I say this from experience of both playing the map and watching many many pro games on it. a planetary will not hold off a remax of ultra ling for more than a few seconds once they reach your side of the map.

I want another Day[9] release party + tournament!!!

And you land Vikings! They do so well against Zerglings/Ultralisks, a joy to watch this show. Vikings are good lategame. I wonder why noone used them sooner.
It's deadpan humor, right?

I've seen it defended plenty with just ling-bling but you need WAY more than Violet had. yeaaa but that was a lot of hellions, and with MM to back them up. very intimidating for zergling/baneling composition. I guess you have to sandwich so he can't micro to hearts content.
Yeah I think it was Life or Leenock I've seen hold it, they sandwiched and had LOTS more banelings (not 5 like Violet had, but like 20+). He probably could have seen it coming and had time to react if his scouting mid-map was better too.

It's stupid to say that the pros have the game completely figured out, and I haven't really heard anyones ay that. Sure enough the metagame is very stagnant, but the game is still fairly fresh. Sorta.

Completely agree, things are still being figured out in WoL and HotS is on the doorstep. I guess we're just going to have chaos until Legacy of the Void, but hey, good games!

There is nothing made of building that can stop a mass of ultras.
