this thing doesn't work properly on my side of the globe so i'm cheering for y'all here (i also don't have a twit acc that's not banned for extremism lol)

Hey Marc big fan- quick question about why Terrans never drop mules to draw enemy tank fire/splash? It seems like if you dropped a mule or two into his mineral line at 37:42 that would have been massive splash from his two siege tanks, right? Similar situations could apply whenever you scan and see a clump of marines with enemy tanks sieged nearby. Love the vids, keep up the great work!

@@markmurdock3382 2 mules is 400 minerals, that would already mean I have to play with 3 barracks instead of 5 in some situations for example :P

@@markmurdock3382 it's not only expensive, it's also considered BM by many players (google "manner mule")

@@uThermal ah makes sense, thanks for the response, would love to see you YOLO that move someday in the right situation (if you're maxed/rich/have extra orbitals, and that move might even work with dropping changelings near tanks in the split second before they morph right?)

Maru Vs KZfaqMan in the GSL Finals!

But why does he tell, it's a team game when he only plays 1v1? Where is the 2v2?

I hope so, would be really fun to watch. But he has to have at least 3-4 builds for each of 9 matchups (super hard!), AND be able to adjust when he gets countered while offrace. Right now he's a one trick pony when zerg or protoss. Everybody sees his lingdrop/hyrdra coming when he's zerg. I love watching thermy, so positive. I hope he succeeds

Amen, hallelujah.

@@__Mr.White__ Simplifying a bit, in the WTL, individuals on the teams play 1v1's against each other, and the team that wins more matches overall wins. I believe there are two reasons they chose a format like that: 1) _SC2_ is very much balanced around 1v1, so co-op often gets very, very cheesy and is at least _perceived_ to have some pretty big race imbalances. 2) All the focus in pro play is on 1v1, so the top-tier players are rarely well-practiced at playing 2v2's and it often shows. In the matches I've seen, they don't adjust their play much, and it often feels like the victors blundered their way into their win due to luck more than skill. Still, I find 2v2's and Archons to be a lot of fun to watch (often even more fun than 1v1), and I wish there was more of it.

Checks out.

can't believe it's december 4th already.. this year went by so fast

@@Chris971. Most countries format dates day month year. Just like with the metric system the US refuse to join the rest of the world.

@@Kaboomnz indeed

@@Kaboomnz more like the rest of the world refuses to join the US. The US is the leader

We're watching in awe actually

That asterisk is doing a hell of a lot of work.

when did he beat Serral? Was it on the ladder? That would be so impressive

I was also expecting 2v2, one of my favourite formats.

Seeing "$100,000" should have dispelled that notion... :P

I was quite disappointed when I realized it wasn't

you must be new to sc2. Team legues were always like this

yeah I was really hoping for a 3v3. Would be insane

Don't tell anyone though

Has?

Because its not as interesting to watch, even 2v2 is a little bit hard to watch at time these days. Protoss would almost always massing Phoenix, Terran would just Mech, with PvT is ideally the best combo in 2v2. Basically its not as balance.

9 matchups that he has to prepare for. TvZ and ZvT might be "the same matchup" but he needs to prepare terran build orders and zerg build orders, so for his preparation it's two different matchups.

when you play Zerg you can play: ZvZ ZvT ZvP when you play Protoss you can play: PvP PvZ PvT when you play Terran you can play: TvT TvP TvZ so it's nine match-ups
