lol - that is very true. I kinda forgot about ZvZ in early WoL haha.

ZvZ only scourge, we need them. Why everyone keeps saying ZvZ scourge only... just make them do 10 damage to non bio and whatever damage they deem fit to bio vs zerg air. Why not just make corruptors do splash so that they do what scourge would do? Because corruptors are already the best anti-air in game? (disregarding mirror matchups)

Not sure why it needs to be changed. I like it when it involves attacking with mutas to pull enemy out of position for large ling runbys. I don't like it when it is just sit in your base doing nothing then one fight in mid like that previous game was.

I think Hots will make it more dynamic because you can go roach/hydra, or someone can go with ultras/infestor. Then there's broodlords as well but vipers counter that sure we'll see a few games like that and it'll work because it catches the opponent off guard. But the standard is just going to return to roach/infestor or roach/hydra/infestor.
Yeah well, i don't know how good would do that against swarmhosts.

I saw his name in the qualifier. Went out fast, if I recall correctly.

I never understood why zerg players don't do some corruptors to go with their mutas when they see that the opponent goes mutas. I cannot count how many games I've won thanks to corruptors owning mutas

Everyone plays incorrectly if they don't use what Idra deems they should .

Why don't people get Hyrdas? Hydra den builds faster and Hydras still beat mutas, right?
They can defend vs mutas while you tech into infestors or something...

In case it wasn't clear it was a parody of how idra tends to describe the playstyles of people who beat him.
I was recently linked the following article, which describes a very particular kind of player that seems to fit idra quite well: http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/intermediates-guide.html

Kind of interesting that idra scouts the evo NO baneling nest and still doesn't do ling/bane pressure xD.

They can defend vs mutas while you tech into infestors or something... Ling muta almost always beats hydras. If you go hydras then you need to spend a lot of gas on banes to protect against the large amount of lings, which cuts into your hydra count. It is also pretty hard to get a 3rd on some maps with hydras vs mutas unless you get a shit ton of spores.

I've never lost to that.

Idra is about to get owned :/
|
revival is outmacroing him so hard
|
Game 2 is on Belshir Vestige
Same builds as G1 - Hatch/gas/pool into speed/ However Revival gets carapace as Idra gets a bane nest.
Idra goes up to lair and is able to scout the evo chamber. Revival goes to lair just after.
Both players have their gases. Revival takes a faster third as Idra gets his spire. Revival takes his spire as idra takes his third.
Revival starts to pump out lings to get a cancel on the third while also running lings into the main. But idra smartly has a spine in the main and is able to hold on both fronts. Both players now getting mutas and carapace. Revival also finishing 1 attack for lings.
Revival managing to get ahead in drones again.
Muta/ling fight in the middle of the map, but with 1/1 on lings revival is able to win on the ground and his mutas also win in the air. Revival takes it.
