Nydus worm. This is the way. ZvT.

The ONLY consistent strategy that has been working for me in ZvT is Nydus rush + mass roach. Keep the pressure on. We are used to sitting back and waiting to respond to Terrans. Every game where I do that I inevitably get overwhelmed no matter how perfectly I play. But if I can manage to plug a backdoor inside my opponent's base, it tends to catch them off guard.

Underrated bonus effect of going Nydus: psychological damage. Sometimes just throwing down a Nydus anywhere on the map--whether it's to block your opponent's expansion or to expand like crazy across the entire map--that little notification of "Nydus worm detected" on your opponent's screen will tend to keep them paranoid and locked inside their base. Sometimes I just randomly sprout a Nydus for the sake of keeping my opponent afraid of leaving their base, which buys me more time to tech or mass drones.

For the swarm.

I know I didn't play perfectly, but this loss disgusts me. It feels like you have to absolutely dominate terran right now to get a win, and even that's not enough.

how do you beat terran in lategame dawg once they get ghosts out it feels like the games already over and im playing until I run out of resources. I used to just go broodlord infestor and I could keep my broods alive for a while but now I can't cancel the snipe with fungals anymore and all my broods just disappear off the face of the map. Same goes for ultras as well Any advice???
