Is the answer to Ravens just ling/bane?

Tier 3 terran (ghosts, libs, ravens) probably loses to LBH in a straight fight

yeah, if by straight fight you mean a-moving each other with no spell casting allowed.
Neither party will be missed.

Is maru's turtle terran viable on this map? I feel like dark just takes the whole map

There's probably no better map for this

You say that but it was 8 base zerg to 4 base terran.

Despite how cost effective ghosts and ravens supposedly are, if the zerg is ahead a few expansions they will still win. That's why usually in Maru's lategame he sends banshees and ghosts to take out hatcheries

His mistake was probably as Tastosis pointed out that he took the harder to defend bases first.
No way Dark can attack like this when Maru sits on the "normal" first 5 bases

It was definitely a factor but I think Dark just wins on round 3 or 4 instead.

Doesn't matter if Zerg loses that fight, their army is worth way less. Just remax and attack again when all the Ravens are out of energy. The key is still economy.

What spellcasting? Raven missiles don't do that much damage to ground units that aren't stacked. You can remake LBH faster that raven energy can come back,

Snipe isn't really enough to do much either. It's good against expensive units like ultras and broods.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Wouldn't be surprised if Maru goes for mech into Ravens on this map. Ling/bane just evaporates if you have enough tanks. SH are always a concern, but outmaneuvering them is doable for Maru I think.

I think Maru would welcome seeing swarmhosts.

I guess so


It is the answer when you can afford remaxing at least twice

Which is perfectly reasonable given that a terran turtling to mass raven isn't much of a threat until they actually get there. Zerg can just out-expand them.


I agree in this particular game. Maru was at a big disadvantage from mid-game and opted for massing siege tanks to turtle on 4 bases, with no harassing units, trying to hang on. This gave Dark the chance to out expand the terran.

Ravens only break the game when terrans and zerg are fighting on equal terms from mid-game.

Ravens can only break the game if you let Terran get a critical mass of them, which takes a shitload of gas and a very long time. Zerg expanding and repeatedly attacking a transitioning Terran can win, as demonstrated by Dark. Imagine Maru survived that fatal wave of ling/bane. How far behind do you think the next wave was? The wave after that?

As long as Dark had an undisturbed economy (and Maru didn't) he would inevitably win.

I never said it necessarily matter. But the statement tier 3 terran units would lose in a straight fight vs LBH is a bit too much.

Maru's in a much better position than last game, the question is whether it will matter in the end
