Starcraft: Lurker Trap Tutorial (3 ways to hold position with lurkers)

[kekkeky]

I would recomend targeting a mineral field under the fog of war.

Second way is good, but lurkers will randomly attack for some unknown reason.

[swinetastic]

Poor choice of song.

[royaldoofus]

boxer's marines can dodge them

[XXRolando2008]

Buen tutorial ;)

[superjew1000]

very neat now it seemss slightly more practicale to do this o fearing ever damn scv runing over my lurkers and my traps gone

[bonchbonch]

Shit song.

[Gerbilkit]

wtf? why this song?

[codonbyte]

Actually, I think that the third method is the best. I tested both methods out, and I found that while the second method is pretty good, it was somewhat unreliable. Every once and a while, a sleeping lurker would briefly "wake up" and attack once or twice before going back to sleep, and I was unable to figure out what caused these misfires.

The third method is very predictable. The lurkers will remain asleep as long as you don't have vision of the building they were ordered to attack.

i like that u fixed up the 'strat' typo.

@MangBang08

Oh, well... english isn't my native language. >.>

I'll fix those one of these days. thanks. 

[drag0nwind]

damn, sweet tutorial! very effective, especially against marines.

[medicdr0idl]

why dont yo ujust press hold position and stop spamming stop like an idiot

[WOWismygameYEAH]

@medicdr0idl if you mean when only selecting the lurks, there IS only the stop and attack buttons. the whole reason for the overlord is so you have all the regular buttons, including hold position.

[NoMad9661]

i don't get the 2end and 3 one is just the like frist one he did

[koktelici]

@NoMad9661

actually first one is useless because you have to constantly click Stop button (or S)

and do nothing else.

[hopecute777]

The song is called "Stand in the Rain" by Superchick.

[Fuice1]

The second one is best... very usefull, didnt know this.

[LyridsLyra]

i agree with you

"Fuice1" second one is the best. i thought you could only use. "s,s,s,s,s" for stop. because I can see this with Jaedong and other korean players doing this trap. i didn't know this too. this is very useful. thanks for senekis93 for this vid. i enriched one of my vocabulary in starcraft. lol. :)

[covermewithaleaf33]

how do you counter lurker with terran? lurkers in one of the main reason i always lose to zerg players

[senekis93]

It depends on the strategy.

2 hatch lurkers, hatch muta into lurkers, etc...

You'll usually want to have a couple of turrets at your natural's choke point and 1 or 2 bunkers with a couple of marines. That's enough to keep the lurkers camping outside from your base.

Zergs will usually use this opportunity to get expansions and hive tech. Get comsats and get your vessel and siege tech as fast as possible.

[senekis93]

Then just push with a lot of marines/meds, a couple of tanks and as much vessels as you can afford. Go straight for their natural/main and send small m&m groups to destroy the weak/new expansions while taking your own.

[T2Dtruegamer]

alot of ways to counter...siege tanks before they have time to burrow, split your marines up and scan sotht way theycan only kill 1 marine at atime...or irradiate

[arpadkecskes]

@covermewithaleaf33 counter lurkers with Tanks and Vessels. And if your micro is good, then M&M :D

[PayasoX187]

How do you select another group of units while still having your first selected units highlighted?

[ItwabyI]

@PayasoX187

hold shift and click or highlight

[ArckanDrakonis1]

A s is called the music?

como se llama la musica?

[InnocentLittleBoy]

whats the song called?

[senekis93]

Check the tags. The ones after "gosu" are the artist and song, except for the "senekis93" tag, that's me.

[SeaTownTrouT]

how do you kill them? they always drop in my base id kwhat to do

[senekis93]

The lurkers?

You need detection. If you don't have detectors (turrets/ svs/ p cannons/ obs/ spores/ ovies) you will need to use splash to kill them by attacking one of your own units standing next to the lurker with an archon, siege tank or other similar unit.

[exactlythatsthepoint]

Perfect song for Lurkers.

[a0ikaze]

great tutorial! thanks alot!

[ColdbloodedJuggalo]

[senekis93]

It's a map called Shadow Cannon that I made to play ZvZ with a friend.

[brainwasher9876]

[AvatarOfGames]

devastating

[marijusstuokus]

[senekis93]

Lurkers are a expansion-only unit.

[TerranReaper4]

[Armorgeton]
