Whazzzzzz up
Welcome to my first Battle Report! I hope you enjoy it and please
give me any advice you can think of :) Thanks
..(Merlin).. - Zerg @ 3 (Choson)
vs
|MaNiAcMaRiNe| -
Terran @ 12 (Random) |
| Pre Game, Merlin changed to Zerg at the
last second. And hence we started. Marine commands
the Human force of the Terran agaist the Swarm. Merlin
sends his Overlord to 12 and spots the Terran forces, when he see's Marines
SCV making a vital Supply Depot at his ramp...and that brings us to build
orders...
Merlin went for: 9 Overlord
12 Hatchery
12 Pool
Then Early Gas
and his terran foe, Marine went for: |
|
8 Supply Depot
9 (or 10 not 100% sure) Barracks
Second Depot around 13
Early Gas
Both players are no doubt Teching, with Marine getting a Factory before Merlins Lair starts. During this time though, Merlin was making a force Zerglings, hence the later than normal Lair. Merlin scouted with one Zergling and at the same time, Marine was sending 4 Marines and a lone SCV to Merlins
base...but they didn't make it... |
|
The ling met up with the marines, and since Marine
didn't use Attack Move, the Zergling, who we call Fred, did manage to do
around 20 damage to one Marine but then Fred was shot several times. His
family was notifed of the death and the entire Zerg Colony was shocked
by his death.
|
At this time, instead moving in forces down toward Merlin,
he just makes a bunker at his choke...all the time Merlin
was massing a Zergling force........ |
As you can see from the pictures, a group of Merlins
Zerglings are burrowed near his natural and he has another group above
his ramp. Why though? Well it is simple really, if attacked, the group
on the ramp can engage the troops, and then you can take the Zerlings that
are burrowed, and also use them to attack, which is really a good idea....back
to the game...
Merlins Lair has finished and he started
a Spire right after. Marine had 1 Factory
done, and another being made. He also made a Engineering Bay being made
near his bunker.
| Then the fighting started...Merlin took
a large Zergling force and sent it to Marines Bunker.
As you can see it wasn't a good sight...the Bunker died rather fast, and
after it was destroy a cool thing happened...all the marines died at the
same time! The Zerglings, happy that they killed the murderer of Fred,
ran back to the new |
 |
expansion at Merlins Natural. Notice how Merlin
attacked AND expanded at the same time? This is the safest time to expand
and it truly showed how great of a player Merlin
is. Also notice to save his Engrnerring Bay, Marine
lifted it off.
| As you can see on the right Marine has
not expanded yet, however Merlin has 1 expansion
running. At this time both players spent time building up their army's.
Marine was working on Tanks with a few Vultures
and Merlin was working on Mutes with Zerglings.
With no anti-air, things are not looking good for Marine.
But things can happen...also worth note, Marine
was making a few Turrents around his Mineral Patch. Was he hacking? No. |
Mini-Map Update
 |
This is actually a good move, because when bases are so close together,
the Zerg often drops several Lurkers in the Terrans base, usally in the
SCV line.
| As you can see, Mutes > 1 Vulture, but this told Marine that Mutes
where coming his |
 |
way. As you can see he was shocked, but hey, early game he did say "No
Lurkers plz". With these mutes, he attacked Marines Ramp, but then seeing
af ew turrents, he ran them through Marines base, only losing 1 I think.
| Marine now started a third factory and
a Armory, no doubt planning on going for Goliths, hoping they could defeat
the Mutes. Could they do it though? |
 |
 |
Marine had 6 Turrent protecting his Mineral
patch now. But only 2 protecting his tanks! Then the action came...Mutes
attacked the ramp... |
As you can see, Merlin won the battle
and hence the war. Marine left the game. GG
to both players.

Lessons Learned...
Lings can be useful vs Terran
BR's take awhile to make...
Merlin = Gosu
Reckon is KEY vs Zerg as Terran
