EPTIn the middle of game 2 and 3 he didn't manage to trade with naniwa - he only bloodied himself trying to trade. In all 3 games he gave naniwa huge advantages, probably being a bit nervous facing this build.

Edit: fungal is still good vs void rays, but it's not affordable to deal with them in the midgame. You underestimate it. You don't need 10 infestors. You only use them for fungal, ITs are useless. Voidrays stack a loooot - sure he could split them, but lets be honest, nobody really does. Even having just 2 infestors, pinning them and dealing 50-60 dmg (since people generally overlap the fungals) to ALL of them is hugely significant. A pure hydra army won't do the job | ||

They aren't just strong because of more damage since WoL, but because of the fact that voidrays are currently the only air units that don't require any micro skills whatsoever, making them insanely easy to use. Naniwa had DECENT force fields, but nothing that impressive honestly, especially considering that he only had to micro the sentries. Naniwa didn't play that much better, and if voidrays were "fixed" it would certainly be a lot closer. TL:DR Void rays are strong, mostly because they don't require any micro. Obvious solution is to bring back flux vanes. :p It's hard for voids to require micro because they're slow air units, same as tempests or broods or corruptors or vikings or BCs. | ||

Trying to cement units into arbitrary roles is what is horrible. Corruptors do well against massive units, it's fine for them to lose to Void Rays when the Zerg has other options for dealing with them. | ||

But a bit of story / drama to spice things up is most welcome. | ||

You need an overwhelming number to beat out VRs and against 3 SGs you aren't likely to get that. Well you can mass Corruptors early and sweep over the Voids, it is a bit risky because you basically have nothing on the ground at that moment. But the Toss is pretty much denied on his tech + easy robo splash. And you can perfectly follow it up with a Hydra push before Storm. Or you get Swarmhosts, which is almost unfair in this situation. | ||
