Hey everyone! Its been a while since I posted.
I’ve recently moved to a different appartement and didn’t have internet for 2-3 weeks. Really unfortunate, but excited to post some new content!
If you have any ideas or suggestions, do let me know!
Hey,
Your audio is poor, all i have to pass on ;)
Would prefer no skips, action is great but you miss the little moves and overall strategy
I suffered from withdrawal while you were gone. WHY U NO HERE?!
I think it'd be cool to add some "dead time" at the end of certain videos so people can't deduce who wins because the video is almost finished. Keep us on the edge of our seats.
Love your channel!!! ❤❤❤
Best SC2 channel around. Single-handedly keeps me watching Starcraft
Agree 100%
100% true!
Totally agree, my favorite channel on youtube 😉
Ditto
True, you could also try lowko 👍🏽
Look how happy Maru was when he won another GSL!
probably "just another one" to him at this point.
Lol, you'd be forgiven thinking that he lost.
Acturus Maru: "I will not be stop, not by you, or Cure, or the Protoss or anyone. I will rule the GSL or see this tournament burnt to ashes around me."
Proceed to nuke his main base
I mean, he already nuked his opponent army, his own army, his opponent base before. So now he has to nuke his own base just to say he has done everything.
😂
Arcturus Marungsk: "You left me no choice"
Haha, lol 🤣

Thank you for posting these games. I don't have time to watch the full streams / vods so this is perfect for me
Really appreciate everything you do for the SC2 community :D
I was rooting for the runner-up in these finals but the winner is undeniably the greatest at his race in the world. Thanks for the always quality highlights and uploads.
This is the correct way to deliver spoiler free comments. Outstanding.
I feel the number one thing about Maru that speaks to how good he is and the aura he wields compared to other terrans is how often he will literally have half the army supply of his opponent and they posture up for a fight and he is able to make them think they can't win and go home.
It's not fear, it's not paranoia, it's experience. Against the greatest players in the world, Maru can make them leave, not because they misjudged the situation, but because they judged it correctly.
Thing with Maru is that he goes to a fight he knows he can win.
"Solar would have lost the broodlords" lmaoo
That hurt lol
Solar become Ryu (LoL) of the SC2 community lol
SAVAGE
Folks, an SCV chasing after a Swarm Host. Behold. 4:48
"Taste my drill" - the SCV, probably
I've never played SC2 ever, but this channel got me hooked for years now as if I actually play it.
maru looked unstoppable here. incredible games
It's unbelievable the player skill we have today. I remember in WoL when matches were about maxing, then running your big ball into your opponent's big ball. Now these guys are fighting on so many fronts, even the casters can't keep up. Maru is playing out of his mind, and I don't know how he does it.
Hey @SC2HL I wanted you to know that you are amazing for consistently uploading this stuff. Thanks so much for the entertainment!
"Some games end really fast, others end extremely quickly."
Almost one hour long Maru game? Grab your chips and coke folks
This matchup is always super entertaining. these two are amazing tbh.
What a series!!!!!
You are the missing piece to my lovely nights.. thanks for coming back
i love watching the Goat!
Thanks for uploading Starcraft, you always relit my passion for it
I will insist
Nydus are by far the most broken and retarded unit concept of the whole game
No race or unit whatsoever is able to put global pressure, appear in any place and not only allow to move units from 1 cornet to the other, but also allows you to make a quick escape and save all your units if you desire
25:12 - 25:15 - an overlord is killed by biles. Lol.
Great games.
Great matches!
I've never played before but I do really enjoy watching pros play
4:00 I need to know what happened to the burrowed banes
Man game 4 felt like I was watching a Protoss or terrain players first match playing as a Zerg.
26:30 Maru nuking his own main is such an underrated moment, it's so comical. Like, I don't think it was an accident, I really think he meant to do that, but wow does it look silly lol
26:27 MARU NUKES HIS OWN BASE?!
4:44 The Marine's gun goes flying off the screen at warp speed after being killed by the Ultra
NYOOM
“Solar would’ve lost those broodlords” 😂😂😂
2:02 entire mineral line gets cleared. 13 scvs. caster: "not too many scvs going down".... meanwhile 3 banshes going across the map in other games and require 5 minutes of hard micro to kill 3 drones. "good harrassment and big damage"
thats just the state of terran race, a dumbed down version of starcraft where macro isnt strictly necessary. its just easier for them to play
@@dwdjs289 i love how tilted you are XD keep up the bronze grind bro
@@dwdjs289 someone's salty
37:57 - I dont think anyone but the observer noticed two vikings taking out two vipers. Big swing, considering Dark had like 4 total.
por que los highlights duran 51 minutos? donde puedo ver highlights de starcraft 2?
The full match is around 2 hours!
I always love watching these games even though I can't play to save my life
Keep trying! You’ll definitely improve ;)
How did I not get this video 11 days ago?
48:12
"some games end really fast, others end uh extremely quickly" - tasteless, gaming socrates
Feels like Zergs don't use abductions anymore. Felt it they used to be the game winning moves previously.
Мару красавчик, всегда за него ❤
How did they determine who win?
Maru is clearly a beast and yhe 3 reaper stimpack marine follow up is so good against zerg i guess
what a fuu going on with zerg at 19.00 ? he got 4 bases instead of 2 for Maru and doing massive army push... wtf is going on zerg spend all the money on workers and base and still have huge army!
never mind he did the thing he does with scarlett on game three
god is a goat and his name is maru
Havent been watching sc2 for a long time, but i remember maru being like 15 or 16 looking promising. With 7 gsl wins he has prolly taken the sc2 best player by now?
Nah, I am being a Maru fanboy but Serral has looked better than him recently. But I think Maru still can beat Serral if he playing like this when they meet.
@@tigera6 how many gsl wins serral has?
@@Yazimo none, but he has 2 World Championship and Maru has none. I would take 2 world title over 7 GSL to be honest. But if Maru can win another mega-prize tournament then I would defend him to death over Serral.
@@tigera6 and I would say the only reason why Serral does not have a GSL it is because He does not live in Korea (For those who dont know u have to have lived in Korea for several months in order to participate in GSL)
@@leonar2mf yes, and its worth it if players like Serral want to do it. At least in the past, but not this year because of the prizepool cut. I know living in KR is expensive and all, but for a chance to win 35k USD? I would do it if I were Serral. But I am not holding it against him though, its his choice.
These maps... is really designed for tanks and drops in mind lol
Maru indeed the best Terran player so far..
All time Legend
@@soongwanjun9381
Agreed..!
An artist
I actually think Maru could’ve won game 5 if he committed to that drop. Obviously he couldn’t know how out of position Dark was, we have perfect vision hand hindsight’s advantage after all.
Still, it’s a pretty cool example of how information can really screw with you and make you make wrong choices based on insufficient information.
Are we skipping entire portions of the games? Are you under the impression that there isn't plenty to see in the first few minutes of setup?
maru so good it hurts me when he loses
Gg!!!!!!!
25:11 that poor overseer got biled
Man this is depressing, watching ghosts counter every single zerg unit every single game.
Only Maru's Ghost are like that, most Terran doesn't even use Ghost
@@doddydwi9850 Absolutely incorrect, every single pro Terran uses ghosts in both TvP and TvZ because they are among T's best units in both matchups. Clem and especially Byun use ghosts much better than maru too.
Goat
hype
Love how Maru plays. Looks so basic, but well executed.
MARU Legendary player!
GSevenL! GSevenL!
I hope they don't nuke ghosts with the next balance patch😢
I hope they do. It will force T to branch into other paths in late game. Currently ZvT is
broodlords=ghost
Ultras=ghost
Lurkers=ghost
Infestors?= you got it, ghosts
@@meddings222 forgot vipers
@@meddings222 So you think Terran has another path in lategame TvZ without Ghost? like what exactly? Unless they bring back the Raven spellcaster, nerfing Ghost into the ground would simply force Terran to do 2/3 base all-in more.
@@tigera6 so you agree, T has very limited late game besides the ghost. Sounds like they should nerd with one hand and buff with the other.
@@meddings222 Yeah, but it would take a lot of buff for that to happen, including Tanks/Libs seige faster, Viking fly quicker, Ravens need to be more useful, ect...I think all of those would need to be done just to nerf the Ghsot.
26:30 casters kinda lost it there hahahaha
once again, no protoss
People are still playing this??? 😮 Feels like old school now
Its such a good game still, with a really active playerbase!
MARU NATIONNN
I know I'm being a salty zerg player here, but it's kind of amazing how Dark was just ahead in workers for the entirety of game 1 and still never even really came close to winning that game. I know Maru is obviously godlike but just seemed like that game was still very one sided
Who are the casters?
Tasteless and State
26:03 why wouldn’t you target the ghost academy with that Nydus? Ghosts are strong against everything Zerg has I would have taken that out first.
1. Ghost academy is a 1.5 tier tech, cheap, doesnt take long to rebuild.
2. If ghosts are already queued in the barracks, losing the academy doesn't immediately stop the production, so killing the building has less effect.
my opinion
Wow dark ? Getting beaten ? Jesus .
So I am not so much in sc2 anymore. Who replaced Artosis?
A new/old guy - State. Quite funny to watch, but no one is Artosis.
i hate to see maru play now cause he loses to scarlett but fights up with dark...is this real? or is sc2 wrestling now?
Maru the best !!!!
Commentators totally got Game 5 wrong haha
Ghosts so op
The great underdog race pulls though one more time cutting though round after round of overpowered Zerg and Protoss and holding the line.
Overpowered. Suuure buddy.
When every infantry unit has a single spell that basically wins fights, Stim needs to be nerfed.
state of terran race:a dumbed down version of starcraft where macro isnt strictly necessary. its designed for people whos worse so they would have an easier time. afterall most majority of players are bad and blizzard need to keep them interested. why do you think terran is the most noob-friendly race anyways?
@@dwdjs289lol I sincerely hope you're joking.
Can't decide whether Dark choked or just threw the games..
4:26 my man its KY-tinous, originating from French/Greek chitine/khiton. KYtin, KYtinous. I know the caster wont read this comment, but maybe someone else will learn something new today.
I suggest a nerf for Terren medivacs pick up as fast as they drop.
Maru Nukes himself ver2023
Siege tanks sucks so badly now. Lol 2 siege tanks couldn't handle 5 lings from 32:05
I just lost 6 times in a row today. Gimmicky units that kill whole armies in one second like widow mines ruin the game. Like seeker missiles all over again. A ball of mutas shouldn't die in two seconds
Terrano joga muito.
I won't get tired watching marmar vs dardar.... Always a championship match worthy
Whwreeeeee the fuckkkk is artosisssssss
Can you make it less obvious?, By the time we make it to game 5 we already get to know who wins.
Must be nice to produce dirt cheap fast running fast attacking units and send them to harass mining
First!
dark got pretty close on this one, but just slim enough... Idk if Maru will hit an 8th
Good games, i honestly dont even know why Dark even tries, there is no way he can win against terran, let alone Maru's terran.
Maru wins ahain surprise surprise ! Terran is imba
The terrans benefit tremendously in terms of resources.
Thanks to MULE, I spend less resources on SCV and only have 1 type of mechanic shield-up, so there is a lot of resource benefit
Blizzard have to block the Battle Cruiser for 5 seconds from using the Yamato Cannon and Tactical Jump
LIBERATOR & Ghost Sniper so OOOOOOPPPPPP.
On the other hand, Protoss & Zerg need to invest more in ground and air defense upgrades respectively
Even Zerg & Protoss' defense towers cannot recover resources, but Terran has another resource benefit with the bunker recovery function
In terms of resources, Protoss & Zerg are at a huge disadvantage overall
The zerg is still garbage
INFESTOR skill Deleted but Ghost skill always non Deleted!!!!WTH!
Zerg units are expensive to upgrade and take a long time to complete
The tech building is also expensive, but you have to invest 50 more minerals called drones there and pay 50 minerals again to produce the lost drone
Are the zerg a cheap tribe? Fukshieeeeet. Zerg most expensive and inefficient tribe
Zerg adds minerals and gas when transforming units
No race is more expensive than the Zerg
One last thing on my mind.
Terran Cyclone & Battle Cruiser can auto-attack
Protoss Phoenix & Carrier can auto-attack
Zerg have no such units
Blizzard needs to patch these issues quickly
nonono, please delete the zerg
SC2 only requires Terran and Protoss
Blizzard Always just trash balance thank you so much!
Dark is too passive!
Dark felt pretty weak in this series. Not much of a competition vs the best Terran in the world.
Especially with the state of Terran these days
1:53 That was just stu(pid) , that was close
Is it me or half of the pro matches are TvZ
I mean, I've seen many Protoss players getting obliterated, if that accounts for something.
Lol so bad by dark, just put a diamond leaguer in
Serreal would've won
Ghost too OP. 100 HP is too much. needs to be 50 or 60.
It is so clear that Terran is OP
Nah Zerg is OP
at top level as Maru ghost looks like need a nerf
They need a nerf for sure
Maru with raven and ghost is a whole lot different from GMs.
@Glass_Half_Full were balancing for pros not casual players
@@sc2youtube744 funny you said that, because the reason the Protoss got nerfed recently was due to how they are dominating the GM ranking, despite having weak presence in the pro level.
@tigera6 oh really? That seems incredibly misguided to balance a 10+ old game based on amateurs rather than people actually using the game to make their living...
Also, I don't doubt it. I'm a protoss main and I've always said protoss is by far the easiest and most OP race at lower levels (I'm in Diamond). I'm not surprised all the way up to GM its still op but at the real pro level it's absolutely underpowered.
zerg late game is so weak
Literally not, zerg have an answer for everything. If you know Maru a little, you know when that guy in his best day look behind in a match, the reality is they even.
Not every Gm can pull it out so constantaly like Maru.
Some of these comments... typical terran players, even when they win they complain that they did not win hard enough. "Zerg imba"
Vs zerg, you just need to take one bad fight and this is game over for you.
But vs terrans, a zerg can take several bad fight but still come back easily.
@@soligaming5729 bronze league hero spotted
@@dwdjs289 nope that is a fact like it or not.
@@soligaming5729 yes, it's by design, a fully maxed Zerg army is generally weaker than a Terran's. Zerg unit costs and larva mechanic account for this. They have their timing windows, and so do you.
@@gooel I agree with that but that make mistake more forgivable than terrans and toss
every tvz ghosts win , its getting boring
no man. before getting the ghosts, zerg are overwhelming, non stop expanding.
