As someone pointed out earlier, he didn't have air upgrades. Don't think a couple BCs would have done much. Lowely just moves back after killing the ground army and makes 4-5 corrupters.

Does anybody know when/where Nerchio vs Happy will be streamed?

Yes, tickling those ultras would've helped Happy a lot.

Haha, so true  Fire off map unit tester, build a fully upgraded ultralisk, build a BC with upgrades of your choice and make em fight. 2 minutes later the ultra will die. Oh, and will chew through half of the terran base in the meantime  Yeah fully upgraded ultras are crazy good. WHen lowely started the final battle in game 2, he engaged so badly into a seiged tank line with infested terrans blocking his ultras and he still managed to win by having 23 ultras kill everything XD

They wouldn't have single handedly eliminated the army, but they would have been a source of consistent DPS that the Ultralisks wouldn't have been able to massacre.
The Ravens and Siege Tanks were handling virtually everything else that Lowley had in that situation but Happy had no answer really for the Ultralisks because his tank and Thor count was so low.
In that specific situation, 1-3 Battlecruisers would have completely changed everything because it would have forced out at least a few Corruptors when Lowley's income was already extremely taxed.
In most situations I wouldn't be recommending using unupgraded Battlecruisers vs Zerg, but in that specific late game situation they would have done a lot of good.
0-0 BCs would not have been very good against 3/3 ITs and Corruptors.
Maybe not very good, but they would have been better than 0/0 Vikings and Auto-Turrets.
Happy had a few options for how to spend the last bit of his resources and he chose Thors and Vikings instead of Battlecruisers, the Battlecruisers would have at least bought him some time and breathing room for him to secure another base potentially. Either way Happy was in a bad spot, I'm just saying they would have at least been something the Ultralisks weren't going to stomp over.

Grubby vs. Lucifron next! Can you say O M G?
