Have to agree with you here. Yeah he's good, but it's not like he's ActionJesus or anything...


Fixed it for you Well, since I havn't seen so much of moonglade before he is impressing me a bit.

No. Every Zerg player playing Massmuta will always keep an eye on their Mutaball and no HSM would EVER hit. So you would only lose the ressources spent on this tech. Also the time you build the raven, you cannot build medivacs, which are really important, if you lose medivacs like Fenix did in this game



The point is to keep the mutas out of battle.

If a zerg is running from HSM, they are not defending a hatchery from a marine push.

If a zerg makes a single micro mistake, their ball takes 100 damage, etc.

It's not too reliable maybe, but we never see it tried :o

Anyone remember a couple of years ago when idra said in an interview that muta harass with unlimited selection would be impossible to balance? :p


would be true if you could micro mutas like in bw, still have 20 explosive dmg turrets and without thors that shoot irradiates ~

I think moonglade shows us that Mutas in massive numbers works anyways ... and I think that is partly true because people usually build "one turret" and think they are safe.


well it was true here cause fenix responded bad and got heavily outplayed. the price you pay for such powerful harrass is a weak force in direct confrontations. mutas are terribly weak in direct fights for their cost.

fenix didnt adapt at all and wasted tons of small groups instead of trying to force the Z into a fight.

this is true and can work. problem is that the 200 gas means a thor ,2 medivacs or 1 1/2 tank less. in addition to the research and the medivac production time you lose from switching onto tech lab . plus the LONG waiting time till hsm is ready.

They are allowed but i remember i think ttone saying he just didnt like it cluttering his screen, although i think the advantage of microing easier waaay outweights that.

It's because he's winning with it.


If the "style" is so common you would think people can stop it, but we all know that's easier said than done. All in all, it's more about game sense and basic macro/micro fundamentals that does the trick.

Yay, I love mass muta play <3 I especially wish I would have seen him immediately get carapace upgrades on them, it really helps vs turrets and marines to make sure you keep a very large muta count. Micro-ing mutalisks is my favorite thing to do in this game. "Oh you made tanks?? I'll just never engage on the ground"

Honestly this is what Idra used to to up until very recently. He stayed on Lair tech for a long time and massed mutas with constant harass. There are a few differences between them but for the most part they were both very lair/muta centric.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Seems to me that Fenix just doesn't have the refined play that Moonglade has.

bling nest and melee +1 for glade.

Hellion "harrass" by fenix killing a lot of zerglings, but are forced to retreat.

Fenix initiation a drop.

Actually I didnt think about the defensive use of HSM, which would secure him the gold and maybe even fourth base. So I agree, maybe it would have been worth a try, though Fenix was dead already.
