Lifetime Rating for Reaper=Death: 3.0000 |  | [Authers Note]*Please exscuse any spelling/grammer all i can say is mine sucks. Also this is my first br blah blah blah blah blah. On to the report*
MAP:Dark Temple
Reaper=Death: Terren(as usual) 9 oclock
*forgot name=]* Zerg 12 oclock (randomed)
I did my normal build vs random sending 8th scv out to scout the enemy. I used my 9th scv to make a suply depot at my choke point with my 10th scv to make a barracks. My 8th scv found the zerg at 12 oclock. I moved my scv out to his natral to check for early exspand. After a minet i moved him back up to see a hatchery starting at his choke point and a very late spawning pool. I could have rushed and killed him easy but i dont really like short games and descided to early exspand. I sent 3 scv's down to my natral opening and made 3 depots in a diagnal position and flew my barracks down to close the choke so a zergling could not even get in.
I started my command center and made a factory 2nd barracks and acadamy (all while pumping scv's). I had hid my scv in the back of the enemy base, so i sent him in to get another quick peek. Before beaing blown away by a sunken the scv braught back needed information of a lair and a hydralisk den.A engenearing bay was quickly constructed and a bunker/turet was put up at the front line defences. I scanned his choke and noticed a second layer. Oh shit a drop. I threw a bunker/turet up next to my workers and now i had seige tank cover. My starport was complete and i produced a wraith for scouting perposes.Now i looked at my raescorces and noticed i was WAY above what i should be. I threw up 2 more suply depoes and 3 more baracks. My scouting wraith killed 2 overloards and found an exspansion in the lower right island. By now i had 2 vessals and a mass hydra drop came as exspected. I lost the bunker and 3 tanks the marine guts where spilled and the last of the hydras where guts sinking in to the ground. my barracks where completed and i was able to pump infantry out non stop. my shot was 2 and my armor was 1. When i got to be 3/3 i was going to attack. I produced non stop from 5 barracks and a factory, also a starport pumping vessals. I sent a marine out to scout and realised i had been lurkered in. The exspansion i discovered in the island now had a dropship filled with 7 marines and 1 medic on its way.No defence beaing there it quickly fell with no reasistance. At about this time mass hydra/ling came nocking at my wall off 4 more tanks where seiged on my ledge and my marines had hit 3/3. Before i rid of that force a ton of overlaords entered my base and unloaded a huge shitload of hydras. wich where 2/2 They where rid of rather fast by my seige tank placement and the threat was gone. Realising this had been a rather 1 sided battle i took all my troops de-seiged my tanks and gathered all my vessals. I irradiated the lerkers blocking me in lifted my barracks and Now it was my turn.I moved about 100 infantry and 6 tanks with 6 vessals over to his base. irradiates went off on the hydras at the entrence and the tanks where seiged. Thinking this would be easy i started to get poor on my troops management when all the suden hydras came from the exspansion, lings ran down the ramp and overloards unloaded hydras on my tanks lost all my tanks but my vessals got off there irradaites and the marines where stimmed, The marines charged up the ramp meeting heavy reasistence from sunkens and hydras/lings By the time my infantry was gone the reinforcements had arrived. More tanks where seiged up and the marines where ounce again stimmed. I looked at the ground where my troops ounce stood and there was a solid layer of guts sinking. More reienforcments arived and his main 130 infantry later was mine.The Game was mine i could feel it then i heard "your forces are under attack" i looked at my main base and saw my bunker under heavy mutalisk fire. 5 scv's reapairing it giving enouph time for troops to arive. 2 minets later heavy guardian attack came and i was unpreapared. I found 2 more exspansions (my wraith died and i forgot to scout=[) as his exspansions where dying my vessals arrived home and went on to irradiate 3/4ths of the guardians wich where finished off by my m&M's (marines and medics). I scanned the top left and there was an exspansion with NOTHING at it. That was finished with no problem and the exspansion on the bottom right was also his. Where his greater spire was.Before i could get troops there i asked him if he was going to make me kill that and he said no. ggames where said and the match was over.
My lessons learned:
1.Keep good scouting.
2.Never get above 1000 mins, you arent doing everything you can be doing if you do.
3.Dont charge a choke point with marines wait for tanks and suport them proporley dont get lazy and have poor troop managment.
His lessons learned:
1.Hydras are good but they have there limits. guardians earlier might have killed me.
2.Get burrow so when irradiates go off you can burrow the irradiated unit.
3. suport a hydra drop with lerkers.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this, please give more feed-back Next report will have colors, and screen pics. I would not have taken the time to write this if i was not so bored. Next one will actually be worth reading.
