I'm pretty sure if any unit was afflicted with Parasite pros would just probably quarantine it or just kill it. Simple counter

Restoration seems too situationally-dependent to become a solid part of any given TvX matchup. It's useful, but generally I'd think allowing medics to save their energy for healing takes priority.

I'm not a T player, though, so what do I know?

I do recall BoxeR using it in a game against July on Luna. July was fighting BoxeR's pressure by going to hive tech and getting defilers with plague. BoxeR pushed and got his vessels plagued but the cheers soon turned to BoxeR when he restored his vessels.

July got read like a book. A children's book. No words. Just pictures.

FBH vs sAviOr on Python has some resto action on BCs.

but yeah, they figure re-plaguing is much cheaper and less time consuming than your mass restos

The only time it would ever seem worth it would be to undo a parasite on a key unit and even then that's questionable.

yes, yes, yes, it's lots of micro.. but honestly these guys are capable of it...

I just want to cry every time I see a muta go in and take out 1500 gas of science vessels in a few seconds.

I'm sorry I didn't look up the other thread.. I didn't think of it. I'm not exactly new to starcraft... just new to TL.

Heh, beat me to it. But I only upgrade this if i get parsited not before that for an "anti-parasite" method. They have to parasite me first for me to upgrade it :p And i was actually thinking of implementing this to my tvz against zergs that go plague vs me to restore marines that got plagued so i can show off to my friends at my "micro" with a spell that's not used at all haha

maelstrom broodling and ensare have all seen use in competitive play these days, its interesting how the meta has evolved over the years to make these a part of the meta situationally

my god what a bump

speaking of ensnare - it is used on fastest map games to slow down the shuttle+sair combo !

you can check brain games and see - a game played a few days ago and uploaded today !

How do Koreans, Chinese and rest-of-the-world compare to one another in the Fastest Scene?

Kanzzer i only watch koreans on fastest maps... maybe there are strong europeans / chinese / american players...

but i do think Brain , Shin , Doe , BurgerSasu are better !

the consensus is that Brain is the best
koreans are a level above the rest, but its not as big a gap as ASL pros vs foreign top player on standard maps.

example: best US player HyDrA[VcK] has beaten ByuL in BoX series (the same ByuL that gets quite far in ASL qualifiers is a top 2/top 3 fastest player) and also took a game or two off Brain, although these were played on the western version of fastest map, where there are hunters-like positional imbalances that the top koreans are probably not completely adapted to

as opposed to the chinese scene, idk much about how they stack compared to koreans/western players though the top koreans are most likely stronger than them

RJB casts a lot of these games, or at least he used to

the main caster for western fastest these days is JoesFastestStarcraftCasts on YouTube

A Necromancer! I hoped I'd never have to lay my eyes on one of your kind again! Just kiddin' . Me personally, im waiting on the Ghost lockdown to niche itself into the TvP meta, as most of the time, in late game, Terrans are overflowing with extra gas that might be better invested into 4-5 Ghosts, most of those placed defensively to prevent shuttle flybys. Also Nukes vs Z to break fortified positions with Lurker/ling/Sunk/Dark Swarms, because right now Zs are camping on 4-5 bases like crazy and the roll out with 5/3 Ultras and Defilers and its all over.
