Reynors performance is large in part due to the amount of practice he has been getting with the Terran player Clem. Perhaps this was due to how well Reynor played. Maru really did not look entirely himself in those first two games.

Maru lost the first two games due to uncharacteristically allowing Zergling run-bys into his mineral lines. In spirit of analyzing the bright spots of his performances, let’s take a look at his best of seven against Reynor in the Dreamhack Grand Final. So while his early exit is disappointing, it is not yet time to write him off. The two TvP matches ended 2-1 in losses for Maru. His group in GSL consisted of two Protoss players and one Zerg, who he beat. Maru has primarily been playing TvZ and TvT matchups recently, and has been performing very well in them. Though his GSL loses were tough to swallow, the circumstances made it slightly more palatable. Having suffered so many back to back defeats, one must be reminded why hope is not lost for Maru. Next, he went out in the group stage at 2021 Global StarCraft II League Season 2: Code S. First he lost in the Dreamhack Summer Season Grand Finals against Reynor in a hard fought series that saw all 7 games played. Cho “ Maru” Seong-ju has come up against a couple tough losses in the last few days.
