Zerg allins vs T are usually very easily scouted so on most occasions are extremely hard to pull off. | ||

Of course it's because he's a boss from SKT, but everyone always said he was boring, but I thought he was great! | ||

EDIT: Maybe going back to something like 3 hatch-muta play? That would force goliaths and keep the army back and prevent expansion play. Which would make it possible to play "refuge" zerg with 3 starting positions? I think you're misunderstanding something here. Terran transitions into mech from bio, meaning the ling all-ins will be dealt with bio since Terran isn't switching to mech yet. 3 hatch muta is standard zerg play and Terrans are comfortable against it with an array of their own bio builds (3 rax tech, 4/5rax +1, fast vessels etc). The mech switch comes as a response to the common 3->4 gas hive which comes into play significantly later. | ||

Terrans seemed to develope too good counter vs anything that emerges from standard 3 hath muta play into lurker into hive into 3base/4base. I don't know, man. Both mutas and lurkers are pretty much used in 95%+ of the games on modern maps. I understand your idea, it might be good on paper, but I will be surprised to see it working in high level korean ZvT. | ||

Flash and other terrans already solved the muta into ultra builds a long time ago though and it's why you never really see it anymore. (unless it's like force[name] who only does that build zvt) It's probably one of the easier builds for terran progamers to deal with. | ||

Is it just me lol? It is definitely not just you. I'm sure there are other lurkers out there (like me) that enjoy this stuff. Honestly posts like Letmelose's are what bring me back to check these threads. They are nuggets! | ||
