StarCraft 2's most prestigious seasonal tournament, the GSL, just experienced a massive shock. 1 / 7
Maru, the champion of the last four competitions in a row, fell in the first round of group stages. 2 / 7
Maru is arguably the Greatest of All Time in SC2, and is at the very least the best player in the world currently. 3 / 7
He first took a shocking 2-0 loss to Protoss player Patience, who has given him trouble before... 4 / 7
...and then took another loss to Innovation, knocking him out of the tournament. 5 / 7
The elimination leaves the GSL wide open for the first time in over a year. 6 / 7
The question remains, though: is the GSL without Maru better or worse for viewers? 7 / 7
