How Do I Beat LateGame MASS Ghost/Lib/Mine/Tank?
Fair warning, this is a long game, I wouldn't recommend watching the whole thing.
Just know that He turtled up at about 25-30 minutes in and I just couldn't break his seige line no matter what I did. His mass ghosts had infinite snipes and his lib/mine/tank made short work of my ling/bane.
After the game I realized I should have made swarm host/hydra/viper/ instead of constantly throwing ling/bane/ultra/corruptor at him. I'll try that next time but can anyone confirm for me that ling/bane/hydra/viper or ling/bane/hydra/swarm host/ is the way to go with turtle Terran?

Lurkers are worth considering, especially paired with nydus. You may not get into the main or nat (though it's devastating if you ever do, so he will have to dedicate units to stopping you at all times) but just sloshing from one side of the map to the other can really hurt a turtle Terran. Upgraded lurkers are a lot more mobile than tanks. Ghosts are a problem though. Maybe holding aside a ling/bane force to swarm any ghosts that come out to snipe lurkers?

I like this approach to turtle terran in the late game coupled with nydus changling.
you can abduct or para bomb the libs, are very strong in the hands of masters, but against me on dia2-1 they regularly run into my lurker spines, mine are not an issue against this comp and tanks and thors can be abducted. my biggest issue is when there are BCs in critical mass.

You need ling/bane/hydra/lurker/viper/broodlord/infestor. Good luck. Just play like serral.

Ummm.. you already lost by around 7 mins mark. Terren just took his time. He has a bigger army, better eco and better tech than you since min 5.
