Can the zerg adequately prepare for both lurkers and mutas? In that case doubtful due to gas. On the other hand if you are asking does the zerg HAVE to scout to decide to go lurkers or to go mutas then i believe the answer is no.. but it would be smarter to scout and see if the terran has defense for mutas. that way if he doesn't you can punish the terran. | ||

Can the mech user adequately prepare for both I mean. He has no way of knowing which you go for before scanners. | ||

altho if theyre going 3 hat hydra then it dies and you're stuck at 2 fac for a year or 2 but ya lack of scouting is a big issue with mech. with fantasy's build the drop provided scouting, some terrans will go fac cc port and make a wraith to scout or count on a speedvult runby getting in... altho thats really hit or miss. theres various ways to deal with it, no consensus on whats the best yet. if you have absolutely no idea and have to prepare for both you're kinda fucked, the bright side is that if they open hard lurk or muta and it does 0 damage and you fe'd you're in really good shape. | ||

I guess really early academy is for Lurkers but is there anything specific they can find out at that point? not really, t is still pretty flexible at that point, unless theyre pumping vulture tank or somethin. | ||

I've seen it and upmagic countered Jaedong perfectly, I don't see how it was meaningless. I'm not saying that upmagic is better but Upmagic definately stands a good chance of beating JD with mech, especially when you consider how JD has lost time and again against mech. | ||

In JDs loss he just committed suicide. Todays game Up prepared for lurkers and fucked up his ebay-timing badly. Both games are really useless to draw any conclusions from in my opinion. Maybe except the fact that 3hatch-play is quite possible against mech. | ||

JD tried an all-in and failed. That doesn`t mean anything. I`m not sayin that Up can`t beat JD, I`m just sayin` that u can`t draw a conclusion from that game. Er, yeah, I agree with Malinor | ||
