittons of libs to counter 2-3 ultralisks mixed in with ling bane? It would become impossible to play against ultra would be the only thing zergs play in lategame.
actually.. I think zerg is not using nydus canal enough... Im watching some very dang old gsl game and ogsthewind use em like a pro back in 2010. zerg should really use em . they actually go unnoticed in maru s base . in season 3 I bet this come meta
If Maru lose, he'll be one step closer to breaking soO's record of 6 GSL silver. If Maru win, he'll be breaking his own record of 6 GSL gold. Which one will it be?!!! lets watch to find out.
How to counter ghosts: 1) Make sure they are all clumped up 2) Repeatedly chain fungal them without letting anything get in range of snipe, which outranges all of your abilities 3) Run huge number of banelings into them 4) Still lose, then let the Terran still whine about how OP Zerg is
It is basically to the point that anytime Terran gets a clump of ghosts, the Zerg player is just dead, barring some miracle. I correctly predicted a couple of games based on the ghost count alone.
Actually not even wrong. I realized at some point that adding starcraft videos to favorites to re-watch when I'm older is pointless because sc2 still keeps changing.
Is Maru universally recognized by acclamation as the greatest sc2 player yet or are people still arguing for someone else? It has to be a dead argument at this point.
zerg lategame is just so terrible plus the maps are extremely terran favored this patch. against that ghost mech army there is no way to win but I guess its fair after the zergcon 2019 mass infested marines meta and the constant zvz finals we had in the past. I wish sc2 would be more popular so it would not even be possible for one man to win every single tournament, it is just boring, always the same players but glad that afreecatv still produces the gsl so we can have at least that. herO winning gsl was refreshing after we had basicly only maru, rogue and tyty. and I guess it is also good for the players, they do nothing than playing a video game for life, no university degree or any formation for a career after gaming, without gsl at least 12 players would be without a purpose of life pretty much.
The more I'm watching these games, the more it seems like the ghost needs a nerf. It just hard counters too many units between its various skills. Cloak + snipe vs overseers for ling/bane, snipe for lurkers, brood lords, ultras; emp for infestors. Zerg needs some reliable answer that doesn't involve being already massively ahead, having 2-3 lucky fungals, or the Terran player messing up and walking into banelings. I think snipe is OP and needs a nerf in either energy cost, range, or time to fire.

well the game is in the worst and most boring state ever so that makes sense
Maybe it’s because Terrancraft 2 is a boring pos that deserves to fail.
We really need a random only tournament
There wont be another game epic and intense like sc2.....I really hope that Microsoft will revive this diamond once they acquire Actiblizz
I’ve seen enough great finals that it’s beginning to lose its effect. Nowadays I just have fun with tastless messing in the winning ceremony.
