He would also have to save a ton of gas to have enough Mutas out and he would probably be dead by then. I think muta roach is doable. Instead of making a dozen worthless swarm hosts that don't do much, mutas would give him some map control and harass possibility. And yeah, Luci toned down the drop aggression as the game went on, so I think the surprise factor would be there. | ||

What's funny is since the game came out, we've seen more people lose with them than be successful with them in broadcast games, but some people keep saying how good they are. The thing with swarm hosts is that they are a siege unit, they need support. Once you have that support they are just amazing.. | ||

The reason the tank count got so big eventually in the first place is because Hyun kept losing units while Lucifron did not. He could have had a 100 swarmhosts, would have made no difference. 200 locusts die the same as 10 locusts to tank fire. They all die before they get in range to do damage. | ||

They have their use but those are limited. They're great when you siege an opponent and he constantly loses stuff while defending locus. They're useless when the locust die before actually doing anything . | ||

Life is on a completely different level, not sure Hyun comes close when it comes to aggressive and extreme multi-tasking and control with ling/bling/muta. He's the only Z player brave enough to effectively run past mines and almost always take minimal damage. | ||

The sheer amount of units he always seems to have is unbelievable. Hyun is capable of doing great. Once he adapts and Zerg gets buffed a bit he should be Code S level again. I think HotS is more of HyuN's game than WoL because of the buffed Zerg units in the mid-game where HyuN really excels at. | ||

I don't think it's a matter of getting buffed... Zerg just kinda forgot how to play properly because of that long, grueling period of ZvT in WoL. ^^ (grueling for Terrans haha) | ||
