There are more variables in this example than in comparing pro zergs to pro terrans. Completely invalid point.

No you don't speak it better than the brits.
And I have no clue what you are arguing about.

You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Zerg many times waits for terran to come out and flank him at an oppurtune time, this is containment.

It's containment if terran can't move out his main force and kill expos or take more expos, is it not? He said zvt is about zerg containment, that is what he was refering to, and he would be correct.

Zerg with hive its very dangerous, the classical T > Z advantage is totally gone when hive is in the game, specially if the T do not have lots of SV.

The defiler its pretty cheap, so cheap sometimes its better to irradiate the lurks under the swarm, i think defilers should be more expensive to make irradiate worth.

Containment occurs when terran is prevented from expanding or forced to stay in his base. This can be due constant muta harrassment or drops(lurker//ling/hydra). Flanking wont to stop terran from picking off zerg expos with drops.

the point to irradiate defilers is to stop zerg from using dark swarm, if you just use it on lurkers then darkswarm+ultra+ling will still kill you

remember that terran owns lurkers without darkswarm

Your definition of containment is much more narrow than most other players.

Irradiating and dropping can throw his flank into dissaray and if you get the timing right you can just roll out and paste those critters.

Most zergs use scourge and sunken/lurk at expos ^^

If you watched that replay you would have seen that oovs drops were not all that effective but he still managed to break the "containment" without any trouble. Ive seen this done many times and tried similar things myself.. I just dont feel like im contained by a zerg who just trys to flank the middle. Its just part of the zergs game style, if they didnt flank they would almost certainly lose.

Containment is keeping the terran in their base by drops/muta harassment.Also preventing expansions is containment.

best counter is speed+mine vultures, you can kill defilers, you can place mines and slow him down, and more importantly, you can kill ultras easily and you can kill lurkers inside swarm

and drone harass helps too
