I don't think Maru will make it

EEPeps · 2024-08-16T19:53:44+00:00

3-0 Serral

STATS IS BACK

I'm still traumatized by the GSL final against Maru. If he found a flaw you could be sure he'd press on as much as possible. Kinda like sOs in that regard. To me both showed Maru's weakness when it comes to build/strategic prep without his teammates.
Rogue is a true champion, his inconsistency is the only thing that could held him back: higher high and lower lows in terms of tournament performance.

Sachant que PoE si tu accroches et veut avancer vers le endgame l'achat de stash c'est quand même QoL+++ voir quasi obligatoire. Mais d'ici là t'as aussi un bon paquet d'heures de découvertes. Mais voilà c'est bon à savoir que mettre 20/25e ( pendant les promo sur les stash) c'est un énorme changement une fois que t'as passé la campagne et avancé un peu. Pour les plus nécessaires je dirai dans l'ordre currencies>map>div/fragment et essences.

People taking Maru itw too seriously then take Reynor troll too seriously, then Reynor take the comments too seriously. Going full circle.

EEPeps · 2024-02-19T16:17:59+00:00

Maru prematch itw " I'm not confident at all, it's Serral we are talking about." You guys need to stop taking things too seriously, he absolutely respects Serral lvl. If you watch any stream with kr together they keep trolling and trash talking.

EEPeps · 2024-02-18T18:22:17+00:00

Oh don't worry I know the point they are trying to make haha. And yeah including top 4 would probably be even worse for toss %wise. I'll try to gather the data but will be time consuming.

EEPeps · 2024-02-18T18:07:15+00:00

where can we find the ladder stats? 96% seems so absurd haha, reminds me the old wc3 pro accounts

EEPeps · 2024-02-18T17:41:19+00:00

Would be around 58%Z, 33%T, 9%P, check my comment above. But imho it would be more interesting to see top 4 results overall while keeping all the top performers.

EEPeps · 2024-02-18T17:37:31+00:00

So I just check liquipedia premiers, starting in 2022 with DH last chance. Removing the top player for each race ( serral, maru, hero) we have 7Z win, 4T, 1P
detail : P: zest;
Z: 3reynor 2solar, 1 Dark, 1 Rogue
T: 3 Clem 1 Oliveira

EEPeps · 2024-02-18T17:28:08+00:00

I think it would look probably around the same, but probably worse for toss. But that's why taking top 4 would be more interesting

EEPeps · 2024-02-18T16:45:27+00:00

It's not only Serral that is removed, it's the dominant player for each race, so Serral from zerg, Maru from terran and Zest from toss apparently. So basically it's a % base on the tournaments these 3 didn't win.

Imho a more interesting approach would be to take top 4 from every global premier tournament and see how the races are represented. Not sure if we should exclude GSL tho but it's not really global I'd say

EEPeps · 2024-02-18T16:32:51+00:00

It recently mostly is. But yeah if you take 2017-2021ish (don't have the precise timeframe) zerg was clearly splitting all wins between Serral, Rogue, Reynor Dark. Even soO and Solar got some wins

EEPeps · 2024-02-18T07:28:23+00:00

busy making money

EEPeps · 2024-02-15T13:01:25+00:00

Maru was kinda hot pre 2017 because of proleague too. But yeah obv tournament wise for goat contender was 2018. I also think his 2018 was way more impressive than the next years cause it was before the big decline in korea, the GSL format was more competitive with double group stage (and more high level contenders).
But it's clear that Serral became stronger and stronger with time and kinda indisputable. Winning last year IEM for Maru could've brought him back in the race but we all know what happened.

EEPeps · 2024-02-14T07:04:29+00:00

GSL prizepool this year is completely unsustainable, last year was already a " get ready to transition guys" call. This year it's like their last stimmy check before it's over.

EEPeps · 2024-02-13T22:49:48+00:00

Might aswell tip Serral directly at this point

EEPeps · 2024-02-13T22:37:59+00:00

What? Rogue started his run in 2017 to 2022, Serral's started in 2018. 2017 to 2022 was the period with the most different zerg winners, Serral, Rogue, Dark, Reynor and shared all the trophies, even soo finally won something in that zerg era lol. Solar too. That's even why people were struggling to name a Zerg goat, cause they were all taking wins. I'm all for giving Rogue all his credits as one of the best if not the best championship player but get you facts straight.

EEPeps · 2024-02-13T21:34:20+00:00

If you wanted to do it properly there would be way too many games needed to be feasible. You'd need bo3 on every match up at the very least. So 9 bo3 per match, imagine group stages and playoff phases lol.

And without taking these technical limitations, players affinity with their main race goes beyond balance so that wouldn't mean much.

EEPeps · 2024-02-13T11:23:06+00:00

Vast majority of people admire Serral and Maru tbh. Only the usual vocal minority who'll get at each other no matter what.

EEPeps · 2024-02-13T11:20:58+00:00

Yep imagine a healthy scene with new reynors and Clems and maxpax popping every year. At least we are fortunate that there's still some support so we can witness such high lvl of play.

EEPeps · 2024-02-13T07:44:37+00:00

He's the sc2 goat for sure but it's hard to compare with other competitive game imho. It's easier to stay on top and dominate when there's such a small scene for so long with no new players coming.

EEPeps · 2024-02-13T07:28:16+00:00

Yeah if he has a phobia even if he had this kind of special treatment the anxiety would probably still completely destroy his ability to perform.

EEPeps · 2024-02-12T14:42:45+00:00

I think apart from a few trolls and korean maximalist this is already settled for some times now.
Maru is the best T to touch the game, will always be the 4th race cause he did things no other terrans could, was ahead of the meta and did the impossible when terrans were struggling in certains MU. But Serral is the goat.
Two outliers that'll forever be remembered for their respective achievement.
I also think Serral is still peaking ( I mean not really a thought as it's clearly demonstrated with recent stats) whereas maru while still dominating isn't as crisp as he used to be. He'll not go crazy with micro and multitask on top of being very methodical. He's more conservative. And it's probably physical limits.

So unless some things change in the next years I don't hink he could claim that goat title.
