Do you ever have it, when after playing Creep a lot, that when you close your eyes you can see it?

[RrR]

Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me nullify thee.

how did you play it just over 3 minutes?

Nice map, pretty little number of beams and a mean corner to get around!
Greetings from The Shire!

Ah, and nice textures!

Nice map!

how did you play it just over 3 minutes?

My strategy that finished in about 2 minutes:

Spoiler

Land both CNs beside the inhibitor. Acquire a freeze tech immediately to pacify the inhibitor, and a conversion to make room for a nullifier. While the nullifier charges, grab another freeze to extend the timer and 2 conversions to be used in a moment. When the nullifier finishes, fire conversions at both tech pickups, then use CN flyby to build a collector near each of them. I took a few screenshots for reference.

Yes I also played the game the standard way after figuring out the speed strategy. It would be a tragedy to not fully enjoy a map such as this one  ;)

Playing it any other way seems like an uphilt battle.
