Today we will look at 2 players. The ever so Notorious Fox^1 and TempleMan. (On a side note I will be using some of the players comments and statements that was given before during and after the game.)
Well Fox^1, how to describe Fox “ who doesn’t know Fox if you don’t know him you are a
dumbass.”Example of quote. TempleMan what can you say about TempleMan a very inconsistent player. However able to put on a show now and then.
They were both sitting in the channel clan ~Nohunters when I spotted them. TempleMan was looking for a game and must have figured Fox^1 wasn’t going to back down. (cough “unlike the always afk or also known Mark4” )
Fox^1 speedily made a game to settle his thirst for TempleMan, who strangely enough doesn’t really like to play on temple that much. However that will be the map that they play on today.
Fox randoms terran at 9 while TempleMan randoms toss at 12.
Things are pretty quite in the early game. Fox is doing a standard mec build & building vultures at first. While TempleMan takes the quick dt route then expands at 3. However that expansion is soon found by a vulture, the vulture took 2 hits of photon before passing through, however as TempleMan put it PROBE OWNAGE as the one vulture exploded by probe power. TempleMan proceeded to warp in a cannon by his nexus and another cannon at his expansions choke. Soon 4 vultures can shooting up the ramp and directed their fire at the lone cannon. However at that particular moment a war cry from the miners came out FOR AUIR!!! As 12 probes rushed to attack the vultures in the end the cannon was taken down however all probes remained intact with Fox 4 vultures short. Soon TempleMan adds a couple of gateways to his new expansion soon to be 4 however. But Fox was taking the loss in stride as he expanded to his natural. TempleMan hoping that Fox had almost no defense attempted an attack with about 2 Dark templar and 4 dragoons. However the massive mines, 1 vulture, and one tank was just too much. TempleMan not being idle however expanding to the 12 o’clock position. Seconds after Fox decids to take his mineral only. Things are starting to look bad for temple man as Fox triple’s the number of factories he previously had as it brings him to a total of 6. TempleMan tries to assault fox while his tanks r unsieged however much damage is done to the mix of 14 mech troops. TempleMan’s 10 mix of toss units just can’t cut it. However they retreat with 5 good men still remaining and being reinforced. About this time Fox decides to use that valley inbetween him and templeman as a slow tank push begins. However its stopped cold. Fox meetsTempleMan’s troops that are stationed in the center and a furious battle occur’s TempleMan devastated Fox’s Troops However Fox has reinforcements coming and TempleMan decides to expand to the 12 mineral only. Fox takes the northern island then Fox slowly starts to siege Templeman’s main base. About this time TempleMan moves a lot of his tech to the 3 oclock which is actually a little bit better than his main. He soon shows a fleet beacon. Showing he will be getting the mighty carriers. TempleMan decides to expand to the 12 natural as his last building in his main is destroyed. Things aren’t looking good for TempleMan however he has 2 carriers out and Fox with no anti air. (side note they were upgrading throughout the hole game, neither of them slacked on that. Soon Fox decides he’s tired of playing games with the TempleMan as he sieges the 12 natural. TempleMan makes an effort to save his base but his storm and troops r just not enuf. So he decides to psi raid!TempleMan starts to expand to the 3 o’clock natural seeing how he’ll be down one expansion soon. Now Fox figures’ this is the time to strike the killing blow as he starts to slowly siege to 3 but TempleMan not wanting to waste his troops sends only his 4 carriers with observers. ( The 2 templar templeMan used to psi raid were never killed till it was too late way way way too late. You will see what I mean) With the loss in miners TempleMan figured it was time to weaken fox’s economy even more. So he sent his 4 carriers out to stand on fox’s cliff while the 2 templar formed an archon. The carriers started a reign of terror over fox’s minerals. But fox was already expanding to the 6 o’clocks mineral only. Fox has goliaths by now but to no avail considering the cliff. SO he is forced to make wraiths however when they come to fight the carriers. Not only does TempleMan have 3 observers but that archon decimates the wraith’s rather quickly. TempleMan starts to make a arbiter tribune right after 2 more carriers pop out. TempleMan then attacks the island of fox. Things aren’t looking as good for fox right now. He’s been building many barracks and a couple more starports. TempleMan soon returns home to his base with only 2 carriers intact however those other 2 at home rejoin them. Soon Fox has a mix of wraiths infantry and a few mech units to attack. However storm hurts the party pretty badly. Soon templeMan is on the offensive with 4 carriers 2 arbiters and 8 goons 2 zealots and 2 templar. With more at his main just incase fox decides to counter. (I suppose) His observers have found fox’s new expansion at the mineral only and he is attacked. A desperate fight occurs. However TempleMan seems to lost all his observers. ( fox with 8 wraiths in the air hehe !) Storm soon ripples killing a couple of wraiths. Soon however the arbiters comes up and freezes them all ! OMG this game is starting to turn around. However eventually TempleMan retreats with only his 2 arbiters remaining. However almost immediately he attacks again with observers in hand. Which slowly kill the expansion. TempleMan has now produced many gateways. Obviously he let some money build up with the new production of ten gates & 3 starports. Soon he attacks fox’s main freezing 15 or so infantry and 9-10 wraiths. TempleMan crashes through fox’s defense with the help of the arbiters!
Lessons learned : arbiter is totally underused
TempleMan was very costeffective
Fox still rocks
It was a great game, which proves terran would always win without carriers How to really play a game
Final scores well lets just say fox won one the scoring.
