But it's alright Dark vs Maru is going to be the best possible final. Have to say I am loving this tournament. No Serral, no Catz, meaning no annoying commentary, delusional GOAT talk and other players get the spotlight as well. Reynor looking clueless and getting brutally stomped by Maru is a great sight as well. GGs User was banned for this post. | ||

The units aren't vulnerable inside the nydus and the worm is basically free. Protoss players routinely lose key units during recalls for example. but are more vulnerable when loaded on or off by nydus. because they appear individually. | ||

I agree. Just wanted to emphasize that stepping away from his style g1 + 2 wasn't what I would have hoped he would do | ||

And recall is a one way trip exclusively to defend/save units. Unless you use the version that's locked behind the most expensive unit in the game. | ||

herO who has full map control loses a game basically instantly because he didn't have perfect vision, the zerg had no real risk to lose the game there either (like say if dark had to drop all these units and gets caught). It's a terrible mechanic. | ||

It's a terrible mechanic. Agreed 100%. Risk/reward ratio is just completely out of whack with nydus. | ||
