It feels like a strategy that is all about momentum and snowballing - if it can be pounced on initially, it could be blunted, but nevertheless cool to see Serral use that strategy | ||

Only because serral has complete map control and economy dominance. That's why he didn't just rush ultras even when he had the tech, but stayed ling baneling hydra for a while. | ||

I think it’s stronger in the lategame than with risky allies Just seems the perfect way to keep poking until you get a way in and it keeps you from a Terran being able to weather full frontal assaults while building to Ghost Terran and chipping you down. Serral kept on sniping the depots blocking entry to the natural, so he had the choice to relocate his forces and attack the left planetary, shave off lings and run by via the natural, or jump on the production Again the mystery is that we [/i]don’t[/i] see this frequently employed. You take Zerg’s speed and vision advantage in lategame and basically add teleporting to it | ||

You take bad trades because of sim city, but it works if you're already very far ahead and helps if your multitasking is notably better than the opponent's | ||

Being able to telelport your army in the lategame means you can almost pick and choose to attack wherever you can take a good trade. You can relocate faster than any terran set up can. Especially if terran is trying to get past five bases where they will naturally start to struggle to hold them all. If it starts to snowball it would be very difficult for the terran to recover unless you deny all vision getting in. | ||

Serral didn't like to use Nydus when it was op, now he seems obsessed with it xd It would be great for Serral to beat Reynor and Neeb, usually hard opponents for him, to lift the WCS trophy again. | ||

Especially in just picking away and stopping transitions into ghost lategame, or perhaps vs non battlemech as well. It may require a tempo advantage to pull off, but plenty of legit strategies do tend to need that. | ||
