Mondragon answers User questions

From Squarewalker: I'd like to know how viable do you find Nydus Worms (for late-game mobility), especially in ZvP (but also in ZvT against mech). They are very rarely used by progamers, but they seem like something with a lot of potential that has yet to be "discovered".
Indeed, it is a very useful strategy to harass. Though due to the user friendly way of StarCraft 2 they added a sound to hear a nydus worm coming up. I think they should remove the sound. If a player does not cover the crucial areas to prevent a nydus worm, he should suffer the consequences and not be helped by the game by a sound telling him that something is wrong.

From CosmicHippo: Dear Mondragon,

 Why do you say you have won important matches in the past because of luck when you obviously have shown not only in Broodwar, but in your match against Zeerax, that your games are'nt luck based, there very much you just destorying the other opponent?
I did not really destroy ZeeRaX. He’s a fantastic player and for sure he did not show his best play which made it look as if I destroyed him. In fact it was just because he had a bad day.


From sheaRZerg: What is your opinion of zerglings in SC2. Do you think they have lost the potential for any sort of early pressure in SC2?
Nope, Zerglings are really bad in my opinion. You cannot really put any pressure on a good opponent because they are really weak, they stack really bad and get killed by splash damage so easily.

From Testie: Dear Mondi,
If there's ever 2v2 tourneys in SC2 Want to kill them?
Easy! Lets do it and push the easy Button :D

From Swain: Hello Mondi,

 First of all, congratulations for your performance against ZeeraX. You haven't got much time to play StarCraft II because of your studies and yet, you still managed to defeat a player who's played more than 4 000 ladder games. You always claim that you're a lucky player, don't you think you have a talent for this game?
Indeed, I have a talent for this game, but without any luck, talent does not help you either



From sheaRZerg: I was wondering if you had strong feelings, remembering the awesome runbys you used to do against toss in bw?
Haha. Well, the run bys were a great thing and it was fun to exploit the lack of safe wall ins, but unfortunately Blizzard made it so user friendly, that any building can completely block off units. I dislike that a lot as well.


From StuBob: If you could bring into sc2 one zerg unit from brood war what would it be?
Defiler instead of useless Infestors and definitely Lurkers instead of useless Banelings!

From StuBob: What is your favourite new zerg unit/tactic in sc2 that wasn't in brood war?
Roaches
