They need to increase IT cost to be honest... it's disgusting how you can make like 200 IT's and just win because of the sheer ridiculous buffer and DPS they give...

Infested terran good unit.

Khaldor was saying on twitter (twitter.com/khaldor) that infested terrans should do a bit less damage and cost more energy so that infestors are more of a support unit than a main assault unit, which I think is fair. Would also like to experiment with making fungal slow rather than a fix (but a really strong slow, like 80% so it's not too weak). It seems a bit harsh losing all your phoenixes or mutas because for one moment you flew them too close to infestors.

lol... Leenock finally caught up to foreigner zergs. When you lose base, just beeline to hive and make BL/infestors...

IT spam plus BL's was always incredibly strong. The DPS is nuts. Glad a high profile player is finally using it on the reg.

Game 2: Cloud Kingdom
Squirtle spawns as the orange imba-race in the bottom left position.
Leenock spawns as the blue even-more-imba-race in the top right position.

2:00min
Squirtle goes for scout after Pylon
Leenock goes for Pool on 15 supply

4:00min
Squirtle goes for Nexus first again and denies the natural Hatchery for a few seconds with a ralley-point pentagram
Squirtle builds his Forge and Gateway at the natural choke while Leenock goes for his third Hatchery

6:00min
Leenock tries to get into Squirtle's base with 4 Lings but Squirtle blocks with a Pylon in time.
A hidden Probe at the top of the map gets scouted by the Overlord and is able to see Leenocks third before being taken out by Lings.

8:00min
Squirtle goes for +1 attack and a Robo and takes a fast 3rd and 4th Gas
Leenock gets 3 Extractors up and starts his Lair and a Roach Warren

10:00min
Squirtle goes for a total of 6 Gateways and +1armor and adds a third Nexus which gets scouted by an Overlord
Leenock builds some defensive Lings and +1 ranged attack, Roach Speed, Ling Speed, an Infestation Pit and adds a 2nd Evo-Chamber

12:00min
Leenock tries to apply pressure with a handful of Roaches and almost gets an Immortal but Force Fields save it and at the end Leenock loses most of the Roaches for the cost of one Sentry

Leenock tries to take his 4th base but gets denied by Squirtle pushing out with 3 Immortals, a lot of Gateway units and a Warp prism
A counter-attack with a few Roaches kills some Probes and Zealots at Squirtle's third

14:00min
Squirtle adds Colossai to his unit composition and tries to start Warp Prism harass but the Warp Prism gets denied by spawning Infestors
Leenock takes his 4th and 5th base and also adds his Hive and a Spire

16:00min
Squirtle researches +3 attack while Leenock is still on +1melee and +1 ranged attack
A small Ling attack at Squirtle's third gets killed by Squirtle's army

Squirtle takes his 4th base while Leenock starts to set up a Spine Crawler wall and gets his Greater Spire and Corruptors up

18:00min
Squirtle goes for the huge attack before Leenock can get Broodlords out.
Leenock tries to defend with his Spine Crawlers and a lot of Infestors and Corruptors but Squirtle easily pushes through and kills the 4th and 3rd of Leenock.
Leenock backs off to his natural and builds Broodlords there.

20:00
a small squad of Zealots and Stalkers tries to take out Leenocks 5th base but gets denied by a mass of Infestors that Leenock kept alive from the battle before. Squirtle takes his whole army and kills the 5th.
Leenock stays defensive and re-takes his third base while getting more Broodlords and Neural Parasite

22:00min
Squirtle builds his Mothership and takes his 5th at the left side of the map. He also starts +1 shields and +3 armor while getting an additional Robo and Archons into his mix

Leenock takes his 4th again and also a 5th and a 6th at the top and middle-right of the map
Both players are maxed out, Leenock gets more and more Spine Crawlers

24:00min
We are waiting for the big engagement and it seems Leenock is the first to attack.
Leenock pushes towards Squirtle's 5th base at the middle-left side and uses a bunch of Infested Terrans and Broodlords to do some damage but backs off when Squirtle's army move there. Both players don't want to commit to the huge engagement yet.

Squirtle suicides 3 Immortals to kill Leenock's 5th at the top of the map but fails to do so. In the meantime he walks down the other side of the map and takes out the 6th.
With some additional Archons he takes out Leenocks 5th.

28:00min
Both players are moving around the map but are not yet committing to any real battle.
Leenock seems to wait to get his 3-3 air upgrades up before attacking while Squirtle want to take his 6th at the bottom of the map

Leenock starts to push into Squirtle's 4th but Squirtle moves around to also get on the middle ledge. Both players poke at each other, some Infestors get sniped and some Broods get stormed while the 4th of Squritle dies

30:00min
Squirtle moves around Leenock's army again, taking off another 2 or 3 Infestors.
This looks like it could take ages.
Just as I write this Leenock Neural Parasites the MOTHERSHIP and uses Vortex on the whole of Squirtle's army!!!
The mothership gets taken out and Squirtle loses a lot of units when coming out of the Vortex but tries to back off again but Leenock smelled blood here and pushes on with a lot of Infested Terrans and Broodlords!
Squirtle gets cornered and can't do any damage to the Broodlords. Fungals and Infested Terrans keep him pinned down and Squirtle loses more and more units while Leenock barely loses anything.

Without the Mothership Squirtle can't deal with Leenock's army and has to write the GG!

Leenock takes the series with a score of 2-0!

Chubby Leenock goes Gangnam-Style!

With HotS Zerg has Swarmhosts, so they can cut out infested terrans altogether.

Squirtle ahead on bases for so long and still get so ridiculously raped?

Honnest question, is there any chance for a P to win versus Blord infestor without mistakes?

One neural decides a long macro game? Disappointing. Well done Leenock though.

It's really the same both way. Long macro games in PvZ are mostly decided by a vortex, either by the P or the Z.

I think Squirtle should have killed the main after taking the natural down. This would have been a good chance to take the few broods out and all tech structures. But he waited... Bad idea.
