Infestors can be a huge pain to deal with. Not only can they devastate your units they can also ruin your day. As in life an outbreak of fungal growth can really ruin your day. But how do we counter this? We could buy anti septic cream, or even better, High Templars.



I know some of you are not using High Templars, and you should be. This unit brings a lot of utility to your army as we will be covering later on in another post. For this situation you want to keep your finger on the F key. As any good player knows feedback is the key to improving your game, and in this case, somewhat more literally than you might have expected.

Feedback is an underrated ability; this ability turns the enemy's energy against them. You would think it was more highly regarded as one of its key abilities, but when we think High Templar, we think of Psionic Storm and high damage. Infestors pratically get destroyed by feedback, and if they don't die, they will be out of action for quite some time—that's high damage.

Using feedback effectively is another story. You need to know where the infestors are, and strike surgically with a handful of 'commando' high templars. These high templars will require twitchy fingers and fast tactical reasoning to pull of this maneuver. You must run towards the ugly bunch and give them your destructive criticism. Once done clear the scene. In clearer terms, run in feedback and run away. Simple enough really.

Not bad, not bad at all. I tried that and just got a blank stare. She then turned and, ignoring me, started chatting with her friends.

I came home and watched Jinro's stream while crying and eating ice cream.
When you stare into the iCCup, the iCCup stares back.

You don't cry when you eat ice cream, dude.

You smile.

I don't know anything about infestors though. J:
