Nah, nobody does that because an ultra switch = GG


It only takes 2-3 cloaked ghosts to emp all of the infestors...That isn't going to make you lose to an ultra switch

Guess we figured out what that was.


What you mean is maps were dramatically changed, zerg got dozens of buffs, and t/p got dozens of nerfs right? Sorry but zerg was grossly bad at the beginning of WoL. Revisionist history really bothers me.


Lol terran was the only one to get "dozens of nerfs"

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if we brought back Snipe, EMP, and amulet... Those looked OP yes, but it was when people weren't as good as today.

Terrans and Protosses would have SOMETHING against this bullshit composition

how in the world are you going to emp all the infestors when broodlords are around? as long as they have detection of course.

Yeah if the zerg has no idea the ghosts are there.. Zergs make 12-15 infestors, not 5-8. 3 ghosts is not enough to get rid of their energy

they were all-killed by younghwa, but who hasn't been all-killed by younghwa? They beat MVP 5-4 in the IPTL. They lost to EG in the IPTL. They beat EG in the EGMCSL. They are atm 4-0 in EGMCSL. They were in the finals of the most recent GSTL. Maybe compared to your standards, that's not doing particularly well but plenty would disagree with that

How about individual leagues bro.

Ghosts are useless, infestors are way too big :/

They're as big as a stalker, their model just makes them look fatter than their hitbox actually is. I think you can hit about 9 infestors with 1 emp

They aren't winning everything, which means that everyone gets to say "herp derp slayers so dead lulz." I can't believe how many "boxer left, the team is dead" comments i've seen.

Please don't suggest bringing amulet back.. With protoss skill nowadays, the only balanced matchups would be the mirrors

Taeja answered to this in a recent interview.
His main objection to ghosts was how zerg can easily tech switch to ultra and nullify ghosts usefulness significantly. But I like the argument that infestors are too large. If they were smaller and 3-4 ghosts worth of EMPs could eliminate at least half of the fungals, it might still be worth it. Right now you would need almost a ghost for every infestor and it would still be a positional fight against lings and broodlords.

The whole idea of making infestors smaller seems so practical.
It doesn't nerf any of the spells, while making all AOE of both Protoss and Terran more potent against them, forcing Zerg to micro much more to keep them safe.

PartinG and Rain would be even stronger in PvT, while all Terrans will return to having 15-20 Ghosts in late game TvZ.

It doesn't matter, it takes like 3 fungals to guarantee victory in corruptor vs viking battles. Seeker is way more effective and is the perfect gas dump for the late game. Taeja has been neglecting getting extra starports for ravens in every TvZ I've seen in the last couple of weeks. Its just that he's destroying them so hard in the midgame that the zerg gets overwhelmed by viking numbers before the broodlord / corruptor / infestor count becomes "stupid".
But he doesn't seem to have a plan "b" for when zerg just sits on his ass and gets critical mass.

All terrans? Even when snipe was considered "OP" the only person I saw using them effectively was MVP.

If they removed warp gates Amulet'd probably be fair, but if not every finals ever would be Bison vs Dishwasher toss :p
