USE the "infolings", somehow stopping mech gets easier.

savior vs leta, feb 2nd 2009

though he came way earlier then you seem to recommend, he seemed to fAvOr your strategy to a tee. mostly hydra, mix with ling+mut- and just walked on him.

couldnt help but think of this as i watched it, and savior scouted mech.

:D

sir, this thread is extraordinary useful, i think i already claimed this. But it's just awesome how this 9th drone scout 3 hatch fast hydra works. I was hit by many variations including 1 vulture into mnm drop, and crushed them, and some of those metal builds were done by superior players, and i usually lose to Terrans who are worse or just as good as me, if they go bionic

Here is a ZvT rep from yesterday. Guy FE'd and built this bunker/depot defense at his nat. I didn't even expect him to go Mech, and was on my way to defiler/ultra. Then I realized that it was mech and I had a group of lurkers and swarm and started on my hydra upgrades.

Just shows you that lurkers can still be useful vs mech. And tech switching is possible if you use them to delay long enough.

Whenever I encounter some little hitch, or some of my orbs get out of orbit, nothing pleases me so much as to make the crooked straight and crush down uneven places. www.day9.tv

i feel like every single ZvT FPVOD I watch where the terran mech switches, the zerg always goes for ultras and loses horribly. e.g.

i'm always like "why don't they follow day[9]'s advice and go hydras??"

From my experience, because past a certain supply/upgrades of the terran, hydras get demolished before they even get in range.

since this is a simple question, i give you simple answers:

1. mech =/= late mech
2. zerg players are bad, but zero surprised me this game by playing slightly smarter than usual....

The advice isn't so relevant today, it was back when mech first builds were in vogue (Fantasy build, vulture expand, 2 fac speed vults etc). Versus that early Hydras into mass Hydra/Muta is king for defending the early harassment, crushing the early pushes and causing them trouble as they expand, but versus the late game mech switch Hydras are terrible.

Ultralisk are probably the least cost effective unit you can make vs. mech. Tanks and Spider Mines rips through them and even Goliaths deal respectable damage.

I think Air Carapace Upgrade is a must. Not only must your Mutas be able to tank Goliaths, you'll have to be doing a lot of doom drops or drops on top of Siege Tanks.

Burrow is also underrated. You can save a lot of drones whenever the mech army steamrolls through your bases. Rather than butt heads with the army, I like to just give up the less important bases, doom drop to take out the Terran's production, and then throw endless waves of units against the army.

I think day9 was talking about countering mech openings effectively as bakuryu said. However, with how good terrans are at using bio before transitioning to mech, it will be suicidal to go mass hydras while bio is still roaming the field.
