HOTS infestors aren't worth building in ZvP. 95% of the time teching fast vipers is the much better option. And they're planning on nerfing infestors more in coming patches too lol...

I don't understand why he cancelled that Spire tbh, he could have defended from the phoenixes with corruptors, which are also good against colossi. His creepspread was also too horrible for any ground play.

Well you can't hold that with 5 infestors and nothing else even in WOL,infestors needed that nerf.

even with wol infestor he would have been dead. cant expect to hold a 2 base coloss all in with 6 infestors and maybe 20 lings.

Casters are really into hyping "new" units, I've found. Even the Hydralisk, which hasn't really changed aside from the speed upgrade, seems to be called "really good" regularly now. Which is weird, because... No.

Hydras are much better, but not because of hydra speed. They're much better because of vipers.

But given the distinct absence of Vipers in this game...

On another note, I love MLG's picture-in-picture. It's really quite cool.

Hydra still the worst zerg unit. But it will be built for a bit at the start because people the Infestor got changed and casters take more time to get used to.

Don't know why people think speed was the hydras biggest weakness.

In ZvZ maybe. As for PvZ, this was a fairly special situation. herO had no anti-air besides his Stalkers which are only single-target. With a few storms on top of a time warp things could have ended up differently.
