But one thing bothers me a bit. I feel like Phoenix are too much of a hard counter to mutas now with 7 range. Once you get about 6 to 7 of them combined with range upgrade, it feels like they can kill almost infinite mutalisks.

Ret used swarm hosts, violet uses vipers and "new" mutas. There aren't any new low tech options except for hatch tech burrow, which would be risky/cheese related. Or overlord speed, which seems unimportant. What do you want to see exactly?

Violet had more than 4 times the number of games played on beta than First did.

It will probably take some time for zerg players to figure out how to handle all this new air protoss. I think infestor fungle will still have to play a key role.

Imagine if Violet could have locked those phoenixes in place and parked his mutas on them, then cleaned up First's entire army with his remaining mutas.
Education should be our seniors guiding us to be "who" we want to be, not "what" we want to be.

Does the graviton beam range also increase with the range upgrade?

Now he needs banelings, which are so awesome vs. zealot HT. too bad no zergs do that.

they did, and those mutas are "new". apparently the really new stuff isn't worth doing in their opinion or they don't think it works for them.


huh? we have seen every new unit zerg has during the last 2 hours....

They are designed as a hard counter to mutalisks. Without them, mass mutalisks are nearly invincible.
