Not trying to be rude, but you will get a better response with a standalone thread in strategy. | ||

Also, going cors reaver is a great choice vs any 2 hath build, as you deny mutas / ovies with corsair and get fast ob / reaver to defend lurker or mass hydra. Also use your initial 1-2 zealots and try to scout his natural to see the 2nd gas. If no 2nd gas and 2 base play only, that is hydra. If there is 2nd gas, that is muta / lurker. | ||

It's actually pretty hard to remember everything unless you practice and figure out solutions on your own, there's endless amount of scenarios like these. But yea, the answer is pretty simple if you think about it more critically.. not really a case of "2 base lurker drop rush because this is bullshit" being an OP build...... :DD | ||

List of Unit and Building Sizesthanks It is based on the pixels of the sprite to the sprite of what its targeting. This is especially noticeable when you see protosses positioning dragoons to hit a bunker. | ||

Do they ever try Lurkers? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1arHzCajkSQ Was that really Bisu? He scouted what looks like 9pool speed + lair and didn't block the holes in his wall. The build also looked greedy vs an aggressive build. | ||

At 8:00, how does bisu know to start making cannons? He had no scouting and if Z just kept droning up he woulda lost the game right there, so not sure what his thought process was. Granted he saw like 8 lings but that doesnt really mean shit in terms of making like 7 blind cannons | ||
