@@vender68 The wall was paid for using Terran's minerals, but the protoss took much worse trades because of it, so the protoss paid for the wall ultimately, paid with the loss.
Maru's playstyle is just incredible. He reacts and counterplays you for half an hour until you slowly bleed out. The Terran race also fits his playstyle so perfectly. The sensor towers, the pfs, the scans and all the units which basically scream static defense. I was never anywhere near being a professional player but this seems just so unbeatable.
That ghost at 22:38 solo-sniping that HT was actually the MVP... Wow. Seemed so extra in the moment, but if Zest had two more storms at the end he would've won the fight.
Walls of Liberty, You are Maru and you must build a wall against Mengsk! Heart of the Walls, You are Maru again and you must expand your walls using nukes! Legacy of the Wall, its you breaking the wall of Maru!
I think a dose of reality is in order here. He is good at starcraft. I am not sure this translates to war in general. Also I doubt a war with aliens would be anything but a moment prior to total annihilation, and we would never know how.
Maru is like all 4 billion of you guys need to be sacrificed to bleed the enemy of resources the next 2 billion will die in the final battle. The last 1 billion will enter a golden era the Maru era of humanity
That was a brutal game! great tactic to resist fighting with the vikings, letting his city get saked, then regrouping and counter attacking for the win!
Weird to say, but I'm very proud of zombiegrub's evolution. I remember the EARLIER casting days and now it makes me happy that she is one of the best commentators in the game.
Damn I thought Zest had it for a minute, if only he started building the bottom left base while he was on top of Maru's production he could've held that position I think.
He needed more production earlier too, kept floating 12k resources with a handful of stargates. Could of been pumping out 10 tempests at a time and killed Maru off from half the map away...
It's interesting that the Battle Report lists Interceptors killed on the side of Zest, alongside the Vikings that kills. I am guessing this is due to the fact that the Carrier's death is what triggers the Interceptors to die, so it sees it like Zest suiciding them...?
Holy SHIT 40 minute mech game taking the whole map, in TvP, and it WINS?! (That's 1+ hour in the old timer!) What an epic game, I need to watch it in full, how did I not know about this. I love the state of mech in LotV, more viable and rounded than it's been, and Maru whipping it out occasionally with great results, and great games to watch!
Okay pausing to just throw this out there.. If Zest doesn't make the recall to 1 o'clock and play it out the way he did then maru basically just continues his siege push into the 12 o'clock and Zest loses it OR Zest takes an unfavorable engage and likely loses the game right there. He can also wait it out but ultimately he is going to have to take an unfavorable engage over that siege. The only way around that is some strange situation like what happened (something he absolutely intended/forced and it's an insane testament to this guys skill). At 12:06 where I paused he has lost a lot, yes, but he also gained a lot - and gained a lot MORE than he lost if you ask me as the alternative is losing the game right there and then. This gave him time and options, and continued his game. Cheers!
Between Reynor (Z), Trap (P), and Rogue (Z), there is some very stiff competition for the title of #1. While Maru is undoubtedly the #1 Terran right now (Sorry, Clem fans, but c'mon...), the position of #1 pro is still very much up in the air.
@@WuYixiang couldn't agree more. You really have a point there. I think they all shine in their own ways and that makes SC2 a very competitive and entertaining game.
Can someone tell me why zest didn’t get tempest? Couldn’t he have used them to snipe turrets and Vikings? And wouldn’t a few more high Templar help too? I used to play a lot, but I’m out of the meta.
Because Tempest are absolute garbage in a straight up fight. Build just a couple and you'll get nothing done, build four or five and you'll lose when Maru just runs into you. Not to mention how easy they are to just pop with Vikings thanks to how insanely slow they are to turn around.
They should make the planetary fortress to have an upgrade Into silo drops. For gate defense strategy. With the addition of being able to load marines like a bunker option. Where loading marines prevents construction of SCV.
I don't know what Zest was thinking of going mass stalkers and carriers but alotta high templars would have deleted those Libs and Vikings along with feedback to those Ghosts.
zest has less resource to reproduce his army while attacking maru's main base (normal player will surrender) . Maru still keep fighting by rebuild another base on top right and keep an advantage of abundant resources to build second wave army. Zest also need high mineral and gas to produce carrier and ray too whereas Maru build mass viking /ghost (much cheaper)
this is how you beat airtoss, megaturtle with static, ghost, viking, lib and tanks + mass orbitals, never commit with your vikings until you have bled the protoss dry because templars will destroy your 50 vikings in 2 seconds.
To the commentators' question - why Maru does not attack with all his vikings - high templars are there , and he could not snipe them away, or spread the vikings for attack. Learn the game, please.
.. dude.. I honestly paused again and prob won't finish this video and so cannot tell if you are right/wrong but regardless that last part of the comment completely ruins it for you. Please be a bit more respectful towards people, yea? That wasn't nice at all.
The commentators were extremely 1 sided, Zest was doing a great job, I'd literally see Zest take a base and deny Maru one and It would be a "Bad play, hes so not mobile" and then Maru denies a base and doesn't take one at the same time "THIS IS CLASSIC MARU, WOW OUTSTANDING PLAY, FK VOID RAYS AND I LOVE TERRAN, WOW, RED LOOKS SO GOOD" Like man, Cast a game
@@Tokyo-go2du Never? Check GSL Season 1 2019 GrandFinal, I think Maru countered Classic Tempest with BCs in one of the games, probably game 4 or 5. TY also did something similar against another Protoss, maybe Stats. The idea is to be able to jump BCs behind the Tempest and mess them up. Cant let Tempest keep kiting away and shoot at the BCs.
@@tigera6 I often use carriers to kill vikings. They do a good job if you can already get your interceptors out and they aren't missile turrets nearby. This does makes carriers terrible for attacking Terran bases, but great for defending your side of the map. These days though, I only build tempest and void rays because Terrans at my MMR seems to just love planting a whole forest of missile turrets as soon as they see my Stargate.
@@00x0xx I think on equal army supply and proper control, Viking will beat Carriers. They would just ignore the interceptor and one-shot on one Carrier at a time. The advantage for Skytoss is when you hide 6-8 Carriers at the back and move them out when there only is like 10-15 Vikings from Terran, then they would smash everything.
@@tigera6 lol try that in practise mode and youll see. vikings got no chance, only with turrets to back them up. Maru is one of the only terrans that executes this well

"We're going to build a wall and we're gonna make the protoss pay for it!"

I wouldnt say maru has a “playstyle”
He can play anything and everything,and can adapt really well to maps/balance/any unique situation

But who asked? PogO

But he didn't and Maru destroyed that xeno filth with Terran Might!
Always amazed at Maru's breadth of play. Far more experienced at going deep into the late game against all three races than every other Terran.
Better title "Maru, the hardest Starcraft II Campain"

I was wondering why no tempest.
So much other proffesional terrans just can't copy maru's late game control. Dudes a Chad.
I don't think you know what that means
At this point Maru IS the campaign level

OMG Maru!!!! I'm just beyond speechless of how awesome you play. That defense is absolutely insane. 😱🥳

Vikings actually do more dps to stalkers than marauders.
but vikings are a lot more squishier than marauders because they don't have base armor and can't be healed
Well, its probably Stim Marauder that they were talking about and they do the same damage as Viking to Stalker.

18:55 - 44 vikings!!
