Watch the replay of Nal_Testie vs Froz. It shows some MnM getting owned by Hydras.

Man, and after all these years of using lurkers and mutas, all I had to do to win zvt was go PURE HYDRALISKS!

i often had trouble to get my bats right next to his hydras, but now i found that making 4 or 5 empty dropships is THE solution
You send the dropships as decoy and right after flank with stimmed bats. he will try to micro and target the dropships, then you go and own GG
i have got c5 with that strat, 1000 on gamei so try it

Yeah. Firebats actually do great against muta if they can get close. You just have to make them jump. Geez, learn to micro, noobs...

Problem is devourers totally OWN firebats, because acid spores corrode their fuel tank.


Yes that is correct. The only problem is when an Interceptor flies over and knocks your Firebat into the water. But then, Scourge own Interceptors, so that's that.

Terran player uses Stimpack. Zerg player burrows Lurkers. The End.

Haha, theburningred, yes that's awesome! The classic "Ram the dropship" attack! As can be demonstrated in this battlereport.

Firebats could be effective vs Hydras if they had burrow. They don't though.

I have a good question,

Firebats own lurkers if they get close enough right?
Some time has passed, and I have grown old. But I am still better than everyone with their own races. ;)

actually firebats dont do bad against lurkers, when there are 1 or 2 in a group or rines they usually draw the lurks pines away and also take 3 hits to die, its not a counter to lurker ofcourse, but they are not a waste also.
Im back, in pog form!

I'm just wondering if this was fueled by one of those micro computer maps that has a round with hydras and firebats, which was a kinda hard round :O

and I pray not from
