| In the 2nd paragraph, I meant a starting spot in top left and lower right. |

| You had the right idea man...just not quick enough. I found out the other night that a hydra drop on terran is usually a bad move with a few exceptions. If he is not going for a Tank push...it's ok. But if he is going Tank push...made your attack units...because fighting off a tank push with Zerg is rather...well...hellish. You need air support...preferbly Guardians. |

| The tank push comes way WAY before guardians, maybe even before air I haven't tested recently. Plus "Fading Realm" the map yer on is easy to tank push, really easy. |

| Actually I checked and it WAS in fact Showdown, btw. |
| #5 Flint79[890] |
|
| I've heard of people slowing down the push while teching to Guardians. |
| #6 Mind Twist[893] |
|
| it wasnt a tank push.. just a buttload of marines w/o any defense on my part. wah |

| I think its a great idea against terran to go straight lurkers. I think u can get out 1 or 2 by the time he hits with m&ms. If u go lurker rush w/o doing any damage to him with an initial rush, u'r screwed. |

Showdown is in now way a Zerg map.
It is all about cliffs and canyons, the perfect terrain to place sieged tanks on cliffs with some airdefense nearby (a turret and a bunker will do). Really a terran map if I ever saw one...
Only Protoss have a chance to compete, because of mobility and air control..
The most seen cheesy strategy on this map is a tank drop on the plateau behind the main's mineral patch. if you haven't expanded at this time, you are dead. For a protoss player this strategy is even faster, he makes a cannon build on that respective cliff, which is even faster than a cannon drop... watch out for it when you play this map next time and don't pick zerg ;-)
one more tip: when the opponent does this drop move on you, rally all your forces (if you did powerbuild, which you always should in the beginning) to his base and try to kill him before he kills you. He had to tech for his move and won't have great defense..
just my 2cc |

How about Spell Casters? You know, if you have had Dark Swarm and Consume you surely would not have been "Sucked"
P.S. You're a humble old man |

| I COMPLETELY agreed with Nobbone. On a small, ground, cliffed map like ShowDOWN, Terran rule! |
