So, I just played this TvsZ game on the new Caverns map. I decided to go for a mech style without thors and added MM instead so BFH+tanks+MM. There was a couple of drops on my part followed by 3 pushes. The first push was the strongest and let's just say that I was surprised by my opponent's hand:

If you take a look at the minimap, you'll see red and blue connecting. The blue trail is all slow banes XD Doesn't help that he also had 8 infestors full of energy and that lone infestor with his slings/banes FG'd my marines as I tried to pull back. Given, I did come out on top supply wise but the remaining infestors made short work of my remaining army with infested terrans and FG. Anyways, I just thought this was pretty funny to see and was curious to see if any of you guys have had a similar experience

TLO vs Losira anyone? XD

This is reminiscent of Morrow's style of ZvT, though I haven't seen him play in a really long time so I forget if he uses Infestors a lot. I would imagine that he does because there's a lot of synergy there, but I don't know.
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

Thanks for the video. It's downright scary with 8 infestors full of energy XD Given, I haven't incorporated ghosts into my game so I'm sure it'll easier to take care of them then and I should start incorporating them whenever I get into late game I guess my only concern is that they take up a decent portion of resources and their dps is pretty bad. That and more ghosts means less marines, etc....

You definitely don't need more marines when there are full energy infestors roaming the map.

I don't know what sound I hate most: Blue Flame roasting, or Snipes.

Fair enough. If it comforts you, that game was the first one where I actually went for mass BFH otherwise it's the usual MMT with drops galore
