Why do Zerg players dismiss this kind of thing, and then turn around and say their race is boring and underpowered? I get the distinct feeling people are looking for reasons to complain and don't actually care about the solution to their supposed problems.

Awesome video. The more Nydus play we can get, the better. Changling block is just that extra bit of baller on top.

The changeling block was beautiful. The nydus drop SHOULD be considered standard play, but it's not which is one of the reasons why there are so few good Zerg on the the US/EU servers.

That was smart nydus play, but if you watch the entire video, why is it that the protoss had so few units? Why did he never expand? Blocking zerg from his natural, killing the high yield before it even turns a profit, and fighting a zerg who is running on low econ with a half saturated main, it seems as if the protoss ought to have had quite a bit more by then, both army and tech wise.

I thought it was pretty cool - especially the part where the toss army got blocked for a little while by the changeling xD

For the same reason every non-zerg player like you are saying "HEY NYDUS IS AWESOME ABUSE MOBILITY TERRAN PROTOSS TERRIBLE ZERG AWESOME U JUST SUCK".

This topic has been discussed so many times it's getting kinda boring.
Nydus isn't really horrible or anything, but it's not the final meaning of life answer for zerg or anything like that.
It's easy to stop, it can be amazing when it works, and hurt really bad for the zerg when it fails completely.
It's risky, you need it to do damage otherwise you are fucked.

Very nice work from zerg. What zerg should be doing, but not the greatest play ever.

This is new and original and has nothing to do with the toss player not scouting and letting a changling block his entire army.

I don't really understand. People try this all the time on ladder because its their one gimmick and they think they're being sneaky putting a nydus in your base. He just made more than one. I guess it was ok playing but I don't really see how it's unique or amazing.

5 Nydus worms, 500/500. 1 network, 150/200. Go ahead and put a mastercard joke in here, but this is midgame. If it failed, and it easily can, that's damn expensive.

tester always has 1 zealot patrolling his main. 1 zealot will kill a nydus worm only allowing one or two units through.

I like how so many no-names are saying "I do this all the time" or "this is normal." Considering chain nydus has not happened at any major tourney, no one cares about you beating randoms in ladder play. Pull that off on a streaming tourney and then post about how "normal" it is.
