Prologue
I went to channel nohunters and most the people were either bots or didn't want to play. Well i checked out the melee games and saw 2 on 2 experts, dispite the fact that i am far from a expert i joined. I looked at my score and knew i needed more games and the other player only had about 2X my games, well nobody else joined so it became a 1 on 1.
Chapter 1
I did my vulture build(not rush) which is 8 rax 9 depot 10 gas and mid way though the gas my scv scout found him, but he had 2 bases and nothing but a forge which is a typical zerg strat. I made a second rax and pumped out marines till i had 7-8 and ran them down in hopes to kill the exp.
My marines walked in a long line so the newly formed cannons got to have a shot at every un-upgraded marine as it walked down, final score was i had no marines he had a cannon with 3 life(and more under)
Chapter 2
My scouting scv build a turret in his first base which lasted for a while and told me what he was doing, then he killed it so i then used comsat on his base every once and a while. He was able to make expansions quickly from the money of his 2 bases. I made a exp as soon as i could made more marines with the armor upgrade. Vultures would do very little to cannons so i got tanks, but he also got templar to counter my marines and shuttles to drop dark templar.
Chapter 3
When i saw the templar i made SV quickly for the templar and to scout for his other bases but he then sent a large scale force of zealots and right after that a large force of goons which killed my bunkers 8 marines and 2 tanks
More marines came to kill the goons which were pounding on my tanks and then i rebuilt to have 4 tanks 3 bunkers and a mess load of marines and i floated a CC to the left isle and made a expansion next to me until it was killed by goons and he build a nexus and cannons these(with goons guarding).
Then comes another attack only bigger and this time he made great use of d web and storm, i had heavy losses but my emp and waves of marines saver me (tanks put a dent in till they died)
Chapter 4
Well it wasn't looking good for me, we fought over more bases and kept killing and taking over until i started making nukes he hears it twice in a row the lovely sound of Nuclear launch detected, one in the top right and one in his first expansion but i only emped the right one
After that i only nuked a few more times but the most lucky one was when i aimed for 2 groups of goons and killed most of em. The rest was easy i sent a few marines and tanks to each of his bases (emping first) and he only had a few templar with mana and the micro was hard on him for after 2 waves of this all his expansions were dead so i rallied all my guys to my temp base next to his but it was safe with the valcs for drop ships and corsairs and tanks with sci vessel for goons and templar.
Ending
my tanks got though some of the cannons but since he was making men to fast i stimmed my marines w/ medics and killed them all with few deaths. I ran up the hill and lost 7 marines to storm but i had others and tanks helped a lot. I then killed all his pylons in less then 3 minutes, never play hid the pylon vs comsat and SV.
La Fin
Lessons learned- valcs are great against drop ships, he was a good templar dropper
Nukes kick toss @$$ so does emp
Terran are much better at taking the board so he cannot make any men if you saw he had a star port, he actually had 3 and was trying to make carriers but i never let his get the resources. |
