The setup with taking the 3xGas expo and walling off the "normal" 3rd with gates was also very smart. | ||

Is there a reason zergs stopped using this? I feel like going muta would be predictable...i.e. its a good map for muta but also for blink stalkers | ||

But even then, if your army is even 1/3 hydra it's probably too much. Vs Terran I agree, it's pretty lol. | ||

IF and only IF the reinforcement distance is short (nydus, creep spread, close positions), then a zerg can hit a timing after 3-4 immortals and before the colossi, where he can kill an expanding protoss. But it is 110% all-in. If the colossus range is upgraded or the colossus count is at 2 or more, then it is gg. So the unit sucks on every map but in really few cases it can work as an all-in unit. | ||

Yes he would, what kind of logic is that? That's like saying that you are forbidden to transition because you've invested a few hundred resources into a certain tech tree, even though that tech is now useless. | ||

Immortals are damn slow, they would never get to where I wanted them in time for the timing. Thats why the immortal sentry was used defensively and not offensively. Im sure Terran would not do something like a 1-1-1 on atlantis spaceship either, if the protoss forces siege tank leapfrogging it would take AGES to get across the map. Big map, far away third taken maybe something fast that exploits the map size and mobility of a protoss who opens robo, like mutalisks. Or defensive macro play and slow push with broodlords. But to send 40 roaches across the map and rally 20 hydras that show up when the roaches are dead, thats just a bad decision. Hydras aren't amazing or great but they are good for certain things and bad for others. Not every unit is a marine. | ||
