Its really easy to send your first overlord to some corner of the enemy base and then build a worm there. You destroy their economy early and then do a push using worms to speed up the travel times if you don't completely annihilate them with the first worm. You just gotta make sure you don't lose your network. | ||

Edit: Just looked it up, for 9 nydus worms and two nydus networks like in the vid that's 1100/1100. That seems really significant to me, would definitely only come late game when the zerg already has the macro advantage. umm, you only need 1 nydus network, and 9 nydus worms adds up to 1050/1000, 10 mutas, or 12 ish roaches Although the guy kinda overdoes it in that game, built a few in places he didn't really need to. Edit: thought nydus worms were 50/50 when I first posted this  At that stage in the game it's not all that expensive. | ||

Even if you could send spines through, the enemy would be searching their base or wherever to find the worm as soon as the scream goes, then you'd have to wait for the creep to spread, then wait for the 12 second burrow time. All the while, as soon as you lose the nydus, those spines are going to slowly die. | ||

Hiding nydus worms in random corners would make flanking so easy  "Where did those infestors come from and what are they doing to my colossi" -toss player no he could not defend this. this is the hardcounter against toss FE. this is the reason why you should not throw down an FE against a one base zerg. nydus network from one base builds up faster than warpgate tech. | ||

There could be some amusing Infestor play with Nydus Networks, like using Fungal Growth as the enemy tries to get close to the Nydus to kill it. It also makes Tumor harassment more effective; not directly, but in that Nyduses have more utility than getting OL drop, unless you plan on getting Ultras. | ||
