Of the 23 series played thus far, only 9 have been 2-0's. Hell, Select even dropped a TvP game to Nifi (whoever the hell that is...guy proceeded to get 2-0'd by Killer). | ||

They do horribly vs speedlings too, which happen to have around double their movement speed. I dont want to argue about ZvZ styles, but i know for a fact a lot of GM zergs have been using mutas recently with some success, IdrA included on his stream I find it rather silly that your argument consists of "ling bling is good against hydras", as if hydras compose the core part of any widely-used zerg army. There are many different styles, and I am merely pointing out the huge flaw in one of them. In this case the "I will tech to mutas after failed aggression" 2 base strategy. | ||

It is a flimsy style, but ive seen it work with suprising frequency Muta ling is pretty much standard at the level I'm playing at. (NA GM / High Masters). Mutas are good because it allows me to take a 3rd and maybe even a 4th base while the non-muta user is stuck on 2. | ||
