Storm would be a good thing to have


He didn't get storm because he instead went with a 3rd without gases in order to produce a big gateway army to be able to defend. That worked so-so

Maybe mixing in some Immortals would've helped? You really need the aoe though..

Immortals suck hard when it comes to bigger fights, stim and heal.

I personally go for 2 robos,1 pumping observers, second pumping colossi. Lately double colossi/immortal productions, depends on how many colossi I have, but to this stage the game never got to.

Basically, against someone like Maru you have to go for super turtle toss, skip upgrades and get fast storm and colossi and BIG hopes that you can survive once you chrono all the upgrades or you go full Parting and be super aggressive

Agree. Need storm
I Protoss winner, could it be?

Maru's drops are so deadly. Hero never could(or would) group up his army and just got outplayed by Maru never knowing where his army is. maybe the answer to Maru is going HT scattered to feedback drops?

Go Maru pls!

HT openings are hard to pull off, especially against somebody THIS agressive. Additionally, the transition is expensive and essentially allows Maru to flat out overrun you....


True, I'm just trying to ponder on a counterplay to Maru's style in Macro(ish) games


You just have to play absolutely perfectly and get counter harass done somehow. It's near impossible against someone as good as Maru though. I haven't seen anyone be able to do it.

Ideally the way you'd want to play against it is how HerO did it vs Polt at IEM Cologne... but that style is gone now so I don't know.

I think the issue with Maru's style is.. terran is a race that rewards mechanical skill more than zerg/protoss, so as mechanical skill increases it just becomes harder and harder to deal with, until finally you get a situation like MaruvP, where he's just so good at a race that rewards being good that it becomes very, very hard to win.

If any of that makes sense at all :p
and Maru's only 17. think about when the best of bw came into the scene

You have to get counterdamage done somehow, DTs are great at defending drops and slowing terran down. Just quite expensive

Thats right moonglade, you didnt hear DK thought it would be better if Protoss had only 1 main tech path that was good vs his new unit that he relies on (wm). The game is more interesting to DK this way.

Yeah was thinking like in total it equals 1 colli right? But i guess if you don't know herOs style (which i guess Maru does as he made turret insta after harass in game 1) then it catches u with pants down
