Gas will probably stockpile, you can make plenty of scourge and you can easily afford guardians, which are actually pretty good against mech if you use them right. Defilers are fine, but you don't want to rely on them. You don't really need to rely on muta stacking either. One of the main purposes of the mutas is to force him to spend money on gols. vult+tank decimates ground... He had so many vessels and mutas are not upgraded. At most a few tanks down. But he will eventually need ultra/ling/swarm to break the line. Great is behind on upgrades and should have harrass econ instead. He turtled against Terran when he knows T > all at late game. | ||

Vessels aren't such a major problem when you are not relying on stacked mutas. Easy to invest +1 or +2 carapace. Each upgrade reduces goliath damage by 2. Meanwhile vessels are utterly worthless against hydras, which is a key muscle unit. For an example of using muta+hydra in Z v Mech, watch Mondragon vs Brat_OK on Destination from the last TSL. | ||

How hydra/ling beat 3/3 tanks? Any land units are going to melt. He can make 1 group of mutas to surprise midas but i doubt it gonna work on such high level. Some gols(he already had some gols in his mix) and irradiates will solve the problem, stacked or not. Zerg/Protoss has a chance to win the matchup before it gets to this point. Both rely on outplaying the def, harrass & follow up against terran to win. | ||

Mutalisk can tank a lot of goliath dmg and kill tanks pretty easy and are relatively cheap. Hydras die quickly to tanks but beat goliaths and have a lot of dps and are cheap. Zerglings can be sacrificed to tank fire because they are cheap. Aside from that, Zero has proven that Queen are pretty good vs mech because of broodlings | ||

Hydra/ling rushing/dropping onto tanks at this point of game are worse than ultra/ling, not to mention it will dry up the larvae. Morever Great didnt have 3/3 on his air, no zerg will upgrade unless he is going muta the whole game. Also, he needs stacked 1.5~2k gas to produce that much mutas for impact. Midas will definitely know it if the land units deplete. | ||
