Description

Terran players are going for greed 3 base build right now, and a 2 base timing attack is a good way to punish them for it. This works against various, standard Liberator and Banshee aggression since those are often paired with early 3rd CCs.

The basic strategy is to Nydus into their base with Queens and Roaches and then gut them from the inside out. This build is somewhat cheesy as it depends on your opponent not seeing the Nydus Network going down, so make sure your opponent doesn't scout you

Analysis

In this particular game, there wasn't much Hellion pressure, but presumably there should be more defense there.

You don't really need upgrades for your Roaches in this build. Instead, hitting faster with more Roaches (for the gas) works better.

When you're loading up your Nydus Network, put your Queens in first so that they pop out first. Especially if they have Siege Tanks in position, you will have to be very quick to get the Queens out and start Transfusing immediately.

Rally your units into the Nydus Network to keep the attack going.
