Guess what guys,

I'm getting pissed off of being lurker dropped all the time!

Kinda funny isn't it, when I was Z, I lurker dropped 80% of my games. Now I get owned by them all the time.
I usually do have a few cannons in my base, but they get wiped out by the combination of hydras and lurkers too fast. I don't want to spend all my money on cannons in my main either. What to do? Stick goons in your main most of the time?

If you fear lurk drop, keep 1 obs, 1 archon and 1 HT along with the cannons. When you see the drop coming (depending on its size, but if it's a huuuuuge drop, then you're giving them too much time to prepare the drop) move all your probes to your nat, attack with archon, storm with HT and get some more units there asap. Keep obs out of range so it doesn't get killed, cause you'll need it when the cannons die.

That's my 2 cents anyway.

Ha, I remember your replays, back when you were Z, there were always lurker drops.

Storm+goons+obs FTW!

They usually drop BEFORE I reach archive + observatory.

It's so ironic it hurts. But still, it worked, right?

No way, you probably have your BO wrong. How can they possibly research transportation before you get observatory?

Maybe your not pressuring him enough early game?

keep 1-2 HT near your nexus. if he lurk drops immediately move some units, not all to protect. also wait a sec for the overlord to start unloading. immediately when they stop to unload, storm their position while cannons are shooting them. Then storm 2 more times if needed to strategic positions. And before they can do much, your units are helpin
