I'm confused, if you're Zerg, you shouldnt have trouble against lurkers and dark swarm.

If you're Terran, push out before he gets defilers, and once he does have defilers, you need to have vessels(bio) or ALOT of tanks (mech).

To be honest, it sounds like you lack basic understanding of TvZ, AND of the forum rules/guidelines. My advice is to lurk moar.

Best thread ever.

As terran you mean? You would need vessel to kill defiler and also to always move your army back or away from burrowing lurkers. Irradiate defiler first so it can't cast more swarms. Move around and pick off lurkers when they are not burrowed.

You can't. Once they have position + Lurker + dark swarm, you have to retreat. If they're at your base, you've already lost.

The only thing you can do is prevent future lurker + dark swarms with Science Vessels and Irradiate.

1) Force him to dark swarm his entire path to your base.
2) Meanwhile, irradiate Defilers so that he wastes precious gas.
3) Pressure his base so he's forced to defend instead of attacking.
4) Prevent expos.

According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.
