Infested Terrans – Maybe for 2on2?

Posted by Lipton on May 29th, 2009 filed in StarCraft News

So after the introduction of the new OSL Map "Holy World", which features a neutral Command Center in the middle of the map, we've seen a pretty nice game in which ZerO uses Infested Terrans in a ZvP Matchup against Kal.

Now after his game, there was a pretty lengthy discussion on teamliquid.net about the viability of Infesteds against Toss and their possible imbalance.

You can find that specific thread here.

Now of course this is not happening very frequently because normally there is no such thing as a neutral CC. In 2on2's though, a Zerg could have his Terran partner build him a command center, damage it and infest it. Especially when playing double toss opponents this could be very devastating when there are masses of zealots around.

Basically Toss units are so expensive that even taking only one out with an Infested Terran will most of the time be worth it.

How viable would this be? I'm not entirely sure this would be used in every game as Z/T but I can see some uses in specific match-ups.

What are your thoughts?

Oh and with this post, I'd like to join the BlizzCon 09 ticket contest.
