How did that even happen? I see Maru up by 30 army supply, alt tab for ~5 mins and then he loses.


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.


His mistake was trying to take an engagement there at the 4th without the right unit composition and then he got forced into that position which he really couldn't win.


He should have formed a concave at the ramp imo, force out 2-3 storms and retreat to the PF. Then Zest will be running low on Templar energy. Though I think he just didn't have enough anymore to really make that concave happen to begin with... Tough spot when you are running low on army.


But I think Zest didn't have to storm his army there since his army was so much stronger. Maru was kinda forced to rely on the planetary for backup defense.
It would have been a different story had he not taken the fight at Zest's 4th.


yup, that's what I meant. He probably didn't have the army to form a strong concave that can force the storms out of Zest.

I don't understand the whine here
Zest is playing very well to counter maru and we see that mines are really effective now against protoss army making colossus essential to defend. Pretty sure most of protoss would long die to maru's bio-attack

I think the casters over hyped marus play/position, zest was keeping up.


it always feel like that. Casters hype terrans moves because they are showy. A protoss just sits and defend, it's the terran making move and trying to make things happen in TvP.

I saw two main problems in TvP right now:
1) Blink is too strong vs vikings
2) too many small places at bases (like that maru's 4th base) -> storms are so strong in that case.


The best buff they could give to bio-terran late game TvP would be to make Vikings more responsive so they could move out of Storms faster or reposition against blinked stalkers faster as well. Would make them much more rewarding to micro and more fun to control as well.

wow, the balls on rogue here. I still do the cannon rush that classic did vs RorO on this map and it works really well, so i'd be so scared to 3 hatch as rogue

Why doesn't Maru expand more btw?

He is such an aggressive player, the protoss would never have a chance to counterattack the early fourth

Terran can't hold multiple bases because they have no static defense or local unit production (ie zerg has larva at every hatch, protoss have warp ins)

There is something called planetary fortress...

That planetary was so useful in a fight wasnt it?

Yeh he also got caught in the Ghost-transition as well which reduced his army count a bit. WIth this style you just gotta have 20-30 supply+ advantage all game long.

So, will Rogue have something prepared?
A style or all-in to counter Zest?
because Zest usually eats Zerg for breakfast

You can safely keep 4 bases, where horizontal/vertical spawns threatens your 4th. Also long travel distance + recall + possible air opening into airtoss is possible, problems with scouting for zerg. It's imba, I so much love cross positions on frost
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Zerg nowadays relies a lot on midgame pressure -> transition to force the protoss towards a certain tech and take advantage. On big maps in cross positions, I have more time to prepare for their pressure and more time to prepare for what's next. Besides, if you want to pressure zerg, you do it with warpgate. Plus I feel like the lategame favors protoss on big maps. Cross positions makes it easier for me to get there.

I want this so much for protoss air! At least mothership!

zest is good, quite a bit better than maru...mechanically his equal and decision wise superior.

Floating 1.3k mineral after 10 zealots warp-in and 2 colos...


so that's a minor error right there by a gsl champ...while also keeping in mind he was spending all his gas. meanwhile it's hard to see if terran is over-queuing units. but what i meant was that he defended all those multiprong attacks and drops taking minimal losses, stabilised, did not overextend, hit a tech advantage and good viking/medivac snipes.

a great timing on the fourth and storm placement to force either a) a fight there or b) losing the planetary and scvs. contrary to what people believe not many P players can beat maru comprehensively like that.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

Haha, well my results on the ladder are not really good enough that it is worth trying, Protoss really loves DTs and oracles.
And SCVs cant shoot up or detect invisible stuff :p

Though i actually won vs a Z sometimes
