Fungal Growth

Guys, I played a game (I'm in diamond, a terran) against a zerg. I 2 raxed him and i killed quite a lot of things, and delayed a lot of mining time.

Then I pushed him again, and he barely held off with MASS zlings and a bit of bling.

Then he started fungling me and my army just got completely crushed.

Guys, seriously fungal growth is a REALLY REALLY EFFECTIVE cast against terran. I'm not gonna lie, but it makes marines useless, and makes everything a shooting target for blings.

Quick Comments

Congratulations on coming out of the cave you have been living in since last patch.

I'm pretty sure all Zerg players already know how awesome it is.

I played a Toss once, and between his base and my base on Shakuras, I got 8 fungals off on his (Prob about 120 food) deathball, and by the time he reached my base, my 10 or so roaches totally wiped everything out.

I think we're going to see a lot more infestor play soon, well now really. People are really starting to figure out how to use it with huge results, kind of like toss did with forcefields.

May have to work on some anti infestor plays!

people who hotkey infestors to there zerglings will often lose them as they run in thinkin there ultralisks head first and die to 2 tank shots.

Quickest way to kill a mineral line, and they can move while burrowed,

Infestors are the shit.

Had no idea, thanks.

FUNGAL GROWTH A+++ big damage. Fast dps. Great snare. Would cast again

Fungal > Bio killer. Which means must mech, Broodlords + Infestors + Zling > Mech.

[iMSystem]

Infestors are still brutal against mech, the only choice is spread out your units, or get ghosts

[dKiWi]

Infestors are deadly but not annoying. Like mutas. So i favour mutas.

[EveMassacrisM]

People don't use tanks in Diamond ?

[Benji]

Tanks or Ghosts.

Also Infestors means less/zero Mutas, so drop the hell out of Zerg.

[PiG]

keep your marines spread. practice it and it wont take too long to get the hang of it

[deL]

I also heard colossus are quite effective against ground units.

This reminded me of the game between sCfOu and LosirA in the GSL recently.. but SC won 3-0 lol.. first game when SC was pushing so hard with rines but he had good spread so even blings and 1 or 2 infestors with zlings and roaches coudlnt hold for long enough...... Oh so many marines lol

[Monk]

ZvZ is the only real applicable spot I use infestors due to the range of collosi and siege tanks. Against MMM balls infestors are quite good, but ultras are even better. ZvP infestors get feed backed(ex catz vs hasuobs nasl 4-4) before they can even cast a fungal if the protoss is on his toes, and they usually get 1 shot from feedback too. They also get annihilated by colllosi if the infestors are even a little out of position.

It may be large dps as well as a snare, but coming from 90 hp units.. it's probably not the best way to spend that much gas if you're not already leading the game. It's a real make or break a game unit, and I don't like that.

Had this happen to me for the first time last week. Totally out of the blue I get the message OUR SCV's are under attack go back and look at them and there they are covered in fungal and a few infested marines hanging around them. Scan and see the infestors burrowed and crawling away, it had never happened to me before. Luckily for me he over invested in Infestors and he had little else left while I had 4 bases and 20 rax

LOL! You should watch spanishiwa's games more. He has been doing this for a while now. Ghosts got a buff so use them. Protoss has got storm and HTs.

On a side note, I hate ghosts and their EMP when I get toss! RAWR! QQing like a baller.
