I agree with what they were saying, Protoss has to be more active with harrassment. Multi-pronged agression with Blink stalkers, DTs, zealots, mix it up

I disagree, Stephano beat DRG in the GSL invitational.


You're basing this off a Bo1? o-O

Then I might as well use another retarded logic and base it on A beat B, but C beat A so C is better than A. That is, DRG beat MC whom beat Stephano so DRG is better... come on man.

I'm not saying either player is better, but your logic is just not there.

Fungal + infested terran + corrupter destroy carrier unless have have like 30 of em. Carriers are never used, because they really are godawful vs Zerg. Or Terran. Or Protoss really.

Who would have thought a year ago that Zerg would have the scariest deathball in SC2? Funny how things turn out.

What happened to people getting some void rays against broodlords, that used to work quite well didn't it? or do infestors make that a bad thing to do.

Yep, infestor are too good against voids

I thought as much, this army for zerg does look WAY too unbeatable though. Not a balance whine because i know they'll change it for HotS, but it sucks


Well, it's balanced in a shitty way. Protoss has to kill Zerg early or do massive damage. If you play a passive game, you will get the snot beaten out of you by any good zerg, since their deathball is unbeatable without a good archon toilet.

That's why MC still does good vs Zerg. He just 7gates blinks all the time


Not true. Hero and JYP win late game vs Zerg all the time.

Problem is he had 3/3 air upgrades, and as soon as he scouted that tech switch, with his lovely 10000/4000 bank he could immediately make 40 fully upgraded corruptors, plus what he already had

Carriers weren't the answer there... Maybe if would've started the production WAY earlier, had full upgrades and overwhelming number... maybe then.

Have you ever tried building carriers? They need ages...

Carriers are pretty weak to corruptors as well

Yeah so does getting up a broodlord infestor corruptor army. The way stephano played(super passive) just invited carrier tech switch.

I've seen plenty of tosses beat infestor broodlords with carrier/mothership based armies. MC, Hongun, Huk, they all eventually tech switch to carriers.

They're actually not that weak, considering you'd need like 15-25 corruptors to deal with even 5-6 carriers. Carriers scale with numbers, and the fact that during the time your target firing carriers it means that your getting hit by stalker fire.

Grubby needs to hack limbs off with a machete instead of poking with needles. Harass more forcefully and perhaps delay his 4th a little and increase your warpgate count to do so. You really can't go toe to toe with mass infestor/broodlord/corrupter unless you get lucky or have flawless control.

Metalopolis is like the perfect map for this style, so easy to split the map and trutle on 6 base (lol) until you have the perfect army. Also spines everywhere.

It feels like mship + Carriers + archon + 2-3 colossous + hts is the way to go.

If he comes with a bunch of corruptors to snipe the carriers then you can get a good vortex and use the archons.

The carriers have sick DPS so they can easily snipe brood lords

Not much chance for protoss against that composition on this map (too little space to harass), Grubby should've tried to end it early. Never thought I'd see the day where protoss has no chance against the zerg deathball! ^^"

I like how the "protoss deathball is unbeatable" changed to "zerg deathball is unbeatable", while protoss got buffed and zerg got nerfed :D

zerg brains function slower i guess, they realized they have T3 units and casters as well ~.~


€: i have to admit, that grubby couldve microed the Mothership better. Furthermore, Metalopolis has to end in midgame, cause otherwise, zerg is unbeatable: 1 less goldbase by mapdesign for the toss, small chokes everywhere, small mid. no safe ffe. horrible.
