That is the point of Nydus, you got the mobility... and those units were mostly Sentries, he could've sent about 5-6 Swarm Hosts, and would've defended his base easily since White-Ra didn't have Observers there and didn't have enough firepower.

But what was really good is how White-Ra destroyed Zerg's army bit by bit after he destroyed Zerg's bases. In those situations, blink Stalkers really shine. ^^

Heh. Yeah, Jakebake could have easily saved his base, but I think he got cocky when he put white-ra into nomad mode for a bit. White-ra had a lot of sentries, but he kept those with his main army, which he retreated to defend his hidden nexus. The attack on the zerg base was mainly zealots until the worm went down, and Jakebake didn't even leave queens to spawn larvae. Also, at the time White-ra's counter reached jakebake's base, the swarm hosts and queens some distance from the worms, so I think jakebake may have assumed he couldn't get back and accepted the base-race situation.

Husky applauded the move to make spine crawlers with his drones, but also criticized why one didn't make a hatch somewhere... until Husky noticed the spines weren't burrowed and therefore not losing HP, which effectively forced White-ra into the tactics he used, but it limited the zerg's mobility. It was a good game no matter how you slice it tho. ;)
