How the FUCK does a protoss counter infested terrans lol Dark Archon MC the Queen before it infests, duh!  Nah, the Infested Terrans are pretty lethal, but I don't think it's actually going to be something that completely devastates Protoss on the map. They can still destroy the CC before the Queen gets there. | ||

It is definitely bullshit that dragoons can easily kill them. Kal lost his dragoons not once and twice to them. When you are attacked by a hord of zerglings, 2 control groups of hydra and two infested marines it rather hard to eliminate them before they reach the main army... Before definite judgement about balance issue we will have to wait for a bit but so far it seems that PvZ will be really hard. As someone said above we have to see how will reaver-sair work on this map and for some other tosses to play it. | ||

Except Mines are FREE while making 10x infested will cost you 1000 minerals / 500 gas and supply And you can only make 1 infested at a time slowly, once you make about 4 vultures, thats already 12 mines right there. And mines are cloaked. And they don't cost supply and once T starts getting them, he can get like 353252 of them in mid game | ||

I wish a new good balanced map could be made, where terran is not imba in tvz and zerg is not imba in zvp. | ||

How the FUCK does a protoss counter infested terrans lol Use fucking corsairs. Zero's army was criminally small, lacking in scourge too. The sairs could have easily dominated the overlords on that. When he starts charging, do what Kal did and sacrifice 1-2 zealots to make it a fairly even trade. With the exception of the ht snipes, Kal did okay defending against the rines, but he seemed LOST on what to do with the overlord drops. Kal *should* have done better that game. There's no excuse turtling 2 base against a fast tech, low army zerg unless you're Rock. To point out, assuming Zero hadn't fast tech'd to queen and pumped rines, he'd have had a MUCH larger hydra/lurk force than that and he could've afforded drops into the gateway line (you saw his ovies hovering over the perfect drop spot). I can't stress enough that the ITs weren't really a game changer -- it was the vicious lurker contain and threat of drops in the main that did it, plain and simple. ITs just expounded on it cleverly and amusingly. | ||

I can only potentially accept the killing of three cannons at once as something he couldn't have just done with hydraling -_- It widdled down kals army and one of them even killed 3 dragoons not to mention sniping temps. | ||

Zero outplayed him with a terrible strategy, all there is to it. | ||
