Lifetime Rating for Mind Twist: 4.1333 |  | Okay, here is another pointless BR from pointless Mind_Twist. After earlier doing a 3v1 comp rush on Blood Bath telling my “partners” my zealots were sleeping and letting them do the work as I fixed some food, and more recently losing to a guy named biscuit_head in a decent 1v1 (Terran vs Terran) on Showdown (I woulda won, I know I was doing better in tank/vulture production (he didnt even make vultures) but he did stuff like offensive bunker that slowed me down. I got in a 1v1 with a guy named Lord_Tridus (from channel nohunters) and we dueled it out.
Info:
Map: Rivalry (ooh a change from temple for once)
Players_
me, Protoss (Chosen), top right corner
Lord_Tridus, Protoss (Random), lower right corner
I started out with a (I think) pylon on 8, gateway on 9 and 11. Yeah, that’s it. I went forward and as I sent my scout out his came in :( He had early recon of my 2 gates comin in. No biggie, that’s pretty common. I checked top left, nothing, lower left, nothing, and FINALLY found him lower right. He had 2-3 gates, forge, nothin more. I couldn’t turn this info into much until zealots cama-a-knockin.
I blucked with the wonderful chokehold stuffing, and he stayed outside my base with higher numbers of troops. I went assim early (b4 finding his base, just a few seconds b4 actually), cy core, made a couple goons, and got 2 robo facs. Goon Range upgrade was coming in, as was Armor +1 on ground.
I got a pretty decent drop in his peons. Unloaded Reaver, 2 scarabs out, picked him up cuz of 2 zealots, moved him, 1 scarab, ran. I didn’t know what to do here.. I shuttled a probe off to top left to expand, but a zealot of his found and stopped that attempt, and I conceded. I had no idea what to do! So that’s the point of this BR. I don’t know what to do to stop toss vs toss containment like that.
In my drop I saw the citadel thingie, so I knew going dtemps would just bring out slower than he would get his. The reaver drop was successful, but he’d have defense for any others, so that’s out. I had 1 stargate warping in, but friggin scouts are 300 min a piece, geez!!
Afterwards in chat Lord_Tridus told me he had goon range, zealot speed, and 1 attack upgrade. I ddin’t have as much. And since he couldn’t get into my base via ramp he told me he was just a tadd slow to load up shuttles, so I was doomed anyways :(
I don’t know what to do.....err, what should I have done? I’m really tryin to give BW more of a shot, but more losses are comin in game by game :(
Lessons Learned:
-Esp to Dr.SaltyBallz.. I still suck man :p
-I made a map vs 2 comps with like 2 resource patches (hehe) and me with 7 or 8 mineral spots, 1 vespene guyser, and an expansion area with 7-8 resource patches and 2 geysers and went mass carriers. I tell you, I was running out of mineral, not gas! And by the time people get 8-10 carriers air can be nearly fully upgraded. With like 6 carriers I was 1/1/2 or 2/1/2 or something like that..
-If I’m in a game and I have 1-2 expansions, remind me to throw down some stargates :p
-Containment is mean. I have to try it too sometime. If Tridus had set up some cannons it would’ve only made it worse for me.. and boy, if he’d set up a shield regenerator or 2..
-When trying to hide an expansion, hide it!! I should’ve dropped that probe off on the top middle expansion.. Hell, that might’ve been an island!
-As I relook on what I’ve wrote and my memories of the game.. I could’ve throwed up some cannons, put down a 3rd gate maybe and gone reaver/zealot/goon/cannon defense on his big attack that was coming.. and while doing that I’d get high templar. Would that work? I want to make the best of my losses :|
Oh yeah, can I get a gold bengalaas w/o winning the game?
