A serious question, wouldn't carriers have been better in this sort of game? Wouldn't the absurd amount of interceptors just mow everything down?

What happened?

2 armor on corruptors (-40% DPS), and interceptors can be picked off by the zerg. Making them costs more minerals, and losing a carrier means waiting twice as long as losing a tempest.

i haven't watched the second game but it looks like from the comments it was similar to the first except with Firecake winning but basically mass swarm hosts and static defense, Mana ended up with an army of 3 - 4 void rays, 5 - 6 high templars, a mothership, and the rest tempests and basically resulted in imo a fairly boring game.

I cant really understand the whine about the swarmhosts when you dont whine about the tossdeathball at the same time.

The swarmhosts are the only unit that gives zerg a fighting chance against a toss lategame army everything else just evaporates.

If you want to change swarmhosts you also have to chance a shitload of other stuff in the pvsz matchup.
