Lifetime Rating for TheRubberDucky: 6.8316 |  | I was looking for a game the other day and mark4 said he'd play me, and he told me a while ago to write a report.
Here goes......
Evil Bug Smashers:
mark4, protoss, bottom right starting position.
Nice, kind, badly positioned bugs:
TheRubberDucky (Queen_Rusher), zerg, bottom left location
Bug land, Dire Straights
I started out with my new island build vs random by sending my ol to scout BEFORE selecting my drones (bad idea) then 4-pooling when I found my opponent.
Actually I started out by going hatch, pool, extractor, hatch dbl lair, den mass hydra drop. heck, on just about any large map/island map thats what I do, I usually don't expand until I have my hydras on the way on island maps thow, on big maps, I expand with second hatch =] When I landed my hydras I was suprised (I think) to find out he already had a few templar for storm, but my 16 hydras were able to avoid the storm for a while, so I'm pretty sure all of my losses we're to the goons. The goons owned me. 2 goons. I sucked on that drop =[ I sent out 2 ols' with 2 drones and 3 hydras in each to search for exspansions, and to make 2 myself, I think I only got 2 the whole game, and lost them both to mad reavers.
Since I was thinking badly I decided to do muties, even thow he had a bunch of templar, heres the really annoying part. I found an exspansion of his, teched up to gaurdians, made 3, now I had 15 muties and 3 guardians, he had a few cannons, and a SINGLE templar defending this exspansion, I had some queens, but not enough energy for broodling yet, so I just attacked, I never knew that templar could hit gaurdians at max range. that sux. now since they were stormed I tried to turn and run, but my 15 muties decided to go and kill it, a SINGLE storm killed ALL 15. ALL 15 My bugs were pissed, and decided that air was not such a good idea, even though I never saw a single corsair/scout/anything, so I just made a few scourge to kill incoming shuttles. By now both my mani and my half dead exspansion were mined out so I decided to plop down a 4th hatchery and try and get another exspansion running.
I never got the time. He came in with 8 reavers, and atleast 6 archons. I had about 40-45 hydras waiting for my ovies to come back so I could drop them on 1 of mark4's mains, the thing here that pisses me off, is I had a bunch of scourge patrolling the edges, and I dunno how he got passed them, cuz I was detecting the whole area incase of observers. I thought BREIFLY of him useing maphack (very briefly mark) I assumed it was just dumbluck, or he saw them with an observer before I sent out ovies. Oh well, I guess I just suck
Lessons Learned
-I sux
-Templar ownz zerg
-I needed to use my queens more, and defilers two, plagueing the archons would be dumb, I did ensnare them thow. Tried to atleast.
-Hydras rock with the speed upgrade, no need for storm, yer gonna need goons/reavers. (like 8 of them =])
-To those of you that accused ME of maphacking, just say so and I'll start posting random pics from my games on the bottom of my reports, or have my opponents do "hack checks"
