[SquishyPuddings]

nice!

[QuitXxXNowXxXBk]

this looks easy to pull of in a real game

[italicpigeon]

@Rocko0 you can have as many as you want, i'd suggest playing the game before telling people random lies about it.

[Rocko0]

@italicpigeon I play the game daily, and never saw more than 1 nydus at the time.

[italicpigeon]

@Rocko0 why dont you just say "yea sorry i was wrong, im a silver leaguer and dont play zerg so dont know much about them"

[agnogh1]

Cute!



[mrlihere]

LEARN US!

[killerstarcraft2]

love the music <3

[Entar0adum]

dat income

[swamiwasabi]

anyone else noticed the "N" on the minimap?

[Beefcaake123]

@swamiwasabi he says that in the vid

[swamiwasabi]

@Beefcaake123 i had sound off :/

[jeryek13]

@swamiwasabi no, it was in an anotation...

[swamiwasabi]

@jeryek13 i mean anno

[KrnShadow65]

anyone no the name of this song?

[ThePeanutBasher]

@KrnShadow65 It's the Benny Hill show theme song.

[KrnShadow65]

lololol that was great

[Huntor14]

almost as good as mules :D

[Sekair]

This is so ridiculous I have to try it.

[tk667]

thats not a bad idea

[ZekeJW]

How did you make them go back in?

[Narcotics4kids]

wow just wowww gonna try it in a match after work xD

[StarskyStarcraft2]

Zerg OP

[Arnonator]

@StarskyStarcraft2

no they arn't

[MrZdarkplace]

this is how you steal a early rich mineral feild

[Pboy8clipmaker]

looks like nydus worms are throwing up lol

I WANT THIS MUSIC!!! :D

[justwatching4444]

first i thought WTF.. but the second the music started I couldn't stop laughing !

[kdaniel1995]

the music is NICE XD

[Evilfisher]

*turns off music*

[Wzlang65]

Its simple. kill the Nydus Canal.

[mukraf]

Not gonna lie, but this is pretty fucking ridiculous

[beagleboy4ever]

You, sir, are brilliant.

[rus1k1]

200 drones will give more resources without nydus......

[jenikai1]

wow never would of thought of this i might go back to zerg and try it

[OmgItsNikoZ]

DOES THIS STILL WORK?!?!?!



[metalheadjakob]

thats epic dude :D

[meanlittledog]

you could do this to get all the way close to an extractor. close than u can with a hatch.

[paleface171]

Hold down the unload button to do this.

[T810G]

i dont even see how this works out.

[MirageScience]

If this isn't too hard to pull off I could see how people would use it on a gold expantion.

[johnnythekid73]

i dont wanna be a nydus xD

[mediciup]

And you say MULEs are OP :D:D

[TheGuyWithNoCookies]

@mediciup 2 mules = 5 times as much mining as this.

[Fear1908]

@TheGuyWithNoCookies except this is relatively expendable =/, no hatchery / command center required, you lose the nydus there, big whoop, hell you could probably save your drones too =/

[NinpouXD]

lol



[BrotherhoodOfFilms]

Meh, at least they aint blowing off mountain tops

[Canadaman000]

it's got nothing on mules.  lol

[DoesUsernameGoHere]

the benny hill theme song makes it for me.

[regalisk]

how zerg whip planets clean of all resources

[An00bis28]

*cough* no life *cough* wow! Really well made! I like a lot!

[BlueCasts]

@An00bis28 Lame

[An00bis28]

@BlueCasts Nah, it's pretty cool, not lame.

[An00bis28]

@BlueCasts I was saying that he probs has no life for spending the time to make that, but it's still genius.

[Kangooroo08]

Like a boss.

[Gibsonlpt]

this could actually be exploited in real games.

[eskimofo89]

korean joke. LOLOLOLOL

[warlockskz]

this is so win

[BaaldEagle]

well... possibility 1 of not requiring an expansion...

[BIackWater78]

Interesting. I like your taste in music btw xD

[1337Wunderbaum]

How do you make the drones go back into the nydus worm after they have picked up a mineral piece? or has this stuff been nurfed already?

[TheYegie]

@1337Wunderbaum I have the same question.

[soxapoo]

@1337Wunderbaum patrol i would say

[JAt0m]

@1337Wunderbaum is glaub ich nerfed.

[1337Wunderbaum]

@JAt0m english plox, and why are evrything nerfed that z has. Z never get`s anything that is creative and good to have

[JAt0m]

@1337Wunderbaum sry.. yeah agreed. even though i like zerg gameplay :)

[EightBaconStrips]

@1337Wunderbaum Shift-click the nydus i guess

[renamorcen]

@1337Wunderbaum He put the rally point on the hatchery and then back on the nydus using shift.

[PikKirby]

@1337Wunderbaum

I think he set the rally point to go back into the nydus

[Rocko0]

@1337Wunderbaum in-game you cant make more than 1 nydus at the time

[iAaronPhone]

@Rocko0 u can have as many as u can afford.

[Rocko0]

@iAaronPhone im pretty sure I heard Artosis / Tasteless or Day9 you could only do 1 at the time. He was talking to Rob simpsons, employee of blizzard.

[iAaronPhone]

@Rocko0 If you have played, you would know its possible.. You can make as many as u can afford off of the original nydus you create.

[torquil234]

look at that mineral flow

[mildlyconfundeled]

how do you make the nydus unload automatically?

[InzaneMode]

@nbaumg Are you kidding? You obv set a que rally to the minerals and back to the worm xD

new to SC?

[Mutenroixi]

I think u have to be pressing Unload continously, with all the nydus on minerals selected and then with all the nydus near hatcheries.

I suppouse you also have to shift+rally each nydus to a mineral patch and the nydus itself.

[yaris0091]

How did you do that?

[reaperbread]

do the drones automatically go back into the nydus and you just have to release them or are you secretely microing everything?!

[nbaumg]

@reaperbread yeah i could of sworn that they dont. i tested or saw a test and they didnt go back on their own

[Tainted123123]

I know what I'm doing this friday night!

[TheMariajj]

thanks @Arbitrary007

[TheMariajj]

which music is this?

[Paintber4life]

@TheMariajj yakiti sax... bad spelling but thats it

[Arbitrary007]

@TheMariajj It's the Benny Hill theme.

[sickoffindinganame]

easy way to mine an expansion if you've been contained, lulz.

[mrTNT444]

@sickoffindinganame though you dont an extra hatch to help the unit production :/

[Nxsamurai]

love that the larva look like they're dancing in a line, lawls

[tGif2nd]

I would like to see the income tap and worker count.

[HollyPallyHeals]

200 gas for a mining base? awh fuckno

[JAYohnn]

You sir, have to much spare time in your sleeve.

[ExSeaD]

does it actually work? is it more efficent than normal mining

[TheTemplarKiller]

You missed 1 mineral patch... Yes, this is what I look for. XD

[ScBroodSc2]

It's called, multiple waypoints. One on mineral, then on Nydus. One on hatchery, one on Nydus. Then hold "D" and there you go.

[matrix2507]

is that really a genuine strategy ? i mean, can you really do that in a normal game ? or is this video just a joke ? call me noob but i cant tell

[bobthechampion]

@matrix2507 It works in theory but in practice no.

[Maxamix2]

@matrix2507 More likely a joke since every nydus head cost way too much gas to be worth it, i think a nidus head is 150 or 200 gas

[bandwidthzero]

usin that stock music haha

[chengda85]

how do you make the drones return into nydus after mining/depositing?

[Wade2st]

I've seen something like this a year ago or so, and it ended at some point due. Did you have enough drones returning while others were exiting to maintain an infinite loop?

[NinjatoBlade]

Wait what? How'd you do that? Lol

[iHaveGrudgeAgainstUT]

still, how did u manage to let drone go into worm rather than come back, I mean this, in late game when u need remote mine, this would be useful

[iHaveGrudgeAgainstUT]

u know what, this is a very useful idea

[CLIMATE1231]

The poor Nyduses have to swallow so many drones which probably taste like ass.

[nuubez]

1:08 LOL 3 of your drones got lost in the nydus network maze.

[philkiksbeep]

this is how productive things can be in times of peace

[Grahckheuhl]

Yakety Sax makes everything funny.. and the funny even more hilarious.

[atilliusjr]

you know, I always have wanted to island mine without having to make another hatchery

[ltnbooyah]

I don't think Kerrigan will like this...

[LittlePokeDigi]

Didn't see anyone use them at all .

[frankmanplox]

half the time the drones go mine with minerals already in hand o.O, or in claw

[nioxic]

this could work

But.. nydus are too easily killed? :S

[catriceleanne]

lol everything is funny when ur soundtrack is yakitty slacks

[3DCheeze]

Way better than MULES!

[deathfog650]

Nydus is faster though for a quick gold base, Ninja mining as it were. Makes for fast, cheap, low risk bases as you only might lose the end of a nydus and its quite easy to evac the drones, not to mention getting the drones there in the first place requires no direct transfer.

[PowerUp2Sleep]

fun idea, terrible music

[xixMIHAIxix]

it doesn't matter since nydus is more expensive than hatcheries and it doesn't produce any larvae...

[619studios]

@xixMIHAIxix true but you just get some good rich patch mining without worrying about losing a hatchery, you could easily evac the drones and u can make a hatchery back at your main. it would be no different than having a hatchery at the min patches. just more safe. youd get the mins back in no time

[Danmonkeymanpwns]

Nydus mining can actually be useful... its cheap and enemies ant travel through them.... not only that but you get fast transportation of units...

[ghksgmlk23]

Music just add the finishing touch

[sutki6]

there was one mining place you didn't use

[cruffatinliveth]

I've never seen drones this happy!!

[TheGreatRakatan]

Seems like it is way too micro intensive to be useful if you have to set waypoints for each of the drones.

[45axelh]

@TheGreatRakatan you don't waypoint any drones.

[emilos911]

@45axelh that does not make it effective though.

[Xadanar]

@45axelh i did this on a much smaller scale and mined out my oppents main because he was attacking i destroyed his main base and when he went back he had no minerals

[Rurike]

@TheGreatRakatan i think the problem would be the cost of all those nytus networks

[alubedopiasora]

@TheGreatRakatan lol the waypoint is just the exit of the nudus worm and if you do one of 2 id would probably be worth it but in that scale was just for this video

[Amumuish]

@TheGreatRakatan all you have to be is korean.



[GMan19861]

shame hes only producing off 2 hatcheries

[evgenykandybko]

Imagine what will happen if Kerrigan finds out about this...

[RunescapePvpVideos21]

@evgenykandybko if you've finished the game, Kerrigan is no longer.

[SnareDrummer26]

@RunescapePvpVideos21 um, lol how can Kerrigan be no longer when the entire expansion to SC2 is about her after she turns back to a partial human. lol

[TheRtsKing13]

@SnareDrummer26 plus she fuses back with the zerg because she finds out about what she has done and about the Xel'naga

[RunescapePvpVideos21]

@SnareDrummer26 i was talking about infested Kerrigan. plus i havnt played the expo yet.

[Venomivy1617]

@evgenykandybko Drone: worth it! *Forced to transform into hatchery*

[luzel100]

@evgenykandybko *Insert nydus mining Facility here*

[Baumstumpfarbeiter]

lol very nice

[wontonintheus99]

hahaha that is AMAZING

[FaceSTAB411]

is this legit? i could use it as an alternative to actually getting expos and just have 5 macro hatches XD

[MrGenodragon]

I actually did this, and it was extremely fun to do. Except it takes forever to set up properly.

[MrStiigg]

fucking genius 

[TheVendetta116]

Id love to see your income a minute...

[EvilNecroid]

i used to be worried about taking an arrow to the knee but then i took a nydus to the knee and someone stole my sweet roll

[TheSlugOfLove]

@EvilNecroid hahaha excellent

[Juanototo1]

@EvilNecroid watch?v=mSDfxde8fSg

[EvilNecroid]

is this real?

[Shavre6562]

wow crazy

great

[MegaManyo123]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa asome

[TheKingArchon]

Its like having mules but not as OP

[fogosz]

THAT'S INSANE!

[D00ml0rdKazzak]

My god... he nydus'd her main!

[luzel100]

Now do it with Gas...

[CaeserFox]

i should get like 5000 drones and steal minerals from my enemy's expos like this

[lxie27]

200 drones....

[MrNikk54]

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!

[aierce]

can't get it to work, is this a modded map?

[TlMpossible]

its not as effective as it looks..

half the time the drones dont even drop the minerals back into the hatchery.

so they end up mining again. pretty inefficient but funny for the lulz

[luky153]

now do that with Gas
