He shouldn't nydus your main, obviously, because terran buildings can fly. No point base racing a terran. Also no point going mutas. Gl trying to take out bunkers that are being repaired, much worse than turrets. And not that 50% of your production AND economy is in front of Zerg's base, anyway.

What he SHOULD have done is nydussing ANYWHERE outside his base, get 50% of his lings outside (which you can't prevent, because the worm can go up virtually anywhere), and flank from behind while banelingrolling your front.

GG.

I love this. The terran mantra is "expand towards your opponent." Why not take this to the next level by expanding ON your opponent? Seems brutal to have your whole base at their natural. Easy to defend and contain at the same time.

what if the zerg just nyduses behind your army and then surrounds you with units instead of going through the choke? And on top of that you lose that base and you lose production facilities out of your base

The OP really reads more like a blog than a guide, what with all the images and captions and the lack of any real analysis of the different things Zerg may throw at you. For example, if Zerg is opening with 15 hatch, then gas before pool, can you create a full wall before speed finishes and they do a run-by to go kill your main? What happens if Zerg goes for a 2 base ling/bling bust before you have any tanks out? These sorts of busts can work cross map against full rax walls.

Definitely seems like a fun thing to try to throw an unsuspecting Zerg off-guard though!

What happens if they roach/bane all in? seems like it would break you and then you risk losing your other base to a speedling counter.

Yeah I agree, there's a variety of builds that could kill this - some of them require you take gas before you've scouted it's this coming though - for a long time the zerg is only going to see 2 bunkers at their natural ^^. I don't so much mind dying to blind all-ins with this build, because frankly it's not a safe build - it's a fun and successful build against the current zerg gasless queen heavy meta :D
As for nydus-ing out and flanking, your tanks are probably going to be at least semi surrounded by structures to the rear as well.
But yeah this probably does die to a variety of things - if you're SURE this is what terran's doing. The whole point is that it's mostly good against people who've not seen it before

I've been doing something similar on 2 player maps.

I go for 2 Raxes (12,14) and send like 3-4 SCVs to bunker up outside the nat. I constantly produce workers and cut Marines when necessary. There are a lot of different scenarios but usually I take double gas once I have about 3-4 bunkers down. Then I get a Fac for Tanks and Ebay for +2 Building armor and slam a PF on his third, constantly adding on more Bunkers, Turrets and Buildings to block. From here I transition into Ghost tech and nuke the shit out of him.

Also works against Terran and Toss but you need Vikings to deal with Tanks or Colossi.
Starcraft 2 is funny, everybody picks the race, which he considers to be the weakest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i used to do this in tvp beta->s2, except with a well-executed TvP 2 rax (reactor/TL) and bunkering their nat , containing them in their main, then building a proxy starport for vikings in case he goes collo, then PF'ing his nat.

This looks hilarious.

I remember when I did things like this for the lulz back in ZvP during Brood War with proxy hatcheries and sunken/spore/lurker contains outside P's nat. Actually I think I saw this happen in a pro game as well

Unfortunately P's have colossus now


Also you definitely want PFs for the contain outside his nat. there's no way Z will get enough banelings off 2 bases to bust those.

Lol that was the idea
Actually been having pretty huge success with this build, bout 70% win rate! Although I advise not trying to do it on condemned ridge - boy is that map large. Also I've since been called a fuckingpussy, a shitkid, and a trollfaggot. I wear these noble titles as badges of honour.

This is the funniest thing I've read in a while, I must try it myself on ladder. As soon as I can I will watch all the replays.

I think this strategy was stolen from Select. He did this to me, and it was quite effective.
A zerg who opens 15 hatch should never lose to this, though.

He called it "building terran," like a play on sky-terran, etc. Zerg just has to break the contain before it gets out of control. By the way, it's just a joke build, but I think it can be pretty effective at lower levels.
