And the fact that he didn't scout it made it even worse. It doesn't hardcounter mech at all... If MKP has his army in a ball with all the marines in it that does nothing. | ||

I mean if you scout he is going mass banes like in game 2 you just add in Siege ;_; Don't understand why a player of MKPs micro doesn't go MMM most games and just abuse timings from it | ||

Standard sensor tower placement would have missed that angle, btw. And what do vikings do against +10 overlords  The drop flew right over a missile turret before reaching any units, btw. That turret was well placed. | ||

He delayed his 3rd to get his 4 gases + lair He decided on the 1/1 roaches yes. That is a popular strategy lately. (possible because of stephano). But he didn't get drop until he scouted the factories and the armories. | ||

where were the scans to see if there was in fact an infestation pit or a spire. where was the reaction from MKP besides "let's just build tanks". | ||

Pure mech has nothing to kill overlords quickly, has trouble defending multiple locations (--> vulnerable to drops), and cost-for-cost can't defeat roaches at melee range. So... I'd expect to need a decent Viking and/or Marine contingent to my military to manage this sort of thing. Then again, I've been a proponent of stimmed marine support to mech armies since Broodwar, and that certainly never caught on. | ||

Its one of that all ins to just mix in, Zerg has so many strong options in zvt atm its just insane, why do something so risky unless your not confident u can beat the terran in a standard game, and even then there's so many other powerful builds you could do | ||
