At some point, terran should have sensor towers in every base.

Watching spanishiwa make a good use of nydus worm, Terrans should kill the overlords posted around their base and see instantly where to relocate the army before the screaming worm pops out

I'm writing these posts because i watch starcraft2 since the early days of beta and i have had a lot of ideas that eventually have been figured out by pros.

I'd like this blog to be a collection of ideas that i keep having and hopefully inspire the pros that i love watching

Sensor towers are underused and i can forsee it being a standard late game thing

Or, you could let the zerg place it, and then kill it before the spawns (which is very easy), and the zerg just wasted very precious 100 gas.

Not really a ground breaking prediction... seems more like common sense. -_-

You can also just put units around your base. Overlords aren't the only way to get vision, you can also fly mutas to harass and place a nydus as you are going, using the mutas as a distraction. Sure the sensor tower would still be nice but it is easily picked off and 100 gas isn't cheap.

Nydus worm is a double edge sword, if used improperly it causes a lot of damage to the zerg because units funnel out 1 by 1; and well its expensive to begin with. It's great in ZvZ as you can avoid the creep slowdown by teleporting onto theirs. or going into positional advantages such as in shakuras plateau, doesn't work well vs other races due to having earlier "siege uinits".

In most cases overlord drop is just better, it's harder to stop and dropping units is much faster then unloading out of nydus.

Kidding, but I don't like the clutter and this could get annoying if he did this multiple times every day. TL shouldn't be a personal diary.

That's technically what the blog section is for, no? :p
