Ghosts are actually better against Infestors now then they were before, the problem is they're shit against Broodlords now.
I think if he invested in a few ghosts for snipe for that first engagement, with the huge Viking count, he would've won.
Leenock is just insanely good from playing from behind.

I just forces a whole new dynamic. yeah they're expensive, and yeah (all the arguments for not getting them).. but cloaked ghosts with EMP totally changes the texture of the match-up. I just want to see soemeone believe in the ghost and make some. even without cloak...maybe cloak is taking it too far.

I wonder what Taeja's mental state is after that. He was so far ahead, but Leenock's great control managed to pull through, which must have hit pretty hard.

Game 1
Cloud Kingdom

Taeja at 7
Leenock Leenock at 2

2:00 Taeja with a makarax at his third, and another rax at his main which he floats down, Leenock with a hatch first and pool immediately after
2:30 Leenock spots the makarax, Taeja cancels it and builds a cc
4:00 Leenock with a gas and queens
4:20 Taeja with another cc (his third)
5:30 Leenock with speed, hasn't scouted the third cc. Taeja with a factory
6:00 Leenock with a third. Taeja with a reactor on his rax to swap on his factory
7:00 Evo and Baneling nest and Lair for Leenock, as well as nother gas. Taeja with a Starport and techlab on his rax
8:30 Hellions raoming around, lots of lings from Leenock as well as an infestation pit. Spores too.
9:00 Bio upgrades from Taeja, combat shields and stim and +1 attack. Banshees out

10:30 Lots of stuff on both production tabs. Macro hatch, baneling speed, pathogen glands done. Taeja getting siege mode and more upgrades, +2/+2
12:00 Leenock attacks Taeja's third, but only gets a cancel on the building 4th cc.
12:30 Taeja flying around with a drop
13:00 68 scvs vs 68 drones
13:30 Supplies fairly even.
14:00 Taeja almost kills Leenock's 3oclock base, and kills it 30 seconds later
15:00 Taeja attacking the 4th, but beautiful fungals crush the army
16:00 Hive is done, greater spire is morphing, Taeja continuing to attack and drop

16:30 Taeja kills Leenock's 4th, uh oh. Taeja with a 4th of his own, but Leenock harasses it with lings
17:30 Leenock morphing broods, Taeja denies Leenock's 3oclock once again
18:00 Taeja with a HUGE army of marine tank medivac viking, Leenock with 6 BLs, 13ish infestors and a lot of lings
19:00 Taeja getting tons of starports, still moving arounf Leenock's side of the map. Leenock has a fourth but it's always under pressure
20:00 Taeja attacking the fourth, Leenock coming in with his BLs. Taeja stims under the BLs but fungals the marines.
21:00 Taeja's army dies but Leenock doesn't have a bank
21:30 Leenock attacking into Taeja's nat but sooooo many vikings. A Drop kills Leenock's 4th. 25 vikings crushing BLs at the center of the map, but infestors scare them away

22:00 So many upgrades for Taeja. Air armor, Seeker missile, etc
22:30 Once again Taeja on Leenock's fourth. So many vikings bring down most of the BLs, but Leenock holds. Still doesn't have a fourth though. His infestors keeping him alive, but he's down to 5.
24:00 Leenock pushing again, but no energy and no support units allow Taeja to stim and do damage to BLs.
25:30 Leenock sieging Taeja's nat, but BL infestor queen too strong, even though he has 5 bases O_o
26:00 Leenock now sieging Taeja's main, but Taeja pushes him back
27:00 Taeja mining so much more but Leenock now has a fourth, and his BL infestor army looks hard to beat at the moment
28:00 Leenock battering Taeja's fourth but Taeja pushes him back a little, but not for long
29:00 Bye bye to Taeja's fourth. He can't figure out how to kill Leenock's army, so he attack's Leenock's fourth instead.
30:00 20 infestors 5 broods and a ton of queens

30:30 Fourth is gone again for Leenock, fifth under attack
31:00 Taeja has had enough and ggs.

Weird game to be honest

Anyone better at this wanna do the next game?

So this is what happens when you actually properly control a brofester-queen-sistah army

Agreed...the proper control of super late Z army makes it look almost like imba. Go Taeja!!!

Luckily EMP is still useful in TvP when Protoss doesn't waltz his HT in front of your nose. You can't compared ghost usage in TvZ to ghost usage in TvP. Ghosts may or may not have saved Taeja there, they are a gamble.

there were two hugeee engagements that leenock controlled perfectly

yeah that was definitely not an a-move patchzerg style bl/infestor, that was amazingly controlled.
