EPTI really need to learn something here. All my stuff turn into a pile of goo the moment i realize i have Mech on my ass.
And how awesome is the baneling bomb drop?! Definitely gonna incorporate that into my play.

Flanking, feinting, overlord sac'ing, baneling dropping all to counter terrans 1a2a siege play. Then, the terran's push was still very nearly successful. Something seems a bit wrong about that. +1 ps - people saying that positioning is key for the 1a2a army... dont kid yourself, its not that hard in sc2. Positioning of ur 1a2a is infinitely easier than defeating your 1a2a. | ||

This is all and good for the midgame, you just have to be careful to transition into some tier 3 (or be good at using infestors or drops) otherwise you'll get rolled when he reaches critical mass. | ||

Sen brought it back and was featured by Day9 for his interesting strat of using muta vs terran again. The idea isn't to transition to t3, or to win with muta. The whole point is to 1 base tech straight to muta, hide the spire with OL creep, and then harass with them and expand. While harassing he'd build his roach warren and evo chambers. He was just trying to contain and force them to make more thor/marine and less tank/marauder so he could burrow move roach to victory. | ||

Yea, but I still feel like this kind of just works because its Sen doing it. Usually when I do mutas, I hid the spire but do it off of 2 bases. It works to get the opponent to go thor and expand like you said, but I've had trouble using burrowed roaches vs thors. Normally I go for ultra drops and baneling drops on the tank line and then sprint in with roaches. I guess the burrowed roaches are just Sen's style, and hes good with that. | ||

Oh, and i also love the muta opening because it gives you control of the air. This stops all sorts of overlord sniping/banshee bs/annoying drops and just generally makes the game easier. If he starts going vikings to try and take air control back, you've basically already won. | ||

I'm blown away every time I see Sen play. Before facing Sen TLO claimed that his TvZ was unstoppable. Sen took him down quite a few notches. Sen was invited, he was unable to play though. | ||
