Viable Alternative.

But as a Zerg player, I'd like an "Annoying" option.

Valkyries' fundamental weaknesses remain unchanged: they are still high up the tech tree, expensive, immobile while firing and weak against scourge. It's only a matter of time before zergs get them under control.

the glich with a lot of units causing valks to not fire often makes them useless late game. i think it's the maps anyway.

it's not revolutinary, if the Terrans start to use it often, the zergs will adopt very fast and crush it. But it's a viable option, since it has also the element of surprise.

Imo, it's a step in TvZ evolution, and an efficient alternative to the normal muta build.

Zerg will have to adapt and the gameplay will evolve. As usual.

Isn't that exactly what happened with the Bisu build? And people said that was revolutionary..

Couldnt be revolutionary.
I have a replay of Boxer dating back to 2002-4 where he uses Valkyries against a Z on LT.

I think they are good if the zerg is doing the muta build and get surprised by valk timing.
If spotted, I dont see why wraiths arent much different. Easier to harass with wraiths since it also attacks the ground.

I'm glad sAviOr wasn't a victim of that.

I'd say viable alternative. It can easily be crushed but there are many factors that prevent it from being so.
First off, element of surprise. As any other build, this element can help players win game.
Second, it causes panic, and makes them make premature decisions.
Third, most Zergs have issues adapting. They wouldn't know what to do in this case, until a specific counter will have been released.

The best thing about Valkyries are not their ability to kill ovies/mutas but the way most Zerg players will react to it if Valkyrie number increases by so much that scourges start becoming ineffective. These Zergs who have trouble adapting will probably transition to mass hydra as a counter, which will then get countered by tanks

As a Zerg player, I feel like the most important way to bring down Valkyries is Scourges. Cheap, efficient, and can be snuck under while Mutas soak up the damage
Jaedong is the Hope of Zergs.
