@@Benn1to ohh I know what mean, keeping the top comment spoiler free. I thought you were referring the to VOD title itself. ASL spoils the titles for Ro8 and up, a bit inconvenient if you fall behind.
The map pool change was probably the most impactful thing that happened. Maru might have had an off day or might not be accustomed to the new maps so upsets like this aren't too surprising.
@@fst534 , he has done this in the past, choosing trash builds. His build choices really give it away. If he did his god-mode plays, he would surely destroy this group. But he clearly cannot sustain such high-level play always.. such is the reality of so many top level Terran micro players.
perhaps I do believe solar def maru was an upset i didn't see coming. i also know scarlett's strength is tvz and her weakness is pvz with a neutral in the mirror matchup. def saw her losing to solar well before the 17-1 stat was thrown out there. so sad she was one map away from advancing better luck next time. prob the only current foreigner id root for over my fellow koreans
The winner for me was the guy with a photo of an Ultralisk Solar with solar panels, a burning sun in the background and the caption "Solar has the power."
Ima be honest, it was hard to get used to State after watching tastosis my entire life. But he started to win me over. Great games guys. Keep up the awesome casting.
Yikes! GSL must have caught e-cooties from ASL: both circuits are having crazy seasons. GG's, this has been a phenomenal year of StarCraft! Can't wait to see Stats play!
I just... That was awesome. Probably my most favourite round of the year, Maru definitely first game just ran his standard build, And paid for it, 2nd game, His timing attack just didnt pan out. So good on Scarlett for reading the situation too.
Yep. Maru throwing some fairly inept builds out today just... confused me. I guess I can kinda understand why he did the 4 rax, considering how well he hid it, but... I really don't think it's been a particularly good build when it's been used... ever? Same with hellbat builds - I don't think I've seen a hellbat build work since 2013, but people keep doing them and it confuses me.
Just a fun little thing that made me laugh. When the commentators slip just ever so slightly in the heat of the game, and say ‘the Terran army’ in a PvZ game lol… @ ~1:11:32
Let me see if I got it. Did Maru try to use Byun's tactics to beat Scarlet? Doesn't she regularly train against Byun using the same tactics Maru tried to use?
that game 2 of solar vs maru was solar getting revenge for that game he lost vs parting a few gls's ago great to see some closer on that mini-story ark :D .....
!!!Spoilers below warning!!! I watch mostly foreign scene sc2, but today decided to watch a bit of GSL, and imho Maru seems badly out of shape, im surprised no one is saying this. I was expecing to see the fabled GSL Maru, and i definitely didnt. Yes the Creator, Scarlett and Solar played really well, specially Creator, but Maru just made so many mistakes, it was surprising at top level.
Thank god Maru is out of the gsl. Now, someone else is gonna take the gsl for once lol. Congrats on Creator on the advance and good fight from Scarlett
**SPOILER** I'm absolutely thrilled to see Maru eliminated, and FIRST!! I'm tired of predictable one-sided tournaments, now it'll be an actual contest.
Tasteless: "Creator takes game number 1" State without missing a beat: "All tied up 1 to 1" Classic Tasteless... at least he remembers to wear pants sometimes.
Maru has tried that stim all-in versus zerg so many times and it never works. He tried it last season in the finals against Dark. I wonder why he keeps trying it.
I feel like the stim at 29:50 is what cost Maru the game. Scarlett stalled a lot by running all of those queens away and severely reduced the value Maru got for trading away so much HP on his marines.
he was dead either way, its 2:1 lings vs marines, scarlet could have taken a little damage on the hatchery to wait for the next wave of lings and cleared the marines a little more cost effectively or if they were full, and also if he didnt stim the queens then the lings would have had more time to hatch anyway
Bump to support spoiler-free VoDs
bump
Bumped and liked.
ASL needs this 😂
@@MitchemousPrime I actually got this idea from a guy who's been doing this the last couple rounds of ASL
@@Benn1to ohh I know what mean, keeping the top comment spoiler free. I thought you were referring the to VOD title itself. ASL spoils the titles for Ro8 and up, a bit inconvenient if you fall behind.
GSL staff, i love you all from the bottom of my heart
thank you for keeping GSL going!

spoilers as the top comment are NOT appreciated.
What exactly is spoiled by the time stamps? He doesn't list the winners, losers, or finals @@zachansen8293
Thanks you to everyone that make GSL POSSIBLE!!
this
This was an insanely hype first day of GSL
So happy for Creator. All his hard work finally paying off. Also I have to say State has improved a lot in casting games.
state was better than tasteless or RT from day 1
Let's GOOOO!! So stoked for season 3! Can't wait!
That was a PAINFUL last game to finish everything off.
Especially after the first one!
The last match reminded me of one of Day[9]'s old teachings: if the opponent is doing something strange, attack them.
The map pool change was probably the most impactful thing that happened. Maru might have had an off day or might not be accustomed to the new maps so upsets like this aren't too surprising.
Judging just by his build choices, I think he is taking a break
It was really some unusual mistakes by him
@@fst534 , he has done this in the past, choosing trash builds. His build choices really give it away. If he did his god-mode plays, he would surely destroy this group. But he clearly cannot sustain such high-level play always.. such is the reality of so many top level Terran micro players.
@@wotwot6868 yes it seems but I am not only speaking about the builds itself, also some micromanagement
perhaps I do believe solar def maru was an upset i didn't see coming. i also know scarlett's strength is tvz and her weakness is pvz with a neutral in the mirror matchup. def saw her losing to solar well before the 17-1 stat was thrown out there. so sad she was one map away from advancing better luck next time. prob the only current foreigner id root for over my fellow koreans
Music/song: Infected - As Death Circles Around Us
Tasteless calling that grunge when it as more nu metal made me eye roll a bit.
Thank god the GSL writers are back from their strike
lol
Hecate in Greek mythology is the goddess of boundaries and transitions. She is associated with darkness, the New Moon, necromancy and ghosts.
Spooky Halloween map!
What the heckaty is the trinity doing there?
Thank you for making this watchable on TH-cam!
GSL never fails to deliver the action! went and subbed on the afreecatv platform to help keep this awesome sport alive
The winner for me was the guy with a photo of an Ultralisk Solar with solar panels, a burning sun in the background and the caption "Solar has the power."
6:26:19 is the time stamp. Though I might be too late for anyone to appreciate it.
Ima be honest, it was hard to get used to State after watching tastosis my entire life. But he started to win me over. Great games guys. Keep up the awesome casting.
State is the best GSL caster, he is closer to Korean style.
agreed i prefer artosis. the casters def have to shy away from making predictions seems like they are wrong 90% of the time lol
GSL please link to the next group in the description!
I always love watching the interviews with players. thanks for continuing to do that!
Thank you guys for still posting spoiler free VOD's.
12:00 Guy with special sign if you are reading this - The meta sign is hilarious, I paused and rewinded so I could read the whole thing.
"maru stuck on cavemen tech" hahaha tastless is so cool :D
Yikes! GSL must have caught e-cooties from ASL: both circuits are having crazy seasons.
GG's, this has been a phenomenal year of StarCraft! Can't wait to see Stats play!
loved seeing so many international audience members. fun audience cams.
i love casters and I still loving Scarlett Too. Long life SC2!!!!
No spoiler comment!
32:54 min love how her smile says I can`t believe it! xD
gifted wins
OMGG I am on game 3 cheering so hard for Scarlet, I hope she can make it!
F****! Not the first tiem she always amakes, and I was sure iot would be ZvZ which seems to be the ugliest matchup between pros.
F. that
@@reismw I like ZvZ a lot but the skills difference made for short less interesting games.
The song that plays at 9:58 is called As Death Circles Around Us by my friends in the band Infected give them a listen to they make some banger songs
finally some sc2 action!!!
i really like the music theyre playing during the intermissions
I'm just at 34 Min. but the scarlett-game vs maru blow me away already! Soooo strong! GSL best show ever ❤
More to come keep watching and enjoy. 😊
I just... That was awesome. Probably my most favourite round of the year, Maru definitely first game just ran his standard build, And paid for it, 2nd game, His timing attack just didnt pan out. So good on Scarlett for reading the situation too.
Incredible matches Scarlett vs Maru omg 👏👏 Congrats
Great start for season 3 ! Love GSL ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤ thanks for bringing back GSL !! 🎉
4 barracks is this season's hellbat timing. Looks scary but feels inept
Yep. Maru throwing some fairly inept builds out today just... confused me. I guess I can kinda understand why he did the 4 rax, considering how well he hid it, but... I really don't think it's been a particularly good build when it's been used... ever? Same with hellbat builds - I don't think I've seen a hellbat build work since 2013, but people keep doing them and it confuses me.
Thanks for fixing the chained border yall :)
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Guyri getting cut with the budget cuts is probably the biggest loss to GSL
Her beauty must be costly
New season let's goooo! Recently ran out of premier content to watch. Such a good time for SC2.
Creator vs Scarlett series was insane
wow
GSL Baby LETS GO!!
12:03 I thought that was Mike from Red Letter Media for a solid two seconds.
1st Scarlett's game is great! like it!
GSL back, let's go!
Absolutely hell effing yeahh!!! Thank you so much!
I'm so hyped!!!
God damn, such a good set of games. GSL hype!!! Kinda sucks to see Maru crumble, but it makes for a more interesting tournament. Happy for Creator!
Maru and Serral getting eliminated early makes the tournament more exciting always
Does anyone know if the song playing during the Chilsung Cider commercial is an actual song or just for the commercial?
Maru's Elimination has inspired the balance team to BUFF terran more. -sincerely the balance team.
Please don't put spoilers here.
@@Washburne21 we sincerely apologize. -the balance team
watchout, next terran buff you know they will make helions slower and reduce their range
WE BACK LOVE TO SEE IT
hey, may I ask:
why is it only the probes that screws with other's mining? can't SCVs or drones do the same?
protoss try to be as greedy as possible. So they scout with worker more often than other races.
oh I meant like, when the probes mine opponent main's minerals to disrupt their mining@@ngrader
@@hyc126 All races can do this, Protoss don't need to sacrifice their workers for building time so Protoss gets to do it more often than the others.
Holy shit Scarlett's first game was nuts
Maru seems to be always caughing. I hope, he isn't sick.
Nah, its just boredom. This kid is the most docile person ive seen lol
Scarlett APM is amazing wow
Just a fun little thing that made me laugh.
When the commentators slip just ever so slightly in the heat of the game, and say ‘the Terran army’ in a PvZ game lol…
@ ~1:11:32
Wow, surprising result.
thank you @afreecaTV!!!! for keeping the dream alive!!!
Awesome matches!
A gift from the gods
is this with the new patch? i didnt hear if they stated that or not
Yes new patch and maps.
at 1:39:39 why did the forcefields instantly disappear?
GSL has started feeling more like WWE
Let me see if I got it. Did Maru try to use Byun's tactics to beat Scarlet? Doesn't she regularly train against Byun using the same tactics Maru tried to use?
scarlet > maru
Well the fungal WAS pretty fortunate…
❤❤ Gracias ❤❤
lets keep this one spicy! great games
that game 2 of solar vs maru was solar getting revenge for that game he lost vs parting a few gls's ago great to see some closer on that mini-story ark :D .....
amazing games!
Love the music GSL 🎶🎼🎸❤
New season, new patch, new maps, GSL GSL GSL! 💥💥💥
Scarlett Fighting!!
All these guys have been watching uthermal vids
Match 2 was kinda nice to see, especially game 2
Audio isn't sync @ 2:01:04 not sure from which point..
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. I'm not sure if the casters even noticed that.
It is back!!!
Wow!! Go go Scarlett !!!!
so anyone know what happen to rogue?
i think military
I don't think Maru's pretending guys
that first game OMG
no no no that SECOND game OMG!!!

He had a hot date he had to get ready for lmao
the cabal told him to take it easy
@@sonatab2646 lol maybe
Thank god Maru is out of the gsl. Now, someone else is gonna take the gsl for once lol. Congrats on Creator on the advance and good fight from Scarlett
NASL sound guy returns
Maru needed a vacation
He seems sick. He was in another match, and he was 3:0ed by MaxPax.
@@travisli5632 he just sucks.
Looks like we need a show match bo7 knife fight between Solar and Elazer…
was losing my mind tryingto find the alternate sound source that is yelling.. its the ould asf koreans haha
wow creator ftw!
**SPOILER**
I'm absolutely thrilled to see Maru eliminated, and FIRST!! I'm tired of predictable one-sided tournaments, now it'll be an actual contest.
Tasteless: "Creator takes game number 1"
State without missing a beat: "All tied up 1 to 1"
Classic Tasteless... at least he remembers to wear pants sometimes.
GSL best thing to happen in RTS games.
Love u Maru! But Scarlett wow just wow!!!! GG
Does anyone know the title of the song at 1:28:33

My favorite 2 zergs in the group? Oh man... get the lotion ready.
Hot6 guy was funny af
Maru has tried that stim all-in versus zerg so many times and it never works. He tried it last season in the finals against Dark. I wonder why he keeps trying it.
If GSL had a locker room Maru would be snapped by several wet towels after game set 1
Maru creative builds show the he remains a top 10 player in the SC2.
you are one funny dude
Does the color look lighter than normal to anyone else?
I feel like the stim at 29:50 is what cost Maru the game. Scarlett stalled a lot by running all of those queens away and severely reduced the value Maru got for trading away so much HP on his marines.
he was dead either way, its 2:1 lings vs marines, scarlet could have taken a little damage on the hatchery to wait for the next wave of lings and cleared the marines a little more cost effectively or if they were full, and also if he didnt stim the queens then the lings would have had more time to hatch anyway
Maru makes huge mistake. No medievac and let marines go into one corner.
