Champion curse plus TL predictions curse plus incoming Artosis curse means that if Maru beats the odds and gets out of this group, he is the GOAT. ...In all seriousness, though, unless the curse causes him to get in a car crash or something, it's hard to imagine its power being strong enough to keep Maru from advancing first here. My guess is that we'll hold in high regard anyone from this group who looks like they could have maybe taken a game off Maru if they'd only made one or two different choices at a critical juncture. | ||

Oh and his WESG also was a TvT final. Can we stop pretending that Maru isn't affected by the strength of his race? | ||

Can we stop pretending that Maru isn't affected by the strength of his race? I'll grant you the SSL title, but we all know that the longest period of time where Maru was indisputably at the top of the terran heap was when Bbyong was the only other terran consistently in the GSL. I take curses extremely super seriously to the absolute maximum extent allowed by the law, and I think it's important to be as statistically accurate as possible in all curse assessments. So I appreciate your critical reflection. The price of excellence is eternal vigilance. | ||

Can we stop pretending that Maru isn't affected by the strength of his race? You can't ignore the fact that he also made top 4 in a ridiculous number of tournaments from late 2013 through the first half of 2014. Which was probably the worst stretch of time terran ever had. Inno couldn't even make ro16s consistently back then. He's always seemed to get the same top 4s regardless of terran being balanced, imba, or complete trash. Which is both bizarre and impressive. | ||
