What artosis talked about was roach/ling with fast melee upgrades into baneling drops, but it looks like (and IdrA said, yesterday on ITG) that he prefers a lot of infestors over a few infestors + baneling drops. he just crushed the DREAMLegosu guy he was up against using it, I didn't catch the first half of game 1 but I'll be watching it as soon as VODs go up ^______________^ I'm stealing that shit | ||

+ Show Spoiler + pretty much, although I've never heard of Legosu so that's what I'd have expected game 2 was pretty lol though, legosu tried to hallucinate IdrA out of the game, but it seems like IdrA's learned from that :D | ||

Losira hit MC's mineral lines at MLG, causing MC to lose the game, yet that is actually very rare, if you watched the Sen series he pulls almost instantly. It's also very hard to hit blink stalkers with them, especially with sentries, archons, and colossus mixed in. The only time I see them being useful is very late when alraedy maxed. A overlord with 4 banelings only accounts for 2 supply, so you can easilly have 10 overlords with 40 banelings and do fast, hard damage on fungal stalkers after your infestor count is high enough and with ultra support. Putting an overlord with 4 +2 banes outside every mining base would be nice as well. Wait until a big battle where a protoss will have to focus on blink micro, then send the overlords in (This will take 2 seconds with control groups). If there is no cannon to pull aggro, the banes will auto-kill 10-20 probes at each base, enough to end the game Will be interesting to see how they fit into the metagame. | ||

The 80 damage to buildings is a passive skill, are you saying you can turn it off, or that they will auto-ignore cannons for probes unless you turn that passive on? | ||
