Whats the best race vs zerg?

[nuclearhead]

well, of course irradiate is a good idea, but zerg could simple use a queen to parasite one of the tanks, use overwhelming numbers of queens to broodling all the tanks, use defilers to dark swarm all the bunkers, and send in fully-upgraded zerglingz to kill the defense, then use scourages/overlords/devourers to rid the air units after the turrets and bunkers are destroyed. what's the counter for that?

Well that is why u shouldn't bunker in, it is too easy to counter...

[nuclearhead]

bunkering in is one thing, but the terran player might also use bunkers/turrets/tanks and other stuff for resources and offensive strategies, so it should work against all of them right?

 

[AKA-47]

Bunker/turret/tanks on the offencive only works vs toss.

Why not against zerg? And why only toss?

By my opinion, Toss would own zerg. Corsairs and its "Disruption Web" makes zerg ground units useless and Templar and its spells like Psi storm can rip them apart and hallucination is also useful. Corsair is also good vs zerg air.

Terran.... well, most of their ground units is vulnerable to Queens Broodling attack. Irridate would hurt zerg units and not all zerg players are smart enough to divide scourges into certain groups and attack your air units. If you are playing a non-money map, Terran is a good choice vs zerg because Terran unit aren't as expensive as Toss and Ranged units are pretty good vs Zerg. Firebats are also useful because of their splash damage.

ZvZ? If your opponent is an idiot, then you would obviously win. I usually attack with air and some queens and defilers. Defilers have plague and Queen have Broodlings and Gaurdians have pretty good range attack. Mutas, Devourers and scourges can help defend your Gaurdians from enemy air while they are attacking.

Its not mobile enough, zerg will expand a lot more than toss and terran.

 

[Renzokuken]

I see what you mean. Besides, now, i dont turtle. Just wall at the start then liftoff my barracks for metal to pass.

 

[the_horde_rulz]

terran is best against zerg for 3 reasons. firebats burn the **** out of any zerg ground units. and if they throw too many air units at you marines. tanks blow lings to puddles

 

[AKA-47]

I dont see how firebats own hydras, lurkers, mutas, scourges, devourers or guardians ;P

 

[Renzokuken]

I think Terran is best versing Zerg. For -

- You don't need to tech to metal or BCs very quickly, or in some cases, at all.

- M&M is your main attack force and is VERY VERY cheap.

- M&M owns all Zerg except burrowed Lurkers, Guards(if in large groups) and Ultralisks!

- M&M SV & Tank support is all you need to win.

- Alot of Zerg players tech to Mutas and M&M owns mutas, no argument.

And thats my story

 

[Renzokuken]

Oh. And firebats are only good when versing mass cracklings/zerglings or Zealots. Sorry to double post.

 

[Zero]

Definetely, the best race against Zerg is Terran, because M&M with Siege Tanks Own all ground units, as Renzokuken said (lol), and also because is the easiest race to use, but besides that, it all depends on your own strategy, it is not a matter of units 'cause it's quite balanced

 

[AKA-47]

Some say that terran has a slight upper hand in that MU but i think it's balanced enough. Depends on the map.

 

[Renzokuken]

Always. BUT. Protoss can be excellent vsing Zerg. PSI-Storm is excellent for killing those hidden lurks, mass lings or mass hydras. Zerg needs alot of units, and when bunched up, PSI-Storm is unstoppable vsing them. Zealots own Zerglings, provided they have the attack upg. Dragoons kill Hydras, hit & run lurks. Corsairs own all Zerg Air.

 

[Renzokuken]

i think ur right

 

[Sc MaRiNe]

u guys ever play that map, um.... fastest possible?
I played it once and kicked thier asses with one psi storm at the mineral field. It put thier miners to 0 in one minute.
The same can be done to burrowed lings. They die real fast when psi storm is used on them. basically, I reckon PSI-storm is the best spell in the whole game (vs units)
