Lifetime Rating for pkt:7Schizo.xls: 5.3333 |   | After an embarrasing loss to -=1999=- where I forgot to upgrade Lurker aspect, we were set for game 2 of our 3 game series.
Map: The Lost Temple
pkt:7Schizo.xls - Zerg (south)
-=1999=- - Terran (north)
I started out with my standard Lurker Rush build order. I sent my 6 zerglings to his base and knew he would be blocking up the ramp. Well, as in the previous game, I left one to scout in case he decided to rush and hid the other 5. I planned to run in should his marines leave. This time, I did research lurker!
-=1999=- was prepared for an assault. Leaving his base he mowed down my 1 scout zergling. Assuming he had headed towards my base, I sent my 5 zerglings into his...to meet the marines and medic that he had ran back to his base. Apparently, he figured out that was what my scout was there for. No matter, however, I had lurkers morphing on my ramp. They raced into his base and into his peon line. -=1999=- managed to get a tank and scan into place in order to kill my lurkers.
This time, instead of going spire, I expanded and started massing hydras. I also researched drop and speed upgrade for my overlords. My lurkers in his peon line had taken a toll, for he must have been low on resources. I sent a premptive overlord to the left side of his base to pick up lurkers and dump them as soon as transport was done. Meanwhile, I had lurkers containing him in his front door. Transport was completed and I quickly dropped my lurkers next to his peon line. I wiped out almost all of them. I killed his marines, too. Eventually, he killed those lurkers. He surrendered, though as I was sending a mass of hydras up his ramp.
We now have a newfound respect of each others skill. After talking it over, we decided not to do game 3 as we both had seen enough of this.
