Battle Report :
I created an open game for a rematch with an other opponent until suddenly this LovebabyLoveme appeared. I dont know if this was exactly his name, but it is pretty much like it. He obviously challenged me and I accepted. We wished each other a good game and seconds after that, the battle begun.
I've been rushed ( some succefull others not ) quite a lot lately, so I expected the worse to happen and so it did. LovebabyLoveme went straight for the 4-pool zergling rush. Another bad thing for me was that he was lucky finding me immediatly. When the 6 zerglings came, I had just finished my first barrack and was already constructing my second. I did my usual Terran build order : 8 Supply depot, 10 or 11 Barracks, 13 Barracks. When he came I had 12 SCV's we had to give their lives if neccesairly to prevent to the zerg from an easy win. 6 zerglings are no match for 12 SCV and I only lost 5 or 6 SCV's while all his zerglings died. I made one terrible mistake after that and soon I would know it...
I should have expected him to come with more zerglings, and so I did, but I didnt expect them to come that soon ! Just 30 seconds or so after his first attack, he launched a second, again 6 zerglings ! I only had 1 marine and 9 SCV's so I could still halt this attack, however, it hit my economy hard, since I lost a couple of SCV's again. Realizing he could go on with this for a while, while I wouldnt a made my plan...
I should have done this earlier, but I constructed a bunker in my mineral line and put an Marine in it. Soon after i did that, another wave of 4 zerglings came.. they didnt do so much damage and it was now he realized it would be futile to stick to zerglings and after an other wave of 6 he didnt sent them anymore.
I thought : He must have sacrificed his economy to get those attacks on me that early. I scouted with 1 marine and found his base at the bottom left. He had no sunkens at all and just Hydra's, it seems to me he was rebuilding his economy, so I had to strike now !
I immediatly started to build my Marines and Medics, but when I had just 10 marines and 2 medics ( 4 marines in the bunker ) I saw I had been fooled ! Those 4 Hydra's had been evolved to 4 lurkers ! oops.. that sucks..
With my comsat I could kill 2 of them, but as we all know by now.. Lurkers have Marines for breakfast.. With no forces left soon I had to surrender..
Damn.. I said good game and left..
Lessons I learned :
- After you've succesfully hold off the first rush build an bunker IMMEDIATLY !
- Dont underestimate the power of 4 Hydra's :(
