@@formula5274 Understood :D I was already too old to get into SCII when it came out (anything north of 15 is too old I guess, and I was 29). Still, one of the most enjoyable spectator games of all time, and the Tasteosis combo always makes it hilarious. Best 2 casters. And Maru, for now, most entertaining player. I know that Quake III has no equal in terms of skill cap, but for an RTS, this is damn entertaining and nail biting shit.
I just wanna show my appreciation for what a gentle and considerate person Tasteless is, casting a GSL final in 2019 and still kind enough to take a moment and explain to me how it is a common tactic in both sc2 and sc:br to keep your HT in prism to prevent it from being sniped. Thanks bud dont know what we would do without these trivia facts!
Everyone is all hyped for GoT and here I am watching GSL finals!!! That BC game was insane! I thought Maru was out of his mind! He is on another level. So excited for Super Tournament!
I love how they are playing I prevail, I wonder if that's blizzards choosing or tastosis or the gsl production crew. either way, still awesome they always playing good music
I never thought I would see a mass battlecruiser build !especially in a final ! Amazing Edit: I think even Classic was surprised by seeing mass battlecruisers
he can't prepare for anything against BC. Cannon and S.batteries to move out an inch? Or Mothership cloak and recall? with almost unlimited late game scan, you can't hide it from yamato. BC will always out maneuver any single unit with its build in jump and Yamato plus repairable. Maru is super good, fully deserve to win the title, but the BC game is quite one sided due to late game design.
@@kinglif8854 terran vs protoss is simply broken period at this level, protoss has to do WORK. Terran just does a 7:30 push with ~4 siege tanks and ton of bio / medivac. Good luck stopping it. Oh and in this game, Maru can hold easily with vikings, liberator and siege tank and send half or more his army to go harass. Broken game design at this level .
I don't agree with it. Starcraft 2 (korean version) is now basically a competition among 7-8 players (Inno,TY,hero,Classic,Stats,Rogue,Maru.... ) for more than 2 years.Among them only Innovation,Stats and Maru have the quality to win the GSL. No possibility of any new player coming. Dominating in a tournament where competition is so low won't make anyone all time greatest. It will always be MVP to me who won every possible tournament he could participate when sc2 was in it's most competitive version. Besides , Maru's performance in shorter length tournament(where momentum is everything like gsl vs the world, blizzcon) is poor even now. In my opinion, Maru isn't the only player who is considered as the best player in present time. In preparation based tournament Maru is the best among current players while in shorter length tournament Serral is the best.
Nah, he got his ass kicked at round of 8 in BlizzCon by sOs, and eliminated really quick in GSL vs The World. He was too scared to go against Serral last year, and this year he only got the GSL and lost everything else so far. I can see Reynor kicking beating him later this year.
@@md.mahmudurrahman1230 Difference between Serral and Maru is: Serral *was* the best in shorter length tournaments in 2018 but isn't anymore while Maru keeps on dominating high preparation tournaments. Stating that GSL has low competition is a joke. You're literally lying with all your points: Your statement: only 7-8 players are capable of dominating among the Koreans for more than two years. Meanwhile we had 10 different Koreans winning premier tournaments since the beginning of 2017: Maru, Innovation, TY, Gumiho, Stats, Classic, herO, Zest, Rogue and soO. Add runner ups to the equation and we have additional 3 additional players with sOs, Solar and Dark. So thats almost a packed Ro16. Also that there is no possibility of any new players coming (which is a bold statement, but I get your point) isn't a sign of low competition but caused by the fact that competition in Korea is that insanely hard that newcomers barely have a chance to establish themselves. While this is a problem in terms of the longevity of the Korean SC2-scene it doesn't make GSL a tournament with low competition yet. MVP was great but he never was able to dominate for such a long time in a row. Maru isn't only incredible for his 4 GSLs in a row but also for his two Starleague Championships in 2013 and 2015 and for his crazy consistency placing in the Ro4 in 10 (!) other premier tournaments and achieving two 2nd places in stacked tournaments. Adding his unprecedented Proleage-records this basically means that Maru never had something like a slump in his entire career since his breakthrough in 2013 which explains why he always was feared by other top players and considered a likely championship contender. We can now say, we don't know what MVP would've achieved if he hadn't had his severes wrist issues. Probably he would've shown more greatness. But then again: there is no player at all who was successful in the early days and managed to carry that over until now. It's highly questionable if MVP would've been able to maintain his greatness with kespa-switch or with Hots or now LotV. But in the end it doesn't matter what *could* have been.
