Lifetime Rating for GhOsT~lizard: 5.4493 |   | Well I was in NH talking trash about lurker rushing and so M@sta[TLK] challenged me to beat his lurker rush. I agreed and off we went.
VITAL INFORMATION:
Map:LostTemple
Me:Ghost~lizard(terran) 3o'clock
LurkerBoy:M@sta[TLK](zerg) 6o'clock
BATTLE COMMENCES:
Well knowing that its a beat that lurker challenge I went with a weird build, I went depot, rax, rax,depot, acad, refinery and ebay. He ling rushed me I lost 2 SCVs but killed the little bastards off with the 3 marines I had.
THE 6 PACK:
Knowing about lurkers taking a long time to burrow I decided to camp out at his choke with 6 rines, I'm sure I can get at least 1 lurker on the way to my base. Once I come to his ramp I'm greeted by 4 hydras, I kill 1 but my marines die then because of the hight ground hydra advantage.
WOOHOO I GOT ONE:
I procede to send 8 more marines down to his base, I intercept 3 lurkers, I smoke 1 and badly damage another and then my mariens bite the dust. Lurkers try to climb the ramp but I got a bunker full of ranged rines and a turret IN FRONT of the bunker which is key I get the damaged one before it burrows and the other one gets detected and raped.
WEEEE 2 MORE:
Two more lurkers try to get past my choke but this time I got 2 bunks of ranged rines down there, I kill 1 as it tries to run pas the bunker and the 2nd one gets badly damaged and then eliminated by rines. At that point he see that I beat his rush and quits, he told me he messed up and that I should play Schizo or Thorn to feel the true power of the rush the killed heartcutter 3 times.
LESSONS LEARNED:
-Lurkers are fun to kill.
-Lurker rushing don't work if the terran knows its coming.
-Terran power!
3RD BR TODAY ENJOY!
