HilbsTheZealot: Red toss, 3 oclock
Mekilla: Orange Zerg, 9 oclock
The game is under way, it is random vs random, and we both say our gl hf's, but now it is time to tear my opponents heart out.
I start of with 8 pylon, 10 gate, 12 pylon, 13 gate, probes and zeals. I rallied my forces to where i found him at 9 with my probe making my first pylon i had about 7 zeals at his front door by his mineral only and i decide to git gas and a forge for +1 weapons asap, and soon after my gas is done i erect a cyber core, and my first goon shimmers and kills an overlord who couldn'tmake it over my ledge in time
At about this time he had started with a two hatch to his ramp, and had added hatches 3 and 4 at his natural expansion, i had 12 zeals and 4 goons with +1 weapons and zealots with legs, he attacks with hydras and lings and he gits owned and i copntinue to hold positon out side his base
he trys to get sneaky on me and send a group of lings behind one of the walls on templke trying to go kill probes, but 2 zeals and a newly warped cannon are the end of that. I take this opportunity to to expand to my natural, and go for my termp archives while getting +1 armor, , my expansion finishes and i transfer 12 probes and pump more probes and add 3 more gateways, psi storm is done and i get 5 stormer as well ass goons and zeals and begin to go for reavers
I scout 6 oclock with a zealotand it gets owned, there is no ovie there and i send 3 dts down to have a little fun, and ashe told me after the game he also took the lower right isle, but it turned ouit not to matter, i scouted top right isle witrh shuttle and popped some obs for some lurkers i had been storming away ati now has 3/2/1 goons zeals and 3 reavers and 7 temps, he tries to drop my main and i just run back with a group of zeal and a shuttle with a reaver and 2 temps and that is that.
Now he decided to be sneaky and drops on my expo peons line and i run back and kill it, but he kills my nexus in the process. I take this opportunty to expand to the natural at 12 and get it under way with alol the probes iu had saved, and i also take my mi9neral only, and go to check 6 again, to find nadda yay, go me!!
i finally siege his main which i have been containing , he has phas prpobably sent at least 200 hydras at me, and i go in and meet 5 sunks and 35 or so hydras, but they are no match for my 3/3/2 infantry and 9 temps + 4 reavers, in 6 flashes of lighting everything is gone,a nd my zeals and goons ravage his base, my reavers proceed to go gimp the bottom left isle which i had just observed with ma observer!
he says gg, and so do i, he did a rly good job.
Lessons Learned:
1) Toss can contain zerg in some form
2) scout scout scout and scout some more
3) when u get dropped go back and defend it, the most important thing is resourses
4) Hilbs is godly
5) temps and reavs together = wild ride for zerg
thanx all this is my first report sorry about the lack of pics but hey i was playing and stuff:(
