I wonder If this would work vs other races?

With the new nydus being invincible until it is done, I think that surrounding it with buildings, getting the scv surround and a getting some lucky unit spawns from the infrastructure would be the best way to defend it. Also, since you already have a tech lab on the factory, possibly making a tank if you scout the nydus before the attack actually comes.
Just theory-crafting here, very interesting build.

Great build!
You mentioned that 2 base nydus is a threat to watch out for. Is there any particular way to react to that if you scout it early?
