Have cannons and units in each base, play hugely defensive while relying on 5-6 colossi to hold any frontal push. DTs can be a great tool, especially if you have to basetrade. Yeah, I don't think it's necessary. I just think Maru in particular has shown a good weakness to harass in the past - he's routinely lost mineral lines to baneling runbys, for example, so I think some light DT play could prove to be very, very effective at hitting him in a weak point. Not required, but effective. | ||

Overall yeah, in PvT I think it's fair. Zest PvT has always been his weakness, he got around it sometimes but it got exposed numerous times in his career (vs Cure, vs Flash in IEM, not to mention TANTANG...). | ||

Or, just hit a huge timing. There is no timing, terran just basetrades and wins. You have to survive and turtle like crazy until you have storm/colossus and are secured at every base. Then you attack. If at all possible, counter harass works wonders (but it's barely ever possible) | ||

Please stop theorycrafting. That doesn't work. You need mobility (phoenixes or blink stalkers), not money wasted on cannons and small pieces of protoss army spread out to die. | ||

I mean, the one game where a timing was hit that I watched - herO vs Maru - was incredibly close and only ended up a loss because Maru played beyond godlike. Really, I think all you need is either a strong upgrade timing (herO ended up fighting with 2/2 vs 2/2- if you can get 2/2 while terran is at 1/1 for a significant amount of time, this definitely works) or a storm/colo timing or harass damage. There's options. | ||

Yeah thats why I said you need perfect defence to counter drop and Marauder play. Force him to late game, force him to Vikings and kill him with Storm deathball. = Rain style Or extreme cheese allins when hes unprepared = Parting. He just crushes everyone else | ||

Are you gonna put fking cannons everywhere in your base whie trying to replace charelots, cannons, getting archons AND colossus, on how many bases??????? Cannons don't work man. You cannot warp over cannons but terran can unload over cannons or speed over them. Cannons are just detectors for mines, since observers like to die to splash from sacrificial probe  Edit> Also observers cost robo time and gas. Robo is so damn expensive >< On June 30 2015 19:43 Pandemona wrote: Wait...MARU FKN TAYLOR SWIFT xD What's wrong with Taylor Swift? I honestly don't know who is she, so... (or soO? :D) | ||
