I think if you don't already have spores in place when the drops start, that's pretty much game. There's nothing Zerg can get at that point with enough DPS to kill the hellbats, enough health to survive them, enough speed to follow them when they're picked up, and which can shoot up. All you can do is pull drones and let spores eliminate/drive away the medivacs. Unless you can do that, you're just going to be spending all your money fending off the same couple of hundred minerals of units over and over and over while your opponent masses up for the kill.

What the hell happened to roro? He had no problems snuffing Yoda's Hellbat play.

Hellbats are a joke

I feel the same amount of minerals into a bio ball would have won that game just as well.

Medivacs were the key unit in that battle, not hellbats.

I hate Hellbats.. It is just ridiculous that biological property. "Hey look at me none of your units can do a thing, unless you have 1000 more numbers. Choo chooooo".

The same thing would have happened with bio. He was trying to use single roaches to out DPS a medivac and that doesn't work.,

Hellbats need to cost gas or can't be healed by medivacs

This is false. Hellbats actually have significantly less HP than tanks, significantly less range, and significantly less damage.

Well, people will say anything to make their balance whine seem more legit.

Bogus pretty good, still think SoulKey beats him in finals.

That was very dramatic... poor RoRo probably just fliped the table after that game. Bogus immune to zergs, burns them and eat half cooked.

Missing the roaches as his hellions passed them, losing 43 scv's, forgetting you have a 3rd CC and then winning with hellbat harrass? Sure Innovation's great but he didn't play that well and the hellbat/medivac micro wasn't even that impressive, they're just freaking strong.

Agreed. But Roro deserved to lose nonetheless. His hellbat drop defense was piss-poor and he kept droning
