Mass medivac is so good vs. infestor play due to the fact the Zerg really can never kill the medivacs.

I am a mid masters zerg and was running into this strategy more and more on ladder (this was probably 3-4 months ago). I have a smurf for every race and I decided to use an MKP build where u go 1 rax expo into a 1-1 combat shield 9 min timing attack while getting a 3rd behind it. This I believe was MLG Columbus but could be wrong. During I believe MLG Winter Arena finals it was quite simple, I only counted 4 siege tank volleys going off in the series vs drg. The tanks were worthless. This blew my mind and I decided to use MKP's 1 rax expo w/ timing push on ladder, but instead of getting tanks when I establish my third I just make moar marines. Your 3-3 finishes stupidly fast at around 14 mins I believe and the zerg cannot keep up. On my terran smurf I left every tvt and tvp and only played tvz. It is still high diamond and would definitely be masters if I did not leave all those but I would rather cut my hands off than play tvt, that is a different story. Anyways my win rate is 85-1 going marine medivac (no marauders). I never made 1 tank and on several maps made my 3rd a planetary but there is a point where u can keep making OC so you can nonstop mule. The goal with this style is to literally drop EVERYWHERE while also pushing with some army. What will happen is that your army will get crushed, get crushed, get crushed, get crushed, get crushed, get crushed, get destroyed, and then all of a sudden you have this one engagement where the zerg has spent so much on blings/infestors and runs out of them and all of a sudden you are left with basically a medivac per marine and then you have an unstoppable push where the zerg gets to a point where he is only rallying lings and 3-3 marines w/ medivacs can nom-nom on lings as long as he doesnt have a lot of surface area. The strategy is to never give up never surrender because you will have one push that dominates the zerg. A lot of people say "once the zerg has infestors and ultras out the bio gets destroyed" If you let the zerg get to that point then you arent dropping enough. If he does get to that point you have to pray that you can get good surface area and are quick on repairing your planetaries. Also, once ultras come out, they cannot deal with drop harass at all, ultras are only good in straight up fights. With this style my food count never goes up over 140-150 and that might sound terrible, but the moment you get that push that dominates the zerg you skyrocket to 200/200. Off of 3 bases you can make around 25 marines at a time w/ medivacs and if you are able to build up enough oribitals you are able to get insane production. I have not played around with marauders but unless ultras are out, you have to use them to tank bling hits and snipe infestors and being able to do that is a million times harder than it sounds, but Polt is a freaking boss at it. Just keep building medivacs, obviously the joke within the community is that marines are imba, but the reality is that medivacs are :D

Edit: now with 4 queen opener the 1-1 combat shield push outright kills zergs that are greedy and skip baneling nest or at least their 3rd is 99% guaranteed dead
