But one unit combo will never be on this show, Roach/Hydra... I think u2 should go more in depth because it seems like alot of ur conclusions are based on "i feel". That's the problem. Artosis and Idra will never focus on the imbalance of Zerg unit. This show is really disappointing because of its bias. | ||

Agreed. Would be nice if they took a less biased view and looked at all races equally. | ||

So when you scout the Protoss going this build you can easily take a third since the VR and Colossus are going to take a while to mass, then start pumping mutas and queens and a few infestors ( really you only need 3 with full energy). You can also use the mutas to harass the Protoss. mutas a strech 'cause the army still has a good number of stalkers in it. but infestors are pretty good. i've had a lot of frustration vs infestors fungal growthing my ball and stalling my push/weakening me and @PPTouch: This isn't relevant to the thread at all, but your name made me lol. Bonus points if it was an accident. | ||

But it is slow, as it has to stay together. I'd say muta can abuse that. Also, both Colossus and Void Rays are pretty darn expensive, I really doubt that protoss has anything to defend from the harass. I mean, I'm not saying that a protoss deathball is weak, but geez. Gateway units are borderline pathetic until you get blink or charge (which is pretty darn expensive by itself). If you're gonna make that deathball weaker, buff toss' early game, if only a little. | ||

lol, Did I say that in my post? Way to jump to conclusions. It simply gives a better context for what they are saying, showing the build orders etc. | ||

If fruitdealer created a "never-before-seen" strategy that beat the shit out of orb/bigt/(insert average master league protoss here) on GSL television, would you create a youtube video about how imbalanced zvp is? | ||

I have encountered this build many times, and when you see it coming, it is actually a lot easier to stop than people think, the only problem is mass mutalisk instead of mass corrupter, I'm surprised that Idra would not attempt to come to this conclusion...I guess because he goes roach / hydra / corrupter EVERY ZvP i've ever seen him play, like I said before, no offense but I strongly disagree, Muta / ling / bling with upgrades destroys voidray / colossi / zealot army. EDIT : The only real thing you have to worry about when massing muta / ling / bling is them going storm / archon, and even then by the time they do this , you can just tech switch to mass roach / ultralisk then broodlord and you will almost always be fine. | ||

Also i wish they would`ve said something about mutas in this video, did they test them or did they forget about them? | ||

They don't like to add things that take away from their bias argument, thats why they were not mentioned. | ||

I think really to focus on this one matchup is silly. Terrans have just as hard of a time as zerg do with collossus, especially when coupled with phoenix. What is the terran solution? Timing pushes and chip damage to keep the protoss army from getting extremely powerful. Good example of a zerg who's timing pushes rape good protoss going for that death ball... check out Morrow's games at Assembly. He played zerg midgame unlike anyone ive seen in ZvP. I dont think zergs have a right to complain until they understand timing and these two clearly dont. If winning GSL was as simple as macroing well and not missing your spits, Idra would be reigning supreme. Unfortunately for him, starcraft is more complicated than just that one facet of the game. | ||

Should not every build have a counter? Also being on 2 bases is all-in, so Zerg must also all-in to defend it And please stop talking about VoidRay/Collosus/Sentry, it is so incredible gas heavy that it can only be performed if the Zerg has played passively the whole game. Therefore, do not play passively. EDIT: Your argument is not fluid and strong and does not take into account all factors. User was warned for this post Dear Moderator who warned me (Zelniq most likely), "Your ignorant post implies that you did not watch the entire video, which you should probably do before you denounce their argument." If you look at the time from which the thread was posted and the time of my comment (9:07-9:39 ), comparing the two you will realize that my comment logically comes after watching the 30 minutes video. And yes, I did watch the whole video. Also, my comment clearly stems from what they were saying. They were not looking at all the counters, just naming a few that failed in their eyes. They even mentioned Zelniq's counter, which I've had done to me and stopped my "deathball" pretty coldly. But then they go on to say how not viable it is since a Protoss can counter it - RTS fail? I could name off a counter to the Protosses counter to the Zerg's counter, but that would get redundant. I do not appreciate being warned for disagreeing with an opinion and pointing out the flaws of an argument. Sincerely, Barca | ||
