EPTI basically just mass lings as a meatshield and spend all my gas on infestors -- and i get a lot of gas early. Simply aim for the immortals or the collosi' and spam R all over the place whenever the high priority are Parasited. I dont know how it would do lategame simply because i've never reached it with this. I either die due to poor timing before my infestors are up or i win whenever i get 5-6 of them.

I dont know yet, but until i realize that through experience i will continue. | ||

Oh and you can burrow move to try and hide it, but they keep downgrading everything that burrows so it only moves about half a snail's pace, so unless you have 600 gas burning a hole in your pocket for an infestor and several upgrades in order to maybe get a chance to use its mediocre spells, you might as well get half a flock of muta and end the game that way instead. | ||

My only experience of playing against infestors is TvZ tho, and I just tend to right click them with 1 Thor and 1-hit kill them :< EDIT: Diehilde used 2 as drop defense once tho, since I like to do 2 thor drops, he kept 2 infestors near his expo and stole 2 thors from me 8[ (or maybe he only got one, it was lame eitherway!!!) | ||

(Feedback+obs+a gazillion range on the spell = bye bye infestors) There's no "cheap unit" that protoss can use here - fungal growth pwns zealots while the zerlgings head for your workers, and zerglings rip stalkers apart. Clever force-fields from sentries maybe? Cannons would help a lot. Templars are the hard counter to this mix, but the toss needs quite a bit of warning to get them up and running. Air might work too - a few pheonixes could pick off the infestors, or a void ray to the hatcheries. Only if you've already got the stargates, though - it's much easier for zerg to switch to mutas/hydras than protoss to switch to air. I like this idea, but I'd mix in a few hydras for added flexibility. | ||
