Always knew the infestors will be hella imba. When engaging a zerg army, it'll have to be easily massable yet high hp army. Anything big like colossus and thor will be completely useless.

Wow, thanks for the great write-up of a superb game.

From what I've seen of streams, Infestors are really interesting units that will see a lot of play in the future, though it isn't quite a natural replacement of the defiler. I feel as though the planetary fortress is still quite an overlooked aspect of the Terran arsenal though; mostly I've seen it used in planetary fort rushes ala those in Diggity's 1000th commentaries and rarely is it used otherwise in spite of its astounding power (67 kills, wow), especially with the upgrades to armor and range that it has access to.
Stats. The new standard bearer of the protoss.

EDIT: Kinda really off topic, sorry. Just a thought that occured to me after reading this part of the conclusion: People have said that this game will lack the crazy micro abilities of SC1, where you see things like Marines being split against Lurkers, Vultures mining Dragoons, Storms blanketing the Terran army. SC2 will have these too, it will just be using Infestors, using Banelings, using Ravens, and so forth.

Incidentally, that's a real question, I don't have the Beta, so I was wondering.

problem is, the way that the Colossus attacks in order to split you have to run units either directly toward or away from the Colossus. if you run away, you cant attack it cause you are out of range, and if you run towards it you're running into his entire army, which means you'll probably die before getting to attack.

Wait. Neural Parasite is automatically researched. Infestors cost 100/150. For 100/150, you can remove any single unit from your opponent's army and place it into your own for the duration of a battle, like a slightly less effective mind control that 1) Costs 200/50 less than a mind control per unit and is faster to spawn. 2) Is decreased by 200/200 in research cost and 100% in research speed. 3) Costs 100 less energy and so can be continuously casted (Needs good micro and focus, but can be made to last effectively 30 seconds for the same energy as MC). 4) Does not leave the unit that casted it with 25 hp remaining.

I mean sure I don't have beta, which is like the typical disclaimer here, and also I am comparing the stats to that of an SC1 unit that no longer exists but isn't this a problem regardless? Feel free to tell me lol there is a counter, of course.
There is but one truth.

really really excellent battle report!

honestly, this brought me back to the days before replays and VODs, when everything was typed up and paired with screenshots. and it was thoughtful to have the visual settings set to low and a resolution similar to sc1, makes everything so much easier to see

Ah, I see. If you don't mind me asking another question, I think Collosi can move over other ground units, right? If so, what happens if you move one of your own units directly underneath? Does the Collosus have a 'blind spot' there, so to speak?

A few EMP rounds would probably render an Infestor army useless.

Infestors are a great unit for sc2 i think. Terran and protoss have way better scouting than zerg, so you know it's coming and therefore will be able to get the appropriate way to defend yourself. I can see a sick metagame of caster vs. caster like in BW where it was science vessel vs. arbiters, except now its infestor vs. ghost, infestor vs. templar, ghost vs. templar. All these casters are relatively easily researched and massable making for great additions to any army.

Ghosts can either spam snipe or EMP infestors, which the zerg will have to get detection to see.

I can definitely see making neural parasite a research ability though. Automatic is a little overpowered unless ghosts and templar come with all their spells auto also.

The tongue animation does bother me a bit. I would prefer to see something like a tentacle whip- action. that would be cool.

It's called the infestor, but it doesn't really have a signature "infesting" ability. O well, lets just see how things go.

Neural parasite? You're basically taking control of it for a short duration infesting it with the will of the overmind?
