I'd like to but I'm fairly sure that trying to run teamspeak and a SC2 4vs4 at the same time would result in my computer comitting suicide.

Vent? I can run Vent + SC2 on my macbook. And no offense to TL, but I have a Vent server and this'd be the perfect reason to use it.

oh i kinda thought that you had to use teamspeak since it's the teamspeak tournament but it just says to please use it and that it isn't a requirement.

vent I think would work?

Soo....basically it's an opportunity to get destroyed in 4v4? I'd be up for that.

Ghosts: Snipe the Broods / Infestors, EMP clumps of Infestors.
Drops: Brood/Infestor is very very immobile so abuse it and drop marines everywhere.
Upgrades: You need 3/3 Bio.
Scouting: Watch for the tech swap, if they suddenly stop renforcing with Broods or Infestors then start scanning to see if they are doing an Ultralisk swap.
Harass: Run around with hellions and menace expansions, all it takes it 1 or 2 good volleys and you've crippled an expansion. Run around with a small batch of marines and kill creep tumors, even if they die it's fine.
OC: Scan is more important then Mules most likely, by this point you shouldn't be starved for minerals (if you are then why did you stop making ghosts?) and heavy muling will just make your bases go dry sooner and zergs going to be doing their best to contain you.

Ghosts are mandatory however your core army can be mech yes, in fact it should be as without tanks there is nothing that can stop the zerg from just running you over with 80 banes, BFH are always decent at clearing slings off your tanks/thors and you need at least 1-2 thors to force the zergs to magic box their mutas to prevent a giant flock from roaming around one shotting everything. However marines are too versatile / cheap to stop making and without drop harass the zerg can just sit back, macro up and stockpile resources. You need to constantly be bleeding them or they will reach the point where they can do the brood -> ultra transition from 200 and the game is basically over.

If you are going end game mech though you need to include some ravens for PDD to allow your tanks to remain seiged long enough for your ghosts / vikings to kill the broodlords.

Edit: One other important thing with endgame mech is it's critical to have your tanks / ghosts kill any infestor that is NPing as you can't afford to suddenly lose half your thors.

SNIPE IS THE NEW IRRADIATE BUT WITH MORE RANGE AND ITS DAMAGE ALL FRONT LOADED (JUST NO ERASER TRICK BECAUSE THAT WAS HELLA DUMB), EMP IS THE NEW EMP BUT WITH MORE RANGE, PDD IS THE NEW DEFENSIVE MATRIX BUT IT PROTECTS AN AOE NOT ONE UNIT.

Edit: WELL HUNTER SEEKER MIGHT BE THE NEW IRRADIATE, NOT SURE YET.
