Lifetime Rating for Swynwyr: 7.0000 |  | Alright. It began as what I though was a casual ladder game. Should have been no problem. We were playing Showdown, He (Don't reacall his name.) picked protoss and I randomed and got protoss. I was at the top, he was at the bottom. I decided to go with a rather booring 2-gateway + gas build. I would pay for it.
*MISTAKE 1* I didn't scout with prode #8 like i usually do. That killed me
I got my assimilator up and layed down a gateway, pylon, 'nother gateway. By this time my 1st zealot was here, so I sent him off scouting. Now, I usually have a fairly fast build order, so I wasn't really too suprised to meet his 1st zealot when I was just outside his base.
Conclusion: He's going mad teching / minmal early defense. Response: Lay in to 'im with mad zealot
I drop another gateway, and get 4 zealots good to go and send 'em down to his base. (My 1st zealot was killed)
When I see his base, I dispatch one cannon, kill another warping-in cannon, 1 zealot and began ripping up his base.
*MISTAKE 2* I should have clueded to the fact that his base was so weak that he had another plan somewhere. As i blew up his gateway, I heard a HORRIBLE SOUND:
"Our Forces are Under Attack!"
What? He had no guys near my zealots?? Wtf??
*presses space bar*
And I see that he's got about 5 cannon set up behind my mineral line, and the leading two are blasting away at my probes.
I sacrafice my 1 zealot to kill the probe on duty @ the cannons.
I run my probes to the middle xpansion. He runs his probes up to his cannons.
PROBE WAR!!!!!!!!
I have 3 probes left. He has maybe 5 or 6. My zealots finished up his base, and come to my new base in the middle.
We both try to rebuild frantically. After 10 minutes of horribly close attacks (me winning by 1 zealots & loseing mad probes) he finally takes me out. It was a WONDERFUL game
The Moral of the story: Scout early and well. OR else |
