Lifetime Rating for Flint79: 6.3714 |  | Pre-Game: Well...after making the decision last night to put my Zerg on back burner and going back to Terran after reading .Praetors report, I was pumped to kick some ass.
Map: Challenger
Me: Terran (Bottom)
Yoda_123: Toss (Top)
Early game: I went with a 8 rax, 9 depot, 10 rax and started pumping marines like mad, while getting early gas. I bunkered in as I know that zealots are tough sons of bitches in early game if he has enough. I thought...what would Johnny_Vegas do? From reading his reports...I quickly said to myself "Mines!!!". My comstat was up now and I working on two Factories. I scanned him and saw that he was bit slow...he had few Zeals but nothing special. I mined him in (I never did need the mines but It took a lot off my mind knowing that an early zeal rush would be highly damaged before reaching my base.
Mid Game: I scanned again...to see that he had about 2 gates..was working on a forge and had a lot of probes goin this time with cannons scattered about. When I scanned him the first time...he said "No". I said, "No what?". I think he was muttering to himself that he was behind in the build up race. Well....I decided to dispatch my army. 10 marines and two meds walked along with 3 tanks and they broke out into a tune. "The Marines go marching one by one...Hurrah, Hurrah...we slaughter Zeals just for fun...Hurrah!...Hurrah! "
Late Game: I set up the 3 tanks, put my marines on hold position around and the bombing begins. He runs at me with everything (about 7 or 8 Zeals). He took out two of the tanks (His only 2 kills of the game) and now his main army was defeated. I was'nt watching the battle the whole time...I kept making tanks and marines at my base. Soon 4 more tanks and a handfull of marines joined the force. I comstated again just to see what was beyond my tank sight to see not much...except probes working while bombing tank shells blew up the buildings they worked so hard to warp in. After the last cannon was gone I simply moved my Marines up and took out his gateways...that were slowly warping in Zeals. He sent the Zeals at me one at a time....but the Gauss guns of my Marines killed them quickly. I eventually eliminated him and he never said a word. I then took the Toss comander prisoner where upon he will spend the rest of his days in a stinky refinery being whipped every minute on the minute.
Post Comments: I know this is very basic strat and you nohunters people have done it a thousand times, but it was a big step for me. I really hated micro like that as I prefered to kill em all and let God sort em out...but now I really enjoy it...I've won a few epic battles with my Zerg, but now it is time to begin anew. I was going to offensive bunker him in...but there was no point. And I still have a whole bunch of strat that I'm itching to try out. And I just remembered I forgot pics...ahhhhh. There go some rating ponts :( . |
