I made this map to practise my lurkling micro. It has helped me with my 1a2a3a4u quite a lot, so I thought I'd share this with you.

I imagined a situation where the Terran is threatening my natural on Python. I must now do a big attack that determines if I win or lose. The computer AI is quite dumb and it doesn't necessarily stim all its marines. Still, it isn't very easy to kill the huge blob of marines.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nymwzf4gj2n

Zerg:

3 control groups of lings
8 lurks
2 queens
2 scourge
2 overlords on cliffs

Zerg has zergling speed upgraded, also ensnare.

Terran:

30 marines
8 medics
2 tanks
1 Science vessel + scanner

Terran has marine range and stim researched. I didn't give the vessel irradiate since it's more effective to matrix the tanks. There's a CC in the back to give Terran scans.

Why would you give the zerg queens? Most zergs don't go queens at all so isn't it ineffective to be practicing using a unit that you wouldn't be using and that could put you behind because of the gas it needs. Its more effective to get a faster hive and defiler tech instead of queens.

True, but I wanted to give as many options as possible. You can just ignore the queens and hotkey the other units.

That is a very good point. I have a friend of mine who loves to use Queens in ZvT and was playing some hyrda + ling + queen thing in ZvT when he was C+ on ICCup last season so I guess different people like different styles.

ok I played it, you actually win by just attack moving all lings at the same time and burrow the lurkers

(you dont need to flank or come from different angles, just hotkey 1,2,3,4 and attack move)

Any tips on how to more easily select just a few lurkers at a time to burrow them seperately? I guess the only way is to use elite mouse skills to seperately select them :/

You know, they say post count shouldn't determine the poster... but from mr 26 post here....

Anyways, can you play this from the T with the zerg flanking correctly? I assume you can't get cpu AI to do that so we would need another human for this to work?

I thought the title say "ZvT Zerg PRO defiler micro map" and when I opened it I was like "wtf where's the defiler???"

Can't wait to try this out

I think if you select a lurker first then shift+select a blob of units, you can hit u and burrow all the lurkers you have selected (if you don't have burrow researched)
