Ultralisks aren't very good compared to brood-lords. An ultralisk based army will get destroyed by a good maxed Terran army. Infestor/Brood/Queen is really the only composition that zerg can engage a maxed terran army with. Any map that doesn't allow that due to being so huge won't be a good Zerg map.

Alright, only 2 more wins for Taeja

OMG, so a flat map is a Terran map instead of zerg map? No idea why all the protoss and terran block their main/expansion and engage in choke points, seems they are so fucking stupid.

Broods dont favour Ultralisks on WW because the Terran will drop all over the Zerg and they have zero mobility with Broods.

I don't think too many will go mech on WW due to the size. Even Mvp plays bio I think.

He immediately built 2 additional bunkers, turrets and sieged up his tanks.

He made a turret at his front when he scanned so he knew he was going for both upgrades to burrow move.

Thanks for the heads up! Do you know the results so far? It seems as though it's 2-1 to T8 with Fantasy just pulling a game back for skt1.

I have never seen Taeja gone mech on Whirlwind. I dunno, he obviously had a plan with the build. But Taeja did an awesome gamewinning scan pretty much. Exactly why I want Leenock interview. No one is 100% sure what that build was about except Leenock himself.

For god sake, gold league noobs stop ranting please. What leenock intended to do is burrow speed timing,if taeja didn't scan at the perfect time. burrowed in roaches can turn terran's base upside down

Large maps don't favor zerg. The only reason this became such a common idea is because of how hard of a time zerg used to have holding timings/all-ins which big maps are obviously big for. Now that pretty much every TvZ is a macro game big maps are bad for zerg.
