StarCraft 2 is a military science fiction real-time strategy video game developed and released by Blizzard Entertainment.
Sorry for the lack of videos the past week. My focus is still to upload highlights and games that are actually good, over mediocre ones.
I do watch basically all tournaments so if something happens I’ll make sure to stay on top. If you have video suggestions, reach out to me on Twitter (@SC2HL or @DTVerweij)
Wait you're not an official channel ?
I am not! I do pay a fee to be able to use the content, but not related to StarCraft
@@SC2HL well very clean content and edits then.
@@SC2HL you do an amazing job!
Really love your channel. I don't even play SC2, but your edits make it look fun
12:55 68 kill tank, what a champion
Maru is like the cornerstone of this channel, whenever he is having a good day he is a highlight factory
Honestly, the way he plays the game is mesmerising to watch
Maru is probably the best defensive terran ever. Time after time he is tremendously outmined by his zerg opponent but takes incredible trades vs them. But I am concerned for the match up if the best zerg players' best option is just to a-click a death ball and hope they break the line.
The matchup is fine. Maru is the only Terran with a lategame that looks anywhere this strong, and even the other top Zergs have plenty of options to dispatch him in the early-midgame.
@@hyperonestarcraftghosts are wayyyyyyyyy too strong
@@Pzychosis Bro. Ghosts are Terrans only answer to late game Zerg.
They're not too strong, you're watching an A tier Zerg run into a brick wall of an S tier Terran.
If Solar just focused on denying Maru ever getting a 6th instead of spending thousands of gas on killing ONE base while he has the entire map to mine out then he'd likely win.
Zerg has the incredible benefit where a insane bank is able to be spent and you can be maxed out almost instantly while Terran has to build everything based on production.
If Solar mines the entire map, waits for maru to kill him, he could remake his army 10 times more and faster than Maru can.
@@DrCaesars ghosts are every answer to the zero late game is what you meant*
@@DrCaesars
Solar also had plenty of chances to make an entrenched counter-siege position (make some spine and spore crawlers with that massive creep spread to cover a ball of Brood Lords) yet for some reason kept on throwing expensive Baneling masses despite the move not working several times in a row.
I see Maru I click. Life is simple life is good
Life was in prison though
@@staticallX unlimited internet access to porn. Wow and star craft
With raynor, life could be dream
@@filipbitala2624 naaa I am toxic I need chaos in my life. Maru makes me feel like he could lose. Raynor I know he is going to win.
The Jedi-Terran.. does it again. 😎👌🏼
12:30 that siege thank riiincing kills
14:38
Solar: WHY WON"T YOU DIE!!?
Maru: haha! Nanomachine son!
Rules of warfare: 1. Never invade Russia during the winter. 2. Never get into a land war in Afghanistan. 3. Never try to attack Maru's entrenched bases.
Correction: Never invade Russia if there might be winter during the next 5 years.
Nah. Solar just sucks
Unless you're the mongols
@@sebastianyarrick2041 different times mate.
@@dariensisko0 That's old story. Now : Never invade Russian "or" there might be (nuclear) winter during the next 5 years
thanks for all the effort, i haven't played a game of SC since 2010 but look forward to these videos!
Let’s play sometime ;)
That medivac home to the main base around 05:00 to defend against the muta sneak attack was incredible. Not sure how he managed to predict that.
Solar, king of the epic collapse, never fails to disappoint
lmaoo
Solar is a good player too, unless he's against maru apparently the guy can't catch a break.
Spoiler -. -
I'm kinda addicted to watching SC2 vids now haha Maru is still an absolute beast!
4:50 Mary senses the mutas coming to the main and immediately takes a drop there
Really not sure why Solar didn’t replace a few of the ultras with vipers in game 1. Sure, the ghosts snipe ‘‘em but being able to yoink 2-4 tanks or thors so the lings and banes have a way easier time is the optimal play, right? I’m not the only who thinks that am I?
I think it works really well on ladder, but what solar and other zergs are thinking is that snipe outranges abduct and terran prolly kills vipers after the first abduct. ( But like if you're throwing banes like its nothing then its it was probably worth it tbh.)
To be fair anything was worth trying than mass banes once the initial bane runby didnt work out
Solar kept trading too inefficiently and was way too impatient with taking engagements, didnt really pressure other bases as well and eventually Maru just outtraded Solar’s 8 base advantage
Wasnt Solar's concede the first game a little early?
i wanted to hear more post match commentary on that 1
Watching Maru play is so satisfying. Even when he loses, he goes out with a spectacular bang. Watching him hold off waves of Zerg attacks in game 1 was insane. You can never count that man out with his impeccable micro.
"If I had a dollar for every hatch cancelled, I could buy a gallon of gasoline" XD
Maru is such a beast. I love watching his games!
i love maru and solars rivalry always ends in epic late games
Its not really a rivalry when 1 guy (Maru) keep beating the other most of the time. It was so bad that Solar literally asked others to not pick him into Maru group when there was still the GSL group nomination.
@@tigera6 ngl i pretty much feel that way too but still like to think of it as a rivalry since they match up all the time lol
14:39 Look at solar's face.. He must be starting to feel that this game is going seriously wrong.
Look at Maru lick his lips at that timestamp
8:00 Feels like Solar should just attack the bottom part of the map where there probably are way less units for Maru there.
Oh Tastosis actually mentions it haha
Game 2 was so well played by Maru
The thing is Maru has 3 Sensor tower and always able to keep track of the movement of the Zerg army on the map and making the right movement to match that of the Zerg, plus he got lots of scan to check on whenever he want to. Yeah, Solar could have attack elsewhere, but ultimately his micro wasnt good enough.
Maru’s map tracking is superior to anyone
there are 2 planetary down there it would be suicide
@@tianhaopeif1109 It's more suicide to attack the place where Maru's entire army exists than to attack a place with only two planetaries and probably no ghost there.
@@Necroneer should message Solar and let him know :) Maybe he'll share the next prize pool with you.
I feel like Maru has practiced that strat in the second game just a few times 😆 His timing was flawless.
3:03 dat tank save
7:38 we all have been that queen )
Maru won that first game through sheer demoralization. Solar slammed his head into the brick Maru wall until he couldn’t take it anymore and left.
Ok, Listen I completely agree with the point that SC is hard and "have you tried doing what the best player in the world does?" isn't helpful, but sometimes a pro player will see that the enemy has 15 ghosts and then START making Broodlords. And....am I the crazy one here? Cause they got absolutely shredded in their first fight.
Must have been stressful as it looked like a throw in g1. But likely there was a reason to keep pushing the left base.
He very nearly won, like they were saying, I think that's where his head was at. Maru is so good at soaking damage and keeping up his micro in long skirmishes, though, he barely squeaked through.
@@missbelled6700 and Maru didn't spend all his money, so solar thought, he might be at the edge of killing. But Maru is great at baiting the Zerg with a mineral floating technique, that only really high skilled players can do. Most people, that do float minerals, do float them, because they mess up their macro. Also you dont wanna be floating, if you are on the aggressive side.
Did Solar really need to tap out in that first game? His eco was still in good shape
I think he felt that maru was so efficient for so long, and had so many ghosts (one of the most efficient units in the game, and one which bassically forces solar into a ling bane style due them sniping all his ultras and broods) that solar didn't think he was capable of breaking maru before he was bassically mined out.
dude look at the army count,. not the supply,.. most of solar supply was only workers not army,..
We done know how much mining Solar got left on his 8 base, remember he lost like 75k of resource up to that point, even if he mined out all 8 of his bases, he could only get around 115k of resource, and aroud 20-25k of that already spent on the infrastructure (building and upgrade), that mean Solar only got like 15k of resource left un-mined at the very most, that means hes almost broke.
@@kenjiyamamoto423 he got time to build another army before losing too much. Just sac a base and go for some ling run by to buy time. He still controls many mineral locations while terran just started getting a little bit more mining going, He also just finished a bunch of lings and an ultra. 1k income lead is no joke
@@PascalSWE no its no enough because terran also still has so many snipers,.
his pro he knows he is already done,. Maru won,.
15:15 maru 40214 res lost vs solar 72936 res lost
🤖 The Jedi-Terran.. doing his thing again. 😎👌🏼
Very surprised how rarely pros heal or repair units
I think solar left a little too early in the first game. Could have attempted counter attacks to bottom bases, then following up with attacks on the too, I think he had the economy for it
Solar, maybe just ....try something different? He had a huge bank advantage, he wasn't trying to do anything else except smash through the front door. Send harassments at the terran at all parts of the front line, spread them out.
yes...maybe Nydus with Lurkers / Swarms
Yeah game 1 was so infuriating to watch, maru had like 0 units at his bottom bases, just send 30 lings man
@@filipedoria9561 or vipers
Lmao you're the guy they were making fun of
"just make better decisions lol"
k thanks dude.
@@missbelled6700 I didn't say "just make better decisions" I specifically suggested some alternatives. It's clear that going through the front door wasn't working and with each attack he weakened his position.
Solar played poorly here.
Maru had a plan B
Plan B: NUKE
Solar just ragequit that first game XD
He was absolutely not dead... tho with how frustrating that game must have been, I can understand him quitting to save some of his hair.
you dont understand, he has no lurkers , good amount of broodlord , maru already has thor ghost and mech army , you think its easy to tackle them without lurkers?and do you think its some kind of diamond league ladders where opponent will wait you tech up and upgrade abit before decides to attack you?
Maru already started to take control of the game, and he will not let Solar mine that top left base anymore, so Solar will be broke in the next 2-3 minutes after that if he couldnt get another base. I think most of his bases was mining out.
@@teeee8534 Lurker is the absolute WORST unit to fight into that Terran army, especially control by Maru. It maybe counter-intuitive but the best units to smash that army is actually LingBaneHydra imo.
you dont get it, it was over
Had Solar seen the income tab/ supply/ production and bank he would not have left the game
What a throw.
Time to learn that game 2 terran build
Great games. And I believe it's Byun you guys were trying to think of.
Question, did all those helliens come from the fabric that´s building the reactor? 0:42
maru's tank position
I don't understand why Solar GG'd that game. Maru was being out resourced and all Solar had to do was get a squad to hit the ghosts from the rear and the defense would be broken.
MVP = Ghost
Ah yes the 3 races of SC2, Zerg, Protoss and Maru
Great game design when a snipe is WAY stronger than a nuke.
Solar: loses 6 whole army’s and fails to break the line.
The casters: solar is still in a good position, he might still win!
Solar still had map control so even I agreed with the casters
@sc2hl Could you make the background music slightly louder? There's moments in the game when not much is going on and it feels quiet.
Is there an option to see the apm?
Is this map tileset for map 1 supposed to represent an underwater setting?
Game 1, yes
Solar was like byun in game 1. Just keeps attacking until he loses.
Solar attack is solid ... it's just Maru is so AMAZING 💯💞👍
nah. a rookie wou've known to attack from a different angle...especially because you're using banelings not broodlords.
Ghosts are pretty damn op at the pro level
Seriously, they can almost outrun banelings, face-tank them if do get close enough, can easily gun down any zergling surround, and will kill any larger unit from 10 range away
it makes me sigh when I see how disgustingly cost efficent they are in the late game in those pro games, looks so unplayable for the toss/zerg
Honestly I think banelings are the worst unit to ever become a thing. The fact that pro players do such good splits versus them is amazing.
Maru is so sick
how is that kid so dam good
Maru might be a robot
Great games, but Snipe/ghosts need a massive nerf
ghost is the only unit that can fight against late game zerg
Stupid ghosts... Too fricken good.
its gonna be a sad day when maru retires :(
Im a terran, and i root for maru, but man solar throw that first game so hard. he could just max out and attack bottom right.
you're right. if Solar maxes out 200/200 with sososososososo many banelings, he can destruct all of things even if there are 2 planetary fortresses like Maru made
without lurkers , no way for solar to face maru's army composition, you think maru will give him time to tech up ?
@@rexekim3397 The thing is, Maru already got 3 Sensor Towers up, so he will know when Solar try to get the army to that lower base and will move his defense accordingly. The issue with fighting Maru turtle defense is that, he seems to have enough units EVERYWHERE, which is not the case but he just match the movement of the opponent army so well. But yeah, you will have to attack multiple locations at once and hope that Maru will slip up somehow.
@@tigera6 yes, I also think Solar didn't want to draw attention to the bottom right as he was "illegally" stealing from what should be Terran base in split map scenario. If he lost a fight near that area, Maru would just clean it in an instant.
Please nationwars highlights
Please reynor destroying solar playing protoss highlights
Rare to see Corruptors and Brood lords lose. Nice, though.
i think ghosts are Way too strong
Is Maru GOAT or what? LoL
Aside from getting beaten by Serral quite often, and Rogue from time to time, I would have to say Yes
This was honestly sad to watch
I really love the casters, and hate the others from ESL
which others?
:)
Who the hell are these caster? That was one hell of a fight in match, and these casters were talking about random shit. One job, casters cast what the players are doing, and especially when thee fight was that intense.
mem
solar is embarrassing
Solar is pro noob
Maru just showing if you don't do anything and just go full defence you can't win against terran no other race can do what terran dose or break it so boring and unbalance
1st
ghost just op. no fun to watch.
Bro..... U skip too much
The best zerg in the world on 9 base vs 5 base terran, and terran wins, talk about balance
Solar is farrrrr from being the best Zerg in the world. Terrible commentary on balance using this match up. Maru and Clem go back and forth being considered the best Terrans so it wasn't a very equal match up, really
@@mnmarler ok, it was very normal and fair the defense with no economy from the terran
@@guivolp well when Solar kept making such sloppy attacks with bad micro then yes, it is fair
loool best zerg in the world ahahaaha
You mean you Can loose the game When you play poorly and your opponent Plays almost perfectly? Yeah such bad balance 😂
Ghosts out here countering every late game Zerg unit. Gonna see another year of this garbage TvZ content until it gets nerfed it seems
Are you happy to watch a full NBA game, or are you happy to watch a game recap? I feel the same way when I'm watching a game, and all of a sudden, you jump in a few minutes later to show us another "battle".
Please stop doing that. Or if you do, make another video with the full game. Thank you. You guys are good at commenting on games. Greetings from Spain.
