What would you do against thor hellbat? That is honestly one of the easiest mech compositions to beat. I said in the video what I would do if they push out and thor/hellbat gets wrecked by roach/swarmhost. So if in that game he had done any sort of push I would have had roach/swarmhost and that beats it really handily. | ||

Try to flank if possible, if not just try to engage in as big of an arc as possible with roach/swarmhost. Don't focus thors otherwise they will micro them back and hellbats will do more damage then they should. | ||

You should consider that he was probably just messing around. I think had you paid attention I said that  . | ||

This composition forces tanks, yet all your corruptors means he will be super wary of broodlords, so they're forced to get Tank Raven Viking, but then, given enough spores, he can't engage you without all the spore shots draining PDD in your favor. The only thing I can possibly think that could beat this is mass turret, tank, BC, raven nukes to eventually push you back with nukes. And even then, its basically a stalemate... | ||

I'm talking like 50 corruptors, and only morph them to broods after their ravens deplete their energy.

Uh seriously nothing from zerg beats raven/bc/viking. If you get that composition out unless you mess up bad you win. So get that comp :D | ||

First, what do you think is the best response against banshee openings into mech, opening and transition into what you talked about. Second, how do you react with players that begin stock piling ravens earlier than bomber did? Should you be able to kill them somehow? | ||

Second, how do you react with players that begin stock piling ravens earlier than bomber did? Should you be able to kill them somehow? It's hard to stockpile ravens earlier then when bomber was going to, it leaves your ground army way to weak and he would have probably died worse. Most terrans want a 4 base economy as they need quite a bit of time to get it on 3 base, it's just hard to have enough ground units and then add a bunch of ravens without dying on 3 bases. Hydra or muta's are fine, really up to you. Mutalisks are probably better because if they aren't with the mech army they will die. | ||

He doesn't have much anti-air other than widow mines and the swarm hosts dont do much of a contain against someone who is playing passively anyways. Mutalisks aren't going to do anything either. It's fine to go mutalisks (I do this sometimes), but they are not really going to accomplish anything unless the terran is bad. The swarmhosts aren't meant to kill the opponent, it's meant to contain him while teching and using them to delay pushes (locusts are very good at that). I think people mis understand the role of the sh versus mech. They aren't meant to kill the terran, just contain and be used to delay pushes while getting their tech out (or units) and slow the push rather then losing units you are losing free units and dealing damage to the ball while slowing it down a ton. | ||
