Yeah it's so annoying when Day9 just keeps saying "go mass infestors, just get like 15 infestors." Ok Day9 tell me where the gas is suppose to come from? You have to be on like 4-5 base of gas to get up that many infestors, so how is zerg suppose to survive till 5 base? Off mass ling or something? | ||

I Beat idra yesterday on NA, but he was playing protoss and his apm was like 100ish. I dont think it was really him, but it was definitely his real account. I kinda think it was Artosis. | ||

Mass infestor: I don't really see this working. Mass infestor might be good against mass blink stalker, althought roach with a modest number of infestors does the job just as well. But in a fight against a death ball infestors just die too fast because of the huge colossus range and the averagely high range of the ball overall including the units that do bonus damage against armored (stalker, voidray). A single fungal is just not gamechangig enough compared to a storm to use infestors as a one hitter especially since the toss units are relatively bulky and have high hp and shields. A storm forces a whole zerg army to retreat, stop fighting. A fungal just hasn't the same potential. Why is the infestor even armored he should be psionic biological? | ||

On the plus side, zerg tends to win baseraces so it's generally a bad idea to keep pushing.. also probes take longer to rebuild than drones, so the economic damage zerg takes can be healed faster. Anyhow, yeah, getting those bases up is a challenge - but if we can find a way, I feel like the lategame aspect of the matchup will become less severely tilted towards protoss. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Ensnare is 190 Supply Incontrol is 120 Ensnare goes to pressure and trade some of his army, gets force field trapped + Protoss'd Incontrol ends up at 200/200 and just rolls OgsEnsnare Ensnare shouldn't allow EGIncontrol to reach 200/200 but he tried pressuring the front and dropping 2 spots at once. He got smoked at all 3 angles. The same happens to Zerg when we try to stop them 200/200 turtling, except we don't have as effective drop options. | ||
