Bad game designers pigeonholed the ghost to be purely anti-caster. There was no reason for that rash decision to be made so early on in the metagame development. | ||

Do people really believe Mana is best toss because he won dreamhack? I don't even know where to begin that's so wrong. like if you believe that you seriously must have started watching Sc2 yesterday. | ||

Whether you agree with their decision or not, does their so called new role as an 'anti caster' unit have a value? When you consider how much frustration and complaining is directed at the Infestor as a unit, Zerg players constant use and reliance on it and the overall importance of the Infestor in virtually anything Zerg does. Is this so called anti caster unit not sitting up in his chair in class with his hand in the air begging for the teacher to pick him because he wants to have a go at solving the great problem on the blackboard? Put simply, Infestors are an imposing and essential part of the Zerg army, Ghosts are very useful at nullifying caster units, is it not smart to try and use them against the Infestor? | ||

According to every single professional terran i've seen play tvz, no, they don't have a role. It's quite hard to use them cost effectively imo. the emp range is small, sniping the infestors is harder than you think, they can die really easily to broodlings whilst they try to get in range of the infestors and if they get fungaled it's a nightmare. I've rarely seen a terran player who uses ghosts to try and counter infestors actually keep them alive, it's very hard to do. | ||

Not really. @UseThis2 - Artosis/theHandsomeNerd has been our team sponsor way before Symbol's winning streak. He's not hyping Symbol because of some ulterior motive or else he'd have done that long before Symbol starting performing well. Just saying. Woke up today to see Symbol advance. woohoo today's gonna be a good day  Wish I had internet at home so I could watch T_T | ||

Put simply, Infestors are an imposing and essential part of the Zerg army, Ghosts are very useful at nullifying caster units, is it not smart to try and use them against the Infestor? Because infestors are good against everything like you said, it is very cost effective. Ghosts are only good against infestors, make them not cost effective in engagement. This creates an imbalance where Zerg can make however many infestors they want, while Terran have to make "proper" amount of ghosts to counter infestors. Also due to high difficulty of micro of ghost compared to Infestor fungle, ghosts can not simply nullify infestors in large engagement and end up as dead weight. At the end, it's like "if I build X amount of ghosts I have 50% chance of stopping Y amount of infestors, and 100% screwed if Zerg have more / less". The risk / reward of using ghosts just does not work out in T's favor, which is why no one uses them. | ||
