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

is there a reason why players barely ever get infestors?
There are almost no viable builds that get infestors in the midgame, and simultaneously making them with T3 units is really risky.

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)

...aaaand there go the ultralisks down again
soO,. for the love of god! ffs
|
we're going to have a series on our hands

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

The economics cant support it basically.

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

Soojwa!! At last Infestors to secure the game!

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