Before them (and Action droning) Bogus was ahead and Bogus still had the better and bigger army and could damage Action | ||

Alone they just aren't that effective. | ||

And this game is a pretty good demonstration of why. Yeah, definitely true. Baneling drops can be very potent against terran as well as protoss but fast reactions (and the right reaction) makes a huge difference and Innovation just let Action eat up his SCVs with too little consequence. I think buffed Nydus Worms (more hp probably) and possibly some further increased overlord speed (Maybe??) would help to make harassment including small drops here and there more effective. I don't see either change happening in a hurry, sadly.  EDIT: On April 08 2013 18:09 silentsaint wrote: but wouldn't the same thing happen if there were 5 Broodlords in the base "guarding" it?

only true solution to this is mutalisks, as life probably figured out. nydus is too expensive to really get the job done in the time needed to defend every area properly. but if you got 20 mutalisks with overlord spread you can prevent all the drops (and vikings cant beat the mutas) then work your way towards ultra/ling/bane with some infestors for fungal swarm hosts are strong units. the problem is the swarm hosts just arent good in doing what zerg NEEDS against terran, and that is defending against drops and dealing with them effectively. Swarmhosts cannot do that, and since terrans will be dropping every game you need mutas every game. swarmhosts are good in a straight up fight but thats not what terran will be doing. swarmhosts do not provide what zerg needs against terran, soon good zergs will be going muta every game against terran until some other option is made to exist. | ||

You pretty much can't split the map in half without opening for the opponent to have a go at your bases. | ||

It's pretty much the development stephano has gone through in the last week, now opening bling->muta every game against T. But it's very easy to lose those mutas on the way to infestor-BL and once/if they're gone, the game is close to being over. *due to inability of infestor/BL to handle drops, I mean | ||

HE could take games from Flash in TvT too just because he had such damn good tank placement. You're out of your mind...(npi) Mind was absolutely amazing at getting up to 3 bases then dying to arbiters/carriers almost every game. He was an absolute mental cripple in the mu. No clue why you're calling him a TvP beast, he was more of a punching bag. | ||

Yes, heavy ling bling muta is still the way to go for zerg mid-game. Life knows this, has always done it and continues to do it. | ||

You can have Zeratul. He'll be a fast, stealthy assassin hero unit that depends on RNG for critical hits. Oh wait... | ||
