What, so just mass infestor without any supporting units? Super viable, man. You should tell freaky to stop wasting his time with this roach and/or ling nonsense.

Mech is the future of TvZ. That game compared to so many failing with marine-tank...
I'm sorry to break it to you but Mech just loses to a roach max with drops at 13-14 mins if your opponent scouts you before choosing their tech path.

4/8 today, 0/4 for the last 4 games....

Bomber was so far ahead after the opening. Up in bases, workers, tech... He could have built anything (except for mass raven  ) to win.

No zergs moved on today oO

I think you can't actually explain it at all. Why cant I? Why were everybody telling bomber to make ghosts? But he didnt, as he know, that they aren't as good as they used to be. In old times, Terran could mass Ghosts and win, just like Zerg did now with infestors. I wish ghosts werent that useless as they are now in TvZ Dude, what did they change that Ghosts became useless against Infestor only? i3owkri3uj2453456425325832589325 That's the point though. Infestors are good against everything. Ghosts are only good against Infestors. You don't want mass ghosts, but you need mass ghosts to take on that many infestors. You don't want to execute a strategy that only mildly counters what your opponent is doing without any way of getting back at him if it succeeds and take an offensive stance. And what zerg army is good without infestors? Which means you can have ghosts in any terran army. If you waste too much supply in Ghost the Terran army becomes terrible in direct combat . The zerg army is terrible in direct combat when you disable infestors. No matter what you say, they will never agree that Ghosts have a use any more. They are hopelessly convinced they are useless. I saw Ryung make ghosts against Hero in NASL Playoffs while being a good bit behind v. colossi/high templar/chargelot and he still had great engagements when down on supply. Possibly the only terran I've seen lately actually use ghosts properly the way they did 6 months ago in the HT v Ghost war, instead of just making 0-2 ghosts with 0 emps and getting rolled over by storms. But nope, ghosts are completely worthless. Better make more ravens that do nothing because he doesn't have infinite money to make ghosts as well apparently. I think they were talking abou specifically for TvZ, not in general
I'm speaking about the general refusal to make any unit remotely nerfed that is pretty much shared by every race. It's like the second an OP unit is brought in line, it suddenly is deemed worthless to build, then suddenly the race gets completely destroyed because it refuses..to make...the unit.

Fair point Mackus.
God, today was just fucking... all about that last game.
I need some whiskey for my coffee.
