I think the double spire was also a mistake too. But the point is, Jaedong did panick and make mistakes but that wasn't enough to change the outcome of the game. The reason is, mech is unproportionally strong against Z in TvZ

you people are fucking stupid
if i go mass wraith vs goon zeal temp tvp and get raped does that mean p>t?
going unsupported mass hydra ling vs anything except pure goliath mech is essentially the same situation. hell he coulda won anyway had he not thrown away god knows how many units on dumb attacks and drops.

mech isnt even very good, much less imbalanced, zergs just play dumb as fuck vs it. at least jaedong was prepared for the vulture runby unlike all the other idiots.

I think he meant "for one thing." As in, "commentators said it was a mistake, for one thing. And in addition, blah blah blah."

No, Zerg players just aren't reacting well against it at the moment.

Could you enlighten us on how you believe mech is best countered? Is Day9s audiocast on the money with what most koreans do successfully(at least in your games)?

i dunno i havent listened to it
the best way to deal with it is to building wall off vulture runbys then go muta with carapace grades, mass expo and mass muta (terran cant put any pressure at all on you besides the vultures early so you're free to power and expo with every mineral not put into mutas. a handful of hydras helps vs the vultures early on as well, and theyre necessary on maps like desti where the nat cant be completely walled. if terran tries to move out at all the moment hes out of his natural you counter his main with all your mutas, pull out the moment his goliaths get back, if he doesnt come back then you destroy his main and keep pumping mutas/sunken everywhere/keep expoing and running away from his army until you have enough mutas to kill it.

if terran doesnt get aggressive you should start mixing in hydra when you're running 4-5 full bases and have 3+ groups of mutas, but dont cut muta production entirely. its also possible to go hive tech but just taking the entire map and mass hydra muta hardcore seems the most effective. if they try to just keep turtling and taking expos you probably will have to go hive to break them, but they have to invest so much in turret defense and theyre so immobile that theyre never gonna be able to touch your army size unless you engage in a bad position (there is no bad position to engage in on medusa, but be careful of the bridges n stuff on desti)

and never ever ever attack him, ever. you'll only waste units (there are situations where you can do an early timing break, like jaedong vs flash on desti, but on the whole you want to avoid being put into an allin situation like that as its a far lower % than playing the way i suggested). you wait for him to come to you, and even then you delay as long as possible.

I really hope the zergs can block mech, it seems that there's a strategy out already and they're not doing it. I like wraiths, but mech is boring as hell compared to bio and it's too similar to TvP anyways.

Just want to say: All I heard yesterday was how imba Terran mech was, that Terran can make mistakes, but Zerg can't make any mistakes.

Shut the hell up, please. That was a TERRIBLE performance by JD. I've seen so many ridiculous mistakes. You have two spires, you have the failed natural break where he lost all his mutas and most of his his hydras in the beginning, you have the big drop into mined territory where again he lost a lot of hydras and 5-6 overlords and did no damage. He later suicided another control group of mutas directly into a group of turrets without doing damage.

The fact that he came as close as he did while playing like that is amazing.

Your post is going to do what? You are just as biased as the other people in this thread and this will create endless flaming. You do realize he got two spires on purpose, right? Or is this another example of playing bad?

But... you're more wrong...

The two spires weren't on purpose. Jaedong desperately needed hive. He made a mistake, and quickly made the Queen's nest as soon as he realized he couldn't build Hive.

Like someone else mentioned, you need hive to further upgrade the mutalisks. Jaedong was at 2/2 already.

I know I'm wrong about the 2 spires, it's been said three times before. Thank you for the effort for pointing that out though. My post didn't say he was wrong, only biased, I don't think I'm wrong about that.

valkryies are terrible, they cant be microed while firing because they refuse to move until they finish their 8 missile volley and they die to 2 scourge despite costing an ungodly amount of money. this means the cloud of mutas just flies in and surrounds you and all your valkryies die while you desperately try to move them back to clump the mutas. valks are very very rarely used anymore, vessels are significantly better, despite the gas cost.

Idra, what's your thought on mech for game 3 on Return of the King? The map looks really good for mech with it being so cramp and all.

To me, it looked like Light was trying to catch Jaedong off guard by going m&m, but Jaedong didn't fall for it then went lurkers.

i dunno we dont have any zergs in osl so ive never tvzed on there
4 player maps generally arent as well suited since it becomes alot easier for zergs to expo all over the place and constantly counter and run around. fast 3rd gas is good for mech but the one on return of the king doesnt look particularly defensible.
light played that game fucking horribly so dont try to draw any conclusions off of it.

I don't know why Idra is repeatedly insulting all the top programer zergs. They would all brutally rape him in any game. Theory is just talk, the result of the games are decided by execution. We don't live in What-If-Land. Mech is simply easier to execute and get results, probably because of high HP and damage mech units. The TvZ equivalent of PvT 1a2a3a has arrived.

Idra, I followed your advice in this thread last night on a D-D+ noob game last night and it worked out really well. Mutas really take advantage of how clumsy goliaths are, and I was able to deny him taking a third four times and I won almost purely through economic starvation.
