Ultras are fine, but sending them down a chokepoint into a horde of marauders is just stupid.


Having them without some method of lockdown is also stupid; that's where ultras shine. But soO can't find the time to get infestors with all this pressure.

Ling/bane/infestor/ultra was extremely strong in WoL but it's not a viable comp in HotS. Making infestors and ultras at the same time takes too much gas.

How is it not viable? It's the most supply-efficient composition...

There are almost no viable builds that get infestors in the midgame, and simultaneously making them with T3 units is really risky.

I think Ultras vs this is actually really bad...taeja has a decent amount of marauders and a couple thors

i usually dont try to actl ike i know better than pros (i dont) but the way a lot of zergs use ultras blows my mind... in my view ultras are a single timing thing, no matter which race you're up against you will get 95% of your value out of the first wave of ultras and continuing to commit to them is almost always problematic unless you have a healthy mix between queens, infestors and a lead in the game (which incidentally soo does here)

one definite weakness of soo is that he tends to a-move his entire army to defend drops and stuff.

yeah, think of building mass ravens from a terran perspective and you can get a pretty good idea of why zergs don't go for infestors faster

it's not as hard for zerg to get to infestors as it is for terran to get to ravens, and mass raven is stronger eventually, but it's a similar concept

Because you can't layer the buildup of the army, which ruins its viability in high-level play.
