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.

Rain and herO made it look easy against him... also Maru is a GOD against terran????

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

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