vs.
PoeirTheHat (random zerg, top left)
Map= Space Atoll
Both players started with standard builds. TT scouted on SCV 7, and Poeir did a pool on 7 and scouted with his OL. TT did a supply Depot on 8 and a RAX by his choke just as he found Poeir with his SCV, which makes an offensive refinery. Poeir hatches 6 lings, kills the refinery, and then scouts with them. TT has a bunker at his CC, and his E-bay is floating elsewhere, so as to not get in the way. Poeir’s 5? lings find TT and attack the bunker, but they all die with no TT losses. Then a sixth shows up :P. Poeir starts a fast expansion to top right, and has a hydra den, a sunken colony, an extractor, and a lair. TT throws up a bunker and a turret at his choke. Poeir’s hatch at top right finishes, just as TT finishes an academy, followed quickly by a ComSAT and a StarPort and a Machine shop at his factory. Poeir is making a Queens nest. Uh Oh! We see a lurker egg only seconds walk away from TT’s base! The lone lurker kills 1 marine, and Poeir morphs 2 more. Now Poeir has a queen. TT blinds a lurker, but it finds its way up to a ledge where a tank is, and with queens spotting, he takes out the tanks because of lack of detection. Now, TT has a science facility and Poeir sends 3 lurkers to attack. All of them die with no terran casualties, but during the attack, he has made a hatchery at bottom mid-right, next to TT!!! TT now decides that he’s had enough, and brings out a SV with irridate to combat the lurkers. Poeir sends a drone to start a hatchery at bottom left, but by poor luck, a SV reaches there at the same time and irridates it. Poeir, to combat the SVs, builds a spire and defiler mound as he sends another drone to bottom left. Poeir makes a nydus at his main and morphs a hatchery just next to TT’s base to act as a firebase. TT decides to try out a funfun tactic and irridates his own SV and runs it over Poeir’s peon line at bottom mid-right, and it works, killing off all of his drones. Poeir’s starts a hatch at bottom left, and begins a nydus exit at his firebase, and his queens broodling 2 tanks. Now, TT knows something fishy is going on, so he explores, finds the firebase, and exclaims, “OH, S***!” Meanwhile, Poeir is making an Ultralisk Cavern and TT has a nuke silo. TT blinds Poeir’s overlord at his firebase, his only means of detection there, in preparation for a nuke. Poeir is making a greater spire. He throws up 2 dark swarms to cover the hydras as they move in… and morphs them into lurkers under the DS! Unfortunately, ½ of them die, and the other half burrow immediately and almost kill off the bunker, but not quite. They all die. TT sends some marines to attack the firebase, but ultras, fresh out of the nydus, kill them.
“Nuclear launch detected.”
Unfortunately for TT, it only kills a couple of hydras, a queen, and injures a sunken. In the meantime, however, a wing of wraiths kill ALL of Poeir’s Ols at his main. Poeir has no anti-air there!
“Nuclear launch detected.”
This time, the nuke kills everything at the firebase except for the hatch and nydus. Poeir hatches some mutas out of his badly damaged firebase, and morphs them into guardians. TT floats a CC-to Poeir’s bottom left gimme!
“Nuclear launch detected.”
This time, it finishes off the firebase. Poeir wants to get even and send in a pair of guardians. They only manage to take out a couple towers before they are chased away. However, he takes this time to restart his firebase with a new hatchery. Poeir discovers TT’s expansion at his bottom left gimme, so he destroys the bunker there, as the RAX is cancelled and the CC lifts off. TT’s CC is attacked by scourge and is brought into red, but it lands and makes a SCV to repair it in time. Poeir decides that he doesn’t want that to happen again, and he starts a hatchery of his own at the bottom left gimme.
“Nuclear launch detected.”
All the drones at Poeir’s bottom left go boom. Poeir decides to retaliate and sends in cracklings and hydras to take out his nuke silo, but they ALL die with NO TT casualties! TT tries another nuke at bottom left, but it is thwarted by a pair of cracklings and an overlord. Poeir masses hydras at his firebase. TT launches a nuke, but it is once again thwarted. Poeir starts an expansion at top mid-map, and moves in 13434562345245 hydras, all of which die without killing ANYTHING. TT tries to float a CC to bottom left gimme again, only to find it occupied. Poeir attacks with about 12 mutas, kills about 3 tanks, and flies away with 5 mutas left. He attacks again, this time with Guardians and mutas, and starts an expansion at midmap right.
“Nuclear launch detected.”
Poeir’s main is rent in blood and fire as a pair of nukes in quick succesion destroy all his tech. A wing of mutas attack TT’s bottom middle expansion [that is what became of the scourge-evac landing], killing towers and pounding on the 5 starports built there. TT tries to double nuke Poeir’s base, but it fails quickly as there are 2 OLs right there and 3 mutas are mere seconds away. Poeir infests a floating CC…
At which point I have to go, my friend was at the door (we were going to the mall to get a mother’s day gift).
GAME RESULT: VICTORY FOR POEIRTHEHAT
(we agreed that he would have won by overrunning TT with guardians and mutas.)
my apologies to the players for having to leave and messing up the game.
