For pure mobility players could (but don't) use Nydus worms, and in the lategame saving a few units in a small radius isn't that great given how fast things die. Maybe it could make broodlord movements a little bit safer... | ||

Seems difficult to do in practice If you had a probe (one of your own, not neuraled) it would be easy and take almost no APM to kill a couple tumors and do it. But the more I think about it, those particular compositions don't really end up with zerg needed extra mobility. I guess you could save some ultras, but that's about it. | ||

Also not sure how I feel about the tempests and especially void rays. More carriers seems like it would be be better, storm + archons seems enough disincentive to having corruptors dive on carriers? It doesn't seem like either race has fully worked out the best way to play late game PvZ which is cool, even if the late game is still way too passive for my liking. | ||

Often these lategames seem like a test of both players' patience, and the giant fights rarely seem to be forced but instead just seem like "hold my keyboard, I'm going in". Very different from super lategame TvZ, where it often seems to come down to a starvation race that requires both parties to fling themselves at the last couple bases with minerals. | ||

You need the tempests to help the ht deal with the vipers. Past a certain point more carriers doesn't improve the army. | ||

Ping is surely a big part of the explanation but he several times he seemed to not be very well aware of what's going on in the game. That part is probably going to be even worse when playing at 5 am or whatever... Plus Dark looks very solid. | ||
