I feel bad for Solar man. I think Maru is just giving him PTSD. Always those big moments where he "almost" does it but then something catastrophic happens. Whether its a nuke hitting every broodlord because he lost vision. Hero widow mine connections that turns a doomed fight for Maru Same widow mines hitting your entire flock of mutas Or sometimes just leaving your lurkers alone for 2 seconds. And to add salt on the wound? forgetting you need to move your overlord to spot the siege tanks. Something im sure he has done thousands of times on ladder. And he just forgot under the pressure. A really basic mistake in his eyes when he rewatches the game later. Dont get me wrong Maru forced a lot of those mistakes but man. Solar just gets so many of those crucial moments on a coin flip and he always flips tails. He looks so tilted. When you reach a point like this its hard to even keep playing a game like starcraft. Its one thing to get stomped but getting close to winning and it being decided on a flip is fine the first few times. It happening again and again? My man is gonna some serious theraphy later on in his life.

Amazing to hear Lowko commentating at Katowice, such a great content creator who’s deserved big commentating gigs for a long time 👏🏼

As someone who improves by watching the top level of play, I love that you showed bits from their perspective. It’s nice to see their group setups as well as seeing how fast they really are.

Mad respect to Solar, showing grace in defeat despite being so frustrated. Imagine someone like Idra in that situation...

Safe to say Maru was the reason for the ghost nurf in recent patch.

“ gg wp take the trophoy instead of me “ 😅

are these finals? no, right? so solar's like: you better fucking win in finals maru, you fucking better

I see Maru and ghosts I click

That ling flood... This was the most beautiful defence I've seen in a while! Maru hanging on by the skin of his teeth until the very end!

You could tell maru got into solars head here. Solar was being overly aggresive every time it played right into maru hand

Maru a day, keeps the Zerg at bay

Solar, classy exit. Wp!

was that LowKo as one of the commentators? He went such a long way since I heard him last time on a major tournament, previously squeaky boy now doing a such a great job 🙂

Im so glad to hear Lowko here!!!! At first i thought theres some other speaker named very similar but then i realised thats actually you!!!

22:07 "But Maru did not take the trophy as Solar had thought. Instead, it went to someone whom no one expected. Only the boy's his father believed in him... And so do I." ~God

Excited for your Katowice highlights, some epic games and series! 🙏

I love lowko commentary! Amazing match

Thank you for the awesome content on a regular schedule!

The micro is on some other level! Insane!

maru just pumping suicidal ghosts into hydra ling bane definitely has a "get out of my game" feeling to it lmao

i'm sensing uthermal vibes

10:12 his inner Scottish took over there :D

love this casting duo.

Does anyone know what mouse and keyboard maru is using? This event had such a great view of everyone's hands, I'm super curious!

I can barely comprehend what’s happening. It blows my mind how they play at this level…

Is that a towel under Maru's mouse hand? Why? Does it somehow help with his wrist issues?

I really love the pov of the players in those games

Nice video !

If only Maru could reclaim his lowground, his chances for the win would immediately rise from 0.5% to 7%.

Lowko + Pig = fun

Love how Solar knew that he couldn't beat Maru in a macro game, so the only match he won was cheesing

think i just seen HuskyStarcraft on a grammarly commercial while loading this video.

I'm liking the PiG/Lowko commentating

Awesome !!

Game3 marine micro is so sick...

Omg Lowko is one of the casters?

Maru and Ghost!!!. LIKE

Old man Maru proving he is still the GOAT. #gotMaru?

the GOAT, best at every matchup. unlike a fluke losing every ZvZ

Finals?

Poor solar, he needed someone to take out Maru early like Byun did in the Korean tournament

17:40 Excuse me, but that is not a "1-1-1 build", that is the "Destiny-Cloud-Fist" Build! RIP Husky :'(

Leave it to Terran to lose 42 SCVs and still have a better economy.

Two figures step out into the spotlight Maru "Prepare for trouble~" *pulls out ghost* Byun "Make it double!" *pulls out reaper*

22:08

Is that lowko hosting?

that trophoy looks juicy

I know that Maru could beat my maxed protoss army with 3 marines

Heavy uThermal breathing

i'm beginning to feel more and more that it's actually pretty bad in general to bank as terran, esp if it's not TvT. protoss and zerg can use banks because they can just unload all that money to quickly get back to max supply, so it's useful for them, but terran? you don't have the instant reinforcement like protoss nor the huge amount of swappable production like zerg if you try to hold onto a bank, instead, if you lose your army all of a sudden, you need a bunch of time to build up forces again and you need *something* to cover for your production while that happens. So, why not spam CCs? they block the way and themselves look like decent chew toys/targets (planetaries especially can just blunt an attack or take really long to blow up) and so they help cover for your production as you try to get a critical mass again. the issue with spamming other stuff like engis or production is that they're not a threat nor are they a good target, so you're relying entirely on them blocking the way instead of being a distraction, and opp will just break one line and slip straight through. Them being smaller means it's also a bunch more apm (1.5 to 2x even) to make the same amount of effective sim-city compared to just slapping down ccs

does the color quality or saturation on this feel off for anyone else or just me?

why does maru have a rag on his mouse? looks super obstructive.

Lowko commenting this one, nice

gg wp take trophoy instead of me😔

Why does Maru use a mouse with a cloth

1:55 this around the time i just alt+f4...

Btw... ghost need a nerf, currently counter everything. Zerg must close the game before massive ghost count.

Bro thinks he's uthermal

SPEAKING OF MARU.............tough loss :(

Who are these casters? 😢

9:00 I think, and i thought this since a year, that marines need a bigger cooldown between attacks. What Maru did there wasnt even hard to execute, i think goldstar players can even do that. I think this match up has never been balanced, in fact, terran marines are the one thing that always has been imbalanced. There is no other race that needs less skill than Terrans. Why do i say that? You always need a bigger army to protect against their FUCKIN BASE-UNIT Lets not forget, a fkin baneling costs 25 more minerals and 25 more gas Have you ever seen 10 marines go down this fast before even reaching the enemy? aside from traps? That unit never worked.

No tastosis no like

it's so disappointing to to hear lowko

guess what first

Widow mines drop. Trashuest sc2 tactic. I wonder why it's not fixed yet

Serral lost to ragnorok … serral is such garbage
