Alot of zerg I play against in medium~ diamond go muta + burrowed roaches. Harass all weak spots with muta and then go roach+hydra. With the new overseer spawn infested terran in 200vs200 he throws infested terran at nearly all of my expos making it very annoying and while my army is out of place he hits a base. I believe your problem is getting more than 1 expansion. You only need enough resource to make your 200/200 army then a-move and win. You're spending too much time trying to defend multiple expansions. Just get the one, get 200/200, and then collect your win. | ||

Your on top of this thread. +1 Idra shows if you know what you're doing, ZvT is imb, except it's not in favor of Terran or Mech LAWL! BTW what is the challenge, I don't get it? Sen / TLO are challenging that THEIR terran MECH is IMB? Orrrr.... | ||

Broodlord beat all terran ground units and static defense. Roach counters pretty much all early and mid game mech as well. It is 30 minutes long so I let you pass for that one and no terran is just going mech, they go mech and viking. | ||

TLO challenged top terran players to a showmatch (where he plays Z) to prove that mech is not overpowered. Not sure if anyone has accepted that challenge yet. | ||

Just at certain points in the game mech will have advantage and other parts Zerg air will have the advantage. Really it could have gone either way. Imba is just someone saying that when they themselves lose to that often and have not found a counter to it. Once this strategy is used more people will change their strategies again and find something to counter that and new strategies will continue to exist for quite a while. It has shown the weak sides of mech and exploiting them so learn from this and use it. | ||

It's very hard to actually test if something is completely imbalanced or gives a higher advantage to one race or the other just because of the wide variety of skill level among players. Maybe I'm crazy...probably. | ||

that fancy roach unburrow stuff that works pretty well against a hand full of tanks is just obsolete once the "critical mass" of mech is reached, benefiting hugely from the "no overkill" AI. well what is left ? infestors NP ? it does not work. even if you manage to pick off, well let's say 4 mechunits or let it be 5 which needs pretty decent micro against such a ground force it won't make a difference because your NP will last about 1,5 seconds if you're lucky ... or so -.-. broodlords only work theoretical. don't know what to say about ultras ... | ||

He said maybe Maka was the best but euro / US are not so great. Am I just making this up? I think I remember it from one of Artosis's interviews. So if "lower level" terran players are giving high level zerg players a run for their money, and often beating them, isn't something wrong? I don't play either race, so I'm just on the outside looking in and wondering... It's very hard to actually test if something is completely imbalanced or gives a higher advantage to one race or the other just because of the wide variety of skill level among players. Maybe I'm crazy...probably. Tester said that the reason he believes that Zerg do so well on the Korea servers is because no extremely good terran's from the pro leagues were playing terran in SC2. There were however a few pro zerg players from the pro leagues in Korea that played zerg and he believed that why Zerg does so well in Korea. He also mentions in that interview that Terran would be the best race and would dominate if played by the Korea pros, but that was patch 12. But recently he has changed that stance against Zerg. He now prefers to play Protoss against Zerg at least and Terran against Protoss. That leads me to believe that he believes Protoss is strong against zerg and Terran is strong against Protoss. | ||

Vice versa, if Zerg wins, Terran will say that the Terran player made certain mistakes...etc. It just seems like this won't solve anything. Although, I shouldn't complain because I enjoy watching high level games Actually most Zerg willl just go "I told you so, mech was imba", judging by the tone of this and other threads. Agree that it'll be nice set of showmatches to see even if it won't get us out of this quagmire. | ||
