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.

play one game like that and see how hard it is to defend EVERYWHERE in your base.
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

Standardly.
Maru got really good early damage due to miss control, spiraled from there.

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.


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)

Can you link me a game where a terran successfully basetraded a top-tier protoss? 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.


Nobody tries timings against the headbashing style because terran basetrades. There's no game I can remember because nobody does it. It's just the worst thing you could possibly do. The only time you can attack against it is if you've killed a significant chunk of the terran army OR have survived until storm/colossus and good upgrades + cannons and templar at all your bases. Then you start doing counterharass that pulls terran back, then you use that timing to attack when they're not outside your base to boost in the second you leave.
Basically what Rain did vs Maru on Vaani. That was textbook perfection.

I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Should be pretty easy from now on for Maru. I'd be quite lost if I were KT coach right now.
