This game took place at school, and I was not on BNET but LAN. After thoroughly pimping everyone in Q2 with my chaingun skillz (cutz down railers in about half a second hehe) Some underclassmen utters something about Starcraft. He claims he will own me with his protoss and assumes I am just a BGHer with no skill at all. He talks more smack and since I know ima baller I wouldn't talk much as I usually do. I say Lost Temple and he says yea, it's his favorite map....Ok not a BGH'er possible decent ladder player here.
The Map - Lost Temple
@}~MaKiTa~ Terran selected (6)
YouSuck (non-bnet name) Protoss selected (12)
I started off with 8 Depot 10 rax as usual, sending the worker finishing the depot to scout. When I got there he looked to have the standard protoss buildings, going with a pylon gate pylon gate as it appeared to me. I put down my second rax and 2 more depots, and gas while constantly training SCV's, I kept my scout at the bottom of his ramp and then started a bunker at the top of mine, and still didn't have a marine yet. What was I thinking??
That he still sucked that's what. I finally got around to making 4 marines and filled my bunker with it, and a probe left out on a scouting mission. I kept the SCV there he just ran past and got cut down when he ran into my bunker. Then I started on 2 factories and an academy, I had all this money because I didn't train many marines. Sent my SCV back in to scout. 3 Gates a forge and a cybercore, gas just morphing in, and twice as many zealots as I had marines. Shit!!!
I started 1 machine shop instead of 2 so that I could get a vulture ASAP, and get mines. If he attacked now I was dead. Since people were in the room looking his friends cheated for him or something and were getting all excited like ooh ooh ooh so he comes and attacks......Grrrr8
Mines just finish I lay 3 down at my expansion, the 2 firebats I trained popped so I sub in 1 in the bunker and put the other at the top. Add another bunker too, this would get ugly. The zealots came and 3 died to mines, the rest to concentrated marine fire and splash damage hitting all the nice zeallys lined up trying to come in.
Then everyone gets all oohy oohy and stuff again, and I wanna make it interesting so I type "No sir, plz try again". He gets all mad and stuff then types "Couple more mins and you're toast".
Wow he has tek now, I don't know what but i'll find out. Satellite tells me a reaver drop is coming from seeing 2 Robos and a support bay coming in. I have added a starport and armory too, along with another barracks. Since I know he's dropping i'll throw up some turrets and tank up my SCV line by blocking off, but I dont have an eng bay so I start one and a Sci Facil and move all 4 of my tanks to the SCV line and then start 1 bunker and 2 turrets. I haven't trained any marines or bats since the first fight because I was concentrating on more metal now. I would make flesh when I got up to ghost level.
Exactly what I knew was coming did, but it was more than I expected. I expected 2 shuttles with 2 reavers and the other with zealots or drags. What I got instead was 4 reavers.
Ok this guy is getting a little out of hand, I thought I could easily whoop him like everyone else in school but he's giving me a hard time, looks like I'll have to give him his room key and take his bags, because he was checking into the smackdown hotel.
Soon as they land they bust up my poor bunker, but I run the marines to safety. The turrets finished off 1 of the shuttles so he could only lift 2 now. 2 reavers immediately died so now he has 2 reavers and a shuttle floating around. Good thing they slowed down the reaver popping and lagging times or I was in serious shit. He lands a bit out of range of the turret and kills that so his shuttle can fly around a little safer. You can have it it was broke anyways. I charge my marines in after the injured shuttle and tear it down, but he has loaded one of the reavers back into it in like a split second so I get a lucky reaver kill!!!! YAY!!!!! But about 5 marines go up in a scarab. Just what I needed. Other reaver gets hammered by tank fire and goes down. I actually took time out of this battle to type the message, "No sir plz try again" and everyones all oohy oohy and stuff, again.
But he shows he's a good player and was not sitting idle, he expanded twice, once to his natural and once to the island. I scanned and saw both after the fight to see how he was doing. Also he had 2 Stars with 2 corsairs and about 12-15 drags at this point. God, he's building faster than me and outresourcing me, and as far as I know you don't win very many games like that. But I have something he doesn't, unit control. He coulda won by dropping right in my peon line but he must have lacked the testicular fortitude.
I build 2 command centers, one at my natural and one slightly below to float, start a bunker and 2 turrets, and pump ghosts and tanks. Put up another of each production facility and get some ships to take his natural. By the time I got all this up, he expanded to 3, and it's natural. GOD!!! He has 5 bases and I have 2. But 3 and the natural were not running, the 12 natural, and the island were about fully up. I work on nukes at both my expansions and get my shitload of ghosts and tanks near the middle. I got about 3~4 Sci's too with EMP and Irradiate. Scan his main - shitload of dragoons at 2/2/2 with about 8 corsairs now.
I don't really know what to do at this point, the crowd seems to be in his corner thinking he can end it right here, with his big ass drag and corsair army, so he typed in "You're really f**kin toast this time bitch". I gotta pull off a nuke, fast too. I pull out my book of tricks, I'm gonna need it.
Chapter 1 - Zerg tricks. Nope don't need this one
Chapter 2 - Protoss tricks. Not this one either
Chapter 3 - Terran tricks. I think I'll try the next one.
Chapter 4 - Cloning tricks with spellcasters =o)
I flip to Chapter 4 and start reading:
"In case of emergency, you may use cloning tricks using the shift button to deselect units enabling you to seemingly cast 12 spells simultaneously upon enemy units, highly effective spells are broodling, emp shockwave, and LOCKDOWN"
After reading I then pull a move that I wish I took pictures of, because I don't think I've pulled a better one before. I move 12 ghosts and hotkey them, cloaked and ready for action. He has all his drags bunched up at the top of his ramp, I send 2 Dmatrixed shuttles in as food to see the top and then clone lockdown 12 drags that were all chillin at the top of the ramp. AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!! Yippe I just pulled a pimp move out of my ass, and bring up my tanks and siege, his dumb ass tries to attack move the unlocked-down drags down the ramp and ends up getting them nuked along with the locked down ones. I also think I caught some corsairs in there too. Since I have another nuke I pop his expansion, and EMP+Nuke kills everything of toss, just everything.
The rest is just clean up, he doesn't surrender after I take out his main so I have 3 bases left to clean off, I tank the cliff over the 3 natural, drop ghosts and tanks on the island, and nuke the 3 main with the next pair of nukes that finish. I have claimed the crown as the champion of my school. Anyone who wants some can pick up the room key and I'll even take the bags up for you, because you are going to have a long stay at the Smackdown Hotel.
Lessons of the Day
1. Buy my book, it has all the tips and tricks of victory!!!
2. Don't underestimate someone, play your best all the time, I almost went down to protoss of all the sucky non-terran races, they sux.
3. Cloning lockdown pimps lots of protoss units, especially if you can cloak and get in close. Having nukes ready only adds to insult.
4. Buy my book, pick up your room key and have a nice night =o)
sorry for the no pix again, i was at school not home, goin to Maryland college park in the fall yay!!! im slowly but surely learning paint shop pro and html stuff, i got a shareware version of PSP yay!! hopefully can get those tight pix in like my role model, YourRoleModel.
