And considering I almost always open 9pool speed zvt because I practice ling micro way too much and can effectively micro lings while expanding/teching it is just so good against tech builds. I think 9 pool is good against any Terran build at d/d+/c- level. | ||

Or make a shit load of hatcherys and zerglings to hopefully take up all the sprites so valks can't fire anything. how many zerglings would that be? I thought that only refered to attack sprites as well, not unit sprits... | ||

As to how to counter it... beating mech builds was always about map control and obviously that's still the case here. What changed is that it's harder to maintain, but I don't think that the usual unit mix needs to be changed (muta / ling, hydra with plague / swarm). The perfect unit combination depends on your opponent's mix, and it's very map dependant. | ||

What's revolutionary is the fact that it's used by progamers, during pro matches - and it's effective.

I think Savior's game was more convincing, because he constantly hit the back with muta and the front with hydras, divided the terran army. and he never fought straight up because the harrase allowed him to take a lot of expansions. Trading bases when the terran finally pushes out instead of fighting head on like julyzerg did was the key. | ||
