The Scoop
Ok here's the scoop. My clan (not gonna tell you what it is, nana!) holds a tournment every once in a while. A special tourney for only the best in the clan. The leader makes a list of the top 20 people in the clan, turns it into a poll and posts it on our site. The members then vote and the 16 people with the most votes compete in a 16 man 1v1 tourney. I was not one of them, but let me tell you how I ended up getting into the tournament. One of the people favoured to win had a party to go to (at least some of us have lives...)so he couldn't make it. Standard procedre of this occuring is that one of the 4 people not making it to the tourney take his place. The problem was that 4 other people in the tourny couldnt make it etiher, so the replacement four were taken.
Since me and the favourite are like this (/me crosses his fingers) he asks the leader if I could play in his spot. After 10 minutes of falling out of his chair, pounding on the floor, coughing up his lunch and laughing his fuxing ass off, the leader agrees. And so the tourney began.
After several games of me either rushing (i luv doing that to better players than me) macroing, being gay, and being annoying, I ended up making it to the finals. How I did this I may never know but I think half the people I played fell asleep on their keyboard and controlled their units from finger spasm's and the other half couldn't stop laughing at me, allowing me to somehow micro my way to victory.
My opponent I will refer to as Bob(nothing to do with bob_the_newt), and he was one of the other replacement guys. The first game was played on challenger and I decided to rush him (I AM THE MASTER RUSHER!!!^^) just to get a short edge in the 3 game series. The second game was on Dire where my gaurdians got the shit kicked out of em by cloaked wraiths (ovies suck)and he infantry dropped my main. My lurkers fought valiantly, but to no avail as irradiate handed me my head in a hand basket. The third game was played on Rivalry where my terran get eaten up my muta/ling with some gaurds thrown in. Im never going heavy metal ever again vs zerg cause gaurds>all ground. So there it is, I lost the tourney and made a shitty all text BR. But, to make it spicy, I actually wrote a BR to up my rating from a 3 to a 4.
The Real Reason I'm reporting this
Okay, so now you guys are all bored to death and are wanting some action. After the tourney, me and bob were both pretty bored, so we decided to play another game, just for fun. But there are 2 twists to this: 1)the only pics ill use are gonna be minimaps (i.e. i forgot to take screen shots during the game) and 2) The game is on SC, not BW( i.e. we're gay). Alright, here goes.
Now finally, the game...
Map:Temple(its purple cause its gay^^)
Players:
Me toss 6:00
Bob Terran 1:00( I dont know my clocks, I could be wrong =/)
And finally the boring part: the game :(
If you're not a dumbass, you'd already know that I'm toss at 6. We both randomed, so I have no fuxing clue what he is. My build went something like: 7pylon(send probe to scout), 9gate,10pylon, 12gate. I sent my probe to scout counter clockwise, which, sadly, was the wrong way.(i always send it the wrong way....I'm cursed) As the little buggar makes his way up the 1:00 ramp, he see's 1 finished rax and 1 being built along with a finished depot and 1 marine standing gaurd. My cool probe scoots past the rine to scout his further base. I see he has a refinery and an acadamy being built. Not trying to let my cool probe die, I attempt to lose the pursuing rine in his peon line then make it like peon sanders being chased by rabbid pirahna's, but he makes his move too quickly and the rine is able to pick his way out of the peon line and fill the mechanical thingy full of lead. ouch.
We'll from the looks of it he was attempting some m&m. I chuckled as I warped in some gas and slapped down a cycore. He forgot we were playing SC. I warp in a forge and start pumping zeals. When I get 100 gas, I start the ground weapons upgrade then start goon production when gas allowed it, only to be halted when I start saving up for range.
I was getting bored now and so far I have a set and a half of goons and zeals mixed. Looking to stirr up some action, I sent that along with a couple probes to see what I can do to Bob's base.
I have them meet at his choke then move to his ramp, probes in front. A brave probe runs up the ramp first only to be met by a bunker, couple vultures, 3 tanks, a few firebats, and a shitload of marines. I quickly run my forces back home with the rines and firebats in hot pursuit. As I reach the temple, I stop my goons and split them into two groups to flank the rines as my zeals hit the center. He stimmed up and my zeals got fried, but the small amount of damage done by stim and the time my poor zeals bought for my goons added up to make a lot of blood, explosions, and yucky blue stuff. My few goons remaining stood gloriosly(sp?) atop the blood stained battle field, admiring their handiwork and licking their wounds as a force of vulutes ran in and focused on the damaged goons while laying mines, decimating my moment of glory. damn you Bob, your gonna die.
At least now I knew two things: 1) he has already figured out this isn't bw and must of beat himself over the head for not realizing that goons>rines with no med support and 2) hes going rines and tanks with some vulutres. Being the gay BW player I am, I figure the best counter to this is dt's. I put down a citatel of adun then a templar archives. When they finish, I click on the gate only to see that I can't get dt's in SC. fsalhfsdajfhsadflkjhsafjhdskl!!!!!!!!!!!! This non bw game was beginning to take its toll on me. I curse as I continue to pump goons and zeals out of my 2 gates. Seeing that my reasources were low, I move my rally point from my ramp to my choke and send a probe to my natural. Only when I begin to warp in my nexus does Bob's infantry/vulutres( I think he was too lazy to unsiege his tanks...either that or cocky) come pouring in. He begins laying mines like a madman as his rines/bats stim. Knowing my goons will soon be feeding the ground their soup, I cancel my nexus and run my goons back to the top of my ramp, leaving my zeals at the bottom. Now, 1 thing I think he forgot in the game was range, which I didn't forget. Now, lets look at the math. I have like 13 goons spread out along my ramp and the ridge beside it ( I love how AI does that for you sometimes) with range. I have 6 zeals at the bottom. my upgrades are 1/0/0. He has 20 non ranged rines and 8 bats attacking my zeals while the goons have a field day blowing them away. You can see how this will turn out so to save your lunch/dinner/breakfast I wont go into detail.
When the battle dies down, I send my surviving zeals to clear out the mines the pesky vulutres left behind and re expanded to my natural. To increase troop production, I add another gate and also another forge to increase upgrades. I begin on the second ground weapons and first ground shields as I add 3 cannons to my natural and get it online. I also start temp production and upgrade psi storm. A while back I forgot to mention I added a robo facility just in case it came in handy and now was when it was needed. I needed to know what was going on in his base so I put down an observaotry and quickly qued up 2 obs'. I sent one to my coke and the other to his main. The one en-route to his main quickly got blown away as it flew past my mineral only. I scroll up my screen to see a tank push in the making complimented with 2 bunkers and a turret with his whole army stading around outside. I have about 2 sets of goons and a set of zeals, with upgrades of 1/1/0 and the 2nd weapons soon to be finished. Shit. I soon hear the sound of temps being finished and I check the psi storm upgrade. about 30 seconds to finish. I suddenly have a plan (and I dont have many of em). I que up 2 shuttles and step up goon and zeal production. By the time the shuttles finish the psi storm upgrade is done and I load up 3 temps, a zeal in one and 2 goons in the other and swing up and about 2 screens away from the push. I then order all my foces at my choke to charge at the push. I unload my temps behind him and storm the shit out of the tanks and infantry. With no tank support and his rine's zapped up, Bob realizes he has no chance in saving the push and pulls back all he has left. Now, I have a chance in winning this game.
I make another obs and send him to bob's base to see what he's planning next. I find that there are 3 star ports in the making. Knowing I cant get sairs, I slap down a starport and get the next best thing: scouts. I realized that I'll need more mula for this, so I expand to 7:00. I put down another gate to further step up troop production. Every once in a while I would throw in a shuttle just in case I'd need it. Seeing that my choke wasn't big enough, I set my rallie points to just outside his min only in hope of containing him. I add 2 gates at my 7:00 exp and set those rallies to his min only as well. By now I think he realized what I was doing cause tanks began blasting the hell out of my goons from the ledge at his main, making me pull em back a little. I sent an obs to count the tanks of which there were about 9 all bunched together.
Making sure he wasn't trying to expand ( I had him kept away from his natural) I sent an obs to 12:00. To my surprise, I saw a fully operationall exp w/ wall in. I frown at the sight. He must of had this for a while. But then I remember those scouts I was making to counter his wraiths or bc's. My frown turned up side down as I take them along with 4 drop ships of probes (my main mined out) and 2 dropships of goons and temps and send them to rid his exp. Aside from a tank or two and a bunker at his minerals, there wasn't much in-base defense at the exp. and the forces at his ramp got stormed to hell while the scouts/probes pounded on everything else. Thinking this battle was won, I started to turn my attention elsewere and began to load up my shuttles when all of a sudden they were being blown out of the sky. I sat there confused for a moment, but I soon figure out wtf is happening. Dammit the wraiths. I storm where I think they are and see a few pop, but my forces die faster than you can say "omfgayassbitchishitonyourfacethenkickyouintheballs!!!!!!!!!"
To say the least, my men up there were screwed (although I managed to get some scouts and a temp or two out).Seeing that obs wont be enough, I start putting cannons in random spots along the territory I controlled. I remembered I had a few surviving shuttles and formulated yet another plan.(2 in one game, I cant believe it) Filling up my remainig shuttles with zeals, probes, and 2 temps, I drop them right beside his tanks. I spread my forces out to get close to all the tanks, and, to my pleasure, the tanks began blowing each other away! Of course my men were dying along with them, so thats why I brought along the 2 temps and kept them outa the battle. When all the zeals and probes died, I stormed away the rest of the tanks then transported my preacious temps out before the wraiths could arrive.
Now was as good a time as any to make my final and game deciding blow. With my upgrades at 2/2/1, I began to feel a win coming. seing I had 7 shuttles, I loaded em all up with goons and swung around to the back of his base. I was so close to delivering the blow, I could smell it. Then, with out warning, as my shuttles reached the back of his base, they began popping like flies. aadsfhsafk! He kept his wraiths back there just in case I decided to pull something sly like this. Deciding I would take none of this, I brought my 9 scouts and 2 obs plus a shuttle containing 4 temps around to the back of his base to rid the wraiths. My scouts engaed the wraiths at the point in 1:00 where the top of his base meets water. Close enough to be stormed. If I had not dropped some temps for storm, the scouts would have been gonners since he had 2 sets of wraiths there. But, 4 temps with a lot of mana can do unholy damage to your opponent, including winning a key battle. Then, with the mana the temps had left, I sent them to the wall in to see what they could storm while my surviving scouts pounded on some buildings. My temps took out some tanks and a few marines before they all died, but thats all I needed. I sent my forces at the choke to attack and had them focus fire on any buildings that were part of a wall in. There were around 7 raxes scattered by his ramp and about 6 tanks. There was a countless number of rines, but after a few bloody storms, they were nothing but heads rolling around on the ground. I broke through his choke and started to clean up anything that needed cleaning. Upgrades rule. After a few mins of reviewing the game with Bob, I blew away his last building and we headed back to the channel to continue our analasys of the game.
Afterthoughts
