Smart placement also includes putting worms sufficiently away from worker lines so that your opponent needs to commit forces or suffer a significant economic hit to deal with the threat. | ||

How about this: Attack with your army. While that battle is going on, macro up whatever additional forces you can rallied to the Nydus and start a worm in their base (or at an expo). There is a decent chance they'll either be distracted and not see the Nydus, or, if they do see it, they might not be able to do anything about it. After or during said battle, put some units in his base. It's always going to be a gamble, just like every other strategy and tactic in the game. Your goal is to find ways to raise the probability of success of said strategy/tactic. | ||

If you manage to split up your opponents army with nydus worms because he thinks he has to rush there with a ton of combat units just to prevent the enemy from getting inside his base, well then you're playing against a noob. But yes, currently that might work with a lot of players, as a lot of those "'Top Terrans" and "Top Protoss" are just one-basing noobs who will get felted once a few balance patches come out (or the expansions). Against non-retarded opponents who know a little bit what they're doing, it simply won't work. | ||
