Not a balance question - asking for my own benefit in ZvT
HT seemed to have so much stuff when that drop went down. Medivacs, vikings, marines/marauders. Assuming Check had responded properly, what *could* he have had at that point to tackle it? Would he have needed to avoid expanding? Did he just over-drone? Or was he trying for mutas too quickly (infestor/baneling being the better option, for example)? I need to understand what I just saw better.
Thanks!

Very difficult to say without watching a replay. I did notice Check got supply capped due to the overlord losses. Part of overcoming the strategy is going to need to be changing overlord scouting.
Not getting supply capped + spending money on spore crawler + not losing 300 min in overlord would have made a large difference. Even if that was all just zerglings (assuming he had the larva available) that's around 15 zerglings, minimum, added to his army.
