Watch Hashe use cloaked ghosts against that composition. I don't know if he has a replay pack but he's very good at using them. He also gets nuke for them too and uses it surprisingly well. He makes it look completely viable.

MorroW plays from sweden and also has to go up in the middle of the night to play, your point is invalid.

Do you have any replays of mass ghost being rolled by ling baneling later on?

Morrow looks stronger than him in ZvP and ZvT. The only matchup that IdrA seems to have an advantage over him is in ZvZ.
A few months ago IdrA was stronger in all matchups. He's starting to be left behind. I'm starting to think Morrow is the best foreigner zerg. Sen>DIMAGA=MorroW>Idra IMO If Sen brushed up on his ZvT I'd agree with you. But he does not look strong in it at all. Morrow and Dimaga are relatively close though. I'll give you that. Sen needs to learn from Morrow or Dimaga in ZvT. Morrow needs to learn from Dimaga or Sen in ZvZ. Dimaga needs to learn from Sen or Morrow in ZvP. Then they'll all be unstoppable power houses. As for Idra, he seems to have other priorities in life at the moment, so it's really up to him whether he wants to try to address his weaknesses or not. Nerchio - unfortunately he doesn't play in many big tournaments, as someone above said, but I think he's definitely an excellent player and up there in terms of foreigner Zergs. Should also mention Vibe, an up-and-coming NA Zerg, as well as Sheth, Slush, etc. for runner ups. Morrows ZvT is better than Dimagas ATM (IMO). Dimaga unfortunately keeps using ultras instead of broodlord/infestor/corruptor.
Broodlord/infestor/corruptor does looks like a pretty unstoppable combo. Terrans really need to start experimenting with everything they can think of. Because clearly marines/tanks/vikings isn't working right now. Options are keep losing a pray for a patch or try out anything and everything (ghosts, ravens whatever).

Nada was still on 2/2 by the time he got on 4 bases... and he was behind the last 10 minutes.
It's not exactly the biggest secret that a 6 base zerg with every single tech tree and upgrade imaginable with lots of money banked is hard to deal with
nada didn't have an equivalent economy or tech so he lost
|
I think terran is in a tough spot on large maps vs Zerg. Your almost forced into a macro game, which is bad for terran anyway, but if you don't have MMA multi-task and marine splitting, its frickin hard after say 10-12 minutes.
Nada didn't leave his base in any of the three games. Thats just not good play.

No, but vikings out-range corruptors and without fungals to hold the vikings down they are much more effective, again.

How are cloaked ghosts extremely difficult to deal with... Zerg's response is to make a few overseers (two?) and tons of spore crawlers everywhere. The creep is already surrounding the map, its not like the ghost are going to be able to sneak around.
Its not going to really stop infestors, much like templar have a very difficult time getting feedbacks off.

+1
never said mass ghosts. 3-4 with cloak is sufficient to shutdown the majority of fungals.
gotta be a bit more open minded drox n co

Oh yes poor terrans, their race is so UP, they can't even win a major tournament anymore. Oh, wait a minute I forgot about MLG and GSL.

Okay whatever, Nada has always been poor with TvZ. Honestly guys cut the fucking crap. We had an all terran GSL semis with most of the top zergs getting knocked out with macro play.

Wouldn't have mattered that game, but if you have a bunch of ghosts, maybe you survive, if you cloak, and zerg has no detection, and you EMP perfectley, and you micro your marines really well, and unsiege your tanks, and have enough Vikings, ...... Then maybe you win. Otherwise your dead. Otherwise you: 1. don't allow zerg to expand 13 million times; 2. expand yourself a bunch; 3. build a crapton of PFs, turrets and bunkers everywhere; 4. harass some more --> honestly, nada tried to harass some, but wasn't nearly enough, especially for him (i'm surprised)

Ok here's another point that is valid, nada plays with lag... terran requires more micro then zerg... he has to wake up in the middle of the night.. .but wait theres more! He has to go to school in the morning! but wait.... theres even more! It's finals week in korea!

Nada didn't leave his base with his main army in either of the three games. so this :Good games anyways. Passive terran is bad terran! is very valid.
|
nada was afraid of being offensive because of lag (hard to micro marines against banelings with delay) so he was forced into a turtle play. my theory
|
I don't understand how terrans are not making 3-4 ghosts vs Infestors, but have no fucking problem making 3-4 ghosts vs high templar.
Korean terrans are completely dominating in every MU and you still complain about the super end game zerg army that is 100% reliant on fungals that can be negated with an AoE spell?
