the whole nydus situation is so absurdly hilarious


What is exactly absurd? The nydus is well killable, costs money - Lambo has spent like half a bse of resources on nyduses alone. It seem like being in a great spot and creating interesting games like this.


yeah i think people are overreacting about nydus cause it brings all these new tactics... but if you look at the winrate for nydus-based play in this tournament i would guess it's below 50%. at the moment it seems more flashy than it is effective especially when it's overused without a clear purpose by many zergs

there's almost no punishment for just throwing them up wherever there's even a slight chance of it working

hence why you see zergs do it over and over

this isn't a balance whine, i legit think it's funny. watch some of these games lately, just nyduses everywhere, even in some zvzs.


Nah the new nydus is a great way to favor positional play and strategic dept, now if only they could bring back tankivac to let terran play to their full strategic potential.

I know its heresy but I actually enjoyed playing tankivac tvt....although I do understand why it had to go


I definitely loved watching it. 2nd best TvT in history, only behind early HoTS hellbat

Someone suggested that Nydus could only be built on creep and I liked that, mostly because Overlord poop doesn't see enough play.

I don't know that it's actually an issue though.

Seeing a legion of Phoenixes right above a Nydus is hilarious though.

How do you figure? In-base Nyduses would be harder, but Nyduses near the front door would still be entirely viable.

Would it? Nydus in front of the natural would still be possible, hidden nydus in the main too. Overlord poop creep fast and the in zvz you could nydus in the other guys creep.
Maybe stargate opening would be too good vs them Idk

I think it would just be too much effort for the gain that a nydus brings. APM is a ressource

I thought Neeb might hold there but those hydras where sick. Glad Lambo didn't just rush in after the first nydus earlier on. Great game.

Hum maybe, I still feel like it would at least be more viable than going back to a squishy nydus
But then again I don't play zerg

Did the players have to use the custom skins, or did they just become massively more popular today?
