idra why don't you ever open factory and switch to bio since people love to mass ling you, nowadays it seems fact openings are better than bio openings in many ways.

In the first two video examples, I felt that the winner had some advantage based on the opponent's decision: Effort's mutas did little for him and Skyhigh made tanks very late even after seen the hydra den first build.

How is supposed to look an 'even' game between mech vs z? (about the time the terran starts to push).

is it viable to keep geting zerg air upgrades as the game goes on. With the idea of going back to zerg air late game?
When the spirit is not altogether slain, great loss teaches men and women to desire greatly, both for themselves and for others.

This is for Day9 and chill about mech vs Z on destination

When the T eventually does the normal push toward the Z's wide ramp 3rd/min only, either on 2 or 3 base, where is the best place to engage the army? I've had trouble flanking with my hydras once the terran get their army in that bridge area right under the middle expo. So is it better to engage the terran earlier in the terran's half of the map to take advantage of the larger area to flank but with less units, or is it still better to wait until the last possible second to attack, even if it means engaging in a less than optimal area.

Question 1
In 2 hatch play versus mech, at what point should you transition from 3hatch spire (3 base) into 5 hatch hydra?

Question 2
Going 12hatch 11pool, OR 12h 12p, OR 12h 13p (in a 2 hatch style) versus mech. What do you think are the positives and negatives knowing that T is going 11rax?

If you find this question more interesting:

How aggressive should Zerg be with Mutas (using 2 hatch play) against the different mech variations?

The session has ended by now. I hope most of your have had their points covered either as a question asked or as a sideline of discussion. We are aware that we might have still missed a fair bit, but that's how a live discussion can run.

cheers everyone!
