What else do you get? If you go zealots, Maru will just drop on your army and make colo pretty useless.

Yeah but sending Life and losing = dead, while if they hold on it a bit they can hope for Stats or whoever to win.

this is the best map for Life left, in perfect world you'd send him on Deadwing if Maru wins on Expedition, but JAGW coach sacced Rogue there

If you don't have stalkers, you'd probably get dropped all over Collosi

It's still a mistake IMO. Against that style (no vikings) if you get 0 stalkers, chargelots and cannons in each base and can make some archons, you'll win. It's not easy, but Zest definitely wildly overmade stalkers.

Would be funny watching immortals waddle between 3 bases chasing drops

Then Maru will just drop the Colossi to death and doompush once the splash is gone. Zest just needed to play better.

Well I'll take Zest's opinion over yours. Archons and cannons are not the answer to drops lol

That would mean certain death in early game or gas starved in mid.

Only way to play against Maru is either Rain style = perfect defence or cheese = Parting.
Toss have to prepare builds to catch Maru off guard. Use phoenixes to counter drops in early game and then defend well enough to eventually kill him with deathball

I think in general the correct answer to maru's style is just to play defensively with the fairly standard unit composition, and continue to weather the storm while getting zealot (or DT) harass on the back of it. Or, just hit a huge timing.
