It shows how unfamiliar you are with SC terms, which shows that you are inexperienced and you have no idea what you're on about. | ||

Jaedong threw 4 gas worth of perfectly microed mutalisks at fantasy, but fantasy's 8 rax was too much, and evertually he got vessels which sealed the deal. Sorry Rostam. Spoilered. 8 rax means barracks on 8 supply not 8 barracks pumping units. | ||

such as in this quote "As long as you have micro, a group of mutalisks would probably be foolish to attack a group of 30 marines attacking a temple. If they try and snipe marines, they'll probably lose a lot of mutalisks and no way will they stop the temple from dying." stop assuming these are true, have some humility and admit to the fact that your theorycrafting may be more often wrong than right. word it as a question, not as an argument, i.e. "wouldn't marines attacking a temple easily take out mutas trying to snipe them" to which the answer is "no" | ||

What about 50 marines? That's around how much resources a control group of mutalisks is worth after all. Would that be sufficient? + Show Spoiler + The reason I think marines could do such a thing, is because of that recent Fantasy v Jaedong. Fantasy reached what seemed a critical mass of marines and barracks, and Jaedong's 4 gas mutalisks just couldn't beat it. | ||

Would that be sufficient? the issue isn't in the amount, it's in the positioning. while the marines are attacking the temple, forcefiring, they wont automatically attack when the mutalisks approach, so it'll take quite alot of micro to both attack the temple and fight off mutalisks as they come. also, your math is nonsense. you can't equate gas to minerals, because they come in at different rates. taking the 1200min+1200gas = 2400min = 48 marines argument is flawed, and if you ever see a terran with 48 marines while the zerg has 12 mutalisks and no other units, then the terran must have gotten severely ahead somehow. edit: in fact, dont ever try to do math with resources in non-mirror matchups anyhow, the spending curves and collecting curves are completely different. | ||

Because you are building 50 marines out of 4 barracks and you are also building medics. The Zerg have 6 mutalisks as soon as spire starts (Assuming they went 2 hatch muta) and 9 if they went 3 hatch and every 30 seconds they get another 2-3 muta depending on how many hatcheries they have. | ||

So it's completely impossible to win if your assimilators go down? It's just not possible to repel mutalisks and open up the temple before the zerg takes the whole map? | ||

It would probably be best to go full out SK with heavy upgrades. | ||
