The game begins, and Da_Saint is spotted at the 3 o'clock startposition, controlling the technical Terrans, this time dressed in brown, new, soft, sweet, etc,etc army-jackets.
Mezcalito found himself and 4 probes + a Nexus at the 9 o'clock position (first time ever the Protoss isn't called noble or honourable i think...doh..)
Both players are gathering minerals with a furious speed, and the big, clumsy SCVs seems to be as efficent as the quick little robot-slaves on the other side of the map, since Da_Saint's Supply Depot is being built almost the same time as Mezcalito's first Pylon.
Both players seems to "climb up the technical tree" pretty fast. Da_Saint build his refinery as a third building, after a Supply Depot and one Barrack. Mezcalito is going quick on gas too, warping in his assimilator as the 4th building, after 2 Pylons and one Gateway.
When Mezcalito's scouting job is done, he discovers that Da_Saint is controlling the Terrans (really?) and decides that a pair of Zealots would be enough to guard the ramp leading into his own main-camp, so he places them there, and then starts to warp in a Cybernetics Core...
Da_Saint is meanwhile constructing two Factorys, leaving only a bunker as defence for the (now it comes) NOBLE Protoss forces.
When Mezcalito's Cybernetics Core finally has been warped in, Mezcalito choses to warp in a pair of Dragoons, then the ligth of a unborn (unwarped?) Robotics Facility appears in Mezcalito's Main camp.
The 2 reborned Dragoons get orders from Mezcalito to move towards the ramp were the Zealots are placed, and, of course, that's excactly what they are doing...Mezcalito Then orders his 2 Zealots and 2 Dragoons to attack his opponent.
Meanwhile the..hmm..noble..Protoss warriors are walking through the temple-landscape, Da_Saint had just reinforced himself with 2 Dr.Bombay-cycles a.k.a Vultures, and had just began to construct a Starport...
Mezcalito's Forces were now collected just outside Da_Saint's base, waiting for an attack-order, and recieve it. They were heading for the ramp, only to see a bunker, and they immediatly returned home with the tail between their legs (Swedish Expression). Looking to the fact that 2 Vultures was the only backup Da_Saint had, i think that Mezcalito did wrong by returning is troops back to home again.
With his Robotics Facility finished, Mezcalito warps in an Observatory, still he's producing, mainly Dragoons but a few Zealots as well, from his now 2 Gateways.
As soon as Mezcalito's Observatory finishes, he produce a...guess what...Observer, then another, and then another. This will give him a great advantage later in game...
Da_Saint, on the other hand, is producing Dr.Bombay's and Siege Tank's from his 2 Factorys....As soon as his Starport is finished, he adds a controll tower.
A Screenshot on each players armies this far;
And in this moment of the game, Mezcalito expands to his natural expansion
The first battle is going to take place at the holy templeground, right in the middle of the map.
Da_Saint decides to move towards Mezcalito's base with 4 Vultures and 4 Siege Tanks, Mezcalito watching Da_Saint's offensive plans, decides to send his army (7 Dragoons, 2 Zealots) to face the Terrans at the holy templeground.
One of Da_Saint's Vultures meet the Protoss army first, and the Terran commander immediatly ordered the tanks to Siege. The Siege-cannons is appear from the tank, same time as Da_Saint's Vultures is holding the Zealots and Dragoons away from the tanks...and BOOOOOM...The four tanks splashes roght into the Protoss army, taking out one of the Zealots and his PSI-Blades
is no longer a threat for the clumsy tanks...BOOOOOM...the sound of four terrible Haubits is crossing the valley and are throwed back in shape of an echo by the mountains. The Dragoons cried out there pain due to the fact that there Plasma-Shields were removed by the last shot, and a few of them falled livelessly to the ground, turned into a blue mess that soon would sink into the ground and rotten...
While the Tanks reloading, the last Zealot manages to get into a Tank and start chewing on it with his PSI-Blades, BOOOM...the sound from the haubits once again appears, as a couple of Dragoons falled down to the ground...just as dead as the last Zealot after the Fragdmetion Grenades from the 4 remaining Vultures has hitted him.
At this moment, four Dragoons were the only forces Mezcalito had left in the middle of the map, fighting 4 Vultures and 2 Tanks controlled by Da_Saint. As the Siege-Tanks fired the cannons for the fourth time, and 2 more Dragoons fell to the ground, the 2 remaining Dragoons is sent home by Mezcalito,
Da_Saint suspecting that a trap is being set for his downsized army, decides to turn home as well, with a big smile on his face...
With his currage strengthen by the succesful battle on the templeground, Da_Saint's next plan is to set up Siege Tanks at the cliff right over Mezcalito's Natural Expansion, to slow down his gathering speed to the half, but before this Da_Saint expand to his own Natural, only guarding this with 3 Vultures and 1 Siege-Tank (+ Mines).
Mezcalito see this poor defending with help of one of his Observers....
But just a few second after this discover, Mezcalito does another discover as well; the discover of 2 Vultures placing Spider Mines on his clif the same time as a Siege Tank is killing his probes with the Chock-Haubits.
But Mezcalito is so Chobo, Gosu, or whatever you want to call him, so he already had a Shuttle, and quickly he loads 2 Zealots into it, drop them near the tank and let them destroy it (infact, the tank dies to a Spider-Mine, when it splashes right into a Zealot), and then take'em up again....but right after that he load them in again, and let them kill one of the Vultures, but both Zealots died to Fragdmetion Grenades and
Spider-Mines, leaving one Vulture controlling the Cliff over Mezcalito's Natural (he does no harm there, but he still controls it. doh).
The death of the damaged and lonesome Vulture is a fact when Mezcalito drop a Dragoon just beside him. The Dragoon was droped just a few centimeters from a Spider-Mine, that directly setted of, killing the Vulture and damaged the Dragoon. Finally Mezcalito had controll over his high ground, AND he had a Reaver, AND he had a second Reaver being built.....
Da_Saint, on the other hand, had NOT finished his Gosu-Chobo-Plans to take over the high-ground above Mezcalito's Natural Expansion, the plans for Da_Saint is quickly turned into a fact for Mezcalito, as 2 Vultures, 2 Siege Tanks and 4 Marines were sighted on his high-ground by the wounded Dragoon.
Just as Mezcalito's Dragoon is being demolished by this the Gosu-Force, he quickly load in his 2 new, fresh, dangerous Reavers into a Shuttle. What's happening after that is only pure art. By loading and unloading his 2 reavers due to the fact that the 4 Marines never had time enough to finish the Shuttle of before they had to ate a Scarab, Mezcalito manage to kill ALL the forces of Da_Saint,
just loosing one very Reaver....(the last Reaver died to a Spider-Mine just a few seconds later while he tries to get to the Shuttle...ROFLOL..)
After this chaos, Mezcalito feel a small advantage, and get himself a new expansion..
Excactly the same moment as when Da_Saint unloads a new Chobo-killing-probes-from-high-ground-squad, Mezcalito for the first time goes offensive, and drop 2 DT's in the heart if Da_Saint's Base. Da_Saint, that had almost only built factory-units, didn't have any Academy, and defenitley no ComSat Station....
no Enginering Bay was construct either, since the upgrades from it was not needed. And the Vessel's were not available yet; no Science Facility existed...
With Spider-Mines at his choke-point as the only detector, Da_Saint didn't see any other way out then the "SURRENDER" button. "gg"'s were exchanged, and Da_Saint lefts the game...
WINNER;
So...what have we learned today...?
There are still games were Micro-management owns Macro-Managment
Reavers are underestimated
Never forget how important a ComSat station actually is...
