Not including how hard it is to emp a queen 17 yards away anyway | ||

They're fatter than infestors and much harder to do since they can transfuse far behind broodlord line. In best scenario, 17 yards away from your ghosts. GL trying to get over there DPS is easier than healing. I'd like to repeat, individually healing your units is really hard!! | ||

Infested terrans have SICK DPS, so they take building down in no time. I think it all comes down to zergs not being used to harassing their enemies. You don't think that might have something to do with the fact that 4 infestors cost 600 gas and 8 marines cost 0? There is a huge difference between losing a marine drop and losing an infestor drop. | ||

Problem is you can lift whatever building and run away (plus repair if you need to) from infested terrans before they can kill anything unless you use a ridiculous amount. Not to mention planetaries or tanks easily stop this. Better off fungaling SCVs, but by that point he doesn't really have many SCVs just mass mules >,< Also Terran usually has vikings at this point and can easily snipe dropping overlords, infestors cost a lot of gas and are too risky to lose, while marines are nearly free.. | ||

It would be the exact same as this map, three planetaries in the middle like he had mean ultras are going to get rolled... | ||

I understand the theory behind forcing vikings and then going ultras but honestly i just think terran has so many ways of dealing with them. That late in the game i think if the zerg is building ultras the terran is probably pretty happy. | ||

obviously good play from mvp but how people can not see how ridiculous the game gets once it enters these stages is beyound me. terran bases are 100% untouchable while nuking and cleaning up with free 3/3 marines will cripple the zerg no matter what. the fact that no unit compositon can beat ghost tank viking is not even the main problem lol. | ||

And yes while in theory Ultra's would tank snipes and banes would blow into ghosts, what's to prevent MVP from spreading his ghosts, out such that it takes 3-4 banes to kill a ghost, all the while ghosts taking 0 splash from ultras from being spread, and also getting healed by medivacs. A terran can just have his ghosts spread and just focus fire the banes first, and then snipe the ultras, ghosts can afford to tank some hits from ultras thanks to heal. And again, ling, bling, ultra is still going to do terrible attacking into a position fortified by tanks, thors and multiple planetaries with building armor upgrade, on top of the ghosts. Lastly, the reason many zergs probably don't know how to handle this style is because this kind of super late game only pops up once in a blue moon. | ||

I hope you're trolling, you can't be that + Show Spoiler + nvm, I'm avoiding the ban trap  | ||

From a master perspective, I know for sure I can react to the speed brood is dropping. That is also with a ton of viking volley that shoud've been taken care and soak by corruptors. If it was ghost alone, I don't see why pros can't counter act it. I also play zerg, I know transfuse is really hard. Doesn't mean its not doable, thats why there are pros and then there's us. | ||
