all depends on the situation there are some situations where it would make sense to attack the lings or even sometime where you have to.. but im still pretty sure most progamers target lurks if they get the chance ;p | ||

And on the note of killing zlings instead of lurks in TvZ thats just plain crazy.. lings are cheap and 2 per egg.. i think your trying for a pretty farfethc'd game strategy if you dont take out those splash damage gas expensive units.. | ||

The logical choice is to use those larvae for something, the logical use would be to build drones because you allready have the lings. b) You kill the zerglings and leave the zerg with low larvae count and high gas. The logical choice for me would then be to tech towards hive fairly fast. Would be intersting with a good z players take on the situation, because if most players would react the same way (or if one way of reacting to the situation is signficantly better) this would more or less give T a way to controll the game in the direction that he wants. No, both points are wrong, because the amount of gas you have doesn't change in either situation. You would have to spend it on lurkers in case A, not drones, otherwise you would get raped by m/m, and case B doesn't change anything except for the fact that you have x(125) more gas than you do in case A, where x is the amount of lurkers you made - and that should be spent on... well, until you get an expo gas, more lurks or scourge for sci. | ||
