I remember watching some terran stream on KR and he faced zerg on that same map and zerg basically had tons of spore crawlers, vipers corruptors, queens and SH + nydus. He was constantly yanking expensive units into spores, constantly harassing less defended bases with SH+nydus and eventually starved terran to death. I dont think that DK should buff terran air though, that would be a huge mistake on their part (a proposition in the general mech buff test map) | ||

Hydra had no clue how to play high eco super-lategame ZvT (swarmhosts/vipers/corruptors/mass spores). This looked like reminescent WOL play... I think it is forgivable given how rare it is to get to that stage. | ||

In that situation, like in Snute vs that random toss yesterday, it's just yolo and hope for the best. The longer you wait, the more hopeless it becomes. That always confuses me when protoss ends up with a zerg safe on 5 bases with a maxed SH army. They always try to play it out, and end up taking the final fight with 160 ish supply and 200 gas in the bank rather than maxed with 6k gas. Once zerg has that army, just go, the longer you wait the worse it gets. | ||

And get your BCs yanked into said spores by vipers. | ||

And in this late game scenrario, depending on the map, I don't think Zerg has any chance to kill the army, because they the Zerg army just melts without killing anything. Even 20 remaxes would not help, tbh. You can make maps where its harder to defend 3-4 bases as terran, farther away from each other bases, open bases, and bases made in such a way that you can attack one spot, retreat and then attack another one easily. Maps play a large role into how viable mech is. Initially I thought SS is a terrible mech map, but Reality tailored his strat perfectly to it. You can't attack the bottom terran bases and swoop around north to attack the other bases as quickly because of the architecture, Reality also fortified his north with 5 PFs, guaranteeing he would always have enough buffer to react. | ||

There is no limit to how much spores you can do, especially with 10k minerals in the bank. Also, vipers can consume less exposed spores and constantly yank BCs into the spore wall. Sky terran is very hard to beat but it is not impossible, mech was not really played that much until the latest patch anyway so most zergs are clueless against it. | ||

Swarm hosts are stupid, everyone knows this, but their are like force fields in this regard. No one likes them, but they are necessary. They are the one unit zerg has that allows actual combat vs the late game high tech protoss army. Otherwise the only other option is muta base trade. I guess we could buff muta ling basetrade play, but I suspect protoss players would have some objections to that. Maybe have a cap on PDD within an area, buff thor anti air and make tanks less sucky could work | ||

You won't even OS the spore, so losing a BC for damaging a spore, not sure bro. | ||
