Let the games begin!

 

Wanting to learn how to become better at zerg, I needed a 1on1. Guess who strolls in? No other than Soulsplitter' himself. He always says i'm no good. Hehe, ok, let's play. He says Ok, I guess I'll have to beat you. I host BH/BH and Soulsplitter' and E-minor join.

It was hosted on Dark Temple, due to soulsplitter' requesting. I want to learn zerg, so I choose them and I press "OK." At the last second, protoss is picked by soulsplitter' and we're off!

 

I start yellow @ 12:00, and he starts at 9:00 as a purple(I think) toss. Always thinking what maynard would do, I immediatly start one of his not so know b/o. Well, how ever I found this out, I don't remember, but I am going to use it. My B/O starts off like this :

8 drones, then overlord.

at 11 expand to natural,

then at 13 make a pool.

Keep on making drones till 17 and then get gas with another hatchery ( preferably at ramp).

At 20, make a hydra den and sunkens for defense.

This was how I opened. If he was goon rushing, I was preparing to kill him fast, because I made about 20 zerglings in seemingly no time, I sent them off to his base. There, they met 7 zealots on the ramp. He killed them all but he lost 3 zealots. I sent another wave about 5 seconds later and got some more, but he had some more fresh zealots come so I stopped that idea. I started a lair and another hatchery in my main base. I started speed followed by range for my hydras. I sent what-ever guys I could to his mineral natural to hold him at bay until I had the whole map. I pumped non-stop hydras from my now 5 hatcherys , and expanded to 9:00 and my mineral natural. I place about 3 sunkens at all my expansions. I get an evolution chamber and get +1 spit, while I get lurker aspect. I expand to 9:00 natural and make more hydras and more overlords.... I begin gas extraction at all my new expansions and I am getting tons!

I place about 2-3 more hatcherys at all of my expansions when I send 12 hydras to test him. These get mowed down by goons with range and 2 reavers. I make a sunken near my main peon line just incase and send 4 hydras there. Sure enough, a reaver and a dragoon come but, the attack is foiled with me losing 8 drones(ha!) and 2 hydras. I make about 30 more drones from all my hatcherys and send them to my expansions. I expand to 9:00 natural also. I get 2/2 hydras and send a HUGE wave of hydras at him, but he holds with about 4 reavers nailing me with his zlots+goons and cannons buying time for his scarabs to launch. I begin rebuilding.

I always have enough minerals to keep my now 20 hatcherys online. I know this must seem awkward, but it is true. This game wasn't like 1 hour either, maynard Honestly did show me how to macro and he's the best. I send another wave about 1 minute later , and take out the exp and 3 of the 4 reavers and all other ground troops. I make 4 more hatcherys and make more in like 5 seconds. SoulSplitter' dropping reavers at my expansions but, well 3 sunkens at all of them foil any reaver attempts. Soul starts whining about whatever and I send more waves. I finally push the ramp.

I know these pics don't correspond with the text but i'm posting them anyways ^_^. I morph them into lurkers

E-minor said he'd watch the rematch but there wasn't one because soul went offline after the match. As you can see that was almost unstoppable and I finally won.

I learn that zerg macro>soul.

Sorry for BIG pics and stuff, I had to because I don't have a image editing program yet. *sorry*.

Hope you enjoyed it. this was not to be a report to try got get a 7 or above, this was to make soulsplitter' be quiet. GG all.
