seriously anytime a terran starts massing marines i just smile inside because i know i will crush them.


Ah, zerg with infinite gas? You're going to mass mutas, and banelings, and make infestors as well?

I didn't say you can beat a zerg just by making a bunch of marines and missile turrets... I was simply saying IF a zerg is massing mutas, I personally deal with it by ramping up marine production and making some turrets.

If the zerg starts massing up something different besides mutas, then obviously you have to deal with it in a different way...

The technique isn't called the magic box. The magic box is, in fact, an actual box.

Idra just makes good use of the magic box's mechanics.

Not really saying tryin got build 10^20 Banelings, but maybe 1 or 2 to every other muta you have, burrowing them and restricting movement for the marines so the mutas can go to work. You can also try to be sneaky and maybe drop some baneling in the back of his base and then burrow them ...when the mutas come around you can bate the marines in if you want.

Well, ravens are a core unit in TvZ for many reasons... burrow being one of them... A few banelings isn't really going to cut it. They are easy to snipe.

Ok here is the dynamic I'm talking about:

This is how I'm thinking of things.

Marines>Muta
Banelings>Marines
Raven>Banelings
Muta>Raven

Snipe off those ravens! I'm just talking about the matchup dynamic, where high level zerg players WILL dominate terrans.

I can't accept anything that simple, brian...You obviously have to protect your ravens. If you try to snipe *MY* raven, you're going to lose QUITE A FEW mutas doing it. And quite frankly I tend to make plenty of ravens because of PDD...It's not like I mass them or anything, but generally I won't have just one unless it's my first one. And when I do have them, chances are they are sitting right on top of my main force, with possibly a PDD planted there.

You're going to have a tough time just running in and sniping them without taking heavy losses. Things aren't as simple as you say.

Thats why I love this, the better player will come out on top! : D You have to have really good control, both people do.

The problem is the spoiler tag doesn't show up in the sidebar. I'll move it to the left side.

Anyway, let this serve as an official warning to stop the flaming and incendiary posts by anyone.

now the trick is actually staying alive to take advantage of this in the early midgame, which gets rough while getting harassed by reapers/hellions all early game.

never played zerg huh?

once you are on 3 or 4 bases you can pump 25 mutas and have gas for some banelings. you dont need that many. lings to spend your excess minerals. sounds good to me.

reapers should be removed from multiplayer. NO ONE uses them outside of early harass. hellions are enough early game pressure. reapers are too much.

if a zerg is on 3 or god forbid 4 bases, muta/baneling is the least of my concern. I'm more worried about ultras at that point.

Those things can poop all over my base pretty fast.

Pardon me for asking but what does right-clicking unburrow do?

Maybe it'll enable auto unburrow og auto detonation though it seems a bit advanced.

Right clicking on unburrow sets it to autocast. Enemy units that walk over it will casue the baneling to unburrow then explode.
