I feel as though if Sleep had massed a number of Corrupters, and a-moved to kill all the Collosi, the Swarm Hosts would just dominate. Too safe maybe?

That's not even true, they killed a hatch if I'm not mistaken, nothing more.

This is exactly the same as the old deathball lol, the third phase of Voidray dps was removed for a reason.

i think sleep had corruptor and hydras in the same control group. he was clumping so much. with better control he probably could have one that easily because the fourth base of protoss was delayed for ages and sleep himself was on 5 or 6 bases.

Easier said than done. First's midgame defense was pretty solid, although as a lot of us were saying that the Zerg really needed a Nydus added in with that midgame push. It helps so much with that kind of push.

Nydus adds nothing to that push aside from wasting gas, not on that map in those positions.

swarmhosts with nydus wouldve been cool to see. That way you can keep pushing with ur locust from all sorts of angles. Not sure if it wouldve mattered on this map though.

I think getting tier 3 at all against that protoss army is just a waste of supply. Need as much air killing stuff as possible

Now imagine if he were maxed on same comp with mass tempest and those templar. Zerg cannot win vs this lol.

I heard mobile static defense and Vipers are good units.


Turtle skytoss with storm is considered more or less unbeatable by zerg in the late game atm. It may be underdeveloped metagame or it may be balance issues, I don't know, but right now there doesn't seem to be a very good answer to that composition.

how do you beat this as zerg?


Not getting your drones murdered by 4 zealots, not running through storms.

why would that help? It's not like zerg was low on economy lol


Actually sleep had no bank after he had to replace some of his army. He should've had a 1000/1000 bank at that point, he was on 5 bases and had a standing army for some time. He was WAY low on economy compared to where he should have been.

He didn't try to siege up First's third base at all is what I meant, he could have split off 2 or 3 Swarm Host's to try to kill it. He pushed too slowly.

This. Midgame the SH is so strong. SH, corruptor, ling/hydra is such a good composition with overseers to spot observers. But if the Protoss manages to hit that late game composition things get very rough.

how do burrowed units and air units that move slightly slower than tectonic plates dodge storms?

Yep, Sleep only had 2 control groups, one for hydra/corruptor and the other for swarm hosts.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Yeah then it got owned? was like 5/6 base Zerg vs 3 base P as he kept camping out by First's 4th and sniping it? Then he took a stupid engagement and didnt "attempt" to micro any of his units out of storms. Then remaxed on pure hydra....
