EPTDay9 always says you can't just say "you know what, having 5 voidrays here is nice, you have to consider how you get there", but now he says "you know what, use nyduses".
Have some pro zergs on to talk about how you get there.

Yet every time this happens, protoss just attacks and melts your base, while cannoning up whatever base you are not attacking. Once your base is gone (protoss will kill a zergs far faster), they just go back and defend their remaining stuff... It has happened a lot, especially in GSL o_0 It even happens to terran. Every time a protoss senses your army can't beat theirs, they just push and win. It doesn't matter if you lose all your probes, your army is weaker than theirs and they are in your production buildings.. | ||

Look at interviews that Artosis has done with Korean pros. The non-zergs are saying that zerg is imbalanced. SOTG is now resorting to a strawman of what the zergs are arguing. ie. Tyler's silly voice. | ||

I know it's Idra but still, they don't even really want to consider opinions other than their own. | ||

They'll basically circle jerk each other's opinions about why zerg isn't imbalanced, but last week, Day9 says he doesn't even want to discuss it, and just laughs whenever Idra says anything. | ||

Incontrol was a Z player in bw and is a Z coach in sc2... While artosis knows a lot about the game and Z, I wouldn't say that he knows a lot more than incontrol. | ||

It feels like the vocal ones have given up, and i think they're wrong to do so. It's depressing, like, "oh no, here's the emo zerg let's hear him cry about how he can't do anything". Reminds me of a few months ago when Geoff and Tyler (this discussion making them hypocrites likely) were saying how the only thing they could do was go Colossi and thus Protoss were weak (paraphrasing of course). It was the most pathetic shit i ever heard. Now Protoss is winning and they're telling Zerg to explore their options. Now to be fair Geoff did admit at the time that perhaps there are new things they could do (ie: build units not from a robo) but he sounded pretty emo and defeated. Not at a Zerg level like they are today, where it feels they (or at least Idra) have given up completely. But it was close. I like how things go in cycles. Pretty hilarious. | ||

You can't figure out the best use for Nydus without using it a ton in a ton of different scenarios. Someone might stumble upon something good. I think vibe uses them. | ||
