True, but we also have to mention a couple things that Zero did in this game that he didn't do good against FlaSh.

First, his mutas survived a long time, providing him secure his double gas expo and giving him high mobility to avoid vulture harass on mid game, and also delaying Fantasy to take a 3rd gas. Then he started making ultralisk quite soon, no gas or money wasted on lurkers. Better choices against bio-> mech i think.

I also think that fantasy didn't make the right choices. Instead of defending the area that could give him 9 oclock expansion and min only (like flash did), he decided to move to the right hoping to take the corner expansion and double gas soon and securing the 12 min only expansion very soon. This way he couldn't defend properly from Zero push on the highest ground between his corner expansion and min only.

Terrible? Have you been watching any of the games where the zerg beats lategame mech? Ultras have always been the key. They may not be cost-effective, but the strategy seems to have a strong enough economy that you can just throwing ultras at the Terran. They are the only way to break the Terran's defense.

Watch light vs effort series. It was always Hydra/Muta for map control to try and stop the initial MM force from controlling the map. Watch Effort's game againt I forgot who on Match Point right before and you'll see the same thing. Lots of hydra/muta pumping.

Did you see the first game where Effort used ultras against Light and got fucking smashed?
