The old grudge match is on, go Rotti :D.

WP Frodan, really enjoyed the game!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Ret is right, they're op as hell once you get a stable army around them. I called this the second I first saw them.

Poor Rotti, phoenix harass wasn't too effective, he didn't play perfectly and Ret rolled him with pure macro.

With so much of the HOTS conversation focused around widow mines, hellbats, and protoss air, this is the first time I've heard anything about swarm hosts. Ret certainly made them look good there, though.

Well infestors weren't labeled OP in the beta, it even takes pro players some time to figure out how to effectively use some units.

Edit: I guarantee Oracles being called OP not for their damage or harass ability but for their revelation ability as soon as every protoss uses them late game and has constant vision of the opponent's army!

They were buffed quite a bit after beta.
It's just surprising because swarmhost should be a viable alternative to infestor but didn't seem that way till now.

It's just the concept itself. Protoss detection is TERRIBLE against zerg. That and the fact that locusts are free. Free units trading with super expensive units + you have a super hard time taking out the source. It's protoss hell. Of course swarm hosts alone can be taken out but the unit composition basically does the same as BL/infestor. Except it's burrowed. The strength is exactly the same.

I guess you have to hit revelation before they burrow and kill the army while it lasts.

I agree, revelation will counter this when you hit them as they move and change locations.
