Lifetime Rating for GhOsT~lizard: 5.4493 |   | Well this evening a dude named sunny_daddy(gay name eh?) was talking trash about terran in nh, after trying to reason with him I take mark's suggestion and challenge him to a terr/toss game. I let him pick the map and he chooses Dire(surprise!). I agree and off we go!
VITAL INFORMATION:
Map:Dire Straits
Ghost~lizard(terran) upper right
sunny_daddy(protoss) lower left
Observers:mark4,bliBhe(FLS) and xNAILx(i think...)
BATTLE COMMENCES:
Even thought it was only my 4th time playing terran on dire I HAD to win otherwise he would brag for days to come. I hated his arrogance and that fueled me as well as mark telling me to own him hard:) I go with my dire build, refinery on 8th, depot, rax, 4 marines, fac bunker, ebay turrets. I was planning to go wraith and drops.
THE "DROP":
I'm off to a good start, I got a well positioned bunker and 2 turrets and 3 tanx guarding my peons when he drops 2, thats right TWO zealots, lets just say they don't live long enought to tell the story. After that little pathetic drop I had a feeling there was no way in hell I was gonna lose that game.
EXPANSION ACTION:
I use my firs wraith to scout and come across his new expansion, I kill the probe so it didn't have time to warp in the nexus, only 2 pylons remained. While stopping his expansion I attempted to expand myself but he dropped 4 goons and 2 DTs, I was forced to lift off. I floated my CC to another island and fortified it with 4 wraiths, 10+ rines 4 turrets and a bunker. He attempted a zealot/DT/goon drop along with 3 corsairs but it failed, all I lost was a turret and 2 marines.
I DROP:
I got things running smoothly now, I got 5 raxes, a starpot, factory and a sci facility. Finally I get my fave unit, THE GHOST! Just to keep him on his toes I drop some M&Ms on his island, I kill 3 goons and a couple of probes before he storms me:(
EXPANSION ACTION, TAKE TWO:
I feel that I'm in a good position to win right now so I decide to expand again, I take the lower right island and fortify it with 2 bunkers, 2 turrets and M&M/ghosts. I drop off some SCVs from my main there and get it working in no time.
THE BIG DROP:
I comsat his main and see that he's not patrolling the island real well so I drop off 4 dropships of M&M/ghots, an SCV and 4 tanx there. I make 2 bunkers,turret and siege em up. A nice battle is fought, at the end I got a bunch of M&M/ghosts left standing, I kept locking down his goons and arbiters, I also got a few sairs along the way. According to mark it was "sweet micro".
NUKING 101:
Well, well, well I see that mr.protoss isn't doing too well, he seems to have lost his main:( After disposing of his troops I nuke it, I kill probes and pylons and damage his gateways. I expand again and nuke his expansions, it was really close to my island so I nuked from the edge. I took out his photons and M&Ms finished it off.
MOP UP:
Minutes later I nuke his last exp, I drop off M&Ms,ghosts and tanx after his cannons are gone and it falls. I keep dropping troops at his island, I kill 4 carries that he was able to amass, lockdown some probes (it was HILARIOUS) and double nuke his pylons, too bad I didn't get a pic of that cuz it was really cool. After I have fun and abuse him some more he conceides.
LESSONS LEARNED:
-Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk.
-Skill matters, if the terran is better he wins, toss is better he wins.
-Terran dropships suck, how slow can they get.
-Terran ownz.
