Tastosis keep claiming that this strategy is completely original, but I think I remember seeing Idra do this in the GSL on Steppes of War and called it a creep highway or something like that. He built a bunch of hydras and spine crawlers and ran them down the map while overlords spread creep to make a path for them. It's not the exact same thing, but similar enough to say that Nestea didn't make this idea up on his own. Does anyone else remember this game, or did I just make something up?

you should never throw cannons past your nexus if you can help it, as that's just inviting the zerg to go swarm you with 2 base roach ling and just kill you for your poor simcity ~_~

nestea's build works brilliantly because anypro opted to go for stargate instead of rushing his gateway units out to defend - anypro felt safe because of his 3 cannons and thus cut gateway units to get his air tech, and nestea completely took advantage of his complacency.

Nestea could've brought a Queen to kill the Void Ray and put down a tumor

Making the queen walk all that way? You are heartless sir.

Wow spinecrawlers are very effective offensively, can't believe no one has ever tried that before in a tournament game. Seems remarkably effective against an FE protoss. Can see the ladder exploding with people trying this now hehe.

Isn't Artosis and Tasteless overhyping this build a bit? lol

it's a unique strategy done in the gsl in the semi finals. Risky but oh so rewarding and the timings worked out perfectly with the hydras defending then attacking. The hype is justified
