EARLY GAME
So that's how it started out. Everyone went with standard builds, 2 gates for both toss, 2 rax for both terran. Killer and Bee drew first blood, sending 2 zealots and 2 marines to acc's base. With the help of probes and zealots, acc managed to hold off this attack. At this time both toss put down another gateway, and bee expanded to 4:00.
Acc and Crys quickly sent their forces to the front of Beesting's base for a counterattack. Killerstealth did something interesting before he knew about the strike and put a bunker with 4 marines in beesting's base.
The strike commenced, and proved to be lethal. About 6-8 zeals were sent in by acc, and 7 marines with 1 medic by crys. Bee's zealots fought bravely, but were no match for the overwelming forces. The bunker also got in some hits, but soon it was surrounded by zealots who burned it to the ground. the death screams of the marines soon followed. Knowing that his main was gone, bee set up 3 cannons at his expansion and sent over some of his surviving main-base probes.
MIDDLE GAME
Killer decided to make a small but deadly attack on crys, sending 3-4 marines, a medic, and a vulture into crys's supply line. After killing a few scvs and marines, this strikeforce died, with the vulture being blown up with the help of scvs. Crys and Acc sent all their forces to killer's base, but seeing a strong terran defense, which included mines, tanks, and bunkers, opted for containment instead. Crys teched a bit at this time, throwing down a starport while cranking some tanks from a single factory, as well as getting 2 expansions underway. One of the expansions Crys took was the plateau very close to killer's base, thus also serving as an offensive base. Acc also expanded, but was soon harassed by 3 of bee's zealots. Bee had by this time got 2 gateways up and slowly starting to climb back into the game. Acc sent over dtemps which had been unsuccessfully trying to harass killer to give their cousins their death blows, but not before the zealots managed to destroy the nexus. Acc made sure to keep the dtemps there for defense when he rebuilt his nexus. He also built more gateways, which by the end of the game totaled 8!
Killer, seeing that he was contained and desparate for resources, expanded to the island to his right. Crys also expanded yet again to bee's old main. Bee attempted to expand to the plateau close to acc's base, but was soon brought down by a force of goons. Bee tried a 7 zealot attack on Acc's exp, but the zealots died in vain to a cannon and 3 dtemps, not even killing a single probe.
LAYING THE SMACK DOWN ON BEESTING
Things were going downhill, and fast for Killer and Bee. Soon after this 7 zealot attack, just as Bee was laying down some tech buildings (temp archives and robo bay) Crys executed a deadly tank drop on the overlooking cliff. This completely halted mining operations for Bee, and the single wraith sent by killer was shot down by 2 turrets while running through Crys's base. While the tanks were pounding on bee's base, Acc brought in a large force of goons and zeals. The cannons placed there (about 7) were no match for the superior numbers of goons and bee was soon eliminated.
FINAL STAGE
Killer knew he had not a chance, and the final wave soon arrived. Several goons, zeals, and dtemps accompanied by marines and medics marched into his base. The terran defense crumpled under the superior numbers, and killer surrendered with a GG.
Lessons:
I don't think its a great idea to early exp with toss far away from u'r base. It really slows u down a lot, and that's one of the main reasons bee's main base was razed. Other than that, I don't think I learned much. Here are the screen shots: | | Battle Shots! |
