What is more efficient for taking an island, nydus or overlord drop?


The latter

200/200 for ventral sacs

150/200 per nydus

what about research time + slow overlord movement? i've never tried to do this so i don't know how it plays out, but does nydus let you take the base sooner?


Yea its faster, but it also makes a massive sound letting the other guy know you made a nydus.

You hear that sound no matter what, right?

I think that Scarlett and Major will go all out against Polt, since it's their only chance of winning anyways. Major should choose Polt first and if he wins, then I think Polt will choose Major. Obviously if MajOr loses at any point it's just Scarlett vs Polt, but Scarlett and MajOr probably won't challenge each other.

I agree. Scarlett/Major has no reason to pick each other since that just means more pressure to face Polt 3 times alone, since only one can emerge victorious at the end of the day.
very illegal and very uncool

edit: i assumed we were talking zvz for some reason, but i guess that matters a lot in the other matchups

70 combined time for both nydus networks, and 130 for ventral sacs

only the first nydus is 70 though, the worms spawn a lot faster than that


I combined the nydus' for the 70. The main nydus is 50, and every nydus after is 20

Nydus you and attack you. Thats what I did anyway.

but isn't that countered the same way you always counter nydus by preparing for it and having vision?

They'll have no choice. Only one person can walk out on the last day, and Major/Scarlett would have to face Polt 3 times.

He's like a Matrix agent, sooner or later someone is going to have to fight him, he holds all the keys. I think they should dress up Major in a Neo robe-thingy if he picks Polt.

Major gets first choice, then Polt. If Major wins he's still on elimination point, so Polt will probably pick him anyway. If he loses...well, then it's Scarlett vs Polt with 1 life advantage.

No. Win or lose, it'll still just be 3 matches against Polt.

So Polt how does it feel to win the RBBG with 3 lives left?

Kind of sad, I was really cheering for the rest of them to take 1 life
