strategy thought for ZvT (longtime viewer but not a player so please go easy on me if this is a dumb idea): "Bio Fortress" ie what if Zerg were to setup tactical hatcheries at high ground choke points in the middle of the map, similar to what Maru pioneered doing with planetary fortresses? Like in this match, Reynor maxes out supply at 10:10, at which point he has 96 workers and creep over 50% of the map, including Maru's side of the center. At this point he's banking 3K minerals/min that are totally unproductive. Say instead he used this surplus to lay down 2-3 hatcheries at the top of ramps and chokepoints. With spine crawlers built in the soon-to-run-dry main and an overseer pooping creep, an outpost could be up and running in less time and cost than a planetary fortress. Benefits: 1) lock in creep without having to manage creep tumors (which inevitable fall by the wayside in the chaos of combat). @LowkoTV cites the disadvantage posed by receding creep spread at 25:28. 2) facilitate building static defense at the front lines without the concern of pulling drones from the line and risking them traveling 3) ensures a queen is always close to the action and with energy available for healing since she's not pooping creep 4) since these chokepoints are where Maru's offense gets most bogged down, even with a full complement of ghosts, thors, libs, firebats, and tanks (see 34:30 of this match, also 2:10:50 of his Bo7 match with Serral last xmas), having faster reinforcements, permanent creep, and the ability to withstand multiple nukes will make it even harder for him. Even if the position eventually falls, he'll have devoted a ton attention and slow-moving units in one section of the map that is ultimately expendable. Which dovetails nicely into 5) even as one position is under assault, the others can serve as staging grounds for ling/bane runbys, viper yoinks against Terran expansions 6) potential to opportunistically long distance mine / setup popup hatch on opponent's expansion. Even if the enemy eventually shuts it down, the minerals are denied them forever 7) static defense are safe against libs and steady targeting, and only cost minerals, freeing up gas for vipers, which can also consume them for energy 8) provides a safe base of operations for brood lords to hide behind, minimize the distance they have to traverse and always maximizing their range by shooting outwards towards the edges of the map

It seems the Terran strategy in these late game high level TvZ is to starve out the Zerg with cost-efficient trades as they slowly expand. While the Zerg tries to break the Terran before they deplete their income base. It makes me wonder if sending mass banelings to break bases is really worth it.

@DrApylon 2 жыл бұрын
It can represent a massive tempo swing if you take out a base and force the Terran Army to split apart. The issue was Reynor took a big risk sending most of the banelings after the high value ghosts, which if they hit would have likely ended the game right then and there, otherwise when he hit defensive positions with banelings he didn't have a follow-up prepared and was unable to capitalize on the hole he created. It 100% can be worth it, but you need to have a force that can capitalize upon it to cripple the infrastructure, destroy the army outright or establish a solid contain to prevent expansion.
@ReverendJRBobDobbs 2 жыл бұрын
You can apply a simple formula to shorten you watch time with these TvZ games. Watch until the Terran gets a ghost ball. Check if the Zerg player is Serral. If not, skip to the end where the Terran will have turtled till the map ran out of resources and then won because, despite controlling the majority of the map for the majority of the game, the Zerg player has no cost effective way of attacking him and just runs out of money.
@Arkeli5 2 жыл бұрын
Incredible game. Their nerves must be shattered after a game like that. It's very tough to know what to do about the Terran late game, especially against the quality of Maru. I mean, you trade out early and mid game, to try and stop the Terran ever reaching the deathball but then if they manage to hold on, there's an argument to be made that you didn't trade efficiently. I thought Reynor was testing Maru with the nidus and if there was a time Maru didn't respect it, lings would flood in. There was one opportunity for that but Reynor didn't seem to fancy it. I wonder if he'd loaded all those banelings he wasted chasing ghosts into the nidus and poured them out into the production would they have been better spent? What a game though. I've no nails left 😂

One of the most frustrating things about this Zerg late game is how broods are not only the slowest army in the game, but also the most expensive, and still ineffective at fighting compared to the Taron army without their spellcasters energy being high. But when those stars align and Zerg is able to mine out the whole map, I think any other terran in the world would have buckled under this pressure

It does feel like ghost is too efficient. Between the EMPs, the nukes, the snipes and the invinsibility, this one single unit counters almost anything a zerg can do save for lings, which are easily dealt with by a few other units. In TvP, ghosts can emp the toss army and remove all shields (+ energy and cloak), countering in a single spell a ton of units, while being cloaked and having a great range.

On the other hand it's one of the only reliable late game counters terran has against zerg or protoss, as it stands now late game without ghosts wouldnt be viable for terran. If you do a massive debuff of the ghost you would have to slightly buff some like mech or sky units if terran. But that would force terran out of bio in the late game making their play style way more static
@joshuakim5240 2 жыл бұрын
The main problem is that the Ghost basically carries Terran as a playable race on its back for any lategame play because every single non-bio unit Terran has is too garbage to perform the roles they're supposed to in an remotely efficient manner. If the Ghost is nerfed then Terran becomes unplayable at the professional level unless most mech and air units get a substantial buff to compensate because Ghosts are that absurdly huge of a factor for allowing Terran to succeed at all.
@kawashinimon 2 жыл бұрын
I've been saying this for years LOL. Ghosts are one of the most broken units in the game - EMP, cloak, snipe, and has a solid stat base including regular damage. They're not even drastically more expensive than other race's spellcasters. And of course, nukes (but nukes are in a great place IMO). Yes, Terran mech/sky needs to be buffed back up and ghosts nerfed down. Terran play is already static - ghosts, ghosts, and some other units to support them.

That's a big nerf to Archons which are the natural counter to banes by soaking their shots.

@@Whalery that makes sense. My worry was that banes would be better again HTs, but I forgot about archons. Obviously it wouldn’t make much sense if archons had NO unit types. That being said, I think that the best way to keep ghosts from dominating the late game is not to nerf them into the ground, or even buff other units around them, but rather to buff things that counter the ghost even slightly, so that there would be more general use of them in the late game, reducing the effectiveness of the ghost
@Whalery 2 жыл бұрын
@@josephdiscavage2709 I was thinking about the efficient of snipe. Instead of dealing 170 instantly, it should deal 120 + 50 over 1 second. This means it will not instantly kill roaches, vipers, and swarm hosts like it used to, but they will still die from bleeding out. Unable to insta kill is a huge nerf and allows the bleeding units to soak some extra damage or do extra things before dying. Ultras will receive a huge indirect buff by unable to just 3 shots to kill but 4 and wait till them bleeding. With this in mind and combined with the raven change, it should reduce the power of ghosts in a bit. They will still dominate a lot of Zerg units with 2 shots tho.

"take Terran bases early and start mining them" that Is way easier said than done. raynor in this game tried to kill his opponents bases multiple times attacking from different angles and didn't manage to break through. zergs do not have power in the late game all late game zerg units get countered by ghosts.

@@creeperkingdom3190 How this dynamic changes if zerg does not engage? Thors will always outrange broodlords, the only difference that there will be more Thors. Lay down the creep, bring queens to the front and lay siege to terran. What attacking enemy bases has to do with what I had said? The idea is to take expansions which are normally terran's early on and fully saturate them with drones and defenses. The idea being that if you have early to mid game lead and cannot effectively trade armies or close the game, you should instead leverage that advantage into economical one. If Terran tries to kill one base, you then gather your army and kill one of terran's expansions.

Why doesn't Reynor focus a target like a zergling or a creep tumor with the brood lords to put the broodlings on the ground and then select the broodlings and A move to the Terran army?
@etistyle96 2 жыл бұрын
most damage of broodling comes from impact. The damage after that are realy low. plus the distance between the terran army and the broodling would be cleared by tank.

Ghosts are completely broken, and always get a free pass when other units get a nerf. The least they could do is cap the number of ghost to about 5 or so. You can have only one Mothership, and that unit is still weaker (less useful) than a ghost.

Yeah, thats why Zerg need to keep Terran stay in the corner and start to mine out the bases on Terran side, you cant win if both side mine the same amount on the map.
