Scouting for Overlords in proximity to your bases is the straight up counter to getting 2 cm lurker dropped in your mineral lines lmao.
Who knows if he's talking about slowdrop or not though. We need more replay/info.

???????????????
you always send the first corsair to his main and ignore any overlords at first, unless you got a lucky probe scout and know what tech hes going.
second corsair will pop out but by the time the two corsairs group together (and the third ones about to pop) the drop is already underway.

your first corsair should be able to give you enough information with enough time to react. 2 bases only with no spire is an all in. if youre not getting this information quick enough then your first corsair timing is shit.

my first corsair timing might be shit. my question is, if i see what looks to be a hydra bust (but then with a fast lair) should I just get a cannon in my mineral lines?
i played against a 3 base variant of this today. i make like 4 extra cannons at my nat, hold the "hydra bust" (quotation marks because its a half assed hydra bust with a lair behind it) and then die to the lurker drop. i think the key here is to just make a cannon in my mineral lines when i see this with my corsair?

This kind of play must be 2 hath, so if you cannot scout his 3rd base with initial probe / zealot, you need to build 1-2 canons in your mineral line vs fast muta / lurker drops. 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.

@fefil eventually you will need to understand/figure out these concepts on your own if you're gonna want to improve more efficiently
Understanding these responses/concepts (etc.) and adding them to your repertoire is what creates game sense.. and it's part of the fun of playing BW. 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

@fefil At minimum, you will have enough time to get a cannon in each mineral line and position some zealots to attack the lurkers and slow them down from getting to the mineral line. If they have overlord speed, it's a bit more complicated, but you should have enough time to be prepared if you scout it. Ideally, you should try to force the lurkers to burrow prematurely to buy time to get observers.
I think the easiest response is to delay gas and produce 4 zerglings for each zealot they produce and then try to trap zealots with your lings to get good trades. I think builds like 4 hatch before gas are easier builds to execute because mining gas while producing zerglings can cripple a zerg's economy. So, this is probably the easiest response.

Seems to be a common issue! I have the same, any my workaround is to run "Battle Net" application directly and SC from there.
what determines if a unit is within range of a weapon? is it based on the pixels of the sprite or on collision boxes? or on unit sizes as described here? List of Unit and Building Sizes
What’s the mindset goal of 9pool 1 base cheeze ZvP? I saw Zelot play it against Bisu and I was impressed. Do they ever try Lurkers? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1arHzCajkSQ

thanks
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.

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.
