EPTDifferent, he basically tried to defend with lurkers/spinecrawlers/spores and used the swarmhosts to destroy infrastructure.
Didn't watch him the whole time though, but it looked doable (and way more active)

He used it against Z and against T. Against Z it was mech-like game, setting spines, spores and Lurkers everywhere while harassing with Swarm Hosts. He also used some Lings, Roaches and Hydras for defense and later for push. His game against T was a lot better showcase of what they can do. T went for mech, harassed with Hellbats and Medivac-Tank combo, Stephano made just Lings and Queens and went straight into mass Swarm Hosts, he had like 20 of them. I really liked that heavy Ling + Swarm Host style as Terran just couldn't keep up with harassment that flying Locusts and Lings can do. He crushed majority of Terran's economy and Terran went for last push with mass Tanks and Hellbats, but Stephano switched into ~20 Mutas and it was gg. I liked them a lot actually, but they are definitely harder to use than old Swarm Hosts. | ||

Legit not a bad idea. Using higher than Tier 1 units to counter Tier 3 units seems completely reasonable to me. Maybe only make Snipe work vs ground units too so Ghosts don't go back to owning all Zerg T3. It's not like you're going to mass Ghosts and Snipe Mutas, anyway. | ||

As a Terran I'm loving it haha. He pulled off a split or 2 towards the end though | ||

He pulled off a split or 2 towards the end though Which is probably the reason why he won, as those 2 Disruptors didn't do anything, plus he killed some more and they cost 300 gas each. Huk didn't have gas in the end, which explains his heavy Zealot commitment. | ||

Yeah, it is pretty much an all or nothing/very little unit. Do damage or die. Pretty lame Sure, warp prisms can pick it up, but the fact that all the other player can do is split to minimise damage alone makes the unit silly. | ||
