The comments were a tad lame, but nice hold lurkers. I love doing them... So cruel, yet so effective. They are the best thing to do when you're behind imo.

What I like to do is during the terran push right after your muta harass (1-2 tanks, and 1-2 control groups of mnm):
When they push out, build 3-4 sunkens, and then burrow your only lurkers (assuming you are behind, 4-5) outside of your choke. Far enough so a scan won't see them. Stop them, and when the terran camps outside of your base, attack, and unleash the beast.

LURKAH POWAH! FTW!
Oh boy I admire your spiderlike ability to trap the enemy where you want them, not taking the initial marine bait and going for the big kill

I count 10 marine kills in all (including the scouting marine) and one medic. Very nice!

Any decent terran player will have a science vessel when they push out after muta. Not having one then usually means that you didnt follow your build order properly.

Some Terrans want to push out if they think you haven't done enough damage with muta harass. This is a good way to punish them. GG.

I disagree. There are many build orders or situations where a vessel is not involved in a terran offensive movement towards the zergs natural. Either it's picked off by scourge, isn't finished making or simply further behind the army.

Case in point:



Unless of course Iris isn't a decent terran player?

Damn man that's still one of my favorite osl final moments.

Pictures don't show all the kills. Total count 20 (this included scouting marine), only 1 lucky marine survived. There was even one tank but it was killed pretty quickly. My luck opponent was macroing when I used hold lurkers, so he forgot to use scan :D (have to remember this game was D vs D)

yeah but hold isnt available by default for lurkers, so it probably wasnt intended to be available for lurkers

No, he had 6 dropships but they are off the screen already.

zerg faggotry imo.

The terran probably should of waited for a sci vessel like his other terran compatriots, so I guess it is his fault too.

Hold Lurkers vs toss chon/lot/temp aggression

I literally finished this minutes ago.

I love love love hold lurkers vs toss when I can do them.

Game quality, not so much. Hold lurkers vs midgame aggression, when you can see robo building at expo, So much fun

You know, if there is one thing I do not understand about Hold Lurker discussions, is that how anyone can discuss it without showing probably the best Lurker trap in the history of StarCraft.

It makes absolutely no sense that allied mines are illegal while stop lurker is allowed.
The same principles apply, and the lurkers stay alive while the mines are gone at least.

You forget the fact mines blow every starcraft ground unit in 2 hits and tend to hit way more targets than lurkers do. Maybe you also forgot they do not cost any mineral and vultures are strong enough even if depleted of mines. Game is fine like this.
