EPTBecause ghosts are actually a big investment, and are also units that are very fragile.
And infestors are free and doesn't get annihilated in one shot by everything right ?

I'd be interested in seeing how Koreans approach a counter to this mass Infestor style. Infestors already do well vs marines, now they can kill vikings/armored units too, with MUCH higher dps. Why isn't Nestea using them more eh? Nestea's too busy winning hundreds of thousands of $$$ to watch Destiny stream I guess. | ||

I don't think Destiny is as good as the real pros though. He's good enough to take games off them but he's not gonna win any major tournaments yet. | ||

I believe it was the first time we saw Ghosts used in TvZ extensively. | ||

How many possible combinations are there in this game for Zerg? there can't be very many Well, this puts Destiny's wins in comparison with Morrow's 5rax reapers. Without the use of mass infestors with the 1.3 patch, would Destiny have the same success in ZvT? It's not exactly like he's got Nestea's arsenal to fall back on. | ||

Ah thank you, for some reason I thought it was Haypro vs Ganzi... but yea it was on Terminus and it shows how you should react to this heavy infestor style play quite well. | ||

With lag (same as games with Puzzle). | ||

But if T still say only : Oh no Ghost they're not cost efficiant.... (and they are) infestor OP, they will lose everytime. ;-) But hey they're Terran they want to use MAX 3 unit in every MU. | ||

I don't know why this style really never took off in TvZ. I missed the rematch but I followed the LR. It looked like Byun might have tried it again and messed up vs Zenio. However, I never really see anyone else using ghosts. Several zerg players said they even think ghosts will be good vs them. Idra has said it, Destiny said it in the post game interview... Idk. Maybe we'll see how things develop in the future | ||

Honestly though, people will make excuses for anything for very obscure and silly reasons. Destiny has practiced and grown into a great player and just like any great player, there will be a crowd of people boo'ing them and making excuses for every single win. | ||
