I think Stephano's got the best infestor control in the world, and his control in general is sooo good. I don't see many zerg players split their broodlords while controlling their infestors like Stephano does (He split them up into 4-5 groups while also splitting up his infestors, and using 1 at a time to FG the deathball WHILE using another infestor to FG target the templars). Though to be fair Stephano's been playing like this since he started playing. But he always just does the little things so well and so consistently like taking his gases while his hatchery is still morphing or throwing pre emptive infestors before engaging or spining up/putting detectors in EVERY base.

Ye I dont think you can. Silly as it sounds I think the best answer is indeed archon toilet.

Really, the problem is that there is no way for zerg to translate a huge lead in economy into attack, once protoss reaches 140~150 food with aoe, without going to the super late BL+infestor style.

20 voidrays


not rly, infeostrs pwn voidrays.

its gotta be a mix of blinkstalkers, voidrays, archons, colossi, a mothership and HTs for feedback.

Archons are useful if you manage to vortex, they tank lots of damage and kill broodlings reasonably fast. colossi kill broodlings, hts feedback infestors. voidray and blinkstalkers to focus and finish the broodlords. mothership quite obvious.

The casters didn't even say that, why are you so insistent on bad mouthing the casters all game long? He said the +1 armor helped Stephano (in the last engagement - he didn't even have templars out then), not that it reduced storm.

When he said it the last engagement was Stephano trying to push forward with broodlords and getting stormed. They were literally talking about how big the storms were then going "but the +1 armor helped the broodlords so much in that engagement!". There have definitely been a few grievous errors during the cast.

I am beginning to suspect that they modified the maps to only have cross positions :D

Anyway, I love it, they can keep on that way all night!

lol, they said it right when the first 2 storms on the bls got off "man the carapace helped so much there" (before the acutal engagement).

its just 1 of 100 points i could tell ya, i do not understand how u can defend what these guys are saying. Any1 who has a bit of game-understanding can just facepalm acutally.

but enough caster bashing, dont wanna get banned. Thats what mute was made for

Wow, getting outmacro'd the whole game and still facerolling with ling/ultra/infestor. Sad is quite an understatement for the Zealot. It should be suicidal depressive.

why is tails still going for colossi and not immortals+archons.

He need something that can snipe Infestors without being useless vs. other things (ie. not HTs; and merging Archons won't do anything in the middle of a battle) and doesn't eat up all his gas. Also, NP can easily grab archons and immortals as he did in the earlier battle. He's going heavy Immortal / Archon now, but that makes things easier for Stephano, with NP.
