well played game by both players. This Maru got a little ahead of him with his trademark agressive style.

Protoss won although he gifted so many colossi during the game.
Still hardest mu for Terrans by far.

You only need to pick Protoss to be decision wise superior.

You can't tech ghosts and be as agressive as Maru was at the same time ^^

I think that Maru started Ghost production way too late.

Yeah I felt the same and zest was always atleast equal in uppgrades.
Zest played really good.

You can even feel zest is alot slower in terms of multitasking lol floating too many minerals, reacting too slow, warping in units that just stand there.. meanwhile maru is everywhere!

Can tell me some1 where was maru supposed t osplit against those storms? It would be really nice to know this. Wolf himself would be appreciated

Also, to low mine numbers, lost inevitable.


I think in that position and knowing Zest is going to commit, maybe pick-up and drop on the side to flank the army

Maru was forced to kite/retreat to his planetary at his 4th base after being chased down by Zest's army. He had his army at hold position so they ate storms while the planetary was being attacked by the army. He basically was backed into a corner and died.

Eh terrans really rarely do that. You only see Polt and Maru do this and it creates much more entertaining games. Most terran just goes for quick Ghosts with scv pulls since late game is unplayable.

Maru transitioned late to Ghost. and gave too much to deny "nothing" he didnt really focus on harass he focused on getting good trades, and just got one at the start.With that beeing said, impressive multiattacks

May Maru be a beacon of hope to all the whiny terrans. This is how you play terran

What if he loses this game -which he probably will ?

whatever in this game at this moment indicates that he'll lose?

HT, soon 3/2 and colo x2 is kinda helping when you don't produce viking nor ghost

maru is producing both?

Guess I can't read the game. O Wait.


Maru always delays Vikings and HTs for really long and only builds them as a kind of last-resort when he can't kill his opponent with his aggressive bio-style. Which is fine, because there are maybe 3 or 4 Protoss total in the world that have chances of surviving the bio-onslaught at all.


And where was I wrong ? I predicted Maru would lose the game after not building a viking when there were 3 colo on the field.
I know how Maru plays and that's why I knew he would lose after Zest secured his 3rd and Maru not being able to do enough damage.

That's what Maru does. He will stay on mass medivac/MMM longer than anyone else. Then he uses his superb micro/multitasking/positioning to bash his head into protoss until one of them dies.

It's the way of (ex-) Prime terrans

He plays a hyper aggressive style that will eventually either kill the protoss or run out of steam and fail because he has so late ghosts or vikings. The latter happened. If the protoss defends long enough, he has quite an advantage

protoss'd but that was a good game nonetheless. you can't make mistake as a terran in tvp. Only mistake Maru did was his position during the last engagment. But then again, what kind of position can you get when trying to defend this fourth at this place? It's so tiny...

So true. A reason why half the terran arsenal goes unused because all those things slow down the MMM aggression.
