Unfortunately, I was so busy chuckling to myself about how I had cleverly hidden my Zerglings and would attack when your marines left, I forgot to research lurker aspect. :p
I hope you are posting up a game 2! |

| I found that you don't really need tanx to stop the lurker rush, 2 bunkers with a turret IN FRONT of them and ranged rines work great but to break containment u do need tanx so I guess its kinda of a good idea to get early tanx, I'm not making sense am I?:) |

Let's look at it this way...
Marines in bunkers (fully upgraded) range of 6.
Lurkers, range of 6.
Place a turret in front of a bunker? okay, I'll simply burrow a bit further away and hit the turret without your marines hitting me=) Then move in when you lack detection, and wham bam=)

| If u wanna be on the safe side make one behind bunker as well, its only 100min. I'd rather have a turret that would save me a lot of pain in the @$$ then 2 marines which would die a painful death:) |

| its a nice br, but 1999, geee, u r cocky... |

You don't know Schizo at all then, do you BURP?
I think Schiz's motto in life is "You're jealous because I'm better than you." |

omg, I *hate people that do this.
One of my friends on Battle.Net beat this other guy in a FFA and the other guy wouldn't accept the fact that my bud had beaten him. he used lame excuses about how "He'd never played the sh!tty map before in his life and couldn't find the expansions."
So you're thinking, "Well, it was an FFA, anyone can beat anyone else in those!" Ok, I agree. Then my friend beat the guy in a 1x1 on Temple, and the guy still was making up excuses, and he had to dig for them too. "It was late, I was so tired I fell asleep during the game about 5 times." wtf? Who actually falls asleep during a game?
Anyways, the point of all this relates to Schizo's statement: "Unfortunately, I was so busy chuckling to myself about how I had cleverly hidden my Zerglings and would attack when your marines left, I forgot to research lurker aspect. :p " omfg, what a lame excuse!
If there's one thing I don't respect in this world, it's arrogant bastards who won't admit anything.
To Schizo: Own up that he beat you and admit your Lurker Rush isn't perfect and ask for a rematch. Don't make excuses telling him how it was a fluke.

| Nice game. I'm still not tloo satisfied with the six-pack because one game doesn't make a difference. I'd rather play it safe and just bunker/turret up counter then get tanks. If a lurker rush fails for zerg then the zerg will most likely go mass mutas and if that fails guardians are the next step. I've died to lurker rush and lurker/hydra drop twice as terran. I feel that those whiners of terran aren't even learning lessons. They just think cause they lost they have to whine when they never even look back at their mistakes. Nice job though. I just wish I could try it on the comp but the comp won't do an early lurker rush. Instead they'll just do that mass hydra and lurker rush and your tanks can kill the forces fast. I think my problem is that I don't usually have a factory with a machine shop yet when the lurkers come. My weakness as terran is not enough miners and marines. One game I never got tanks and had to rely on gols and svs to save me from guards. GJ though. |

Well, Skull, tanks wouldn't of helped against Guardians anyways=)
Zorn: they did rematch, Schizo owned=( I'm not saying this was a "fluke", but the Lurker rush **IS** one of the hardest strats to counter. Give him some credit.... maybe not as much as he wants though=P

Cocky? I wasn't too cocky. What did I say that was cocky? Maybe the part where the marines turned into lawn mowers, but I needed to add a little humor.
Confident? Very. I was just getting sick of people telling me that the early academy didn't work. Its just a way of thought. START THINKING TERRANS!!!! |

| 1999 is DA MAN and lurker rush is ez to counter, I'm sure I can stop it 9 of 10 times the part that comes AFTER the rush is the pain in the ass one. Worst case scenario: i beat the rush, I try to get out of my base, but he got lurkers burrowed all over the place, I have to tech to SVs to go anywhere or do the turret hopping thing which is expensive and slow. Now while I'm confined to my base and gimme he techs to guard/muta/dev combo and rapes me. Its hard to counter because A) you need a wide variety of units to counter that and those units take gas lets see, SVs for them all, M&Ms for mutas and devs, gollies for guards. Now if he brings scourge along I might be in some deep $hit since my most effective unit, SV is now nullified and he can overwhelm me with pure numbers since SV is the mass killer that's been factored out of the equation. In short rush is ez, the afterwards part is hard. Good job though 99, u da man! |

| Umm, that would take a LOT of gas, Ghost.. |

| mmmmmmm, lurker rush, an interesting possibility against terr to use 8) But i think ill stick to my usual strats, im sux at microing using zerg 8( |

| That 6 pack seems ok, but I'd rather do the wallin, fast tank strat. I played this 1100+ player that was bragging about the lurker rush. He sent in 5 lurkers which was a little too slow I though, but anyway I had 2 tanks barely in siege at my wallin. All five of his lurkers died at my ramp as they tried to run past my wallin but couldn't. Hahha. Anyway I thought I was going to win, until he sent the 60-80 cracklings into my town later on. Arg... My recon was terrible as was pointed out to me when I saw my comsat had 200 energy in it! 200!! Noooo!!! Cardinal sin. Good job 1999. That's a cool win. |

| hehe I saw that game, playing slurgie tonite. Gonna kicks some butt, btw walling in sux:( its just not my style:( gg JV |
