hydra,with the speed upgrade removed from BW,was almost completely useless against fast-moving terran bio (marines n marauders)..cant be used to close in on sieged tanks, easily bbq-d by BFH,no extra dmg versus thors,only nearly speed equivalent to banshees when on creep,had to get a bunch of them to quickly snipe battlecruisers...
plus,the cost of making a bunch of those hydras where u cant really harass terran with it makes them almost out of favor in ZvT.

such expensive,fragile units

protoss - some melee units available
terran - only 1 melee unit

n to tech to colo,it takes quite some time.you wouldnt face a toss user who pushes out with colo without extended thermal lance. terran? some handful of marines will do the job quite nicely..oh,did i ever mention ghosts can 2-shot hydras?

i do what Day9 told me to do..
"if u see some weird build,u can just sit around idle...or u can just go f*cking kill them"

oh,i do at least 6 roach aggression.maybe 7,8...10 roach aggression,whatever it takes to make him reveal his hand.
just to be safe,having more than 2 queens at the main works..

i thought this skill is only 1 use? like those spider mines for vultures in brood war.3 mines,& thats it.

oh,how i would love to have the overlords as detectors just like in BW...
100 minerals well-spent ...

it's like Funday monday Mass Contaminate all over ~~ !!

blizzard doesnt really listen to us infestor-heavy users..

this...particularly when they send in like 3-4 marines at a time
if a flock of marines coming in while stim,i just split / avoid killing them 1st until their stim runs out..

but now i aim for very juicy things to kill,like siege tanks or medivacs... banshees as well
if vs toss,aim for those HT or immortals...

ling +2/+2 is a MUST
escalate into ultralisk to tank the damage from siege tanks..
or u can just use infested terran eggs to tank the dmg
do ling split if u see terran do marine stutter-step

but it is too APM-intensive,especially when they got u cornered

baneling nest is a must,so that opponent forced to make rauders,not marines
this in turn,reduces the number of marines available on the field.not much,but it'll certainly help a bit

then,make a proxy spire.hide them well,& estimate the rally points of dropship play.make as much mutas as possible,hide them well. +1 mutas are much effective.

oh,get cracklings (lings with adrenal glands..hive tech) & drop them at their base.it'll be a nice distraction.let them taste their own drop-play medicine..

i know dis isn't /k/,but...

drills or gtfo!

that's why i ask for drillz..
unless he did photoshop,change his badge...

but still,fairly easy to check his rank on sc2ranks.com

so, in short..
master the art of infestor play....

toss see my spire
straight away make cannons at mineral line + archons + mass stalkers

i shud fake mass muta build next time if i somehow see that toss react that way...
mass hydras + infestor ftw

not to mention,creep highway is a must
unless of course,the use of nydus on large maps like taldarim by Catz

the scv will yell...
"That's a negatory...it's blocked!"
or the robot will yell...
"unacceptable landing zone"

generally i go for lair at 7-9 minute mark
just held off the 1st push by them

but i also will, on rare occasion, go for a 3 minute lair if i sense heavy gas build opener by the opponent & an engy bay by terran
a sure indicator of Ketroc's Planetary Fortress build with mass ravens (look it up on youtube,u'll see what I mean)
