TvP Game 4: Maru vs. herO on Bel'Shir Vestige

Maru opens CC-first while herO opens with gate-cycore-nexus. The game is pretty quiet.
herO goes for blink-stalkers while Maru gets stim.
herO moves out with his blink. Maru holds off the first series of blinks and the second one without too many losses.
The game stabilises from there, with herO expanding and getting charge and templar.
Maru moves out to pressure herO with MMM. He gets a good trade but herO stabilises.
Maru drops herO's main and takes out the nexus.
Storm finishes and herO moves out to attack Maru's natural. Maru goes for the base-race.
Maru gets the nexus and some production but loses too much of his base to come back.

Protoss wins 3-1!

yeah, because you are forced to right click a PO nexus when you see one.
Parting got behind and flash gambled on getting an easy win and fell behind from that. That shows nothing that is wrong in TvP.


It is wrong in a sense that game opened up in best possible way for Flash, he was way ahead with expansion, the oracle did no damage and he was ahead in army supply with combat shield and stim finished. Still he couldn't punish protoss who was teching to storm at that time.

That part was the problem - the inability to do damage against protoss who does a failed proxy and is rushing to storm. What he did later was a mistake by Flash, but you should be able to do damage if the early game plays out the way it did in that game.


He could have gotten a third or fast tech and punish the Protoss with that. Not everything works against anything, and fast pushing does not punish a 2base Protoss most of the time. Even more since YyapSsap put it like "whats wrong with TvP", I'd rather say that's one thing that is "right with TvP". You can't just emphasize on a small lead with a kill guaranteed timing as Terran.


Fast tech? PartinG was already teching to storms... Yet, if protoss gets a small lead with blink stalkers, they just keep warping in and wins...

So deflecting a proxy build is a small lead? did you see what happens to fail 11-11 in TvZs in WoL? There is no recovery unless the zerg derps their banes.

He wouldn't punish protoss in any way if he did that because protoss can and always does get a later third and Parting already had storm out. At best they would be even. And we are not talking about fast push not doing nothing to a 2 base turtle protoss, we are talking about fast push not doing anything to protoss who failed with his proxy and played greedy in a sense he rushed to storm after that.


Protoss has to rush storm or colossus in TvP. That's not greedy, that's standard.

And the way he played he didn't punish Parting at all, puting down a faster third or faster medivacs (his starport finshed after the 3rax timing was deflected, which is quite late) at least puts him in a better spot. It's better than what he did.
