EPTI tried this in a game and took out my opponents army twice before getting steamrolled due to my shitty macro.
My question is if this strategy is at all viable at a higher level than I'm playing at.
Is this a viable strategy vs terran mech?

I think it wont work cuz Gollies absolutely rape ovis, plus i dunno if timing the ovi drop ability plus speed is really worth it so early  | ||

If your opponent gets 4-5 valks scourges arent gonna matter, they will evaporate just like the ovies, 5 upgraded valks can kill ovies in like 2 seconds anyway. This is really risky but it could maybe be used once if the Terran doesent have any valks. Other than the build day[9] suggested does work fine against mech terran, you wont have to micro the slightest (well a little bit but nothing out the ordinary). This shouldnt be your main strategy but you could try to pull i off once, though it would be hard. | ||

Shuttles are much faster than overlords and zealots last longer than hydras and still you dont use them when the terran has too many goliaths, and since that is the case vs a zerg.. Also, theres a reason why protosses never attack with half their ground army and recall the rest in the middle of the terran stuff. By halving your army youre really damaging its effectiveness, Both their damage and their life expectancy are reduced by more than half. And no matter how good your micro is, you wont be unloading from all your overlords at once, and if you lose the battle, youre not only losing your army, but also any chance you have at rebuilding it soon. Theres also no reason why your army shouldnt attack at once. | ||

I stated that you build a massive group of mutas and send them in to draw fire form the goliaths, then send in the ovies. by the time u make a "massive group of mutas," terran will have double the amount of goliaths. This isn't viable because it's not cost effective due to losing all your mutas and overlords. LOL | ||

"i'm going to use my new and perfected strategy to end the terran mech army here we go *mutas dying* come on ovies, almost there! *ovies popping* *1 or 2 hydras made it out* *terran never sieged though* =(" lolroflmao | ||
