the problem with make TvZ is that you give up lots of mobility for just the ability to kill drones quicker. You're not stronger in fights, you still cannont push midgame, hell you cannot drop. The only other advantage is that it's easier to turtle into sky terran. So it could be good on Metropolis ie.
Marines are simply too good.

Siege Tanks are simply too bad. :&


They're ok, if they were that bad everyone'd be playing pure bio. You simply cannot mass them since they're way too many ways to deal with it. They complement marines quite well and are good vs ultra/ling/infest.

The only thing Zerg has that handles tanks outright is brood lords, which are the hardest of hard counters, even moreso than immortals. Were it not for the broodling-based attack, high tank counts at all stages in the game would be not only possible but probably common. SC2 tanks may suck compared to their BW counterparts (I'd love to see a big damage buff btw) but in high numbers they're still impressive.


drop + roach destroy lower tank counts in the midgame. Like really hard that's the reason the opening is thor/hellion/banshee.

If you're going mech, sure. But against marine/tank? Not really.

Falsest thing I've ever read in this thread. That's the entire reason you go mech in the first place.


You cannot fight Z t2 with mech since he just rush hive because roaches are too good. So you've a weaker army than the Z in a straight up fight before ultra lategame.
Just watch symbol crushing every mech player either by dropping 200/200 roaches or rushing hive to see that you're wrong.


Like mech players can't do hellion drops (which Mvp did at his peak) or defend adequately against roach harassment (which Mvp did at his peak too). The fact is nobody has worked that hard at making mech viable since the BFH nerf, so mech is largely stuck at summer/fall 2011 standards.

that's the all point of those 14min pushes with 6-10 tanks and 2/2. But i'd not call it a mass, but if you consider it that way i totally agree with you.

You don't know what you're talking about. Go watch some Symbol/any TSL zerg play vs mech to see why drops are good.
Zest fanboy.

I feel Mr. Bitter's game knowledge has really stagnated since 12 weeks with the pros finished over a year ago. He's more of a caster for humour than for zerg analysis now.

Exactly my thought.

Stephano with a huge lead now. If he holds on he'll face only Protoss on this side of the bracket, NASL rematch with Hero will be interesting
