At one point in the game he had 18 marines vs 1 stalker 1 sentry and 1 msc from Zest in army size. When he realised Zest had a third and went scv allin, it was too late as Zest's gateway explosion just started. That being said, it was still quite close. | ||

If you scout what Maru scouted you HAVE to react. If Zest is being aggressive and Maru doesn't react he dies. That's just how strong Protoss aggressive options are. Zest abused the metagame, it's becoming a super common thing to do. The problem is that if you flip the coin and try and call their bluff and you're wrong, you die. That's the sum up of the problems with PvT. Protoss has too many options and Terran has too few. This game was actually the best example I can think of of the ACTUAL problems with the match up. So many others are just down to execution but this one Maru made all of the correct calls but was just late on everything because he HAD to take precautions in case of a Protoss All In. Protoss is just too flexible in the early game of the match up and a player like Zest can just abuse that. | ||

I beg to differ. At least half the posts are whining about Protoss OP or whatever instead of Zest actually playing incredibly well | ||

The reason that he had to all in was because he did not see the third until it was way to late for him to play standard himself. If he scouted that then he can either all in much earlier before the third nexus pays off and probably win or take his own third and the game goes on. Maru's decision to all in was predicated by his lack of scouting nothing else. | ||

Maru's decision to all in was predicated by his lack of scouting nothing else. He just got three SCVs sniped when he tried to leave the base to scout. The first one saw a Stalker and a Sentrie moving towards his base so he threw down an additional bunker. The second got instand sniped by an oracle and the third one got sniped halfway across them map. Not easy scouting, really - unless randomly scanning. | ||
