You shouldnt let him reach his critical mass of sair reaver at any moment of the game. This build is made to harras zerg in the midgame. Go for an hydra bust so you will force his reaver to defend or burrow and trying to catch the shuttle in transit xD But you have to scout it on time. Thats the important part Its like fighting and archon reaver army, almost unstoptable for zerg to engage that kind of army. (sair/web reaver carrier omg O.o) I am not a pro, but skytoss in BW is not that effective... Hydras with defiler should help you a lot. But still needs a very high micro and macro to beat this. Becuase these are very high HP units plaguuuu is your best friend and swarm. I guess you are in the scenario where you cannot Amove ur army against a deathball ! So just go for the traditional engage and fall back and in the mean time send a groups of crackling and defiler to destroy a nexus. The idea is to give you the economical advantage so you can trade your armies | ||

For killing mass reaver in the late game you just need a big hydraling flank He really shouldnt be able to get that composition without losing to a straight hydrabust so I think you need to defend sair reaver better anyways with. Mass sair that's a ton of gas and reavers aren't as mobile as ht so you can drop his main and bust his Nat at the same time in the midgame if he's going for something stupid like carriers | ||

 plague gets rid of all the health and hydras destroy shield...acid spores for extra damage va air...dark swarm keeps you alive vs interceptors...and since he's trolling you might as well screw around too; get queens to parasite his shuttles and carriers and ensnare everything so they can't run away | ||

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Hwangsanbul + Show Spoiler + http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Predators http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/DMZ (I remember this map being really infamous for being shit) http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/The_Huntress -.- http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Full_Moon Ammmmmmmm... 6 Spawns island map... Now I am curious if a 5 spawn 1v1 map is even possible mostly because 1 or 2 match ups would have to short a nat to nat distance... | ||

![[image loading]](http://pmterran.tripod.com/goliath6.gif) But when is the appropriate time to suicide those goliaths into taking out carriers? Sometimes it seems so much easier then weathering the interceptor storm. | ||

Edit: For 1v1 at least. If the same was said for any other map feature. BW would have gotten stale years ago. I am pretty sure that a resonably balanced 5,6 player 1v1 map is within the limits of possibility and if so I just don't see why it wasn't attempted. I mean yes, it doesnt add that much to the game, but it's still worth a try. | ||

I mean yes, it doesnt add that much to the game, but it's still worth a try. My point is that if you consider what makes 2, 3, and 4-player maps unique from each other, there is actually quite a lot that has big impacts on gameplay, but the difference between a 5-player map and 4-player map is minimal. The only real difference is that you can't split the map perfectly, but adding a central base like FS does solves that problem much more neatly. Especially when you consider how difficult it must be to create a balanced 5 or 6 player map with equal rush distances between bases, that's probably why nobody has bothered with it. Having said that, there is no strict rule saying you must have equal distances between spawns. Gaia, for example, even now shows up in motw occasionally and gets played. I can't imagine that kind of thing would be too popular among players with the current metagame though. | ||

I understand the above, but it kind of seems like KESPA has tried almost everything over the BWs professional life span, but 5 or 6 spawn 1v1 maps just weren't one of those. | ||

So for the current metagame you're gonna new essentially a main and a natural, so take spawn locations and multiply by two. That leaves you with 10 based for a 5 player map, and 12 for a 6 player maps. In terms of space, mains require quite a but of space, so pretending the other mains are just thirds doesn't quite workout out cz now you don't have room for a third because not enough room analog you risk having too much money on a map. Sorry I had a more well thought out answer but my browser crashed and I didn't want to retype all of it. | ||

Naturals are generally easier to defend as thirds. Quite frankly, no one enjoys watching a game where players pick at each other's defense. | ||
