Maybe it's just me on a bad day but it's only the second PvZ I'm watching involving mass swarm hosts and I already find this utterly boring to spectate, feels I'm watching the same action again and again and again and again.

I hate to even suggest it, but brood lords/infestor may be the answer here again.

Even more free units!

Locust out > Protoss pull back
Locust die > Protoss attack
Locust out again > Protoss pull back again

Neverending loop.

Is there a reason why BabyK never went VRs?

Broods ain't that good yo, especially when a Tempest transition is so easy...

Some broods would not be a bad thing. Sacrificing that many corruptors just to reach Colossus is worse for sure.
Anyway he deserved to lose this game and that he did.

stephano playing so incredibly crap, but you the best way to beat a swarm host player is to whittle them to death

Terrible game.
Start using ultra's and infestors really. Infestors are crucial in combination with swarm hosts, just stopping the army for 4 seconds is so crucial..

Because corruptors will crush them. mass tempest isn't that good imo, mass void is pretty good obviously.

Too bad Stephano.

Don't try Roro style.

Just play your roach/hydra/viper style please.

why does stephano never move his swarm hosts - they dont defend any important base sitting in the middle. Pretty bad excution of this strat, which is surprising from Stephano tbh

This is incredibly frustrating to watch, Stepho is basically doing half the build. No queens healing the hosts, not enough infestors, far too careless with his corruptors.

Watching Roro and Scarlett do this build was like night and day to this.
