They beat them by chipping around the edges and not LETTING Zerg get that composition going, with a big bank and spines at every base. It's map dependent as well, on Meta there is pretty much nowhere that is suitable for a good engagement against that comp. | ||

JYP has 100% map control (but map is almost mined out), Dimaga has ONE base left with 40 spine crawlers and a maxed out Zerg deathball army of Corruptor/Infestor/Brood Lord. JYP had all the time in the world to change his composition in order to try to break the base, he still couldn't do it,,, Dimaga won the game | ||

I've seen plenty of tosses beat infestor broodlords with carrier/mothership based armies. MC, Hongun, Huk, they all eventually tech switch to carriers. Not really true. Yes, it takes a long time to tech up to, but once you have the tech, you can have a full army in a minute, simply because of how Zerg production works. Protoss however can only build one Carrier at a time per Stargate, and each takes 120 seconds, even if you build like 4 Stargates, it would take like 5 minutes with chrono boost to get a dozen of them... and then they just die anyway because Carriers are godawful :/ | ||

There was only about 2k gas left on the entire map, whatever tech switch he wanted would not have been enough. His 11k minerals was useless. JYP could never have breached Dimaga's fort, he should have just backed up himself and tried to go for a draw. | ||

He had so many opportunities to snipe hatcheries with DT's both when his shrine finished and when he had the warp prism in the bottom of the map. When it gets to 10 spines at every base and max brood/infestor then sure he can't win but he made a lot of errors by not utilising major harass opportunities. Read his post again: the question was how to beat this composition of broodlord infestor, not how to win a game vs stephano. the real problem are the infestors, because the counter everything with chain fungal. i think there should be a delay so that you cant fungal the same unit again for a short period so that there is a way to run after a fungal. i feel like carries could beat broodfestors, but they are too easily countered with corrupters | ||

In theory they could win on unit test map yeah... but not on meta. so I urge you to show some replay proof or it didn´t happen. | ||

So you're saying you would move your templar forth and feedback 25 infestors and storm all the corruptors without getting oneshotted and blocked by broodlings and/or fungaled one single time and trapping them all? If you even leave like 5 infestors alive, your voidrays are gonna be useless as well... | ||
