Picking up the phone is a bullshit excuse for a pause. U can call them back later, ingame is a sort of skypecall, ur taken till the game ends. Answering the door or toilet, is different and deserves a pause..

So, I am curious. In TvZ why don't terrans get 1 thor when the Z goes muta/ling/bling vs your biomine? Thor potentially soaks baneling hits, it forces mutas to spread which makes picking off mines harder (if not impossible), and you have a medivac to transport it.

I hope you're joking. Going to the toilet can wait unless you suddenly have to go poop. You could've peed before the game. Plus the amount of time answering the phone is the amount of time spent going to the toilet. Or less. And all I do is just ask for a pause. I don't even tell them the reason. I know for a fact that if I played you on ladder and said I had to go answer the door, you probably would just unpause the game and then take advantage of the situation.

Because it takes far too long to build and it costs a ton compared to Widow Mines. The good thing about Thors is that they have that crazy range, which mines don't have.

This is true, but it also means they cant use mutalisks nearly as efficiently to clean up mines. The value of a single thor seems like it would be worth it, especially with the new speed medivacs... with good control you would probably get away with only ever building the one.

why thors aren't used in traditional mech play.

1. they slow down your army.
2.biomine doesn't use any factory with tech lab
3.mutas aren't a problem in head on engagements, marines with medivacs wreck mutas.
4.no upgrades
5.one Thor is useless against mutas anyway, you need 3 to fight mutas.
6.a lot of zergs don't get lots of mutas, just enough for cleanup and killing medivacs.
7.if Ling muta hit, you have to manually tell the thor to attack the mutas or they'll hit zerglings
8.the Thor will get damaged in each battle if it doesn't die, and it's troublesome to repair it.

9.biomine is already brutally effective with good drop and split micro and good macro

As Zerg, how to deal with Widowmine drop? It's impossible to scout unless you happen to spot the Medivac coming and its before Lair (No overseer to clear mines). Blind spore behind each mineral line at 6 minutes?

@Yoshi I don't play Zerg, but from looking at replays - you can put overlords at edges of the map in proper places to gain earlier vision and to put your army in place. In an ideal situation you'll be able to deal enough dmg to the drops before they'll burrow or to scare the drop away. When a mine burrows you can send a Zergling there to bait it and/or if you haven't started building Spore then maybe it's the right time - mines won't attack the building, but still can kill the drone. If your other base(s) are not fully saturated you can move your drones there.

Just tested this. Incredibly, yes. They work nicely when hitting marines, or they might hit a nearby widow mine.

Wish the upgrade was cheaper though, considering how limited its uses are...

So, I've always heard people say whilrwind is zerg favored. Is this true?
I'm having a real hard time against terran on that map. Currently have an 18% winrate
Edit: The ease of dropping and runbys for terran is what makes this map so hard for me.

After years of playing Masters Terran, I've decided to switch to Zerg. Can anyone recommend good, basic/beginner Zerg builds for me?

HBmaKro, check out Tang's three barrel bust thread on TL. Also Google 'day9 daily stephano jerkface style'. Of course the simplest is a 6-8 pool. If it doesn't kill at lower levels, you can follow with speedling runby, baneling bust or muta harass. I'd post links but I'm on an old phone.
