I still don't see why T decides to forget that they can get 1-2 ghosts and wreck a group of infestors that are bunched together the vast majority of the time.



Because terran players have tried to emp infestors....It's insanely hard to do, insanely hard doesn't even begin to hard it is. It's borderline impossible if your opponent is paying attention.

That's why the psionic fungal immunity change was good, you could actually use ghosts to emp infestors.


Gumiho showed that Ghosts are still very good vs Z. You can EMP and Snipe Infestors, and Nuke. I really don't get why more Terrans aren't trying his builds. It looked amazing both times he used similar builds and absolutely demolished the Zerg.

and look at all those tournaments Gumiho is winning!

I think that Polt actually took his third quite late and Violet took his third very early. Violet's early Roach aggression helped with both of those things. The Zerg took no harrass damage to his economy, Violet played pretty greedy to get his economy up and running. He also spread creep very aggressively giving him map vision over the central area.

Once he had enough hatches and workers, he could just build attacking units. After his initial Roach push was denied, Violet always made sure to attack Polt's forces in the large open central space. On creep this was ideal conditions for a well-co-ordinated Zerg attack. None of Polt's drops did any damage at all. So Violet just powered his army up to the point where he could win the 2 decisive main battles. Effectively Violet controlled the game.

Finally, a decent and levelheaded analysis. I agree with pretty much everything. I'd also say this map probably favours Zerg a bit, mainly because of the huge open area that zerglings love.
That is not dead which can eternal lie...

Polt knew BL/infestor was coming. He was rushing to kill Violet before that. He got caught unsieged, traded, but lost all his tanks and then just tried to do that concave he used against DRG like six months ago on Entombed. Did not work.



Polt's instinct on BL timing was off the whole series.

Yeah it was impossible for polt to make ghosts in that game.

Not enough economy, no time, no Ghosts.


Im not talking about like 12 ghosts here, 3-4 could nullify that initial wave of infestors. I don't see how thats impossible at that stage of the game. You know zerg is gonna be making Infestors.

Was it also Dwf who said Polt didn't have the economy for ghosts on Daybreak when he was on 4 bases for quite a while? I honestly can't remember.


well it's kinda hard to EMP the infestors, as somebody pointed out before.


so it hard to emp infestors and shouldn't be tried? way to give zerg and easy way out

It's not like Terrans haven't been trying to copy anything that works against Zerg mid/late-game. It's just insanely hard to do. Beastyqt vs Jonnyrecco in EGMC is what most of my games end up like when trying to incorporate ghosts late-game.

Seriously, nothing to even do with balance, people are fucking tired of seeing ZvZ. It's really not that fun or dynamic of a matchup as some people make it out to be...

I think its more of "gotta kill before blords are out, gotta kill, GOTTA KILL!"


This is exactly right. Polt probably has had a lot of practice vs zerg trying to get vikings out in time to match the broodlord corruptor infestor but found it was a worthless battle because infestor is just so damn cost efficient that vikings are basically worthless.

Corruptors are the issue, they should not exist in the game and brood lords should come from mutalisks. Without corruptors it'd be split vikings vs infestor and mutas, which can be outranged by thors. It becomes way more strategical.

Also, blizzard please make ghosts cost 50/150 or something more gas than minerals because late game terran has too much gas.

CORRUPTORS KILLING ESPORTS!


Taking out corruptors entirely would probably be way too big a hit though. Zerg would have no more air counter to Colossi.

I do like the idea though because corruptors are boring ass units

3-4 ghosts delays his 3base timing by so much that there is no way Violet doesn't have broodlords to meet it by the creep front.


Ok I get it, you can't make Ghosts unless its 4base+, because skipping 1 marauder to build academy will insta lose the game. Its better to instantly lose 50+ infantry to fungals and have pretty much useless, unsieged tanks attacking broodlings.

EMP radius is so small you can't splash that many infestors and once the ghosts are fungled they can't use any spells.
