IntotheWoW, I've noticed a mistake in your guide. In the title pic, the lurker is above the ground, thus enabling the marine to maybe kill it.

Well it doesnt mean it wont work. As you can see in the Jy reps it does work. Also JulyZerg, before going pro used to play with 9 pool/12 pool a lot. It means it becomes less effective vs them, because they have less mistakes and as a consequence, less things for you to exploit. And on both maps (luna & peaks) its just not misplaced bunkers, you need 2 bunkers. Because in the first example, if he bunkered near his gas, i would just go for his ramp. And in the second one, if he bunkered down, i could burrow near his expo, from above and go behind his minerals.


The gas i take it after my pool is done in most cases, but of course you take it some time after in certain cases, like if you are being bunker rushed.

One important thing i forgot to mention is to take your expo gas after the lurker den is done. But it also depends on your drone count. If you manage to damage the terran early on, then you can use a "wave" of larvas to make some drones.

why do all your examples have misplaced bunkers...? and on luna the terran seems kind of noob. i can't see any medics or tanks but see fast starport/dropship. whats wrong with just expoing against your strategy?


When expoing your tech as terran you are late with your tech. In the Sea.Jy reps you can see that sometimes he plays around with lurkings with the objective of making the Terran waste his scans. He burrows and unburrows quick while running off. Once he scans 3 or 4 times (3 scans in main and 1 in expo usually), he cant counter your lurkers for much longer, and vessels arent that easy to make while you need to make marines all the time to stop the Zerg attacks.

Nice guide, should be really helpful for a lot of people, but as you mentioned against a really skilled terran the effectiveness of this build drops to near zero Their is a reason this style has died out on the pro scene. A good terran will just mass marines out of 2 rax non stop then place a cc. From their they will get a quick acad and pressure your sunk line, then pull back once they've forced sunken and with a HUGE economic advantage they can just play defensively. Bunkering the front with 2 maybe even 3. Then they can split their forces up and cover both mineral lines with mnm. Add in good scouting and it becomes extremely difficult to do any damage to the terran while still getting a 3rd gas and/or defiliers in time to stop the first ball of death Most Ts will time it with 1/1 while going 4 rax double fact and getting vessel. Then move out with their first vessel and a good number of tanks. Very very hard to deal. Sorry but that terran looked really bad, just in the screen shots Why would you EVER have your marines in that formation, leaving your ramp open? Also as someone mentioned before his bunkers are misplaced.
Being healthy, it has been said, really consists of having the same disease as everybody else.

I think this guide still works for the average TL reader. Its kind of "huh" to only discuss things that work at progaming level. :o
