Hunters 1v1
My oppenent will remained unnamed (he requested that) and he was white Terran and I was brown Zerg. The positions we were in are not very important so I wont mention them.
I met my oppenent in a previous 2v2 game. He was my opponent and was a total dumbass. I remarked at the beginning off the game that I had lost my previous 3 matches and wasnt feeling very confident when he said, "If u suck that much, this should be an easy victory." So 2v2 took place and they double rushed my ally but the guy's ally got dropped and it became a 1v1 grudge match. And thus began my great come back.
I expanded to my natural expanse and to another resource spot, where my ally had been, when the tank push began. I had 15 or so Hydras and he had 10 marines and several tanks and meds. If I hadnt sent my 4 lurks to drop on his base, I might of survived, but luck wasnt with me. His tank push cleared out my expanse but I managed to kill all 3 tanks that he was using. I then, rather than sending a continuous stream of units at his army parked out side my base, built up 15 hydras in my main base and 10 lurks in my expanse.
Mean while, my 4 lurks were being assualted by comsat and tanks, hehe, and thats where the enemy made his mistake. He used all his comsat to kill my 4 lurks that were spread about and had no energy left to comsat again.
He also made the unfortunate error of not continuing his tank push as soon as he got another tank, and just sat there waiting for more and more marines to pour in, allowing me time to tech. I upgrade burrow and loaded my 10 lurks into overlords right as a dozen marines and meds tore through my last expanse. He had 2 expanses plus his main, I only had my main.
I burrowed my now 30 hydras right where I anticipated his tanks to go, and sure enough, his army moved in and set up into siege mode. I dropped my 10 lurks behind his army, out of sight, and burrowed them to stop any reinforcements, or in this case, retreating soldiers.
As the tanks began to fire, my hydras popped up. Immediatly seeing a serious threat and wanting to minimize his losses and get reinfocements from the team that killed my expanse, he pulled his marines out. Not one marine, medic, firebat, vulture, or tank made it out of the bottleneck alive.
He was now on the defensive, and my hydras swarmed one expanse as the lurks attacked another. The tables were turning and as I set a lurk down in different locations throughout his main base, minimizing the strengh of comsat. He surrendered when my hydras began to pound his bunkers.
A great victory for Zerg and a great comeback. The guy left with a series of vulgar remarks. GG i said as he left the game.
