Are you aware that those very ghosts also posses the EMP that prevents the very fungal from ever happening?

I mean, this whine that "X does Y and that is insane" is in itself insane, because there are just many things in the game that do cool things. People nowadays when faced with something new, they do not want to work out ways how to deal with them, but they just want to ask mummy Blizzard to fix it for them ...

I guess time will tell if infestors are a problem or not. Right now it feels like a coinflip-mechanic (does the terran scan or not?) and that's why I dislike it.

Requiring detection isn't a coinflip...

Dark vs ByuN was a great series, hopefully INnoVation can put up an even better fight.

Yah it's not a coinflip but I find kinda unfair to make Terran Bio even harder than before. On Top of all Byun got to do now he have to babysit a Raven (200 gas slow unit) or his army will get REKT. Meanwhile... Z have easier having an invisible caster.... How is that fair? And I don't think mass scan is viable against Infestor... you can't scan all the map / You lose a ton of economy.

The theoretical counter play is that infestors eliminate mutas (as an option) from the tech tree so you can ramp up harassment and aggression with liberators and drops.

Just curious; which Terran player did you think had the best anti-Mutalisk tactics of all time? As in, those who were best at countering large flocks (>20) of mutalisks and actually managing to completely nullify their effectiveness

Flash

For SC2 I think Taeja had a very good anti-mutalisk tactic.

I think they need to buff Ravens speed or make it not require a tech lab. Idk I think the reactor/tech lab requirements is what's screwing up a lot of things for T

Watching Dark vs ByuN, there are many situations where the infestors could have been unborrowed, and the fungals would still have hit ByuN army without problems (and they were protected by the roach/ravager army of Dark).

When the primary mode of detection is an infrequent, short timed circle, it becomes one. Are the hidden units in the circle, or in the case of at least one scan in game 5, just barely out of the radius?

Do you know that the "hidden" units are actually visible even when not detected?

Scan bandit might still be my favorite Wolfism. It's so silly and nonsensical.

Did they really jammed the entire RO16 into a single day, jammed the entire RO8 into another day, only to split the RO4 into two days? That must be a typo, right?

It's because the last days are shared between LoL, SC2, and Overwatch.
