I also think Lurker style is probably the way to go against toss. 10 range makes quite a difference, and it's good you get them earlier.
I think it’ll be a flow thing and how things fit together, although lurkers being outright better helps too.
It didn’t really matter so much in the past that Zergs had a relatively awkward transition where Protoss could build whatever because if Zerg made the transition they were extremely hard to ever kill.
Now it feels maybe the downsides of getting extra tech, slow-moving units, corrupters which aren’t very useful in mid game busts etc are sufficient drawbacks for other options to be explored.

Sure, share with us these replays.

yeah tbh idk how it's possible to follow sc2 and not know who Artosis is. like, no hate to anyone, i just literally don't understand how that works. meanwhile i don't really know who Winter is so fair enough i suppose.
I think you don't have to "follow" SC2 to follow Winter. Many people are just playing the game and then see on twitch some guy playing that neat game who plays it as casual as they do and so they stick with it without ever searching for more. Probably many of 'em don't even know TL.net.

Great thoughts on race balance from Lambo there. Aim for a balanced lategame for all races with less powerful massive units to make it more dynamic. All races have defenders advantage, so that will help balance the rest of the game as well because nobody has to go for risky strats early to avoid lategame.

i haven't been able to watch a lot of games due to work but it looks like on liqupeida that the koreans are crushing.. are the games close?

Wasn't PvZ zerg favored in late 2018?
Like at BlizzCon Stats stood no chance against either Rogue or Serral.

There are a few examples of Ultralisks/corrupters/Infests style which worked but the neural range nerf makes it probably useless, then we have the BL/corrupters/vipers which is the way to go but then the bl nerf hits hard as zoning out the ht is borderline impossible. ITs removal is not the only nerf zerg received, actually, every late game tools have received a nerf except the viper.
That said, there are some ways against toss, terran with the super-thor is quite worrying as serral, Catz and every other top zergs pointed out.

Thought you just go mass hydra + caster support vs golden armada
That or you just kill them before the armada is out, or at least aggressively trade and force Robo units etc. Not in a ‘don’t let them get there’ manner but it seems doable as at least one approach.
I’d thought Zergs will lag behind a bit in adapting from the last patch vs top Protoss players like Stats who seemingly tried every late game composition to find something workable.
Hopefully we’ll see some more new approaches in the coming games though.

Can't talk about tvz but spewing out stuff like "not having any counter to mass carriers anymore" is just bullshit.

The infested terran buff was introduced in 2017, so i don't see how zerg doing well in 2018 is a point to show that Zerg can do well without infested terrans...
