well so long as he still plays his excellent ZvZ, the PvZ shouldn't matter tomorrow anyhow :p
Its strange that progamers are still trying to use mass infestors against lategame protoss.
Mass BL has more power than mass infestors now... I wonder why they still try to get more than 6 infestors.
Could be because they play the game at a different level than you do and have a different understanding of it.
But it still dont understand. Infested terrans nerfs destroyed the mass IT power.
So yes, it's obvious its not working anymore.
But BL were not nerfed, and before mass IT, mass BL was very common.
It's very strange, i have the feeling that they are stuck with their last auto-win strategy.
But probably we will see more tricky play in ZvP now, like nestea vs parting at the last IronSquid. 10 pool, mutas and all this plays will probably come back.
It has nothing to do with auto-win. Korean Protoss really refined their 3 base all-ins that hit before Broodlord tech. The only way Zergs were holding those pushes was with Infestors and Infested Terrans were a big part of it.

This is indeed a huge nerf who will probably change the way Zergs play the midgame ZvP, but somehow I am still confident in Life's abilities to pass this group ez pz.
With Parting and Squirtle leaving ST, I don't think I could handle Life going out in Ro32. He won't, though, because he's going to beat Symbol, then Creator (who just beat Byul) and then kill everyone!
