Is there some trick to spread your locusts against colossi or do you have to do it manually? Interesting game.

Haha, what just happened? Swarm hosts looks pretty weak once P moves past gateway units.


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.


Did you watch the same game I did?

Did you watch Queens try and walk back to the base off creep and force engagements in the middle that First took advantage of?

Nydus Worms change that completely.

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


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


Except he ran his brood lords and hydras with speed upgrade back and forth through storms without attacking. On creep too, lol

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.


Good control could probably help (after seeing sleeps terrible control in the last game).

Seriously getting all your corrupters and hydras stormed at the same time as they're stood on the same spot is just dumb. Fungal would kill vikings/bio like that in WoL and does so even now.

Does vipers cloud thing reduce the range of spell casters or just default attacks?

ie: can you blinding cloud templars then be free from storms/feedback?

He had his corruptors, hydras, and broods stacked, and was indecisively dancing the former as though he was debating just sacrificing the broods and running.

You have to do it manually. You can control Locusts just like any other unit, if you just let them rally they'll walk in a straight line.

You can't just all in with your Hive tech army any more and win. Split the map with static defense and add Vipers and/or Infestors. Stop complaining about something that is beatable. It's unbeatable if you just do the old WoL Hive tech A-move "cuz I got Broodlords" style.

Blinding Cloud does not work on spells which is why it doesn't work on Widow Mines (sentinel missile counts as a spell)

The problem is that it's entertaining because it's different, not because it's a better match-up imo.

I'm not sure if It's possible to get something worse than WoL PvZ where you either all in or you die

Wayyyyyy too early to determine something like that.

Does setting individual spread rally points for each swarm host work?

Actually you don't win whatever the economy and tech once there is enough air Army on protoss side because no matter how you look at it, Zerg Anti Air is not strong enough. Personnaly, I'm okay with it though, as long as I have enough possibility to attack in mid game to win or gain enough of an advantage, and it seems there is more possibility with mutalisk/roach hydra viper/ swarm host.
