These ZvP engagements are pretty fucking terrible. He'll never get consistent in the matchup until he learns proper positioning with the BL/infestor/corruptor army (such as, there is no plausible reason for leaving your broodlords in the front of your army when the battle begins). Also he has to saturate that fourth base a lot faster if he wants to get more broodlords at transition time.

You need a lot more infestor energy so that you can always spawn infested terrans under your broodlords so protoss doesn't want to blink.

The perfect situation is fungaling him right at 9 range, and it felt like that's what Life wanted to do, but you can't really guarantee that, because the stalkers could be at range 11, out of range of fungal, and then blink into the broodlords before you fungal. If there's infested terrans already hatching there, an offensive blink is suicide for the stalkers.

Or you can just leave your unit under the broodlords so blink stalkers can't hop underneath them. It seems like he wants to bait the stalkers so he can trap them with fungal + lings but that doesn't work against armies with colossi in them.

Does anyone else notice how odd it is that Life never spreads creep in ZvP? He's usually pretty decent at it in ZvT but in this matchup it's like he doesn't care at all.
