This is how players react to swarm hosts: try and see if you can fight the swarm hosts --> discover you can't --> lose because you already suicided your army on swarm hosts.

If you see swarm hosts you have to ask yourself: can I fight this cost-effectively? And if not, then don't engage.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

I kinda feel that Swarm Host is a hard unit to use properly so I guess a lot of players would not be able to do really well with Swarm Host.

Well played Ret!
Nice to see SH in action in a pro match. I feel they have a lot of potential but are quite hard to use correctly (both in positioning them correctly, providing the correct cover and to transition into them).
Well done Ret!!

they look so strong but i will say that if zergs just tech to them and mass produce then a patch will have to come in to make the game more balance

Uhm ... If that's HotS I'll refrain from watching in the next few months until people learn to play it. Because if all you need to win a ZvP nowadays is to make drones and burrow swarm hosts, it's just sad. Well as predicted Feast didn't practice HotS while Ret did.

Well so far I've lost 100% of my PvZ's when my opponent went for swarmhosts, granted not a large sample size maybe 10 games at most... but still even poorly controlled swarms are a bitch to deal with.


I'm not saying they are OP because I really don't think they are at all. They are just the most frustrating unit to deal with, I love HotS has a unit like this in it. Makes me want to pull my god damn hair out playing against Swarm host/Overseer/Corruptor but at the same time I think the Pro's will use them and counter them in very fun and entertaining ways.

Good thing Gretorp gave Ret good practice for ZvP. Did just as well as Feast did too.

Yep, it's hard to deal with, if they use hydras or corruptors to cover them properly. They are very immobile though and don't push fast, so backstabbing is very strong vs Z who use a lot of swarm hosts. I'm really excited how the pros are goind to handle them. Interesting weeks/months ahead of us

But isn't everyone already? I at least do nothing else since he showed it against Rotterdam^^.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Swarm hosts are strong but I don't think Feast handled them as well as he could have this series.
