Because 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 ?

Lackluster series really. Destiny seemed like a one trick pony just abusing one unit every single game. 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.

Destiny playing like a baws, as per usual. Eventually people will come to terms with the fact that he is a top class player, eventually...


Lmao he's not though, he just literally makes infestors, techs to broodlords, and turtles, and beats players like Puzzle who play 14 hours a day. That's the frustrating part. People need to learn to hard counter him.


Yeah, and that nestea guy. Always makes zerglings and mutalisks in zvt! That's frustrating part. People need to learn to hard counter him.


Yeah, because you can compare Destiny and the best player in the world! Because they're so amazing and flawless!

Woosh.
I'm saying just because one person has a style or uses certain units doesn't mean they are bad or simply gimmicky players. Is Losira bad because he almost always uses a ton of banelings? Is MC bad because his style relies heavily on sentries? Is huk bad because he uses a shit ton of blink stalkers?


So now we are comparing Destiny to Losira and MC as well? whoosh. You act like I don't get your other point that other people use the same unit a lot too. The difference is that those players don't literally do the same strategy for every matchup and win. Stalkers are the most basic gateway unit especially versus zerg and protoss, Losira making a shit load of banelings instead of mutas often used to bite him in the ass, and MC's style doesn't rely heavily on sentries, he just tends to use them better than anyone else.

Yes Destiny is a good player, it's just frustrating to watch him get overhyped because his opponents refuse to hard counter him. He can't really do any other standard style very well besides make infestors and broodlords. People say stuff like Destiny to Code A? If he stepped foot into Korea people would watch his replays and just blindly expand around the map, defend with detection, and make counter units which they completely refuse to do.


+ Show Spoiler +
Did you ignore the fact that he massed roaches when Rain started with mech? Destiny doesn't deviate too far from his core units but he does adapt when there is a need.


He massed roaches and failed Then switched back to Infestors


Well obviously roaches are terrible units against Terran but he didn't know how long Rain was gonna stick to hellion/tanks so he would need roaches rather than lings.

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.

You've been talking alot about these ghosts, how about sharing some replays/VODs where ghosts dominate?

Whenever I see terrans get ghosts, they end up largely ineffective or not worth the cost. Might as well spam vikings/marines at their army and hope it breaks instead. Some terran pros I've heard say ghosts aren't really that effective of an counter, since they get easily sniped by fungals and BL fire.

Also tbh I would be interested in learning ghost use. Currently I can't pull it off at all.

Byun vs Zenio in GSL March on Terminus RE (not the most recent one). Byun had some good ghost play vs infestors, ultras, etc...

Destiny, himself, is saying ghosts are really good right now


Byun lost that match. He played well, but it didn't matter.

No he didn't. GSL March. He won. Not GSL July


Ohreally? wow i didnt see what you wrote :/. but yeah the most recent one fits like the same exact description except he lost so eh.

Yea they were really similar games. Here's the link to the LR for March

are you kidding? just because you add onto ling infestor when you can afford it doesn't mean it's not the same build (usually 15 minutes into the game when destiny is just taking his 3rd on 44 drones)

Not to take anything away from Destiny, but Bomber played with lag(it was on NA server I think?) and Destiny's style is quite aweome and unique. I just doubt Bomber knew just how to respond lol

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.

Terran already needs tanks and medis. They dont have any barracks with tech labs on usually. Getting ghosts is much more difficult for terran than getting infestors for zerg.

And he beat Huk with both ultras and broodlords. On a Korean server. With lag (same as games with Puzzle).

Actually if Terran stop to refuse to use Ghost or Raven and learn to use them they will be the perfect counter to that build. 2 good emp while cloacked will shut down all the infestor capacity. Without that Broodloard and Ling will be stomped by Viking, Tank, Rine.

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

he wins every game with infestor broodlord. the same composition that blizzard says they have their eyes on. the same composition that morrow himself said was super difficult for terrans to deal with.

Marines!

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.
