PiG on stream said you could go roach ravager OR ling bane muta in the midgame, so I guess you could try ling bane corruptor ?

He should have studied Byun when Byun played on NA and farmed Demuslim for like 15 straight wins one day

To be fair, his corruptor style always involved speed roaches. But I think the need for/strength of ravagers in relation to their cost makes roach/ravager/corruptor unappealing in the midgame.

actually no, you could go ling/bane/corruptor without roaches but it was bad vs 4M and only worked vs thor/hellbat/marauder comps

I'd say: the higher the level of play, the worse Ling/Bane/Muta gets. Just generally speaking.

Ling/Bane in silver-plat is free win.
Source : 90% winrate over like 60 games in ZvT over the last few months of HotS.

I know, PiG is a big fan of ling/bling/muta (and I think corruptors are fine too for that style). I feel like you can pull it off, but it's gotten a lot harder in my opinion. Also openings like 1-2 liberator harass from Terran kind of force you into ravagers early, so it's less of an investment to stay on that techpath in those situations imo. Dunno, I personally also prefer ling/bling based play but it feels like you are 10-20 supply lower in relation to the Terran than previously.

I'm pretty sure Dark always had speed roaches when he went for the corruptor style, slowly replacing them as they died. Might remember that wrong though.

Major has no idea what he is doing. It's disgusting to watch. He's literally just letting Snute build this crazy strong army when he can be and should be attacking yet he gives Snute all the time in the world to make a perfect composition.
Although that's always been the big difference between Europeans/other players and Koreans. The killer instinct. I guarantee any top tier Terran after denying that fourth for so long and having a fourth then even fifth yourself go into crazy aggro-mode.
Despite Liberators being good units Terran will never be the sit back and build the ultimate army race...that died with mech really. Give me that mid game advantage and even I would've had a better shot at taking that game with an endless rally push.
So bad. It's not a matter of killer instinct lol. You can't always take frontal fights. The real problem Major has is that he doesn't know how to deal with Snute's army cost effectively. It's not even a perfect composition yet from Snute... Sad indeed tho
That's the point you are missing though. Instead of attacking with a huge economic lead he sits back and let's Snute get more Broodlords. His initial Broodlord count was like 5 or 6 yet the lead Major had was ridiculous. You sit back they make more of an extremely expensive unit instead of something they need RIGHT NOW because of your attack. He was light years ahead economically. Attacking forces out suboptimal units because you need them now. Not attacking allows the building of the army you are talking about.

I like going for corruptor vs terran. You may have trouble with drops tho, so its a bit map dependent.

there were 2 ways to open:
speed roach/speed bane opening into corruptors (which was 90% of corruptor games)
or standard ling/bane with corruptors (which had weaker midgame than LBM but your hive transition was stronger) (HyuN for example beat Heart at this mad TvZ peak with this)

It won't be enough but MajOr microed that quite well actually
