lol no it is not. It's objectively true. TvZ mech at the highest level is alive and well.

Please ask one single GM zerg or terran...

The "highest level" is tournament play, not random ladder games.

Tournament play consists of people abusing the medivac that is obviously too strong in its current state. They would be silly not to.

Mech is plenty viable and there's a ton of things people need to figure out with all the changes to it. Just general army compositions differ so wildly atm, and what happens when people get more comfortable adding the new ravens for example? How many mines are actually the optimal amount in the lategame?

Stop thinking you have it all figured out, these posts make my head hurt.

A strategy can only be called viable once it has been tested extensively at the highest level of play.


No strategy is yet viable then.

?? Could you elaborate?

Presumably he's implying HoTS hasn't been out long enough for any strat to be considered "extensively tested" at the highest levels of play.

The better question is where this sense of entitlement to a unit composition is coming from? If mech units work better with bio support, or only in certain phases of the game, then that's the way it is. You don't see Protoss players whining they want to play with 'pure gateway' or 'pure robo' or 'pure air' in every imaginable situation and matchup and that the game is somehow flawed if every unit composition isn't identically strong in every single situation. Mech with Ghosts works just fine vs Toss, and yet I see Terrans whining that using Ghosts means it's not 'pure mech' anymore which is a ridiculous statement to say the least.


Because terran pays the most to commit to either units, due to upgrades and addons.

you mean that it's at the very least way worse than bio once you start building a 3rd ? Mech vP is just a joke in a macro game compared to bio.

Whether your opinion is true or false in reality is largely irrelevant. This sense of entitlement to unit compositions is ludicrous. The Terran players who are emotionally invested to whining in these threads are essentially refusing to use their race's units that absolutely do work because they like other units (whether it's visually or whatever) more. This is a competitive RTS game. Use whatever works and move on.


mech just doesn't work vP except for 2b all in, since at least the bfh + emp nerf. If the bfh nerf has in some ways been reverted (hellbats) P got so many new tools to deal with it. It's just pointless if you're competitive to play mech vP if you don't intend to 2b all in. The guys that you accuse of being entitled indeed are, but just because they want mech vP to be viable, not because adding ghosts sucks or whatever.
Zest fanboy.

I assumed as much but i asked for clarification because that was not the brightest thing to say. There have been hundreds of games from big and small tournament that we can conclude some things, like...bio is good in every MU. Enough of the OT stuff from me, don't want to angers the Gods...Mods


Great tournament :D

HoTs is so new that no strategy can have been tested extensively at the highest level of play. So by your definition there are no viable strategies at this point in time.

That's ~20 too many Drones, you need some fricking army at this point.

Yeah, turns out 5 Ultras, 3 Broodlords and an Infestor aren't a good army to pick a fight with.

Babyknight played that game pretty solidly, but I feel Snute was just to greedy teching(aswell as the blinging the 3rd) in to many directions so he didn't have the army to crush the 4th.

Nice, now the map warns about cross spawns but kicks players by default.

Am I the only one who is not very fond of the alternate appearances for the units like overlords and marines being enabled? In particular the overlord is a bit ugly, and I just get this feeling it looks less professional when the appearance of units is not standardized, heh. Perhaps it is just me ^^
