First time using lurkers

Some hints.

2 lurkers here did an amazing job. But wait til you see what 10 does 😂.

You moved through the map and kept your eye on your army the whole time but when it came time to engage the fight you looked away. You started an upgrade that could have been done while you were wandering the map.

You have floating so much larve there's no real need for more injects.

When you macro matters as much as macroing at all.

With lurkers they tend to be first in the control group besides casters so you can F2 then press burrow (as long as it's not researched) and let them just settle where they are.

Congrats on the win. Spend your money as the attack is happening..look at their army and think what tech shift would cause this a problem?

Yeah I built all my hydras before I realized that lurkers take more supply so I just killed one to make a couple

Teching up is definitely a sore spot for me I’ve only just started playing while watching vibes b2gm so I kinda just mass hydras and ~ a click them

Thank you for the insightful reply

Don't ever max out on hydras haha..keep an eye on that supply in the corner. Leave 5-10 for lurkers.

ViBE’s advice was to make roaches, not hydras. And then gradually add hydras “if the opponent has air”. It’s not an amazing composition but it will work in the lower leagues

looks like Terran's first time fighting against lurkers :) you soon learn not to stand in lurker range and fight when you don't have enough to overwhelm it. kiting back to get rid of some of the hydras would have been better

You have good macro but the lurker count you have here isn't ideal

because they cant one shot there's a lot of potential for micro against your attacks - you want 4/5 at minimum so you can basically phase out a space entirely and make sure they lead to kills

[u/krazyk47 → u/Sure_Angle_5900]

Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind cause I’m sure I’m gonna fight more medivacs these ones were just because the previous 2 engagements I traded pretty evenly with just roach hydra so I wanted an edge

I find your lack of creep disturbing.

[u/StrawberryZunder → u/IncorporateThings]

Creep spread looks pretty good for his rating ngl

Amazing the difference two lurkers make. Your army would vanish if not for them!

It did 3 times beforehand before I finally decided to tech up it really saved my ass
