Okay... I've had trouble in the past with people that do a very annoying 12 carrier, 12 scout, 8 corsair attack on me. Namely a Hawaian friend of mine, WarpBlade. We decided to play a 1on1 earlier today, and see who was the better player.
TheRubberDucky (Me)(bottom position)
Brown Protoss (bottom position)
vs
The EVIL WarpBlade (My evil opponent) (top-left position)
Purple Protoss
(that's got a ring to it? like Teal Toss, and dead toss.)
Map: WinterConquest (great map, I love it, especially when you can contain your opponent to a measelly 2 bases (3, but I eventually killed his main)
Early Game-------
I started out with a quick and easy pylon on 7 and gateway on 11, since I wanted to contain him to a few bases I got a forge quickly after that, and sent a probe out to locate him.
When I did my shift clicking I didn't press far enough into his base for me to discover him, so I actually had to scout a second time before finding him.
I placed a pylon at his entrance and filled itt with 9 photon cannons, 8 of which, remained there the ENTIRE game. ( I had to destroy 1 to get a few templar through)
I sent the probe to see what he had (14 zealots, 3 dragoons, out of 1 gateway) odd, I thought, he must be doing a very strange build I have never before seen
Pre-Mid-Game----------
My super probe spied a shuttle (which suprised me becuase I hadn't seen a robo factory in his base) fly towards the two island exspansions in the middle of the map, I decided to let him take them, as I could easily hold him there, as of now, my attack force consisted of 24 zealots, and 12 dragoons, along with 2 templar and a reaver, since I negelcted expanding thus far, I sent a probe to the top right, bottom right, and bottom left exspansions, and 1 to my natural and started fortifying them with photon cannons. I sent my army into his base, having to break off one of my own cannons (the only building I loss in the ENTIRE game hehe) I easoily destroyed his main and he loaded all of his probes and sent them to one of his two exspansions.
Post-Pre-Mid-Game------------
I took a probe doing nothing at my now depeleted home geyser, and had it make a ring, 2 rows deep, around EACH of his 2 exspansions, I also made 2 nexuses by the gas geyser's there.
Mid-Game---------------(Finally huh?)
A little chat....
WarpBlade: I must eat lunch bbl
Me: so?
WarpBlade: I must eat lunch bbl.
Me: go ahead, I'll go watch the fireworks for a few minutes.
So I saved the game, and went down to the elementry school, bought some wierd 3-D glasses, and watched the cool fireworks (What better way to celebrate the independence of your nation than watching fireworks in between starcraft sessions huh?)
RETURN! Of The Mid-Game-----
WarpBlade: Lunch was good, we had pizza from pizza hut
Me: That's wonderful
Rish now I was in no condition to do anything to his 2 bases, so I decided to EXPAND everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE my minimap had acne it was so bad, I built 14 stargates, so I could bui;d my attack force as soon as possible
when I figured I had enough money, I destroyed EVERY SINGLE UNIT that I had, which was mostly probes, (about 100 of them) I now had 0/200 psi, cool huh?
I started building 2 carriers in 12 of the stargates, and 1 arbiter in the other 2
from my last check on his exspansions he was going goon crazy, and he was fully aware of my cannons, becuase it appeared he was getting corsairs for d-web
Late-Game------
I attacked with my carriers, and immediately lost 2 arbiters, back at home I constructed another carrier. my 25th.
The Limit
The Most
The Lamest, most un creative attack force ever. 25 carriers, stomping down on 2 WEAK exspansions.
Right now I had about, 200 interceptors, sometimes less, for about 10-20 seconds it took me to destroy his 2 bases
WarpBlade: MwaHaHA!!!!!!!!
Me: ?????????
Income 24 unupgraded scouts. fortunatley I won, and lost no carriers , but a lot of interceptors. He had taken back a corner of his original base, and had 3 gates, working on carriers, while 9 waited patiently while the capacity upgrade finished
I annhilated that measely base, and it's little dog too!
---------------------------------------------------------
Lessons learned
---------------------------------------------------------
-Only use carriers on people who normally piss you off by making you kill them to win
-Only build 25 carriers when your sure your opponent A. doesn't have a million scouts, B. Is incompotent (like today)
-God it feels good to finally have more wins than my friend (112 vs 111!)
