He's been in mid plat as random for years.
Says protoss is easy 1a bullshit race yet has the worst record with protoss.
Tell him HT is too slow to feedback infestors, he'll tell you to put them in a warp prism so 4 of them can be fungal locked to death at once without being able to unload.


Please, check my match history and tell me exactly how many 1v1s I've played in the last 3 months :) Or let's be real, how many 1v1's I've played since the game came out. If I wanted to get serious about SC2, I'd be masters. Unfortunately, I'm getting sponsored for a different game :> Stay jelly.

Also if you think I seriously consider any race "easy" or "imbalanced" you've fallen victim to Poe's Law.

Hell no, you need to be fucking terrible to have 1 emp  to hit more than one of your infestors, those untis are so fat, and the emp radius is so small, it's just not fucking worth it, and sniping is slow

Excuse me again, but what leauge are you? not meaning to offend you, but you don't seem to be playing too high.


Use 2-3 EMPs, hit all the infestors. They have a big as fuck radius.

Once again, in the past 5-6 months I've played about 20 games. If at any point since the release I care enough to play one day a week for a month straight I'd be masters.

yeah 2-3 emps for 4 infestors' energy is a great trade.
You just can't hit enough of them in time, and if you make too much ghosts they aren't worth it, actually they aren't worth it, except if you go pure bio, because then you pretty much won't have anything else against brofestors.

let's just leave it be, it doesn't matter, anyone could be masters with a little work, the thing that would matter is that you are not, so you don't have the knownledge as someone who is in fact masters or higher, and actually how can you state things like "that is working"' when you don't play it yourself, you haven't seen enough scenarios, you just did not, you can just play it in your head, with a totally different outcome, but in the game it's not usualy going the way people imagine it would.

No, it just sounds incredibly childish when you say "If I was serious in sc2, I'd be in masters." Well, you don't, so why even mention it?

Btw, I'm betting there are only a few people in this subforum who play this game seriously..mini, that dust dude, and probably a few others. You're a theory crafter who probably is much better in LoL, so stick to that game. God knows getting above plat league is too mechanically difficult.

Yeah, if you don't think that you can hit a few infestors with a single EMP you should probably quit before you say something even dumber. Or maybe you're just terrible at aiming EMPs, who knows. Either way, while tanks are the common counter to infestors, ghosts can be just as effective. I have/had (not sure if I deleted them) several replays from Curbello using ghosts vs infestors in masters league play to great effect. Both snipe AND EMP.

Want a replay of mine where i shot emps right in the middlle of fourteen infestors and there still remained energy for enough fungals to deal with my army? That was the last time i tried using ghosts against infestors even though i was very confident in my bio plays for my top tier splits n agressivity, but i just changed i switched to mech tvz for a more stable play. With enough siegetanks focus firing infestors won't even get into range. Meching has brought a nice boost to my wlr ratio against my high z friend, it was definitely a good decision. (main conclusion is that the infestor is too fucking fat to be worthwhile emping)
